Avoiding the "playoff round" or whatever it's called is massive considering how paper thin our squad
 
Absolute pants. Shocking performance against a bang average team who were forced to play some youngsters. We have no notion about creating goals. Faffing about after being gifted a goal. One goal is never enough as we're guaranteed to mess up royally.
 
Enjoyed that game, I thought we played decent, created plenty of chances and didn’t give much away.

Just need to start taking chances.
 
Should've been about 6-1, but anyway. Win is what matters, and just need to basically not lose away to FCSB and we'll be top 8 and skip the next round.

A striker who can put the ball in the net would make a world of difference to us. We know this is a constant problem, and it doesn't help when the ref fecks you too.
 
I mean, we won.

Had a lot of chances, Ugarte header, Maguire header, Bruno and Garnacho had about 5 between them all decent, Amad trying to dribble their entire team was an interesting late game tactic.

Classy goal to win it, need more of those kinds of balls from Licha
 
Wasn't a hard watch like against Soton and Brighton, and we deserved to win, but it was very uninspiring
 
Comfortable 3-1 win. Should've been more comfortable and better sides have and will punish us for not taking chances, but there was good in that performance before the changes.
 
most of their chances were speculative long rangers or came from our errors. We made it very easy for a very poor and weak Rangers side. Regardless, I can moonwalk into work tomorrow and give them all smugness
 
Fully Deserved the win. Controlled the game and should have scored more.
Some good performances. Bruno fantastic, Garnacho lively. I thought Malacia did very well when he came on.

We are crying out for a new striker.
 
If you combined the absolute best parts of Hojlund and Zirkzee you'd get a player who might become as good as Chris Wood.

Get in there! Don’t care how we done, just win especially against that horrible sectarian mob. Absolute heartbreak for them for losing that undeserved point at the death
 
Good win and should secure our qualifcation via top 8. However, I just can't see us getting a result v/s Fulham. Rangers are a poor team and we really should have won by 3 to 4 goals..
 
Got away with it.

Too casual and finishing was poor. Really sloppy passing and much improvement needed. Felt really stilted and slow.

Collyer, few wobbles but made a good account of himself. Zirkzee anonymous, garnacho decent.

Really don’t understand Malacia as a United player, he concerns me, strange decisions and runs into needless positions creating big gaps at the back, don’t rate the guy.

6/10 performance for the lads overall. Happy to get the win but a lot to work on.
 
If you combined the best parts of Hojlund and Zirkzee you'd get a player who might reach the level of Chris Wood.

I think they share the 1 brain, unfortunately only 1 of them is allowed it at a time, and usually it's the 1 who's on the bench.
 
You know, it does feel.like the Gods are against us a bit at the moment. Another horrible ref decision, a wonder goal against us from a blue sky, a bus load of chances missed...
It's just keep the heads down, work hard, try to grind it out and hope for sunnier days ahead.
 
How tf are we supposed to win the EL playing like this ?
We can easily win it by playing like this, we just have to finish the million chances more often than we currently do (and not get fecked by the refs for no reason)
