So who's up next on the penalty merri-go-round?

I think Herrera is the vice vice penalty taker.

 

[horsechoker]

 

[peridigm]

We need a new squad. Barring Martial. He can stay.

 

[diarm]

Memphis has been excellent.
Varela, Riley, Morgan and Rashford have been good.
Romero and Herrera have been grand.
Carrick, Blind, Mata and Lingard have been bad.

Not great when 3 of the 4 senior players we have left able to stand up on their own, are all in the bad column.

 

[Charlie Foley]

Who was Chief talking to in that argument?

 

[Mystry]

Well I'm entertained at least.

 

[#07]

Biggest fourty five minutes of Van Gaal's United career coming up. It's win or bust, simple as.

 

[Scorpy]

I don't want to imagine us going out to this shit, but somehow I can see it happening, especially with Mata's penalty miss. We should be able to score 2 goals in the second half as they're absolutely abysmal, but I can see them fluking another goal.

 

[R'hllor]

Well Mata goes on bottom of the penalty list,wonder who is 2nd now 1st.

 

[VanGaalyTime]

Yeah, it is not like he scored two brilliant goals against Liverpool in the race for top 4 last season.

Some of you lot need to have your ability to retain memory tested.

Granted, he has scored goals. But he's also responsible for a lot of the bad misses both this season and last season. Other than that Liverpool game, I can't think of a game Mata took by the scruff of the neck to make his mark.

 

[charlenefan]

I don't care about this game, I'm already dreading what's going to happen to us Sunday

 

[Acquire Me]

Blind or Ander should take them.

And 2 are our CB LOL

Mata has had freedom to roam all season. He has always been a focal point and he is the supposed playmaker but I don't see enough play being made by him do merit such high status.

He was shunned out right for most of the season, if you build a team around a player you dont move him out of his best position to accommodate others.

 

[Hammerfell]

That penalty was so sad I think you could actually hear it crying as it slowly rolled towards goal.

 

[Spock]

Seeing it for a third time, the pk looks even worse. No power, med placement. No real conviction behind the shot.

Time to look for a new pk specialist.

 

[stu_1992]

Owen seems to think that penalty kick had 'a bit of pace on it'. It fecking bounced before reaching the keeper for chrissakes. Gawd he is useless

This, it was pretty weak pen. Id it had any pace at all, it was in. Bizarre he even said that.

Anyway, a pretty meh game IMO. Can't leave a team score against you like that when you're dominating possession. Memphis looking the most likely to make something happen. Needs to improve his decision-making/end product.

 

[Red Dreams]

van Gaal will be here until June.

 

[peridigm]

I think Herrera is the vice vice penalty taker.

Wasn't he demoted earlier this year? Maybe it was last year. I can't remember.

 

[JTW95]

You have got to be fecking kidding me

No joke. He wants erections.

 

[Raw]

Biggest fourty five minutes of Van Gaal's United career coming up. It's win or bust, simple as.

He's still going to be here if we get knocked out.

 

[SteveJ]

[roykeane19]

I love mata as a player, I`ve always supported him, but I guess in the summer he should be offloaded, a player of his quality needs to be dominating games like this, that penalty might cost us the CL spot depending how far we go

 

[Dobbs]

If there's an important moment in a game you can bet your life on Mata messing it up.

His finishing, usually regarded as an important moment in a game, is one of his strengths.

One average penalty doesn't change that.

 

[Acquire Me]

The penalty lacked wood tbf.

 

[NoLogo]

What a roller coaster game so far. For that lineup we weren't half bad. Okay it's not the best opponent in the world but still.

 

[diarm]

They will definitely score again. We need 3 more goals to go through.

This team will face Arsenal ?? My God.

 

[Sonny1972]

I was annoyed when we out of the Champions League, but can you imagine if we'd scraped through behind Wolfsburg and been given a team like Barcelona or Bayern? Messi, Suarez and Neymar would rack up a cricket score against Carrick and Blind tonight.

if we'd scraped through behind Wolfsburg , it would be Atletico Madrid .

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Wasn't he demoted earlier this year? Maybe it was last year. I can't remember.

He's only ever taken one penalty and that was against Liverpool and he scored. 100% record.

 

[Cooksen]

Memphis will win us this game IMO

 

[roykeane19]

We need Looney Van Gaals Horny Army to save us

 

[Mr Pigeon]

You have got to be fecking kidding me

Nope, he really does want the players to be horny. It's to coincide with him fecking the club raw.

 

[paulscholes18]

Not doing too bad considering our injured 11 is better then the 11 on the pitch

Ddg
Darmian Smalling Jones Shaw
Fellaini Bastian
Valencia Rooney Young
Martial

 

[kouroux]

Young guys - Riley, Rashford and Depay looking exceptionally good - particularly Depay who's putting in a captain's performance. Herrera and Mata non existent really. Schneirderlin have a decent game in midfield.

This made me laugh for no particular reason.

That allegation can be levelled at each and everyone of our outfield players with the exception of Martial. To laud Memphis after a good half and say he has more bottle than Mata is laughable currently. Depay has had far too many horror shows this season.

 

[LeftyBlaster]

We are going to get fecked upside down by Arsenal.

 

[dwd]

Just left at half time. Kids should be banned from OT. Worst experience of my life.

 

[All 3 United]

This is a perfect example of two very poor Europa teams.

Memphis is playing well tonight but he always does against shite defenders.

 

[entropy]

LVG's Horney Army!!!!
