Post-match discussion


Thu, 16 February 2023

Excellent game, perfectly set up for us to feck them bloody next week. MARCUS RASHFORD.............. :drool:
 
Great game, loads of work to be done, but f*ck me we are on the right path with this manager & team.
 
Loved every second of that.

Nearly twenty attempts on goal away to Barcelona is mental considering where we were the last few years.

Ten Hag is working miracles here.
 
Not many teams come away from the Nou Camp feeling they should have got the win
 
Great game, on another day we win that, but Gavi will be out for Barcelona, Martinez will return, and no one got injured or sent off
Enough from that game where I think we can beat them
WE GO FOR IT and then onwards to the Carabao final
 
That was a fun match. Really really entertaining. I haven’t enjoyed a match that much in a while. Matches like these make football worth watching.

Can’t be upset with 2-2 at the Nou Camp, although we should have won. That in itself shows how far we have come, that we went to the Camp Nou and emerged as moral victors.
 
Feels mad to be a bit gutted by drawing away at Barca but definitely deserved to win that. Fecking great game.
 
Being disappointed about a draw at the Camp Nou speaks volumes about how far we've progressed. Great game, could easily have won.
 
Great game of football, really topsy turvy. Good result. All to play for at old Trafford.
 
Reminded me of the 3-3s in 99!

What a game of footy, result should have been better.

For me this was a free hit and a barometer of where we are. We are getting there now!
 
Feels like a frustrating draw. We could’ve had them.

Really hope we do the business at home
 
Should have won that. Feels like a loss.
Hopefully we hammer them at OT
 
I’d have taken your arm off for a 2-2 before the game, so delighted with that. Good game and looking forward to next week.
 
Very unfortunate not to bag the win. Barcelona seemed pretty poor for a side that is leading La Liga. If we have Martial and Antony back for the 2nd leg, we'll probably win easily
 
Slightly disappointing we didn't take more chances but at the same time Barcelona did put some pressure on towards the end. Good result.
 
Great game. A little frustrated to draw, but with the chances they had in the last 10 minutes, I guess its a fair result.

Rashford continues his scoring run. Fred was really good, Case not so much. It won't be easy in the return leg, but I think without Pedro and Gavi, we should win it.
 
We’re heavy favourites to go through after that. Even half of our performance tonight should see us through, especially without Gavi and Pedri facing us.
Barca are painfully one paced
 
2-2 and I still feel hard done by. Ten Hag is the real deal.
 
Just typical 2-2 away and away goals is scrapped.

A draw was the very least united deserved. ETH won't be happy with the manner of the goals conceded and a few other decent chances to score more than 2 goals.

Looking forward to the 2nd leg which i will be in attendance
 
Battered them 2-2. We should've been up two goals before their bs equaliser.
 
Great European night ! Never thought to say that about Europa League.

The draw is fair. I am proud of the team. Looking forward to the home game.
 
Rashford MOTM hands down can't even see how you make a case for anyone else.
Responsibility for both of our goals and our defense let us down, Fred missing he's marker.
 
Fantastic performance. Unlucky not to win as I thought we were the better side.

We were all over them with the pressing.
 
We were the better team for 80% of that game. So annoying we couldn't hold on. We usually do alright away from home. It's at home we usually lose to these Spanish clubs.
 
Absolutely amazing game of football, this is what the game is about.

Our attitude and approach was sensational. This wasn't some smash and grab, no parking the bus and trying to counter. We went toe to toe with Barcelona at the Camp Nou, pressing high and playing bravely throughout. I'm delighted.

Fair result in the end.
 
Could've won!! Should've won!!

A heavyweight clash showing the Champions League clubs how to do European football properly!

I expected a heavy defeat but we were the better side.

Ref did his best to ruin the game
 
Yeah that was thoroughly enjoyable. Would have preferred a win obviously but I think 2-2 is fair (except for the missed red card—unforgivable that; what’s the explanation? It was outside the box so it can’t be reviewed as a foul? Ugh).
 
What a game. Sad we don't get this version of Fred every game. Him and Malacia brought massive energy.
