Have to say, I genuinely didn't see this happening tonight. Mourinho's suddenly going to have 2 possible job offers coming his way I think.

Macclesfield Town and Notts County? what Solksjaer has done since taking over has made Mourinho look like a League Two manager.

You can just imagine what Jose would have been like tonight, would have written the whole game off before kick off and said all the players he had left available were ****
 
Considering how screwed over by the ref we were in the first game was it was a nice bit of karma. Seemed like a pen to me though, he's looking directly at the ball and raises his arm into it.
 
Given we have 10 first team squad members injured, it's all the more remarkable, I'm usually pretty optimistic and didn't think we had a chance tonight.

Admittedly there's a bit of fortune with VAR, and it was a bit harsh on Kimpembe but it did hit his arm, but so what :D

Don't even need to imagine. That is exactly what Jose said about the youth players in preseason, saying they weren't his team. Contrast that with what Ole was saying in the build up to this one.
 
PSG and Juve are the greatest European bottlers ever I think. Couldn’t happen to two nicer clubs

Also yeah, this just makes eye gouger look more of a *****, must be nice for manu fans not having to pretend he’s not a horrid cretin

A pen for that? Wasn't even on target.

It's absolutely not a requirement for a penalty to be on target, you can get a penalty if a striker for no reason kicks it from the goal line towards his own goal and a player on the edge of his area handballs it.

More importantly, it's a penalty. If you watch the replay it's deliberate. There are two ways that handball happens, player jumps and spins and his arm comes out naturally and accidentally due to spinning, it's natural for an arm to come out though you should hold them in. But what the replay, he extends his arm and leg before he jumps and spins. His arm moving out is a deliberate reaction that he does before he turns his back. There was no reason to extend his arm out but it's intentional and it hit his arm. Owen just saying it's not a penalty because his arm isn't 'up'. But again look at the replay, his arm comes out away from his body, then he jumps and spins, look at where his arm is before he jumps and turns, the arm is a good way out from his body and extended, the spin and jump makes his arm look less high and less extended but he moved his arm out when he was looking at the ball.

I think it's very strange but I see it as a deliberate handball.

I also find it really strange that two games in a row Lukaku has been in form, had two goals and not wanted to take the penalty. Does he just have absolutely no confidence he can score? After Pogba failed to score and people were all saying Lukaku should have taken it it kind of puts more pressure on Rashford as well in that he's thinking Lukaku is on two goals and the form guy on pitch and the last time he didn't take it the guy missed.

Decent power penalty but very close to the keeper, could/should have saved it.
 
Holy ****** ****, that was insane.

Smalling and Fred played excellent. Thought rash was going to miss, saying to myself why isn’t Lukaku taking it but boy what a pen.
 
Michael Owen didn't enjoy pressure penalties. I can honestly say no supporter of the side he was playing for enjoyed seeing him step up to take pens, he was ****ing terrible at them.
