Scary innit, proud of each and everyone of them last night.
Here's an easy questionnaire

You're not a united supporter.
How old are you?
Have you ever seen a liverpool side so good that it made a mockery of us.?
A liverpool side that beat every team it played against?
A liverpool side that beat the best in Europe.
Steamrollered the European cup.
You'll go about Heysel and shit but their team was fecking great and we hated them for it.
The great team of Real Madrid got backpacking by liverpool
and we just went at it at Barcelona.
You're not utd fans. You never will be.
Meh
Yeah me too. Including Ashley.
Big question to those mid-30s footballers - getting old and tired generally mean slower pace, taking longer to recover your breath, can't catch up with those b-tard kids running at you every 2 min. BUT, your crossing, passing and delivery should be improving over time right? Just like golf, you can't play so many games in a week, can't hit as far, but your short game should improve as you get older? Somehow Young defy logic.
I don't think half of our so called fans know what they're actually watching these days, it's all stats this, stats that, Ashley didn't have a great game, so what, as a collective they did the club proud, probably driven on by the Captain who was erm, erm.....
I agree. It's a farce that he's been a United player for this long. He's had steaks of acceptable levels of peformance which get hyped up as something miraculous because he's so mediocre in general. He offers effort and drive but he's always been a football meant for a lower level who somehow nearly a decade at a big club.
Bizarre.
They did the club proud?
No wonder our standards have slipped when this is a praise worthy peformance.
Jesus! This is not some mid-table club where valiant effort is all that is needed.
Erm. Yeah. Him
Is the football forum safe now?
It's fecking Barcelona.with Messi at its helm.
When was the last time time you've ever seen us walk all over them?
I was a babe when Robson did what he did against Maradona an company.
Then when?
Then when?
Good lord these deluded fools above.
So proud, amazing effort. What nonsense.
Came up against a team we were equal to a decade ago, and now scared of, barely worthy of sharing a pitch with. Sums up the downfall and liverpoolisation of the club.Wont win anything but a tin pot cup for the next 2 decades while we “go again” each week.
Young is shit, was never United quality a decade ago and isn’t now. Mid table prem player at his best. But big effort from the boys, they were never in it but yeah, so valiant. So proud.
It’s like you guys want to be shite, want to sit back and go “yeah I’m a real fan, I was there for the good and I’m still here now we are shite.”
Wouldn’t be surprised to say we have outspent Barca this decade and NONE of our players would get in their team tonight based on that performance. How pathetically mismanaged this club is from the top down.
I like Ole a lot, but him picking Young every week makes me think he doesn’t have the ruthless streak you need to be a top manager. Can’t drop his mates.
Pathetic display.

Who said anything about walking all over them?
So what if it's Barcelona? Roma hammered them last season. Villarreal nearly hammered them this past weekend only to mess it up but still scored 4 goals. Teams play football against this Barcelona team. They're very good but teams take them on. We didn't do that very well. I don't see why we should be proud. We should be proud of supporting such a wonderful football club and it's great to be the semis after awhile but we should be proud of excellence. We won't achieve that if we keep feeling proud of average peformances.
It's like Spider-Man, that bird was radioactive
What were you expecting, we'd just brush them aside?
95% of the forum thought we'd royally get shown our backsides last night, we didn't, and were still in the tie. All to play for.

Paul Merson (At age 51)

Correct. If anything the game proved that some of our preconceived notions about this being "Barcelona" were incorrect. We played a good team last night that was there for the taking. Their midfield and defense are nothing special and could be easily get at.
I'm sorry, but some of us live in the real world.
According to Opta, Young gave the ball away 30 times last night!
The next highest was 15....!

This is the point I often make when discussing football on the caf with some posters, sometimes they see things with no shade of grey. It's either 0 or 1 which I find nuts.
We lose 1-0 on an away goal and Ashley Young gets scapegoated again. You guys are pathetic
He's crap though. Lucky to be at the club.
Did you watch him?
I am proud of the display yesterday and I'm proud of most of the players. McTominay was arguably our best player.
However, Young was utter trash. Did he deliver one successful cross?
Well I played with a centre half once who forgot his boots. that may be worse
No one's saying we lost because of him. We're just saying he's a terrible footballer these days, which he is.
It's a club that's been mismanaged for years and 1 that was very much a mid table club at the end of November.
A wee bit of perspective wouldn't go amiss here, we are a fair way off being able to really compete at this level at this particual time, so yes, it was a decent performance from the lads last night.
It was a good performance from the lads. Just not from Young.
According to Sky I believe it was even higher. If that is not immidate retirement, I dont know
He's had 2 really bad games. But I wont lay into him. We should have got rid of him 2 seasons ago. He was clearly not good enough to be a starter so why now? We are patching holes in our squad with players like him. Eddy needs to get the cheque book out and sign a proper right back. We are so far off the pace it's scary.
Come on guys. He ain’t what we need right now but he has been a decent squad member for a good few years now. Yes, absolutely he shouldn’t be starting next season and we move on but give the guy a break.
Oh, i totally agree with that. I read a stat earlier that said he lost possession 32 times last night and not 1 of his 10 attempted crosses found a teammate. Pretty damning tbf.
Should be a thread for more stupid posts than this - will be very short.
Pretty sure plenty of yours would be in there.
I've never been a big fan of Young but this thread is pathetic and shows how fickle (or dare I say it daft) fans can be.
Young has been a decent servant of the club. It's not his fault that we don't have a better RB than him which is the reason why both Jose and Ole have played him.

Young works hard and genuinely seems to give a stuff about United, there are some in our squad who the same cannot be said about.
It really is not his fault that we have not bothered to solve the problem at right back and keep asking him to play there.
Blame the lack of proper in depth investment into key parts of the squad and mismanagement of other players.
For example is there who believes Young is a better choice than Daley Blind at the back - who was sold for peanuts.

Agree with this. His attempt at crossing or trying to take on a man, or anything right now is so annoying, but it would be like people getting annoyed at me for their manager sticking me up front for Barca and then subbing Messi off on 50 minutes instead of me.
Just 2 really bad games? He’s been thrash most of this season and his crossing is shocking. The amazing thing is you expect a winger turned fullback to be better at attacking than defending. But somehow for Young his defending is slightly better than his attacking.
