Nice move Ole. Substitute your only winger and play with only central midfielders. Hopefully he’ll correct it at halftime.

And Wan-Bissaka, as I said before the match started, why is he even playing in this game?

 

[londonredmaniac]

AWB. Utterly brainless

 

[Anustart89]

AWB has never been sent off for us…

I’m not mad at him at all…it happens to the best.

It doesn't really, since the best can control the ball and don't have to compensate their first touch with a tackle.

 

[Berbasbullet]

We are we sitting so fecking deep.

Absolutely no need. It's going to cost us.

Hmm I wonder why. Hmmm

 

[RedBanker]

AWB slidetackling on astroturf. OUCH!

The Oracle!

 

[choccy77]

Feel sorry for Sancho, just hasn't happened for him as yet

 

[2 man midfield]

Good job we kept Dalot

 

[Random Task]

If the tackle was reversed and if it had been on one of our players, no one would be saying it wasn't a red. It's a bit silly to read so many people saying it wasn't.

Rose-tinted specs are most definitely a thing.

It was as red as red gets to be fair. We'd be up in arms if the roles were reversed as you say.

 

[Dobba]

Spot the difference between that and AWB's red. Answers on a postcard.

 

[Nick7]

You'd think he'd notice that, but nooo.

I don’t know why I even try in these threads. Half the people commenting don’t even watch the matches.

 

[Drainy]

Hmm I wonder why. Hmmm

 

[Chicharo]

We need another one.Otherwise this might turn out to become another nightmarish European night
And all that against probably the weakest team in the group, after we opened the game with an early goal

 

[Judas]

Bit bleak that. Hope Ronaldo sorts them out at halftime.

 

[RedBanker]

Will someone please tell me why Varane is not playing?

 

[diarm]

How many subs can we make tonight?

I feel like Varane for Lindelof and Matic for Donny at half time would sure us up a bit, but I don't want Ronaldo running himself into the ground, all on his own up top for 90 minutes either.

 

[RonaldoVII]

I think everyone at the club is aware of this

Yet how many clamber for Van de Beek to start there all the time?

 

[Jagga7]

Went from a comfortable match to a bum clencher.

 

[Dante]

Wan off at the Wankdorf

 

[GaryLifo]

Spot the difference between that and AWB's red. Answers on a postcard.

It wasn't a United player. That's it basically.

 

[Desert Eagle]

Pogba having a mare.

Yeah he's been awful. I'd take him off for Jesse

 

[Inigo Montoya]

This lot are gonna score, almost inevitable.

Last season I'd say yes but not convinced. Need to keep our shape

 

[Eddy_JukeZ]

I'd take off VDB at HT and put in Greenwood and put Pogba back in midfield.

We need to get a better grasp of the game and we need another direct threat for a potential counter or 2.

 

[charlenefan]

Not sure Dalot on for Sancho was the right call, both in terms of the game but also Sancho's confidence

Feel Varane on for one of Bruno or Pogba and go 5 at the back with Sancho as a wing back might of been better, would have made us stronger at the back and still give us the running power on the wings

 

[Jazz]

Thank God for half time

 

[Martial'sEmergingSmile]

Touch of a rap... elephant.

Yung Babar is a pretty good footballer, and he always looks fly af...pimping in his crown.

 

[Inigo Montoya]

Yeah he's been awful. I'd take him off for Jessie

 

[Nick7]

It doesn't really, since the best can control the ball and don't have to compensate their first touch with a tackle.

Happened to Pogba against Arsenal. He has a great touch.

 

[bosnian_red]

Going from fully dominant and comfortable to now hope we hang in there because Wan Bissaka can't fecking control a ball.

 

[laughtersassassin]

Centre mid just not good enough.

Put Pogba in CM and either Fred or VDB off for Greenwood

 

[el3mel]

Young Boys quality are pretty low. We'll need to have a defensive disaster for them to score. I'm honestly not that much worried.

GOAT will bang on a second goal and we'll win 2-0. We have Ronaldo. Calm down.

 

[2 man midfield]

Glad we got to half time. We’ve not offered an attacking threat at all since the red, so Ole clearly needs to get some kind of plan across.

 

[bdspeedy]

Fred should have flopped around and maybe got the guy sent off. Not much different of a stomp. Only a yellow.

 

[Sandikan]

I don't think the surface makes for a great game. The kind of ball Fernandes played is the best chance, angled slippy balls in-between keeper and defence

It seems odd they allow plastic pitches at this level.

 

[RoadTrip]

Good to make it to half time. Hopefully we can get a proper strategy in place now.

 

[Anustart89]

Fred should've rolled around like 50 more times and it would've been 10v10

 

[Ali Dia]

3

Dalots first real test.

 

[VP89]

That's true but no way is that a straight red for me. No intent, no bad injury and now he's ready to beat Bolt in a race.

We've seen this before and I'm so sick of such stupidity.

Neither intent nor the player being seriously injured are necessary conditions for a red card. Being rash and wreckless with a dangerous challenge is what defines a red, and it was pretty much that. No complaints from me whatsoever.

 

[Idxomer]

Lingard on instead of Pogba or VDB.

 

[Drifter]

How is ole going to deal with this situation.

 

[Adam-Utd]

i’m not sure subbing sancho was the right move, but I don’t think he wanted to sub DVB (even though it was probably the right move.

Although Sancho wasn’t at his best his speed was still giving us a good outlet.

think we need to sit deeper and maybe get elanga on. i’d even take ronaldo off for martial and save his legs at this point.
