Forget the game and move on. 3 points is all that matters.

How many times do people have to say this before they realise its more than getting 3 points? We can dominate all we want but if we don't have a decent goal scorer then we won't be in the mix for anything which is why we won't be moving on anywhere anytime soon.

34 shots vs 3
13 on target vs 1
78% possession vs 22%
13 corners to 1
742 passes vs 213

1-0

LVG would be proud

 

[SmashedHombre]

They played out of their skin didn't they. Wonder if they will do the same against Sociedad.

 

[Turnip]

I actually feel sorry for them.

 

[ElectroManiac]

Does it not go on head to head between the two teams?

My though was it will be who has the better goal difference on the group. In UEFA competitions hasn't always been like this in group stage?

 

[V.O.]

I'm still mad at that shocking penalty decision against Sociedad. We didn't deserve to lose that game. And now we might be looking at facing a Barca, Juve or Atletico in the next round because of it

To be fair, I'd rather play current Juve than most teams in the Europa knockouts. They've looked properly shite for a good while now.

 

[Kaos]

We need a big boy up front. Doesn't need to be fast. Just big and physical.

Like Lukaku then?

 

[suheilsworld]

Still in our hands to go top of the group. I’ll take that!

 

[Who's Kissing Cameras?]

How does the head to head with us and Sociedad play out?

We have to beat by two clear goals. Or if we win 1-0, then we have to smash their Goal Difference.

 

[V.O.]

LVG would be proud

Did we have 34 shots in a season under LVG?

How does the head to head with us and Sociedad play out?

We lost 1-0, we need something better than 1-0 (2-0, 2-1, 3-2, etc).

[Quinze]

We are still dreadful against the low block. Nothing has changed.

 

[saivet]

Their keeper is absolutely buzzing. Got to be happy for him.

 

[Member 125288]

Real Socieda beat Sherif 3-0. We need to score a lot of goals agains Sherif or even if we beat Sociedad on the last game they will go trough with a better goal difference

No, it’s between the two teams in the first instance, so if we score 2 or more and win we go through with better gd vs them, or more away goals v them if we win by one, unless we win 1-0 and then it comes down to results, goal difference etc v the rest of the group.

 

[Berbasbullet]

Their keeper is absolutely buzzing. Got to be happy for him.

Love his big smile

 

[Robertd0803]

Get in there.

Also Jesus Christ that was ridiculous. The odds on McTominay being the only scorer and it to finish 1-0 must have been astronomical.

 

[Red the Bear]

They played out of their skin didn't they. Wonder if they will do the same against Sociedad.

No they will get smashed 5_0

 

[Slevs]

DDG, Lindelof, Martinez, Malacia, and Shaw were all good

Dalot played his usual customary hospital pass and offered little

Fernandes is genuinely the worst nb 10 I've seen in recent memory

Ronaldo can't cover any little space anymore much less chase passes/crosses

Antony had a meh game, one to forget

Casemiro was good

Fred pointless as usual, can't defend can't attack, just runs

Rashford fired up but went missing later

Sancho was good, hopefully he'll get better as he follows a good cameo with a forgettable performance
McTominay, Eriksen nuff said

 

[bucky]

That was fun.

 

[Telsim]

Made a meal of out it once again. Why does this keep happening? I just want us to batter someone at least once. Please.

 

[Mickeza]

Their keeper is absolutely buzzing. Got to be happy for him.

What a legend. Like Scholes said he was MOTM and United won - great night

 

[Kaos]

To be fair, I'd rather play current Juve than most teams in the Europa knockouts. They've looked properly shite for a good while now.

We really need to be trying to win this competition if we want a good chance at CL football next season. Playing a team like Juve this early in the competition isn't conducive to that, irrespective of how shite they've been. They've still got the players to hurt us. Trust me I'd rather face some farmers until the quarters at least.

I see. I still hope we put a few trough Sherif and increase our goal difference just in case we beat Sociedad only 1-0

 

[dave2528]

Game raising bastards, helped on by the fact that we really need a proper CF, stabbed in the heart at the 11th hour.

McT goes from donkey to goat in about 180 seconds.

You love to see it.

 

[I'm David Moyes damnit]

Their keeper is so wholesome.

 

[Jazz]

Praise the Lord Scott showed the forwards where the fecking the goal was. All this messing around from our forwards really pissed me off. Making everything so fecking difficult.

Otherwise, I hate the fact we're still behind Real Sociedad because of this new shit format. Why should second place have to play against one of the CL rejects? Why couldn't they just leave it alone? What's the point of that? And if we can't compose ourselves in front of goal I fear we won't be able to score enough to top the group

 

[Member 125288]

OK, thank you..

No worries, might have got gf and away goals the wrong way round, but you get the gist.

 

[NewUser777]

Famous last words. “He looked lively”

 

[pascell]

Too slow and ponderous with the ball, we really, really lack a cutting edge and ruthlessness infront of goal and its going to cost us.

 

[CloneMC16]

That was one of the weirdest games I've ever seen.

Happy for their keeper. Glad he got a chance to play at OT and did really well.

 

[ElectroManiac]

No, it’s between the two teams in the first instance, so if we score 2 or more and win we go through with better gd vs them, or more away goals v them if we win by one, unless we win 1-0 and then it comes down to results, goal difference etc v the rest of the group.

Yeah I just saw that. Still we need to increase our goal difference just in case

 

[Jules_T]

Does it not go on head to head between the two teams?

Yep, they beat us 1-0 we need to do better than that to go through.

 

[One Night Only]

Was nice to get an early goal to settle the nerves and control the game from then on.

 

[Fts 74]

No gif for the goal?

 

[dave2528]

34 shots vs 3
13 on target vs 1
78% possession vs 22%
13 corners to 1
742 passes vs 213

1-0

Madness

Well, they're going to say it until we're in a transfer window and that problem can actually be addressed.

 

[cj_sparky]

We won...eventually. Thank god.

 

[#07]

Basically every shot we had was side footed straight down the middle. There were a couple of curlers and the Casemiro blasted that I give their keeper credit for. The rest was just shocking finishing from our lads. Lucky to win. Need to be much better in front of goal.

 

[Jazz]

Too slow and ponderous with the ball, we really, really lack a cutting edge and ruthlessness infront of goal and its going to cost us.

I thought we were fairly ok playing overall. It's the lack of goals from our forwards. Don't United use sports psychologists? Serious question because there is no way we shouldn't have several goals from this game. It definitely is (1) attitude (2) mental, in my humble opinion.

 

[BestRed]

Well thank fook for that!!! Though hopefully all the missed opportunities tonight don't come back to bite us if the group comes down to goal difference.
