UEFA Champions & Europa League Football Thread ** spoilers ** [12th - 14th December 2023]

It is a blessing in disguise.

Our team is made out of glass. Dropping into the Europa League and those Thursday nights getting chopped to pieces by some Slavic team isn't good. At least we can just focus on the league and getting players back fit.

Wait, did I just hear them say they're bringing on Gary Pallister? Are injuries that bad?

I'm sure he'd be faster than Maguire to be fair

Bayern have hardly even tried.

Would have been a totally different game should they of needed to win. Not even got out of first gear.

Do you not want CL next season?

Tepid performance but authentic to our level. Munich haven't had to break sweat really. Missing out on Europe clearly is a huge financial blow but it might give a chance for us to build some better form and recover some fitness.

So for the Liverpool game at the weekend, Utd could well be without Fernandes, Martinez, Shaw, Maguire, Rashford and Martial.

Talk about going out on a whimper, have United had a shot on target this half? I mean at least test the keeper…

We've been OK defensively, but that's come at the cost of not having an attack

how much was poundland haaland again?

Haaland wouldn't do any better in this team (trust me, I've watched him playing for Norway).

£80m , you’d think with the money he’s on he could afford acne treatment it’s all over his face.

Pity he didnt opt to play for England

Heres hoping for a 98/99 to happen

 

[JamesH85]

Had to get a result tonight and they've managed one shot on target all game.

 

[fez]

Bruno has been awful tonight

I’d fear for even experienced strikers in this United side atm.

Wouldn’t write them off finishing 4th this early in the season. Bowing out of Europe completely and the Jim’ll fix it bounce will do them a world of good.

 

[Stumble Bum]

'football's coming home' lol

At this moment in time I think no Champions League next season and by that I mean no Europe at all would be a good thing.

Man U fans can take some solace in that with Copenhagen winning, tonight’s result wouldn’t have mattered anyway (for the CL at least).
