Horrible game from us really. They were better, though we got the win anyway. Ultimately, it is what it is. An extra 2 matches. Not a huge deal. We draw who we draw and we'll see how it goes. We are horrible against spanish sides. I don't get it.

 

[Swedish_Plumber]

Weird tactics.

Poor finishing cost us top spot in the games at OT.

 

[SuperiorXI]

The second half was basically a continuation of the ref blowing every time we went near one of their players. What happened to letting the game flow?

 

[Chief123]

Change of formation broke us. We looked so disjointed after that.

 

[RedDevilRoshi]

We created feck all in that 2nd half. Begs the question wtf got said at HT?

 

[Meller]

Never want to play Sociedad ever again, such a boring team.

 

[Bobski]

Don't care about finishing second, at least we might get a game worth watching, unlike that garbage tonight.

 

[CM]

Sociedad fortunate to go through as group winners. Annoying it was decided by a dodgy penalty but I'd still fancy us against most of the Champions League dropouts.

 

[Dr. Dwayne]

Hard to play football when one side is intent on rolling around on the pitch.

 

[Rodgerzzz]

I wish Ronaldo would hold a fecking ball up instead of chesting it down for thin air to run onto

 

[Ted Lasso]

Impossible to play against 11 players that care more about the smell of the grass than winning. Doesn’t help that the ref was desperate to stick a blue and white top on either.

Seems a very common theme for Spanish sides. Can't recall too many matches where play acting hasn't been a part of their strategy.

 

[Shane88]

Lump it to Maguire. God help us if that is what's in store for us when we face adversity this season.

 

[diarm]

First time I've felt pissed off at Ten Hag.

Thick, unambitious, cowardly tactics. Had he just brought Fred or McTominay on for Donny and kept the shape as was, we'd have scored again.

Aside from that, something needs to be done about the antics of Spanish teams and how they are reffed. What we watched there isn't football and it's every single time against these sides.

 

[Nick7]

I can't believe what I watched today. Wtf? Wtf was ETH thinking?

If only we played our usual way. Sigh.

We did for 55 minutes and it didn’t look like we were getting a second with that either.

 

[Harry190]

Confident that we're better than all those teams that finished 3rd in the Champion's League. Bring it on.

 

[kaku06]

Eriksen was awful. Bruno was standard Bruno.

 

[Orton]

We didn’t even try and play a few passes in the 2nd half. Our composure is still questionable to say the least and what the feck was Rashford doing when he came on? Sociedad’s Cnuty tactics didn’t help the flow of the game but we just kept giving the ball back to them with our dire long balls all half.

oh and we are still the worst team in the world at throw ins…

 

[Chief123]

Weird tactics.

Poor finishing cost us top spot in the games at OT.

Ultimately a shocking ref/VaR call in the first game cost us top spot in the group.

 

[Look-a-Hill]

Wins a win. No need to be afraid of drawing a tough team. Worse case scenario (debatably) is we're no longer in the Europa League

 

[GledTheRed]

Good win against a rancid boring set of cnuts in their cup final.

Bullshit penalty decision has decided the group.

 

[Kinky Melinky]

United play it out from defence, United misplace a pass in midfield giving it back to Real Sociedad who attack us resulting in United playing it out from defence...and on, and on, and on and on.

 

[12OunceEpilogue]

Like how much better we look at the back, goal threat is at a real premium. Our shape and tactics became farcical in the second half.

 

[Slevs]

Sociedad's play acting and time wasting is world class.

 

[Globule]

Truly awful performance. The goal was the only moment of quality we produced all game. Misplaced passes, dwelling on the ball, our midfield being easily bypassed, our attack being non-existent. And then we finish it off with our rendition of 90s Wimbledon.

 

[VidaRed]

That's why we didn't win the group. Shite reffing. Just like this match.

Scandalous decision.

 

[Heinzesight]

Not impressed with Maguire up top but then having a corner in the last minute and we play it short then play it around at the back. Jesus fecking wept. Really pathetic that and summed up the shitness of the performance tonight and mess of a second half.

Ref was a cnut and their players were infuriating going down every second.

Didn’t deserve a second goal and we looked utter shite trying to pass it let alone create a chance.

 

[DevilRed]

No wonder la liga is dying. Which actual fan of football would want to watch that shit week in week out? Just a bunch of shitc**ts rolling around on the floor at the slightest touch.

the premier league teams will be so far ahead financially in the next decade or so. It’s no surprise their top teams are crying for a super league because that’s the only way they will find the finances to compete.

 

[vangagal]

I'm fuming, they are there for taking but we didnt capitalize it. Garbage 2nd half

 

[hellhunter]

No idea what I've just witnessed

 

[I’m loving my life]

Thanks to this bunch of cnuts time wasting and generally being a bunch of cnuts, we will have to play another bunch of cnuts like Barcelona

 

[Real Name]

The second half was basically a continuation of the ref blowing every time we went near one of their players. What happened to letting the game flow?

Truly horrible refereeing, went right into their hands.

 

[cyberman]

Lump it to Maguire. God help us if that is what's in store for us when we face adversity this season.

We have faced adversity and we haven’t done that?

 

[Orange Tree]

Let's hope we avoid Sevilla and Barcelona.

We don't have a good record against spanish teams and most of the time it's a shit show.

 

[bond19821982]

You have Maguire, Ronaldo, Casemiro and Scot in the box and we pass it sideways.

Our story of the day !

 

[Garethw]

That was a good away win today. Our absolutely diabolical attacking play in the other games is what cost us.

 

[r1z3mu]

Positive - we won.
Negative - everything else

 

[Quagmire Maguire]

Questionable tactics and substitutions from ETH tonight compounded by the stupidity of our players not to be able to hit crosses early or without hitting the first man or even just punting the ball long when Maguire was thrown up top.

 

[Hugh Jass]

Good win but the ball was out of play about half that second half. Sociedad just time wasting nonstop like all the spanish teams do.

Having said that, very poor second half by us. Needed more control.

 

[Gorse Hill Red]

Awful messy 2nd half after playing well in the first. Won’t be going to the last 16 if we play like that again.

 

[Irwin99]

What's the easiest draw we could get next round?

Positives are that we did win and that goal was a beauty
