[Heinzesight]

Any match played on a fecking billiard table is bound to be shite. Wank surface.

 

[Judas]

Being a twat when people said they preferred Grealsh, but naturally you overlook that.

Why would I remember that who would remember that. Baffling.

 

[Martial'sEmergingSmile]

Our shape already looks so much better than the last 10 minutes of the first half.

 

[SirAnderson]

Fully expecting the Ole thread to be heavily bumped tonight, will be interesting to see the experts thoughts on Ole's game management going a man down.
Sure the result will amplify it, but that hasn't stopped many win or lose.

 

[432JuanMata]

Glad Pogba's having this kind of game tonight and not against West Ham. Get it out of his system.

He can’t be great every game, this season he’s been great and will have these games so it’s good it’s here

 

[0le]

Ole doesn't have the balls to do anything about Ronaldo or Pogba. Pogba has been atrocious. Ronaldo ain't gonna do shit with 10 men and you take Donny off who has been one of our better players? Fred again has been a calamity. Bad management, even if we win this game by some miracle.

Pogba can create chances. You just cannot take that sort of player off, particularly when he already has 7 assists. Bare in mind as well, we will be playing defensively for the next 45 minutes and need someone who can ping long balls forward.

 

[TheRedHearted]

First Man United player to be sent off in the Champions league since Nani v Real Madrid which was Ferguson last CL game as United manager.

Maybe due to how little CL football we’ve been playing in those years.

 

[big rons sovereign]

Refs an absolute bollock.

 

[SirAnderson]

AWB ruins both Sancho and VDB in the same game.

Talk about long legs.

 

[Tony247]

Players are slipping, can't control the ball. What a fecking pitch.

 

[bdspeedy]

How does Fred stay on and Donny gets subbed? Ole will only have himself to blame when he's sacked. Fred seems a nice guy but has been trash lately.

You ok pal? Take off our only striker so that we have no outlet against 10 men. Pretty happy that Ole does not have the balls to make stupid fecking decisions like that.

 

[United Hobbit]

I thought Donny was doing OK, AWB caused all the issues, the defence was shaky all game

Hopefully Donny gets some more starts and games

 

[Redlyn]

It was a red, his first one at United. The pitch is pretty bad but there is no excuse for that. Annoying as it is, it happens. Hopefully we can hold on to the lead. AWB still a great 1 on 1 defender for me. He just made a mistake

And thats pretty much all he is which is not enough. I would happily take a more rounded player.

 

[ArjenIsM3]

I feel for Donny. He did fine. Don't think he should've been the one to be subbed off.

We are winning 1-0. Calm down

 

[ForeverRed1]

Why always donny ? Could do with minutes under his belt.

 

[Dan_F]

It was a red, but I hate these kinds of reds where basically both players go for the ball and one of them reaches it a tenth of a second faster and the other pretty much can't avoid fouling him. Then it's a matter of utter spatial randomness and a few centimeters to determine whether it's a yellow that has no real bearing on the match, or a red that completely changes the result. You're going for the ball and suddenly there's a foot right where you're about to place yours in the next instant. Unavoidable, unintentional, but the rules are the rules and the red is correct.

Minutes later there's an essentially identical challenge in the other end of the pitch, but because one player steps on a different and less painful part of the other's foot, it's not a red. It's pretty much a roll of the dice. So fecking unlucky, and now it might make an otherwise comfortable CL group much more troublesome. It's not as if AWB shouldn't have gone for the ball, just rotten luck.

There you go. Another on Bruno.

 

[Judas]

We look much better shape wise now. VDB going off was the right choice.

 

[elmo]

How does Fred stay on the pitch over Donny?

Ole clearly has a preference to stick with the players that he trusts and gives them more leeway even when they're not performing.

To be fair, his method generally works for us most of the time.

 

[Pexbo]

Ugh I hate Coldplay.

 

[RetroStu]

Fred turned into Pirlo this half.

 

[RedDevil@84]

Ole clearly has a preference to stick with the players that he trusts and gives them more leeway even when they're not performing.

Just like most sensible managers.

 

[Tony247]

I will take 1-0 and go home in one piece.

 

[kiristao]

Such a strange one for the ref. Plays the advantage. United lose the ball. Blows the whistle. Books the Young Boys player and then hands the ball to Young Boys from the drop ball?

 

[GaryLifo]

Bunch of cheats this lot. Cry baby cheats

 

[Pexbo]

VAR?

 

[GaryLifo]

That's a penalty

 

[King Eric 7]

Hmmmm

 

[saivet]

Yeah looked a dive from Ronaldo

 

[Dudu]

Pen?

 

[Judas]

Why isn't that a pen.

 

[Tom Van Persie]

Penalty!

 

[mu4c_20le]

Thats a pen feck off

 

[Sviken]

Man, this guy really does the play-acting very well. That jump, you would think he was a candidate for the Olympics.

 

[elmo]

Just like most sensible managers.

Yeah and it works for Ole mostly.

 

[2 man midfield]

Hmmm

 

[RedDevil@84]

The YB are going full Spanish on us

 

[Red00012]

So Varane, Maguire, Lindelo, Shaw, Dalot. 5 at the back? Ole scared he will lose against these lot?

Someone tell him it ain’t PSG we are playing

 

[Nick7]

That dive wasn’t even subtle
