I was putting my little boy to bed and missed the second goal. Just seen the replay. Jesus Christ, what the feck was DDG doing?

 

[luke511]

I'm just sick of the sight of Phil Jones' face

 

[Inigo Montoya]

Ole was the one taking the plaudits during the winning streak. It’s only fair that he takes the criticism during this period of utterly shit performances.

Can’t argue with it, but I would add that we started positively and should have been 1-0 up but Young saw to that!

Ole should take the heat for picking him

 

[Aloysius's Back 3]

He runs and runs but does feck all else.

He jogs* not runs

 

[Schmeichel=God]

You lot give Jones shit most game... he's been outstanding tonight running the ball out.

I've stood by Jones my entire forums career!

 

[beergod]

I feel a bit bad for Young. He's shit but we shouldn't be relying on him as much as we are - that's a club issue.

I feel the same. It's not his fault that we don't have a viable alternative to push him onto the bench.

 

[Annihilate Now!]

I know it's Messi, but Fred got beat so cheaply for that first goal. Obviously Young needs to do a better clearance, but yeah.

 

[Andycoleno9]

Back to blaming Ole now...

So fecking predictable this place.

Yes, Mourinho is at fault here. He forced Ole to make this silly lineup

 

[PlayerOne]

I was expecting nothing and they still manage to let me down.

 

[Inigo Montoya]

Angling for a move

 

[DavidDeSchmikes]

Lingard has been anonymous and De Gea is having his worse season since joining us.

 

[Striker10]

If we were in good form, we might have done better but our form isn't great. Goals aren't flowing and our play has peaked . Players are being found out but quarters is respectable considering how bad we've been at times. As poor as they may have been, we are playing catch up because of our transfer strategy and while other teams around us strengthen we have been complacent to the point we need to be sold because the market is broken. Let's keep the score respectable

 

[Jazz]

Remember. Jose wanted to sell him and buy William and loads of supporters went mad.
Who is mad now.

As id=f Willian would be any better. They're both playing shite. At least suggest someone else other than an over the hill player.

 

[rpitchfo]

Rashford cross bar - goal instead = 1-0
McTominay better touch - possible goal = 2-0
Barcelona sh1t themselves as a result
Sit back and counter - another away goal maybe, they score as well = 3-1 on the night and we go wild

Everything though went against us. Including Ole persisting with Ashley Young. Not saying someone else wouldn't have made a stupid error in the 90, but there is massive precedent with Ashley and his wastefulness and woefulness. Captain or not, I'm sorry. There comes a time.

That time was about 4 years ago

 

[RedDevil@84]

That early chance for Rashford , if that was RVN or RVP that goes in. As soon as Rashford got it you knew he’d feck up.

Same with the shot he tried after running away with the ball.
Barca defenders seemed pretty cool that he would try an impossible angle which can easily be stopped by Ter Stegen

 

[Paul_Scholes18]

He keeps playing Young.

Stop playing him.

Not sure Rojo or Dalot would have been much better today. In the first leg he should not have played, but now with Shaw out we lack a proper left back.

 

[Todd]

How many times have all of us seen a highlight where Messi cuts left at the top of the box and curls one in at the far post? How many times over the years? Robben made a career out of the same thing...how defenders are still falling for this is beyond me.

 

[Hernandez - BFA]

Honestly. If @GifLord can grab it then you’ll see it clear as day. He looks as perplexed as we do.

 

[Buster15]

They need Jaffa Cakes.

And very strong coffee

 

[edgar allan]

You would think Dalot is a prime Dennis Irwin the way he's being talked about. Young made a mistake, Dalot's looked suspect defensively all season. Playing him would have made next to no difference to us.

I'd take Denis Irwin now over young

 

[Heinzesight]

We're losing this tie entirely due to our own defensive incompetence. It's so, so disappointing.

Messi aside, this Barca team are nothing special.

Liverpool will absolutely slaughter them in the next round.

In a fecking nutshell.

 

[BrianMcClair'sBarnet]

Atleast I have porn.Kind,lonely porn.

I worry Liverpool will beat them too.

Would love to know who does the ratings at M.E.N. He is bitter and twisted, just like us.

McTominay

Fatefully failed to control the ball at 0-0. 4

Rashford

Squandered excellent chances. 4

Martial

Been a threat. 5

Lingard

Improved on Saturday. 5

 

[Jazz]

Never could understand why Daley wasnt kept, the only pkayer with passion, heart and a brain.

Because Mourinho didn't value those qualities

 

[PlayerOne]

Really dislike so many of these players. We need a massive clearout this summer. And injection of new quality.

That won't happen. They all got given new deals

 

[GledTheRed]

Remember. Jose wanted to sell him and buy William and loads of supporters went mad.
Who is mad now.

Willian aint much better either.

 

[Siorac]

If only Rashford put his chance away.. That was his Welbeck moment.

To be fair, he was unlucky there. It wasn't a terrible finish and if it had gone a couple inches lower, Ter Stegen would have been beaten..

 

[Garethw]

I miss Fellaini's character and mentality.

At least he always gave 100% every game which is a damn site more than a lot of this group muster up.

 

[GhastlyHun]

It's in-form Barca with in-form Messi. Don't be so harsh on your players, they do that to other teams.

 

[Patrick08]

See the amount of players who follow up the run there with de gea save and lingard and mctominay with no support on rashford chance

 

[DocRockter]

Dave should had stopped both.. i'd brake Messi's leg if he wasn't playing "them" next..

 

[Adam-Utd]

I know it's Messi, but Fred got beat so cheaply for that first goal. Obviously Young needs to do a better clearance, but yeah.

While that’s true, messi has made better players than Fred look a mug. It’s more on young dithering and the defence not pushing out to block the shot imo.

 

[Schmeichel=God]

Take off lingard for sanchez

I've no problem with this! Let's see what he's made of, even if he is at 60% or whatever...(otherwise known as throw him to the lions for his demise in front of the world.)

....but, but no one will buy him then....

ok keep him warm on the bench

 

[Inigo Montoya]

Never could understand why Daley wasnt kept, the only pkayer with passion, heart and a brain.

That was Jose at his stupid worst! He’s kept Juve at bay with ease!

 

[JJ12]

How many of them spend £100+ million every season?

So we are a club capable of reaching the quarters and spend millions. Wish I supported Accrington now.

Travesty.

 

[Stretfordender]

Someone turn the lights on with Martial, never turns up.

 

[Irwin99]

There’s the problem though, we don’t take the chances. Rashford is not a natural finisher, I don’t care what anyone says.

Agree but at least he offers something . Our other 3 attacking players have done so little

 

[VP89]

So future ballon d'or not doing good.

Which one? We have Martial and Pogba apparently

 

[Josep Dowling]

Exactly.

I’d say if we are trusting Young at RB because Dalot isn’t ready, we should never have signed Dalot and actually bought someone ready go start ahead of Young.

 

[PoTMS]

What about goals conceded because of De Gea? Or is he at fault for picking him as well?

No one's blaming him for the second. By that point the game was practically over already. But the first goal after playing so well is all down on Ole for picking Young. Entirely predictable he would feck it for us.

 

[SirFergie]

Yes, Mourinho is at fault here. He forced Ole to make this silly lineup

...

 

[Ban]

Which one? We have Martial and Pogba apparently

Both.
