Pretty bad to not go through from this group.

What?

 

[Glorio]

all fell apart when DVB went off

You're not wrong!!! Even though it's more about what we decided to do after he left the field

 

[Solius]

It’s crazy that the sole reason we have to play two extra games is because of that atrocious ref decision in the first game. There’s no other factors involved. Purely down to one incompetent man who we had no control over.

 

[SmashedHombre]

Thank god it’s over. May we never have to play that horrible team ever again.

 

[Anustart89]

I fecking hate Spanish teams and I fecking hate that referees seem to love them and encourage their efforts to suck the life out of every game. I'd like to think that if I was a referee with some sort of appreciation of the laws of the game then I would not like it one bit if a team was trying to cheat at every single opportunity, but apparently refs have a hard-on for teams that make their jobs more difficult.

cnuts the lot of them.

 

[hellhunter]

Very bad United game, possession of the ball was short and slow, many attacks were long balls.
1 shot on goal in the whole match.
And Real Sociedad with 7 Injured players , some of them very important.

Yeah United have no injuries whatsoever

 

[FriedClams]

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

Bullshit penalty decision has decided the group.

I would say our performances against Omonia Nicosia are what decided the group. Only beating them 1-0 at home is what bugs me the most.

 

[Chief123]

Ultimately our lack of goals cost us. If Ronaldo had scored the sitter we win.
poor 2nd half, never looked liked scoring.

Which sitter? The lob in the first half would never have stood.

It’s a shocking VAR call that has cost us.

 

[V.O.]

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

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

I think we'd beat most of them. Shaktar, Salzburg, Leverkusen, Sporting, this iteration of Ajax, all very beatable. Juve are absolute shit lately too.

Both of the Spanish teams can feck off, I don't want to have to see us play another Spanish side until stop clocks are introduced.

 

[TheRedHearted]

Not a good day from ETH and the team. Didn't really need to experiment all that much.

VDB was invisible. Eriksen was poor, and Rashford was very wasteful when he came on. Ronaldo had a chance to kill the game but fluffed it. Bruno is useless on the right.

The subs were weird and didn't make any impact.

Yep. And there’s no way Ronaldo stays on that long for me, I get he made an assist but otherwise. Could have really done with Antony tonight

 

[LARulz]

Absolutely baffling

I've said it every time but Bruno out wide is fecking pointless. Starting him there is even more stupid

Then to not get another winger on and play him there is even more stupid. VdB was absolutely pointless, even I had more involvement in the game than him

 

[Jazz]

Forgot to say congrats to Garnarcho. Pleased for the young man.

 

[LawCharltonBest]

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

Spanish teams do the same thing against us every single season

It works 100% of the time

 

[Andycoleno9]

So it is one of;
Barca, Ajax, Sporting, Bayer, Salzburg, Shaktar, Sevilla, Juve.
Tough game incoming whoever we get

 

[Rustyspider13]

Terrible second half. It was always going to be difficult to win this 2-0 but to have the entirety of the second half to score and then put on that display is shocking. I think this is the first game where EtH got it massively wrong. If Lindelof had to go off, put Maguire on. At least try to maintain the shape which gave us the first goal. When you go 3ATB you are supposed to use an extra man in midfield to dominate the ball. We did nothing of the sort. Just bewildering tactics.

But that's done now. We need to focus against Villa. A win in that game I'll forget all about this one. Until we face Ajax or Barca, that is.

 

[mav_9me]

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

Sure but I'd rather keep trying that way than this nonsense

 

[JustinC00]

Very bad United game, possession of the ball was short and slow, many attacks were long balls.
1 shot on goal in the whole match.

Jog on.

 

[Sandikan]

You can't get enough games in this cup.

Said no-one in the history of the world ever.

 

[Glorio]

It’s crazy that the sole reason we have to play two extra games is because of that atrocious ref decision in the first game. There’s no other factors involved. Purely down to one incompetent man who we had no control over.

