Real Madrid vs Manchester United

Should have been 0-1. Their goal came after the ball went out of play and should have been a throw in to us. fecking hell!!
 
Good scoreline but we've rode our luck.

Simply aren't good.enough to control the midfield. Real could easily score a couple more here.
 
Good half. Two teams that are good enough to play but not good enough to stop the other team playing. A proper cup final.

And Danny scored, which counts double (as he's a Manc).
 
The left side needs something changed there, start doubling up more, change Rafael, do anything at all because Real are sending most of their attacking down the left.
 
Özil and Di María magnificent. Ronaldo is soo deadly off the ball, hasn't done much when he's had it mind you.
 
Away goal sorted.

Getting another will be extremely difficult, but it would be incredible to take two away goals back to Old Trafford.

I'm scared Rafael/Van Persie will get themselves sent off though.
 
I miss Cleverley and I think it's insanity not to have him on the field. We need more possession!
 
They battered us after their goal, thought we were going to concede a dozen! Good strength to get through that period to half time, let's grab another now!
 
I've seen enough of us going forward to feel happy we can score again.
 
Carrick?!? MIA or what, blown off the park, only 18 passes. Jones was not much better but at least he put himself about. I would take Rafa off, move Jones to RB and bring Clev on.
 
Pulsating half of football.

They look like scoring every time they go forward. Our midfield and defence needs to do better to close them down quicker. Ozil and Ronaldo have been very good.

We look good going forward ourselves but haven't kept possession well enough. Rafael needs to be careful, he also needs a bit more help from Rooney/Welbeck. De Gea has been very good.
 
This is one of those games where whenever we have the ball it looks like there are 100 hundred opposition players on the pitch and not a single inch for us to move in.
 
Close game. Madrid making much better use of their possession, their movement is amazing. We are failing to make use of the ball when we have it. Need to get Rafael off, he is having a nightmare and his head has dropped. Jones doing well.
 
I know you might think you've been dominated at times, its still an excellent half for you guys. The away goal was important, its happened, half way to a great result for you guys!

Think Rafa would be a concern though!
 
Long 45 minutes coming up if it continues like this. They scare me everytime they go forward. Their keeper and defence looks dodgy but we're not seeing enough of the ball to test them. Jones is offering nothing for me, they're going through our midfield anyway so might as well bring on someone who can pass the ball like Cleverley.
 
Real Madrid's pressure is just too much for our team.Really relieve that it's only 1-1 because they have dominated possession and have created opportunities thanks to Ozil/Coentrao
 
Phew, we survived the half.

We've done well but need to improve a lot more with our possession play. Our team is working hard but we need to get some control. Very little is sticking in attacking areas and we're not taking enough advantage of opportunities to trouble them. Van Persie, Rooney and Kagawa haven't showed enough yet.

Oh and no more shots for Ronaldo.
 
Wow! What a half. So many chances for them to score. Rooney seems a little out of it though. I think Jones just needs to go right back and either Anderson or Cleverley for Rafael.
 
They look a level above us. Kagawa a passenger, Jones is fairly lost. Rafael is getting run ragged. Evans looks scared shitless.

I pretty much never say this at half time but Fergie needs to change something.
 
Away goal sorted.

Getting another will be extremely difficult, but it would be incredible to take two away goals back to Old Trafford.

I'm scared Rafael/Van Persie will get themselves sent off though.

Likewise. Scared shitless for Rafael.

Anyone have any idea who's on our bench?
