EL L Europa League Round of 32 1st Leg

Midtjylland 2:1 Manchester United

Post-match discussion


Thu, 18 February 2016

Carrick looks completely lost for words post-match interview, and he was our captain tonight.
 
Why do I feel like I've seen this Carrick interview several times before?
 
You think we can get 1-0 against these guys?
No I don't. I think they will definitely score at Old Trafford.

It's like we are in a parallel universe having these kind of discussions.

In a bizzare way it's kind of fun as its a totally new experience for most United fans. Reminds me of the days in the CUP winners cup under big fat Ron.

How from we have fallen. Bloody hell
 
Hopefully people will stop going on about herrera being played in midfield now. Nowhere near good enough. Most of them aren't to be fair.
 
So many of our players need to be shipped out in the summer. As bad as Louis is, some of the players we have should be nowhere near our team if we want to compete for trophies.
 
I would say they are bench players, but that is where our transfer policy was a shambles this season. They needed to buy more quality and apart from Martial bought more bench players. I warned about McNair playing and feel sorry for Love as but for injuries he wouldn't be near the first team. If Jose does come in and can get in that quality, then we will have a good first team and a good bench. The kids are either not good enough or nowhere near ready.

Bench players at the very best though.
 
Can not believe any player can look in the mirror and say they were up for it today.

That was the worst performance for a long long time. Just no effort to actually win the ball never mind the game. Absolutely shocking.

Same players letting the side down game after game. No composure, No effort, No desire.

The sad truth. This squad needs so much work. Unbelievable. All this after splashing cash like idiots.
 
I'd like to see Sisqo up against a better team.
We have a habit of making crap teams/players look like World beaters.

This is true. Remember that MK Dons lad we made look like the second coming of O' Phenomino
 
On an unrelated note, I like Trevor Francis as a pundit.
 
Carrick looks like he's had all the belief sucked out of him and he's an experienced player.

I quoted LvG this morning saying such negative things - it must transmit (we used to slate Moyes for it)

feck injuries - it took this Danish mob 30 minutes to realise how bad we are!
 
Just waiting for van Gaal to tell us how much credit we need to give the Danes for being well organised and motivated. Just like the surprise he got at the weekend when a team managed by Sam feckin Allardyce was aggressive and direct. Tomorrow, I'll look forward to hearing Chris Smalling tell us how the players "will learn from this". And Carrick sharing us how much they're "hurt and frustrated". Bollocks.
 
We'll still go through, but heavens above - that was dire.

Some perspective though, we were awful the last time we were in the EL and that was under SAF.
 
I feel sorry for their players - for some of them it might be their only chance to play against a team like Manchester United. And they came up against a bunch of absolute frauds. Yes, they can say they played and beat Manchester United but there's a cheapness to it, this is the worst United team in 30 years.
 
As much as LVG needs to leave, a good half a dozen of the players need shipping out as well. Sick and tired of the same shit every week.

As for the senior players week after week having to come out and say "we weren't good enough".. Time they stood up and be counted.

I think he has and that fact has made him play his age. Confidence can knock years off your age.
 
Those players minus the goalkeeper should all be ashamed of themselves. Can someone stick them all in a room and make them watch the history of this club? Our first team is the weakest it's been for years, where is the return for the investment? Where is the investment? The squad Fergie left was far superior to this nonsense. McNair, Mata and Herrera need to be sold.
 
i was thinking that a blue blazer would be a bit OTT as i'm going to a beach resort next week so i'm bringing just a nice half zip pullover. it's because we will be taking off and coming back in cold weather.
 
Why are you all so negative? You can find so many positives if you want! On the top of my head:

1. We just need 1-0 at home. Hard, I know... but feasible. Yes, we can!
2. I had a meeting today and couldn't watch the game. So lucky!

You can add your own! Let's make this thread positive!
 
I cant even put this on the players today, this one falls on LvG's head. So many players cant be this bad all in one match

I took a wonderful dump this afternoon.
