How did we play?

Until their lucky penalty we played okay and were best. After the penalty Sociedad was best.

 

[Gaidal]

We are still so so poor. Even the goal is just a weak shot straight in the middle, the gk was just as shit as us.

De ligt pretty much the only one I don't hate in this team

 

[siw2007]

An ok result away from home, but feel that we should have won that. We had them, we had the lead and were pushing for a 2nd, they weren’t really hurting us and then they get a lucky penalty which changes the game. It’s another failure to take our chances and to fully control the game.

 

[Smores]

We should have won that, played well for most of the game. So many players need a rest though.

 

[JJ12]

Thought we played decent for our standard. In all honesty 2 very poor teams.

 

[Livewire1974]

We have improved, slightly. Still awful in the final third.

 

[Reditus]

Probably one of our best performances so far under Amorim

Should have won it comfortably

 

[Crimson King]

Ref changed the momentum in the second half.

Should have made our pressure between the goals count.

Ultimate, pissed off

 

[Stig]

Totally uninspiring.

 

[acnumber9]

Well that fecking shit.

Not confident for the return leg.

Why? They were atrocious.

 

[Dr. Dwayne]

Not the worst result. Think we can beat them comfortably at Old Trafford.

 

[Godfather]

Watching Dorgu today really depressed me. If this is all our scouts can come up with than lord help us.

 

[Ronaldo's ego]

As I predicted they gave us too much respect but unfortunately we couldn’t capitalise and they eventually showed some spark, luckily for us after 70 mins. Given how we have a tendency to shit the bed at OT this is not a good result and the 2nd leg is a genuine 50/50 for me.

 

[Tosicsleftpeg]

Dorgu, Garnacho and Dalot were absolutely dreadful.

 

[FrankDrebin]

Poor match from two poor sides. Would have taken a draw beforehand though.

 

[DavidDeSchmikes]

maybe it was fatigue, but it was concerning how we lost our way after the penalty. Sociedad weren't doing that much prior to that. Still look tepid at front and some of the decision making is erratic. Pleased for Zirkzee, another good game for De Ligt. Sociedad are there for the taking imo.

A full fit Man Utd team wins tonight

 

[Blood Mage]

We don't have the goals in us to put away teams and we don't have the legs to hold on to 1-0 leads.

 

[Rustyspider13]

Standard Europe tie against Spanish opposition. Missed chances, terrible officiating and constant playacting. But ultimately the tie is in our hands. As long as we play the second leg without any more injuries, we should be going through.

 

[MonkeysMagic]

Horrendous finishing from Garnacho cost us this game. I know he's young but you can't call yourself a professional footballer if you can't hit the target from 5 and then 7 yards under no pressure.

 

[criticalanalysis]

Case made about 10 misplaced passes so get him off that list

To be fair my bar is low. I thought he was defensively decent and worked hard in the middle. Some good switches of play, some good passing (look at his involvement for the goal) and some poor.

 

[RedDevilRoshi]

I said at the start that I would take a draw & I am glad that we have achieved that. Just need to do the business back at OT now to progress but I know that is more easier said than done with this team.

 

[Gordon S]

Seen worse. We`ve struggled for years against Spanish teams

 

[Heinzesight]

Up until the penalty we were in control and should’ve really have been a few up with even average decision making.

We are so brain dead in the final third though. What gets me is the amount of duels and headers we lose and if we do win a header we aimlessly head it to the opposition.

Confident we beat them at OT.

 

[Shane88]

Shit megaphone "fans", shit Poznan, shit Eurodance celebration music, shit diving cnut players. Sociedad are a shit club.

 

[redom]

They didn't look like scoring until they were gifted the pen, that gave them a shot in the arm and then Becker coming on and putting in some good crosses meant they could've nicked it in the end.

On our end we did ok for periods of the game without ever really doing anything with any real quality. We should be confident of beating them at home but who the feck knows with this team.

 

[Ayoba]

Missed the game, caught the end on 5Live and they said we played well. Interesting to see some of the comments on here

 

[Stig]

Where has the post match player rating thing gone ?

 

[aeh1991]

We supposedly brought Onana in for his build up play. I can swear his long balls always ended up in a counter attack.

Diogo "Mr. kill the rythm" Dalot annoys me game after game.

And lastly, Hojlund should go back to Denmark as he's never gonna score in a top 10 league again if he continues to play like that.

Abysmal display of those three.

Kudos to Casemiro who for once gave an effort.

 

[NotoriousISSY]

If that’s the level of the Europa League then United are worse than I ever dreamed of.

Two awful teams, with shoutouts to Dalot, Dorgu and Garnacho for some serious stinkers.

 

[Godfather]

They were there for the taking but we are so fecking crap at the moment. Our forwards suck. Except for Zirkzee today who was decent.
And my God what have our scouts seen in Dorgu? Might be a decent athlete but he looks totally awkward on the ball. We severely lack players with proper technical ability

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

I thought we were fairly decent up until we conceded, controlling the game well. However, once they scored, we struggled to pose any real threat. That said, I’d expect us to have too much for them at Old Trafford.

 

[svn]

Barcelona took this Sociedad team apart at the weekend, in the end they looked liklier to win.

Sociedad also beat them at home. But that doesn't align with your whining does it?

 

[NotoriousISSY]

We supposedly brought Onana in for his build up play. I can swear his long balls always ended up in a counter attack.

Diogo "Mr. kill the rythm" Dalot annoys me game after game.

And lastly, Hojlund should go back to Norway as he's never gonna score in a top 10 league again if he continues to play like that.

Abysmal display of those three.

Kudos to Casemiro who for once gave an effort.

Whoops.

 

[Cutch]

Some of you have no idea how momentum can be powerful in football. Just completely ignoring context and thinking the team that were utterly toothless for 70 minutes would be able to play like that in the return.

You need to consider how atrocious and fearful we are at home though. Tonight was a great chance for us to put the tie almost to bed, we're playing much better away from home

 

[Fts 74]

It wasn't the worst performance, should've won it by 2 or 3 really, but although I felt Bruno was a little unlucky with the penalty it was always gonna be given in Europe.

Hopefully we can progress next week.

 

[edgecutter]

Missed the game, caught the end on 5Live and they said we played well. Interesting to see some of the comments on here

Up till the pen we looked like adding to our tally and then it went to complete shite. Could easily have lost that game after not giving them a sniff all game.

 

[tomaldinho1]

To be fair my bar is low. I thought he was defensively decent and worked hard in the middle. Some good switches of play, some good passing (look at his involvement for the goal) and some poor.

He was better than usual, that is for sure - the pass that still annoys me was on the break when Dorgu was off and he delayed it so long, then just booted it out

 

[Red & White]

Should’ve been a comfortable win, but we managed to snatch a draw from the jaws of victory. Soft penalty and they weren’t scoring without that. Big drop in quality after the pen from us. Disappointed after a United game, so nothing new there.

 

[red_de_pologne]

not a bad result, we're favourites for the second leg, wish the Arsenal game didn't exist

 

[engie92]

This should be easy win... like 1:3
Dalot, Garnacho absolutely dreadful...If we could bring 2 people from away fans sector, they would probably played better.