The painful thing is there's no reckoning. No review, or responsibility taken by that ref and his mate on VAR

 

[kafta]

always felt it was too much of an ask having to win there by 2 goals. I was expecting time wasting and antics as usual.

I think the subs made us lose control completely and we lost our width.

At least we’re through and we’ll have to do it the hard way.

 

[ayushreddevil9]

If the refs did their job, we would have drawn the first game. I don't think we will have any objective refereeing this season wherever we are involved. This is happening on a regular basis and nothing will be done about it.

 

[Telsim]

Maguire up top sums up the game. No clue what I just watched. I want to forget about it. What a terrible game of football.

 

[Heinzesight]

Why a short corner there at the end there with Maguire and Ronaldo in the box and desperate for a goal?

That was the most annoying part of the match. Awful decision making second half. Are we also the only team that doesn’t send the big goalie up for a last minute corner? Can’t remember us doing it for ages.

 

[Crimson King]

Doesn't seem fair that you can win all but one game, match the top team on everything but goal difference, and still not qualify. Then, to top it off, you might have to play a team like Juventus, who only won 1 of their 6 group games in the UCL... And in a year when they've bastardised the schedule to fit in a winter WC for a sack of Qatari billions...

fecking hell I detest football sometimes. Oh well, at least we won the game. Hope we put in a better performance against Villa. Martinez, Shaw and Dalot all excellent again.

 

[Irrational.]

Thankfully Atletico have fecked up their chance of fecking us over in the next round too.

 

[Zlatanator]

These are type of games where you need a squad and we don't have one.

 

[Doracle]

Best I’ll say about that is that hopefully ETH has ruled out ever using that second half formation again.

Nice to see Garnacho score and for us to get an away win in Spain. Hopefully we can go on a really strong league run before the playoff matches now and give ourselves some options to rest players, as we have so many matches scheduled for next year.

 

[fallengt]

Another terrible performance against spanish team
I hope we draw barca next. I dont want to torture myself watching this crap

 

[Member 125352]

Rashford was really bad today

 

[GledTheRed]

I would say our performances against Omonia Nicosia are what decided the group. Only beating them 1-0 at home is what bugs me the most.

Game was a freak, we had 30 shots.

 

[Nick7]

Sure but I'd rather keep trying that way than this nonsense

I presume the manager worked on that formation with the team in the build up. He tried it, it didn’t work.

 

[Chief123]

It’s crazy that the sole reason we have to play two extra games is because of that atrocious ref decision in the first game. There’s no other factors involved. Purely down to one incompetent man who we had no control over.

Exactly, people can complain all they want about other factors but the truth is we won every game except the one the ref screwed us. Even if we drew that game it was enough.

 

[Andycoleno9]

Literally just beat 1 in Spain.

Do you feel like we won?

 

[FreakyJim]

I hope we don't get Barcelona because they'll dismantle us. What a horrible performance.

Again the old slow, unable to pass the ball United is back. Fecking hell.

 

[Red Pavan]

So it is one of;
Barca, Ajax, Sporting, Bayer, Salzburg, Shaktar, Sevilla, Juve.
Tough game incoming whoever we get

Barca or Ajax would be the toughest draws.

 

[mav_9me]

We took off a defender but with an extra guy in front we still lost any semblance of control.

And we were playing with 9 men. Bruno and Ronaldo completely anonymous

 

[HookedOnAPhelan]

Referees never learn with these Spanish teams. Shame.

Anyway, the second half wasn't good enough, plain and simple.

 

[klsv]

Not bothered about the subs. We've been shite up front the whole season with players unable to finish a wank. At least ten Hag tried something new, didn't work out this time.

 

[Jazz]

So it is one of;
Barca, Ajax, Sporting, Bayer, Salzburg, Shaktar, Sevilla, Juve.
Tough game incoming whoever we get

Feck me what a terrible list. Probably Sporting, Bayer, Bayer, Salzburg the best we can hope for....

 

[Someone]

So it is one of;
Barca, Ajax, Sporting, Bayer, Salzburg, Shaktar, Sevilla, Juve.
Tough game incoming whoever we get

Has to be Ajax.
