De gea was right, we are cursed
Uefa Youth League - last 16 - United v Borussia Dortmund
- Thread starter Adnan
- Start date
Can't believe we lost that
feck this
That was not deserved. But typical United performance.
That was bunch of shit penalties..
It's just like watching the first team. Between them,this and the women being a United fan is seriously hard work
Still, a good match, against a normally excellent academy conveyor belt, and we were robbed by the ref in injury time.
I hate penalties at this point.
Gutted for them but they will have learnt a lot from that match
Typical of everything United right there, waste loads of chances and go to shit at the end.
He missed one penalty - but our finishing was awful. We can only blame ourselves.
The one time a team actually fecking misses a few pens against us we score 1 in 4 
13 years ago today against Spurs in the league cup final.
EDIT: Actually we won one a few years ago against Rochdale. Completely forgot about that.
Probably would of missed the pen anyways
We are jinxed in shootouts
No doubt about it. There’s no other way to describe it.
In the last 1 year I have seen EL final , Euros final , Boro and now this . Can’t take this anymore

Oh well, it is a developmental game and we showed we had the better quality for a change. Literally they had one trick during the game and it was to be physical, in a few years that gets somewhat equalised.
We concede too much at this level, and when you do that, it's difficult to win even if you score two times or three. We played a good game but have some weaknesses in the team, the center backs are one and I never understand why Emeran is playing.
Result sucks and ref bottled it but performance good and some with a good chance of progressing to first team football (maybe not with us, but one or two might)
We are jinxed.
Very impressed with some of these players though. Our academy is stacked with talent.
United very unlucky to go out on penalties, Mejbtri looked cut above everyone on pitch and real first team potential.
Shoretire should never have been subbed off
For Emeran. Laughable coaching.
I am sick of taking the positives
If I never see Utd in a penalty shoot out ever again, it'll be too soon! But some of the ones we're pretty awful even at U-23 level. And then the attitude that 'pens are a lottery'...no, they are not if you are losing virtually every one!
It boils my blood when people say that, and the MUTV gang says it every time.
cnut Bamba was rolling around in our box despite being tackled cleanly
I need to know how that wasn't a penalty on Charlie McNeill late on? Don't know what the referee saw, plus what a horrid set of penalties, there's some fundamental problem at this club in regards to penalties, when was the last time we won a shootout?
You think? It's yet another loss for the club whether it's the Under 19s, the women or the first team losing becomes a habit and we are not showing any signs of changing that habit
Disappointing to lose that after controlling the game for large periods. A clear cut penalty not given by the referee as well, which is even more dissapointing to see.
But our midfield controlled the game in and out of possession. Mejbri was absolutely majestic at times and his ability to create space and open up passing angles, whilst maintaining poise on the ball is truly wonderful to watch. He was a absolute class act and the Dortmund fans have not taken well to him, which is always a good sign.
I think Bynoe Gittens also showed glimpses of his potential and along with Coulibaly, I think both have a good chance of progressing into the Dortmund first team and potentially excelling.

Behave. What a dumb thing to say after an excellent performance.
I was really impressed by what I saw. Usually you’ve one or two shining lights at this level and a bunch of also rans but this team is absolutely stacked with very talented players. So many classy footballers. We were by far the better team tonight. Great stuff.
Two further thought. Penalty shoot-outs can get fecked. And is there any competition we haven’t been fecked over by absolutely dreadful refereeing decisions this season?!?

Considering that we couldn't score a penalty to save our lives, I don't think it would have mattered really.
One thing that makes me hopefull is that both ETH and Poch love integrating youth players, so a lot of these lads are going to get their chance in the first team.
Aw feck. Just seeing this now. Last chance In this comp for quite a few of them. Pity.
These are kids and most definitely will learn from the experience. The key for me is that we dominated Dortmund in every aspect and can see at least 4 or 5 of the players having a great chance of progressing to our first team- which is ultimately more important than a one off freak result!
