Good European performance my arse. We've not done anything for 55 minutes and will now be lucky to get a point. Expect defending the point as expertly as we were defending the first half goal.
It's a poor performance. We've not been particularly impressive away from home in Europe for a while but managed to grind out results for a good while (until 2011-12 we were basically perfect), this particular performance has been pretty poor to be fair.
 
Welbeck doing well after intially giving the ball away. Can we bring on someone for Valencia? He's offering nothing. Nothing in attack, and nothing in defence, either!
 
Moyes needs to learn to take a few chances to keep us on the front foot, we need some fresh creativity on the pitch, Giggs is a legend but we can't rely on him in fast paced games like this. It's like Moyes lacks faith in the other half of the squad, Nani, Kagawa for example.
 
You are justifying a yellow that he got for someone else tackle.

Not justifying, I think that was why there was a booking at all and the only reasonable explanation. The other one is the ref is mental, which isn't far out there either.
 
Come on...bring Nani on ffs. Give us a chance. We're Manchester United. Let us try and win the match.

Disagree. They're a quality side with a formidable home record and an extremely hostile atmosphere. I'd have liked some more chances ourselves, but it's not a poor performance.
 
When you sit back like that for 60 minutes, you're going to concede goals.
 
I think we have been terrible. Solid defensively for the most part but a distinct lack of cutting edge. We are Manchester United ffs!

what, we used to grind out results in tricky away games like this in a good way?
This seems exactly like so many games in recent years except Vidic messed up.
 
God no. Not Ashley Young. Please. Put that coat back on and sit down, there's a good lad.

Giggs wasn't a bad call. If you want fresh legs for the counter fair enough, bring on Hernandez for RvP or Nani for Welbeck or Valencia. Giggs as a cool experienced head in that midfield made sense.
