We're clueless against deep defending teams now? I thought that was against pressing sides. Which is it?We didn't create too much from open play yet again and all our chances were individual work like Martial's solo runs, Bruno's/Greenwood's shots etc. It's really sad we still can't create chances with patterns of play and have to rely on individuals/penalties to bail us out.
If we ever reach the final, we'll probably get humiliated against Conte's counter attacking football as we're clueless against deep defending teams.
This was more typical gassing out from an abnormally hot day, not a cumulation of games. Copenhagen tired as well. At some stages the game was at walking pace.The players barely moved in the first half. Don't think they're too tired after that.
When you hit the post that much you know the performance is first class.When was the last time we have hit the post 4 times in one game?
Are you just looking at the scoreline to come to that conclusion of a really poor match or did you actually watch the game? I watched and saw the opposing keeper make 13 saves and saw us hit the post 3 times. Total domination. Could have easily been 6 or 7 goals for us today. Sometimes they just don't go in, but to say we were poor in a match that we totally dominated and their keeper was man of the match after a world class performance is a bit of a stretch...Really poor game. Mata and Martial motm. Greenwood unlucky not to score.
Of course it wasn't as bad as the result looks, but also not as good as you write. They had 2 very big chances in the 90 mins and we haven't had that much clear chances before extra time. A good hit by Bruno and Greenwood, a good offside goal by Greenwood, some more distance shots (best was from Martial) and a superb dribbling of Anthony where he didn't shoot. GK was expected to make all those saves in normal time. We only startet in extra time with Mata on the pitch to create chances and it was the first half of extra time where their goalkeeper turned into prime Neuer.I'm sure there will be many who are over critical of this game and they will likely find something to moan about Maguire over. Truth is, their keeper was man of the match plus we hit the post 3 times. This game could have easily been 6-0. Comfortable win even though it took 120 minutes to do it...
This might be the worst post in the history of the caf.Also, Matic is twice the player Carrick has ever been.
Agreed. Deserved to win and played better, 2-0 would be probably a way more fair result, but we have to step up big time before next match. One more performance like this and we're out.Of course it wasn't as bad as the result looks, but also not as good as you write.

Deserved win but not a very good game from us.
From about the 40th minutes on I thought we were all over them. We will never go an entire match without giving away changes. In the end though, they didn't have a single shot on goal while we had 14 as well as 3 hit goal posts. I didn't get nervous at any point during this game. It was complete domination against a keeper who was man of the match...Of course it wasn't as bad as the result looks, but also not as good as you write.

Which Shit show? We were more than decant this evening. Was a cracking game and I enjoyed watching it.Just imagine watching this shit show, and have a gut to say no to Ronaldo.
Now? When exactly we were good against teams who sit deep? I mean creating clear goal scoring chances from open play with attacking patterns like City, Liverpool or any well coached team do rather than individual quality from Martial, Rashford, Greenwood etc? If we play like this against Conte's Inter we'll get battered like we did in 2016-17 at Stamford Bridge.We're clueless against deep defending teams now? I thought that was against pressing sides. Which is it?
I mean c'mon. We could easily have lost. The whole thing was thrown out of whack by the midfield problem. Fred isn't a defensive midfielder. And Rashford needs a beach ASAP.Which Shit show? We were more than decent this evening. Was a cracking game...
My days.Also, Matic is twice the player Carrick has ever been.
Put down the weed bro.I don't like Pogba that deep. His game relies mostly on out-strengthening the oponnent to make some space for a pass. He has little impact on the game, yet can produce a couple of great passes when given time on the ball.
I'd give Fred some games I his position as he impressed me today.

Funny thing is, United only played at an average level for the first 25 minutes. Most people would call this "settling into the game", but for united fans at redcafe it makes the whole match 'dreadful/unbearable to watch".Honestly, I thought we played well. Created chances. Copenhagen played blinding defense and their goalkeeper exhibited god-like skills today. They have speed. Other than that, there were generally ineffective and our defense held. Say what you want about individual moments, our defensive line did its job. I'm not going to slate anyone today. Everyone did multiple good things today, even if they did multiple not-great things.
Now honestly, how many of you were holding your breath when Lingard made that run?
Macguire for me is one of the best defenders in the world. People just like following loose media theories. The amount of responsibility he has taken since his arrival is immense. Sometimes I think people don't actually watch the games. He's our main distributor from the back. He manages to keep us in control in our build up phase, a task which is clearly difficult to do, especially in a full of players that do no necessarily like having much possession of the ball. he's essentially a playmaker from the back. We would not have been able to play the type of football we have been playing since the restart without his control of the build up play. Defensively he is very solid and handles both the defensive inefficiencies of our left backs ( particularly willams) and the passiveness of Lindelof. He's very consistent and composed in his role. He is just as important as Bruno, Pogba or Martial to us.I'm sure there will be many who are over critical of this game and they will likely find something to moan about Maguire over. Truth is, their keeper was man of the match plus we hit the post 3 times. This game could have easily been 6-0. Comfortable win even though it took 120 minutes to do it...
They defended quite well and showed how they got this far. We created enough to win the game and they had 0 shots on target. Yep 0. Our goalie didn't have to make a single save just collect a few balls. Neither Inter or us are perfect.Their game is mostly give it to Lukaku. Let's see how it goes in the semis.We didn't create too much from open play yet again and all our chances were individual work like Martial's solo runs, Bruno's/Greenwood's shots etc. It's really sad we still can't create chances with patterns of play and have to rely on individuals/penalties to bail us out.

Ok ... generally hopeless then. Must have been a different team who have been on that incredible run since the turn of the year and won more points than anyone else.Now? When exactly we were good against teams who sit deep? I mean creating clear goal scoring chances from open play with attacking patterns like City, Liverpool or any well coached team do rather than individual quality from Martial, Rashford, Greenwood etc? If we play like this against Conte's Inter we'll get battered like we did in 2016-17 at Stamford Bridge.
And to answer your question; probably both. We're clueless both against the teams who defend deep and who press high. And it's mostly down to (lack of) coaching.
