    The pitch makes it incredibly difficult to string passing moves together.

    This is the kind of game that you get in, get out, and move on. I'll not be taking anything away from it.

    We are pretty toothless as usual. Zlatan must have a 4% pass completion rate and overall we are just so damn average. Mata and Rooney been pretty useless too. Pogba not really put a pass wrong but he is bugging me with his shooting and pissing about, would just be so much better if he used his head a bit more.

    Martial for Rooney/ Mata would be a wise move.

    Bring Rashford on for Ibra in the final 15-20 minutes. But we know that won't happen.
    Is he even in the squad? I thought it was just Rashford.

    Oh he is, never mind.

    Considering how absolutely terrible this pitch is, I feel a bit remiss to criticise any of our players so far. Just glad we're not losing.

    Rooney and Ibra should actually try moving once in a while. Rather see Rashford and Martial if they continue like this.

    Anyone else find it strange how professional footballers have a hard time playing quick football, like give and goes etc?

    Pitch is terrible.

    Get this game done and move on. Wouldn't draw too many conclusions from this.

    We're playing fine on an absolutely shite pitch in below freezing conditions, everyone needs to relax.

    So much overreaction in this thread. The pitch is dog sh!te, looks like they are kicking it through treacle. All I want from this match is no injuries. We will get a goal, but expecting some crisp high performance in these conditions is ridiculous.

    This soft team will use any excuse to not put full effort in. Exploiting the "icy pitch" and "frosty conditions" and "tough Eastern European game" narratives to the absolute maximum.

    Go out and get an early goal in the 2nd half. Then go home.

    We have been playing well, its just hard when the pitch is shite and Zorya are playing with a 10 man defense.

    Classic Europa league away material.

    Crap opponents we don't look any better than, slow and no flow, trying to channel everything through Ibra as if it's a 5 side game.
    Wil we ever win another away game in Europe!?

    Doesn't make any sense to play that many important players in this game. They're just wasted because of the pitch.

    I'm not entirely sure why throwing fireworks at people is described as something to be expected.

    I mean, it is, but it shouldn't be.
