    Are the players on a timer or something? Like "You're not allowed to attack before we've held possession for 2 minutes"

    How can we blame rooney for this?

    That was a dive by the defender against lindgard btw..

    AND what the heck was Martial doing with the hand?

    we can't keep the ball. I have to say that I'm shocked they're stopping us at the midfield line so easily. WE're also not pressing.

    Jones was the guilty party on the PK rebound. 1 job, RUN forward.

    Gotta say, credit to the ref for pulling it back imo. If that was us, we'd want the same. Gave the advantage, wasn't there, brought it back.

    Shouldn't have been a goal, I thought the rules were that if the ball comes back of the post and the opposition score then the penalty is disallowed.
    only if DDG hadn't touched it and if the penalty taker retouches it

    there is a rule that if the penalty shot comes back of the post or bar and the player scores the goal is disallowed.

    Its true, first time I saw this was when my kids game had a penalty goal disallowed under this rule, checked it out myself and its true!

    The patient zombie passing, once again, has not worked yet.
    Maybe we need to try playing direct, like we did against Everton.

    Jesse Lingaard as first teamer? Does LVG think this is a preseason game?

    Martial is wasted out wide when teams defend deep like this. And Rooney can't get in the game.

    CSKA seem very organised defensively. We can still win this but I really think Martial needs to be at #9, and Rooney # bench.

    I despise Spanish refs. They call the slightest fecking contact as a foul.

    Bunch of pussies.
    I used to think that, but now I've moved on to United players/coaches being stupid at not recognising it. We're constantly outdone by 'clever' play or 'soft' fouls. But we never get them.

    United work the ball forward down the right, Valencia gets the cross in but with only Rooney to aim for it's easily defended by CSKA.

    Compare this to the way Bayern Munich dominated at Arsenal. Possession football? We don't know the meaning of the word. I think it's a shambles that we're as slow on and off the ball as we are.

    This is rather awful so far. Far too comfortable for CSKA right now.

    There is no penetration because we never take any risks.

    Jones misjudges a ball forward and Musa nearly gets in but Smalling comes across to cover.

    So is the point in Rooney up front so that at least he's in a position where you don't need to give your everything? Where you can play on the fringes at best? But that a goal is all that matters... I guess that's progress on him doing nothing in a position where you need a bit more.

    Rojo's positioning is atrocious! Why isn't Blind playing left back?

    And I'm guessing that left wing position is contagious... Martial trying to take people on like Memphis with very little success!

    Mr LVG please get your backside off that bench and show some pigging passion.

    Martial is having a stinker so far.

    He cannot beat his full back.
