We would almost certainly have drawn them in the next round! I am so happy Simeone "Cholo'd" himself to the bottom of their group/Thankfully Atletico have fecked up their chance of fecking us over in the next round too.
Like under Jose, we could possibly shithouse our way to 1-0 wins all the way to win the league. Dont really think we need to be prolific. Not conceding goals is far more important.We can't win the Europa League with these forwards in the squad. Not enough goals in us.
The trouble is that in reality the teams winning the league for the most part are the teams with the best goal difference and end up being a team that has scored the most number of goals or very close to it. The four teams above us in the league all have healthy positive goal differences and its a very very very rare thing for a team to win the league with an even or only just over even goal difference. We need more goals. We need to be more prolificLike under Jose, we could possibly shithouse our way to 1-0 wins all the way to win the league. Dont really think we need to be prolific.

United and Sociedad both scored 9 goals against Sheriff and Ommonia. It was conceding one more goal that proved the difference.
Goal difference wouldn't have come into it had the game against Sociedad in Old Trafford had finished 0-0 like it should have with clued in match officials.

from what I heard, Antony indeed injured and sancho illThe real group standings:
W. D. L. pts
Utd. 5. 1 0. 16
Soc. 4. 1. 1. 13
Sh Tir. 2. 4. 6
Nicosia. 0. 0. 6. 0
Uefa, mother fecking awful officiating. A horrendous, probably corrupt official in the first match and an obviously completely wrong handball call. The second match v Sociodad, the officiating was equally bad, just incompetent all the way around.
Ronaldo is done. Cooked. He has no more confidence.
Ten Hag really fecked up the subs. Not taking Sancho and Antony (injured?) with a bunch of youngsters on the bench. Either go for and play your first 11 with a stacked bench or play the kids. Now you have an exhausted squad that need to recover for the weekend match. I really rate Ten Hag, but he was out coached in this match. Moving to a back 3 didn’t work and the Maguire thing was a disaster. Rashford as a 10 doesn’t work. Manager 3 out of 10 for me.
I never thought I'd see the day Ronaldo lacked confidence. I do think of he could get a couple of wonder goals he might still be good enough for the rest of the season.The real group standings:

Have to admit I hadn't seen they'd managed that! I mean that was actually the easiest looking group in the draw - and possibly one of the softest of all timeWe would almost certainly have drawn them in the next round! I am so happy Simeone "Cholo'd" himself to the bottom of their group/
Ronaldo was the worst player on the pitch by a mile.Something wrong with our midfield in 2nd half, we can’t seem to be able to string a few pass together. Firs half was good though.
Why play Maguire as striker though? It looks like the weirdest decision ever made by ETH, and it clearly didn’t work.
Eriksen is having a mare. Rashford is trying to do everything by himself but end up running into defenders leg every time.
Happy with Garnancho debut good.
Antony had a knock before last game, right?from what I heard, Antony indeed injured and sancho ill
This is probably beyond my knowledge of the game to prove but yesterday I was wondering the same thing and some posters told me that it's because of Ronaldo. Sounds about right you simply can't deny the fact we've never been able to dominate against anyone with him playing unless it's some minor sides like Ominia or Sheriff.Performance-wise; if West Ham was the first time in a while where we looked less good than the previous game, this was a full-fledged regression to where we were 6 weeks ago - defensively solid, but unable to dominate the game or control the midfield and no sustained offensive game at all. You got the feeling RS got the game where they wanted it. Is tiredness setting in?
Erm I would say Eriksen and VDB is clearly the worst, at least he has made a good assist and work hard for the team.Ronaldo was the worst player on the pitch by a mile.

Nice assist yeah but if working hard for the team means arguing with the ref and laughing ironically yeah he worked really hard.Erm I would say Eriksen and VDB is clearly the worst, at least he has made a good assist and work hard for the team.
He did chase back the ball couple of times, and works harder than VDB. Anyway I am not saying he is good, but there are players who are clearly even worst.Nice assist yeah but if working hard for the team means arguing with the ref and laughing ironically yeah he worked really hard.
DVB works hard too, he runs a lot, it's just he's invisible.He did chase back the ball couple of times, and works harder than VDB. Anyway I am not saying he is good, but there are players who are clearly even worst.

Usually I would agree with you but due to the world cup, our squad and fixture congestion I think playing Thursday Nights then again on Sunday will eventually hurt any team over the course of the season. Unless you have City's squad.The league and Europa should be priorities no?
The EL is more glamorous than either domestic cup and the winner qualifies directly for the CL, unlike the fa or league cups.
Let's hope so - no doubt they'll suddenly turn into the best defensive team in the PL...Antony had a knock before last game, right?
Should be available for Villa I guess.
I'd hoped McNeil would get a look in if, as happened, we needed a second goal. Was he out injured? Other than him, no goal-scorers for ETH to pick from. I presume the wind blew again so Martial got injured...United's performance last night was bit like the 'curates' egg', good in parts, but overall, not satisfactory!
At the start it looked like ETH was saving some players for this weekend, with DVB in the team, presumably instead of Rashford. Fair enough, but what position was Donny playing, a 10, or a shadow 9, he got a few good touches in but basically, he was a no show?
Good goal (and assist) from Garnacho/CR, but we didn't really 'squeeze' hard enough when we had the chance, and they always looked capable until they got to the edge of our box. Always thought, in our present position, beating them by 2 goals on their own pitch was a bit too much of a stretch, but once we went a goal up fairly early in the game, it did become 'doable'.
Somehow though our performance overall became mundane and the 'go for it spirit 'only registered via the performance of Garnacho.
Apart from Rashford's inclusion, don't know what any of ETH's substitutions were about... and neither it seemed did the players?
They have Emery in charge. Hopefully he's still adapting.Let's hope so - no doubt they'll suddenly turn into the best defensive team in the PL...

I don’t want to point finger at anyone, but we lost all our chances when EtH subbed off Lindelof. There was no balance in the team with Dalot, Martinez and Shaw at the back, maybe too much midfielders.
Couldn’t believe my eyes when Maguire came in as a target man for long balls. Would rather see Elanga or Pellistri at that point.
Even though we have to play one of the “big teams” in play-off I’m confident of coming through.
