[Judas]

Horrendous half. This lineup and setup has just failed massively. Look totally spooked after the soft penalty. So disappointing.

If we end up losing this 1-0 I’ll be fuming. Really gutless performance so far.

 

[stu_1992]

Shocking half by us. We looked shell shocked by the penalty being awarded against us. It was a terribly soft penalty though. Very annoying.

 

[Lewnited]

Sancho, Weghorst and Fred could all easily be dragged off. Awful from all three

 

[van der star]

Big second half for the gaffer, something has gotta change because whatever we've been doing so far clearly hasn't worked.

 

[Lay]

outplayed. Weghorst has been terrible, so slow and off the pace.

 

[Dominos]

It's hilarious the mental gymnastics people play to pretend Weghorst actually contributes anything to this team.

He'll cost us the cup final if he plays, it's like playing with 10 men.

Bruno definitely has money on Barca to win tonight. An incredibly dumb footballer in every aspect of the game.

 

[AFC NimbleThumb]

So that was terrible.

Luckily EtH has that half-time razzmatazz so I expect the team to fair better after the break.

 

[Back To Madeira]

DDG summing up our passing for this half.

 

[Trophy Room]

We’re at home yet shitting the bed! Polar opposite of last week.

We can play better than this. That penalty has knocked the confidence. Need to regroup at half time. Get Rashford Central.

 

[IFC 1905]

Bruno, Fred, AWB, Wout

all these players need to be replaced for next season, and that's the only way I can see us competing.

Today these players were championship level.

 

[Valencia Shin Crosses]

The fact that a decent portion of United fans seem open to the idea of sticking with De Gea is beyond me. Zero composure with the ball at his feet which is simply a non-negotiable nowadays at this level.

fecking half wits are clueless about football. It’s why they think De Gea is good and love Weghorst

 

[el3mel]

The response to the goal was pretty damn poor. We have been rubbish since then.

Better to wake up in second half or we're risking losing a very winnable tie all honestly.

I'm sorry but I absolutely can't believe they're about to get another one over us. For God's sake, I just want to defeat them once, what's so hard in this ?

 

[DWelbz19]

They’ve had our number that entire first half. Ten Hag has to change it massively

 

[Son]

That was bang average from us really poor. I think this might be a wake up call actually.

Decent in the Premier League but we have a long… long way to go to ever be competing in Europe in the latter stages and getting a result.

Madrid last night proved they just have a mentality that other sides don’t in big games. They always keep calm.

 

[Tom Cato]

Absolutely nothing they do is working Ten Hag needs to use his bigboy voice and get some belief into these players or the second half will end in heartbreak.

 

[Superunknown]

Started off good but then progressively got shitter. We have switched off now and need to switch the feck back on. Hope ETH lays into them. We're being far too soft when we need to be tougher, and then we're being idiotic with the ball when we need to be intelligent.

 

[Lecland07]

I'm not as impressed with Barcelona as some on here. They have made 0 chances.

We just need to put Rashford centrally with Garnacho on the left and I think we can win this game. We have already had the better chances by far, and should be the team winning, to be honest.

The bad refereeing certainly isn't helping, though.

 

[Still ill]

Barca have been crap too

I think they've been excellent. Far more solid than last week, winning most 50/50s, assured in possession. Easily the better side.

 

[90 + 5min]

We have been done by referee this half. I don't know what he is doing. Pathetic stuff.

We need to come back to our first 15 min. Hopefully we can turn it around but with this ref, I'm not expecting anything.

 

[Sandikan]

Probably as per most games, need to sub Weigs.

Get Antony on the right, Bruno back central, Sancho left, and Rashy up front.

 

[rajds89]

We need a ETH master class at half time because that first performance was fecking pony. You could easily take 3 or 4 off they’ve been that bad. So disappointing given the build up to this all week.

 

[Someone]

I think the problem is the PL is not that strong. We have done well in that league, but vs the elite in Europe we struggle.

BS. Barca couldn't make it out of the group stage in the CL while leading comfortably in the league. I think we're playing well against them, they barely created anything. We basically gifted them the goal.

 

[Marcelinho87]

Nah wouts got to go. Man's shite

He's done more than Sancho and he tore it up when he went 10# last time, I'd do it for first 10 mins and then make more if not working

 

[SmashedHombre]

Whatever the feck our game plan was, it’s not working. Don’t think Rashford has even touched the ball since Barca scored

 

[avgp_1]

Poor displays in possession, just can't be afraid to hold on to the ball and be patient moving them around. We have been too direct and overeager

 

[Fergies Gum]

Ref has decided this game. Nothing between the teams in a poor game except for his baffling decisions.

Not sure what game you are watching. They were humiliating us in that first half.

 

[George Owen]

Antony in for gigantor please.

 

[Slevs]

Of course we get the hollywood ref who gives us absolute nothing when our players' knees get kicked but gives the softest of fouls whenever we breathe near the holier than thou players.

 

[SirAnderson]

So will EtH make a half time sub?

 

[Frank Grimes]

Phew, thank feck it's half-time. Very poor performance.

 

[Hester_manc]

Hard to understand, why Weghorst is playing a game like this. He is clearly not good enough. You can see, why Burnley did not want to use him. He is a championship player in my eyes.

 

[Rightnr]

Sancho, Weghorst and Fred could all easily be dragged off. Awful from all three

Positive is that we have options off the bench for each of those.

 

[Jazz]

I want us to give a better account of ourselves in the 2nd half whether we win or lose.

 

[saivet]

Sancho in partucular has struggled receiving the ball under pressure with his back to goal. Weghorst simply not providing a threat up front. Bruno has been sloppy, missed a good chance and gave away a penalty. Rashford has hardly been involved.

The forward line needs to step up 2nd half. Would consider getting Antony on for either Weghorst or Sancho and brining Garnacho on should the game get stretched.

Really struggling from an attacking perspective so far.

 

[Reditus]

Difficult half

barcelona nowhere near as shit as posters were thinking prior to kick off. They look a lot better than us

going forward apart from the early chance we don’t look remotely likely to break them down. Sancho doesn’t look like he knows the role at all. He needs to be switched out wide. Rashford up front and Weghorst back to the stable


need to get Shaw forward too, which he hasn’t at all

 

[BarstoolProphet]

Only probably Casemiro comes away from that half with his head held high

Licha as well. Both want to win and are playing at a higher than the rest.

 

[AnotherLondonManc]

Only probably Casemiro comes away from that half with his head held high

Martinez and Varane have both been good. And AWB has also impressed imo.

We've matched Barcelona and we're unlucky to be going into the break one down

 

[Anustart89]

I think the problem is the PL is not that strong. We have done well in that league, but vs the elite in Europe we struggle.

Knee-jerking after a poor 45 minute spell. We dominated the same side a week ago. How do you explain that?

 

[Sassy Colin]

My take for the 2nd half.

Antony on for Weggy, Rashford 9, Bruno 10, Sancho left, Antony right.

I thank you

 

[Zen86]

We looked up for it before the penalty, it completely changed the game when it was given and we’ve been shite since. Barca haven’t been particularly great though, this tie is ours for the taking if we get our act together for the second half. Need some pace up front.
