Real Madrid 2:1 Manchester United

Post-match discussion


Tue, 08 August 2017

Really proud of the fight shown by the team. Only lost to an offside goal.

And the disrespect Fellaini gets from certain people, when he always gives so much for the shirt, disgusts me.
 
It was cute to see United fighting back in the 2nd half but overall Real had more and better chances and looked the better team.
 
Good second half. Terrible first half.

Matic, Smalling and Rashford did well.
 
Pogba and Herrera were poor. Everyone else was more or less ok.
 
Not a bad performance. Could have scored three goals after their second goal. Looked twice the team when we switched too four at the back.
 
Better team won. Second half was better, Rashford/Martial should be starting over Lingard.

Pogba needs to improve if we're to be successful this season.
 
We played alright. Madrid are much better than us and it showed.
 
Our record must be dreadful against most of the European giants.
 
Peeved that their two goals stemmed from two horrible lapses in concentration.
 
They are a class above us and it showed today. Still happy with how we responded in the second half and loosing 2-1 to the best team in Europe isn't the end of the world.
 
Ok performance.

Just lack that cutting edge in attack and cb's were poor but we matched them everywhere else.
 
Real Madrid are a class above but we weren't as bad as some made out on here. Matic, Smalling, De Gea and Valencia did well. Had we buried our chances it might have been a different game. Nobody in the PL will be on this level.
 
Surprisingly, we actually probably should've taken that to extra time at the very least. Crap finishing as usual, Lukaku and Rashford at fault. Completely outclassed from 15'-55' but responded well and played well for the 2nd half. Fellaini changed the game in our favour.
 
Hate the fact we're always forced to give up on 1 half due to Mourinho's cowardice.
 
Best team we've played in six years and I thought we showed lots of character despite the gulf in class. Happy with the performance.
 
as expected. They were much better, but they are CL winners vs our Micky Mouse trophy.

Verty worrying performence from Pogba and Herrera. Lingard. Mhki and Rashford were also poor.
 
Good game. Was a lesson in game management from Real. United seem to have something about them this season and we should be able to go some distance in the champions league. Matic and Hererra need to get up to full fitness soon.

All in all, I'm glad football season is back on and things are looking good
 
Good fight and lots of positives. Matic looked really solid. Rashford's end product is infuriating at times.
 
All in all quite happy. Were outplayed at times, but also matched them for long periods. Best team we will meet all year, so looks good. Created chances enough to score three at least.

Matic was good. De Gea, Rashford too. Smalling better as the game went on. Pogba had a poor game, but he'll have one every once and again.
 
Lost against the best team in the world. Theyve been playing as a unit for years, we've been in a constant state of flux for 4 years. That result and the obvious inferiority are what I would have expected.
 
Dire, clueless, awful in defense most of the time. Had Rashford buried his chance (not that I blame him, he was still our best player in the second half and gave a lot to the team) it could've been a pleasant night.

We're still very far off the top.
 
If no one can beat the first man it doesn't matter if everyone in the squad is 7ft tall.
 
Could have been far worse. 2-1, lost to an offside goal.

They're obviously a superior team, but we played well in periods of the game and should have really equalised late on.

They're the best team in the world. Can't really complain.
 
Fair result. No one expected us to win this. We had our chances and went one for three.
 
All things considered, we need at least 2 new signings
 
Shame José went with such negative tactics at the start and by the time we actually showed some attacking intent it was too late.

Matic looked good.
 
Held our own second half. Finishing is still a bit poo though. We always seem to choose the wrong option in front of goal.
 
Real the better team, obviously. For all their huffing and puffin though, we had plenty of clear chances and a draw wouldn't look out of place after 90min.
 
We're not going to play a better team than Madrid this season, and we put up a good fight. If Rashford had finished that chance...

We started and finished the game strongly, and by no means did we disgrace ourselves.

Matic is a machine. He's going to be one of the signings of the season.

This game fills me with hope for the season ahead.
