UEFA Champions & Europa League Football Thread ** spoilers ** [19th - 21st October 2021]

I’d love to see Scholes face now. Like a bulldog chewing a wasp.

We're missing Varane, but that's no excuse for the **** poor defending of set pieces tonight.

 

[fez]

He's recieved the ball well under pressure and either made a difficult pass or turned his man and created space. I think you are being harsh on the lad. Given he's the least experienced on the pitch he's the only one who had impressed me.

There was nothing negative aimed at him in my post. My point was merely that in a team with 0 coaching and chemistry, players who are individualistic will obviously shine. This has been the case for the past 3 years. A couple of moments from players create our goals so when individuals aren't producing those, we fall apart and look awful.

Someone wrote off Atalanta in Man U’s last game, they are a really well coached side.

Ole just wants another crack at the Europa League. Semi final in 19/20, finalist last season, surely they'll win it this season.

I wrote off our season a couple of weeks ago.

I mean

I think will win it but he will not be the manager in charge of it and I think we will need to win it to qualify for the champs league next season!

Our fans wouldn't know a well coached side if it slapped them in the face.

 

[Converge]

If crashing out of the CL at the group stage means we get a new manager, I’ll happily pay it. Fed up with Ole’s crap.

They genuinely wouldn't. There are still people that think a CM is standing between us and the world. That a CM would turn us from utter **** to the sublime. Who think that Ole hasn't been backed to the hilt. Who can't see beyond the scoreline at the end of a game.

If we ever get a modern progressive coach I think it might blow some peoples minds.

 

[BaZ87]

I have to admit, I am slightly concerned that this is shaping up for another Ole houdini act on Sunday, I'd much rather Utd win tonight instead.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Considering their ages, I'd expect far more effort from Greenwood and Rashford. They're both jogging around and barely putting any pressure on the Atalanta defenders.

 

[uber soldat]

McFred are all over the place, not even in the right positions.

I honestly believe that if we get a world class manager in that Fred will become great. Watch Fred for Brazil and it is like a different player.

 

[chroniclard]

Ronaldo probably wants out in Jan.

 

[fez]

Nice tackle but Rashford was running in treacle there.

 

[The Running Man]

Fred making chances!

I'm not convinced. International football is a much slower pace with far more space. Especially South American teams.

Ronaldo probably wants out in Jan.

I would happily help him pack his bags. I said that he was a bad idea when we signed him.

 

[Kenai]

Says a lot when Fred is the player carving open the box and trying to curl the ball into the far corner, given the players in front of him

 

[uber soldat]

Fred missing Sitters!

There, I fixed that for you.
