Donny gonna get 45 mins

So here is a question. Is he ever going to be anything other than "tidy"?

 

[Shamikebab]

I think VdB has been excellent so far, one of his better performances. Created a great chance and made some really good runs.

 

[Somnambulist]

Villarreal next. Being knocked out by Emery would be classic Arsenal.

Not in this United team under Ole. Just doesn't fit. He would work well at City.

Goal aside - United have been garbage again. Almost as bad as last week.

I think we've been fine, we've created a few good chances. It makes sense to ease up with this seasons' schedule where we can. No reason to go all out when we're comfortably leading.

Not sure this has been a "take it easy" performance, its just been disjointed and a bit ****.

Fair point but generous in my view. It's a stark contrast to the quality of City last night. Clearly different circumstances but disappointing how we don't seem able to control the game better against a £7m outfit from Spain.

This. Hopefully switch it on for Burnley, otherwise that’ll be like watching paint dry.

 

[vanandjuanunited]

Why is James playing left side. What is the point

 

[robfosters]

Lacazette has got gunpowder in his boots

 

[Somnambulist]

4-0. Stick the kids on.

They're hardly some third division team, they knocked out flipping Napoli over two legs. I'm not sure how this doesn't count as controlling the game? We've had 61% possession and other than some diving and ***housery they haven't really threatened.

 

[vanandjuanunited]

We should be setting a marker here against this side. Our passing has been ponderous and our finishing poor. Against better opposition we would be banjaxed

They've had as good chances as United in this game but not taken them. We are at home, started a strong 11 but have laboured and looked incoherent for the most part. I expect more and we will have to offer more vs Roma.

 

[Shamikebab]

Pretty comedy own goal

 

[fez]

Nice finish.

 

[Shamikebab]

Not sure how the ref missed that foul on Amad

 

[robfosters]

Perfect night for the English sides

 

[omnomnom]

Granada are crap. United spent more on VDB then they have spent in 10 years.

This guys stunt double on Made in Chelsea?
