That flag was so late. What a joke

They got the decision because they complained. Absolute shite.

 

[RedSky]

Anyone bored

Nope been a good game despite being behind.

Not sure where Fellaini is playing though, half the time he looks like a left forward.

 

[NinjaFletch]

That's what is shocking about it though. What made the linesman change his mind exactly?

The referee, Dante, telling him to change it.

 

[walkinhop]

Feck UEFA. Corrupt cnuts.

No need to look at your member tag

 

[Dobba]

LVG should have been in the referees face at half time.

What, to make sure he gives us even less in the second half?

 

[RedDevil@84]

Anyways.. We were all over the place.. Scoreline could have been much worse..

 

[Dominos]

It wasn't even late it was over turned because the wolfburg players complained and said Mata touched it. fecking horse shit shit cnuts

Nope. He doesn't have to touch it for it to be offside.

 

[poisson]

We look defeated. feck this shite

 

[pseudo_canadian]

Do we have to play in Europa? Can we just tell them "nah, no thanks m8"?

 

[DomesticTadpole]

He did both of the last two things actually.

Agree.

 

[Ole's_toe_poke]

This game reminds me of that Basel match all those years ago. Infact this whole season reminds me of 05.

 

[SuperiorXI]

The rule got changed, I think that because Mata was in a position which would affect the goalkeepers position, it is correctly offside. Whether he touched it or not doesn't matter.

 

[Red-Jeff]

If you spend 350 million you should have adequate cover and not have to play a quite clearly not good enough to play for the club right back and then a right back at left back....and Fellaini of course.



Has it? Arent we 4th in the league? didn't we win 2 out of 5 CL games in an average group?

Considering our overall record is 13 wins 7 draws and 4 losses yes our play has gotten the result the majority of the time.

 

[Kraftwerker]

Very weak officiating. Influenced by players.

Not exactly sure why Carrick is on the bench. He would be perfect for this game. Wolfsburg aren't liking it when we pass the ball forward quickly.

 

[Man of Steel]

FFS folks calm down! We're creating chances and genuinely look like we can score a couple.

The problem is that we also look like we can concede a couple more as well

Tell me about it

 

[siw2007]

Reminiscent of Benfica away in 2005, we went ahead and blew it. We look better going forwards but still not good enough and losing that goal 3 minutes after we scored was a big blow.

I see why it was given offside as Mata was maybe in the line of sight. Just annoying that it was taken back only because their players complained.

 

[Di Maria's angel]

Farcical decision. Just when we actually play well, the fecking refs get involved again. I hope we believe.

 

[Moriarty]

that is not acceptable. but imo it was offside.

He was offside but the linesman shouldn't be influenced by a player like that. The referee has been pretty abysmal too but having said that, our fate is in our own hands. The damage was done with that draw with PSV at home. It was always going to be an uphill battle after that.

 

[Slevs]

The right decision was made. There is no reason to complain. It took 5 seconds more than it should have. Big fecking deal.

Shifting the blame to the lino is pretty silly. it's all on us.

Watch the manager do it later. So fecking disappointed. They worked the entire year last year to get into the CL then to go out like this is really daft.

 

[Escobar]

We are all over the place, what the hell is that? Everyone is in a different position every time we have the ball. Not good so far, especially Fellaini and Schweini. Let's win this!

 

[Earthquake]

That's lino is the "Milner sent off" poster.

 

[rcoobc]

I didn't even celebrate the goal because I knew it was about to be disallowed. On those situations there always seems to be a chat between the ref and lino before they disallow it.

Correct decision.

I said to the girlfriend, "Mata really shouldn't be pointing to his shoe, I think he was offside, he shouldn't try to claim it."...



...... and it was gone

 

[#07]

Every time Wolfsburg attack we are vulnerable. No midfield cover at all. We continue to move the ball forward slowly, and not take shots, despite Martial having the beating of Wolfsburg's defence and its keeper being cak.

 

[FromTheBench]

Season defining and possibly LVG's tenure defining 45 minutes coming up.

Need to change something in that midfield.

 

[diarm]

Blind, Mata and Martial all playing well.

Schweinsteiger and Fellaini have been brutal and what the hell is wrong with Smalling? Is he sick or did he just leave Mike at home?

 

[Rado_N]

No, he could have asked him if Mata influenced the action.

He shouldn't need the ref to tell him that though, surely? That's my point, if it was interfering with play fine but he should have been able to flag for that instantly, the fact that he needed confirmation of something is what seems odd.

 

[amolbhatia50k]

Had to dive late because Mata was in his line of vision though.

Yep, saw the replay. Correct decision.

 

[OutlawGER]

Good decision. Mata clearly interferes with play.

This. Heartbreaking for United but a correct call.

 

[BringNaniBack]

I would take Schweinstiger off for Carrick he has been really poor today.

 

[minoo-utd]

Van Gaal is hiding behind the young players and using them as an excuse for the shower of shite that we are. Playing the two current full backs is a fecking joke.

He is a coward manager.

 

[kidbob]

They're the better side so far and created by far the best chances. A bit like the West Ham game really. I'm just confused at how we can look so short at the back and short up front at the same time. It's literally as if they have 2 extra men at times.

 

[mu77]

always need two goals - a draw may be enough.

 

[LeChuck]

On the one hand, we're looking good. Mata in the #10 role is looking very dangerous. We have a lot of verve and attacking-ness to our play.

On the other hand, we're losing 2-1.

 

[Grylte]

Right decision, Mata is moving for the ball, while in offside position.
He doesn't need to touch it.

 

[Question234]

I dont think we've been THAT bad.

Needed luck with that second goal.

 

[bosnian_red]

We need Carrick on for Fellaini. Fellaini is a travesty of a midfielder. Provides nothing but his height. Just getting in the way more then anything. Our defence is looking very shaky, probably due to us not playing possession and just going for it. Maybe Van Gaal just doesn't know how to set up a fast paced attacking team?

 

[chriswt]

This sport is a farce. That's the difference between us staying in the competition or not.

Have to agree. Football is currently miles behind other sports in terms of applying technology. How can players be allowed to make a call like that, and how can quick video analysis not be readily available? Martial was already incorrectly flagged offside once when he was clearly onside.

 

[hp88]

Anyone bored

No, we might be losing be I haven't been this excited about United in a while.

 

[do.ob]

As if anything the players have to say matters in such a situation. The linesman was probably checking with the main ref if Mata was in Benaglio's field of view or something.

 

[Wumminator]

Don't worry people we have NICK feckING POWELL on the bench.

How did it end up with this poor of a bench!
