Wow… Maguire masterclass there. What the hell was that! Surprised Old Trafford didn’t stick on the Benny Hill theme tune.

They are making a new film The Slabhead Horror Picture Show.

 

[Converge]

Great work by Maguire there then a shocking attempt of a clearance by De Gea.

The amusing thing is De Gea shouting when it was hit kick that caused the issue!

To be fair, Maguire probably made him dizzy and put him under unnecessary pressure.

 

[RobDogDog]

Is it me, or has the referees positioning been quite poor?

 

[Calpol]

Anyone else think that Bruno has been quite poor again tonight. He has so much licence to roam but more often than not gives the ball away.

 

[turbot1984]

Slabeads nutted Ronaldo ... FFS you couldn't make it up.

 

[mid_gen]

and now slabhead's headbutting Ronaldo...what a guy.

Yep, he's off.

Good subs there. I was worried Fred was going to come off.

I am also starting to get an irrational hatred for Maguire now. If there is one thing I hate it is players that point fingers when they are crap. Lukaku is another one who does the same.

 

[Trusty]

Rashford in centre, Pogba out on the wing. UTD making it far more complicated than they need to. Just get the ball out to the wing and get some decent crosses into Ronaldo and Pogba.

 

[Calpol]

What's really apparent is how relatively weak or fullbacks are. They've offered little in an attacking sense and are often out of position which is a worry when you have the balletic poise and searing pace of Maguire as cover. The subs were fair. Elanga was kept quiet, McTominay was solid but won't unlock a defence and Bruno was gash so fair to do a like for like with Pogba.

 

[Trusty]

Gotta take Fred off

 

[Converge]

This ref, for gods sake.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Savage is unbearable, he’s been making crap up all night.

 

[vanandjuanunited]

Shocking reffing

 

[adam cool dude]

The good news that we are out of the champions League is that I can cancel my btsport sub and save the money for my 150% increase gas and leccy bill. .

 

[Converge]

Ah Varane! So close!

Ha, I’m literally going to be doing the same thing!

 

[nemtizz]

Superb officiating tonight.

 

[manic111]

Only just turned this on, but what a bizarre match. It's like watching nervous youngsters versus 60 year olds.

 

[The Running Man]

Rashford

 

[vanandjuanunited]

Trashford in his usual form.
