Interview on BT, the camera is pointing down on Ole. Makes him look like a little man looking up.
Bruno, Pogba, Greenwood or Rashford, take your pick. What I mean by him taking a penalty is that, just like the others, he could surely have converted the spot kick too. He wouldn’t have weakened us on the penalty kick front and he must have been able to produce more of a spark than what was going on out there.Who would you have taken off for him?
Also, encase you forgot, our 10 outfield players scored a pen.
I hope it fecking hurts, for all of them. They need to remember it and they need to use it.Seeing Bruno in tears at the end was heart wrenching. Gutted.
Sure ignore the rest of what I said.....I’m not sure what you’re on about. I saw the same team spirit with ours. A goal keeper miss after 10 penalties scored and all of a sudden they had better spirit. It’s funny what people read into it.
That doesn’t suggest they deserved to win...
We didn’t earn the right to win it, and we lost a pen shootout...shit happens!
We beat Chelsea on penalties in the UCL final but were far from the better side. Same
With Bayern Munich in 99. Shit happens
I didn’t say they deserved to win? I was showing that the stats were pretty even. Villarreal played how they needed to in order to complete against a team that has better players. Look what happened when Sociedad came out and tried to match us.It's laughable that you're suggesting those stats show that they were deserving. Having fewer shots, both on and off target, doesn't make you more deserving of a win.
Not that we were great, but we were clearly the only team trying to win the match before pens.
Don't be dense.Hang on, they were good enough to win the game but let down by their manager a few replies ago.
Where have I mentioned Pochs in this thread? All I said is that United is not Spurs which is true. Although we are becoming like them under oleSeems odd to "not give a feck about Spurs" when you want a manager based on his time spent there. Because it can't be based on his time at PSG or losing "against a team whom talent wise is inferior across the pitch" would be an even odder argument for you to make.
He seems to think playing with a severe injury is something we should be happy about.Strong interview by Rashford. It wasn’t his day at all but it’s definitely encouraging to see.
He said Rashford was offside, I can't find anything that replays the full movement. I just remember cursing this miss at the time.Not him stupid! Bruno was offside
How can you not blame a manager who doesn't make a sub for 105 minutes when his players are clearly dead on their feet?I dont agree with those blaming Ole, this is just one of those games where negative tactics wins the day. The only real mistakes were leaving De Gea on for pens, although it would have wrecked his confidence to pull him off like that, and starting Pogba in midfield. We dont get enough out of Pogba when he plays in midfield, hes very average there and McTominay and Fred both outperform him in that role.
At least against Seville it felt unlucky. I feel like we were worthy losers today on balance. It wasn’t like they cling on for dear life and their goalie had a great game, they were just a better unit than us.BT now going through same motions as against Sevilla last year. Talking about a lack of depth when against a side with a paucity of resource compared to us.
Rubbish. How can you pin this on DDG? We didn't do enough in the 120. Ball was saturated and it showed for both GK's.Imagine not saving 11 pens, and then missing the key pen yourself.
You can't make it up.
I just saw all but 2 of them absolutely stink out the joint against them. So much so that the Cafe wants the manager to go for not replacing them earlier than he did from options that before the game saw the Cafe kicking off that two kids, whose longest minutes in the first team came on Sunday, didn't make the bench ahead of them.Don't be dense.
We have a good enough squad to win this game, easily. Starting Rashford was a mistake. Keeping him on all game was embarrassingly shit management.
Have a think about what you're even trying to argue.
The players out there weren't enough to beat Villareal? What?
Yeah in extra time they were a little better, despite creating nothing.I didn’t say they deserved to win? I was showing that the stats were pretty even. Villarreal played how they needed to in order to complete against a team that has better players. Look what happened when Sociedad came out and tried to match us.
For what it’s worth, they probably looked more like scoring in extra time.
McTominay, who was our best player. That McTominay?I think Matic experience would have helped in midfield. Should have started instead of Mctominay.
We literally say the "must have a good transfer window" every season, and it never happens. Will be the usual shambles. Lots of talk of quick business, then all rushed last minute most likely.As bad as it feels right now, we have made progress this season. We must have a good transfer window. Achieve that and we can challenge next season. It's a massive summer ahead.
That's bollocks. This one is on Ole. He set us up to fail and ran all players to the groundThe goalkeeper who earns £350k per week costs us again
Clearly what that game was crying out for was even less movement from our midfield.McTominay, who was our best player. That McTominay?
I think it takes balls to put yourself in front of the camera after a result like that and the general sentiment of his interview was the correct one. That doesn’t excuse his performance but it gives me confidence that his mentality will use this experience to improve.He seems to think playing with a severe injury is something we should be happy about.
