If I wasn't watching the game and just reading this thread, I'd think we were simultaneously playing great and playing awful, and Rooney was somehow both our worst and best player.
Morgan isn't there, personal issue.Rooney is actually playing well, whats going on?
On a more serious note it wasn't a bad half but could've been better deliveries. Jesse off for Memphis for me and Carrick off for Morgan.
Jesus...Any criticism should go directly to the front 6. LVG has sent out the best team available with the right tactics.
Our front 4 though have not been slick enough in movement and our finishing has been poor.
Rooney the best player in our team so far has done well but BFS, Carrick and Lingard have been average, Mata and Martial wasteful.
At some point the players have to take full responsibility
He likes to take a chance and beat a defender. Not allowed under the philosophy.And why did we loan Januzaj again ?
Just put on a DVD of the good old daysI'm watching highlights from the other CL games.
I am getting very jealous watching other teams score goals.
Yeah, started good, but fell off midway or a bit earlier. 5 fr me till now.Also, I don't think he's been shite but describing Rooney as 'good' is a bit odd. He's done nothing. Kept the ball better but good would be being generous.
The effort don't deserve it. I see our players trying hard and they should be encouraged for that, not boo-ed. The 'attack' chants are unnecessary too considering we've been going at the CSKA defence all half.Was it feck deserved. Fecking hell.
Even defensively he has impressed. He should always start, no matter where he plays because his energy is invaluable.Has Young missed his calling playing all those years as a winger?
Is he doing that at Dortmund?Everytime I watch them he isn't even on the pitchHe likes to take a chance and beat a defender. Not allowed under the philosophy.
I actually came to that conclusion by watching it.If I wasn't watching the game and just reading this thread, I'd think we were simultaneously playing great and playing awful, and Rooney was somehow both our worst and best player.
Yep I'd agree swap Mata for Depay and put Depay left and Jesse right wing.Would love to see Depay come on for Mata at half-time. We need some pace from the right to go with the pace down the left. That way, the CSKA players can't just sit in the middle - they'd have to spread.
Very harsh on Lingard. Final ball a bit off but overhitting is a clear sign of nerves. That'll get better as the game goes on. If you bring Depay on we immediately lose that threat out wide. He'll want to start coming inside and linking up with Rooney and Shweinsteiger. That's the last thing we need with Mata being on the other side.Lingard off Memphis on pleaae
I don't think Utd are that much better than most fans around the world and laughing should never conditioned by things done or not by the club or its fans.Yeh. Any logical explanation why some were booing? That's just weird.
We laugh at other clubs for booing their teams yet here are some of our own, booing after we clearly stepped it up.
That's going to be a tough one
I arrived in late, cut me some slackMorgan isn't there, personal issue.
One (what Blind does) is a long ball, and one that he's only really able to make because he's got loads of time and space (as evidenced by the fact he barely made any of them last season from midfield)He's been shit.
Why would you think pinging a ball into the feet of an attacker with back to goal is as good as putting a player through on goal? One of them guarantees a chance, the other doesn't. Carrick played in defense and wasn't capable of that kind of passing.
He's been directly responsible for the breakdown of every attack he's been involved in.Hmm? I much prefer Lingard and dont think he is having a bad game.
Noticed some of his defensive work on Saturday was really appreciated by DdGEven defensively he has impressed. He should always start, no matter where he plays because his energy is invaluable.
When you get your chance, you have to take it. he hasn't!We need to calm down a bit in the box and make good decisions. Pressure is building up and the players are feeling it
Lingard is playing well but just trying too hard because everyone has been encouraged to shoot
Yep. Really disappointed in them today. We're actually playing attacking football but they're not getting behind the team at all. It's like they've already made their minds up.Yeh. Any logical explanation why some were booing? That's just weird.

That half did not deserve the booing, (if thats what it was) OK we did not score but played decent enough.Yeh. Any logical explanation why some were booing? That's just weird.

Setanta Ireland? Might switch to them as BT makes you miss ITV and ITV were bad, really bad.John Hartson being pretty positive. Nice to see Saha on Setanta too.
Literally doing that and it's exactly how you said it. It sounds like people just want any reason to complain even though we are attacking more from what I gather.If I wasn't watching the game and just reading this thread, I'd think we were simultaneously playing great and playing awful, and Rooney was somehow both our worst and best player.
