UEFA Champions & Europa League Football Thread ** spoilers ** [22nd - 24th October 2024]

[Robbo]

Not a penalty, but looked it initially, good call.

 

[Bounce]

Looked like he caught him

 

[Robbo]

Mourinho sent to the stands

Surprised the commentators missed that, was easy to see the ref show him the card

 

[Nate75]

Crap the last thing we need is Antony picking up an injury

 

[Calpol]

Is Antony ****housing here. He's one of the few players I don't mind seeing picking up an injury. Why he's on ahead of Amad is criminal

 

[omnomnom]

They were saying not to use slow mo unless necessary which means watching at real time it could be interpreted that the defender stopped their leg so there was less contact regardless they won so justice is served

What?

Stopped their leg too late which clearly took Nunez out

 

[adam cool dude]

The goat is out injured.

 

[Robbo]

Antony, one of the worst signings in history for sure. Utterly horrendous.

Also the commentary - "Man Utd haven't won a game in Europe for 12 months"

Just a shambles everywhere you look.

Fenerbache aren't a good team. Yet again though we can't put a mediocre team away despite having chances. All you can say is, we didn't lose but that's hardly progress.
Trying to be positive - we didn't lose away to Porto or Fenerbache and you'd have to think we can win 2/3 of the next games.

 

[Shamikebab]

injuries piling up again sigh

 

[Robbo]

FT.

No sign of any progress really, Garnacho as usual is the only bright spark in a team that look utterly clueless.

Our worst run in Europe for 41 years, but who's surprised? 1 win in 11 games.

 

[Nate75]

Stick to de plan

 

[Vandle]

A draw away in Turkey is a good result imo.

 

[Shamikebab]

It's not a bad result in isolation, if we'd won the opening game I think two draws in the tough away games would be fine.

 

[Vandle]

Absolutely. If it was a game in the champs league group stage you’d take that before kickoff any day. However it’s not though, and Eric gets to prolong his execution a bit longer

lol they are poor results. Your standards are through the floor.

 

[Shamikebab]

Tough away games will always be tough away games, both teams are the kind of games you get regularly in the Champions League. A couple of years ago the eventual finalists Inter Milan only just managed to beat Porto 1-0 over the space of two legs in the CL knockouts. Suddenly pretending they're bad teams is disingenuous. The year we won the Europa League we literally lost to Fenerbache away from home.

 

[sigma]

lol they are poor results. Your standards are through the floor.

Agreed but can we realistically expect much better with the players that started? As I said before we have a mix of old, young and cast-offs, all average at best, we don't have a VVD, a Salah, a Rodri, a Palmer.

We have Zirkzee, lol. And we bring on Antony. Mazaroui up top... ETH mastermind.

 

[fez]

Its not a bad result in isolation. Unfortunately its not in isolation. Still no progress and I don't think there will be. Trust the process implies progress and currently at United, there is none.

 

[Converge]

Pleased to see ETH’s plan is working. We’re 21st in the Europa League table and 12th in the PL. Living the dream.
