Do you still watch when we're 3-0 down?

I watched it all as if it was some kind of duty.

I was fuming though and I left a few ranting comments on here during the game.

I did look at the clock at 60mins and thought, ‘feck this is going to be a very long half hour’.

I watch until the end. A psychiatrist would probably have a field day with those of us that do though.
 
I find myself turning off many of our matches nowadays.

Turned off after Young fecked up as I knew we had lost. I put on the Ajax game it was much better.
 
I kept the game in the background but stopped paying attention at minute 81. It was like watching your old dog that needed putting down, very sad.
 
I watch to laugh at how crap we are. After 6 years of it it's easier to laugh than be depressed.
 
I switched over when I heard Ajax had taken the lead. The stuffing was knocked out of us after their second goal tonight and it was a step too far which deep down most of us knew.
 
Watched just in case of a miracle and it almost happened as Alexis Sanchez wasn't far off scoring.

Basically this. You take the bad with the good and we've had enough good in recent history. I can't find it in me to be that upset about a few losses or a few seasons of tumescent shite after years of uninterrupted success. There are fans supporting teams who haven't and likely never will achieve anything so I don't mind so much. When we've gone full Leeds I'll start worrying.
 
I started watching the Ajax game simultaneously when we went 2-0 down, at 3-0 I shut the United game off.

Its way too frustrating for me, and watching Ajax at times play the socks off a Juve defence in Turin was a breathe of fresh air.
 
After 3-0 I turned to the Ajax v Juve game, which was fantastic.
Good on Ajax for beating Juve in Turin

It was eye opening to me Ajax's squad cost a fraction of ours but they play better in every area of the pitch.

Most of our squad needs to go and let Ole start fresh.
 
Kinda? I muted the match and went to do something else for a while.

Generally I don't care if we're winning or losing but I lose interest if we're playing like shit - and we were after that decent opening spell.
 
I watch every game whether we’re getting a dicking or not. Taking a loss is just part of the game. Honestly since the moyes days it doesn’t effect me as much anymore.

You (probably) speak for all of us.
 
I watched till the end. Never thought we'd win so it was interesting to see how big the gulf is and the nature of it. It's a valuable lesson.

Basically we have a lot of inconsistent players. It's an interesting question as to why. Partly youth, partly lack of quality, partly lack of belief.
 
You aren’t a real united fan if you walk out the ground or turn it off when you’re getting beat, just shows you’re a glory hunter tbh. Too many soft people on here won’t tell it how it is.
 
No but kept a eye on the score every now and again.

I've got plenty of better ways to waste my time then watching United lose 3 - 0.
 
I was at the match and tons left after the third goal went in. Can’t understand that if you’ve travelled all that way. Needless to say I stayed until the bitter end!
 
Afer first goal it was just lurking while doing less depressing things.

Thinking of supporters travelling this far, paying for ticket to see this shit.
 
I watched it all, just to see who was still trying in the end. Dalot looked lively, Sanchez looked hungry, and Fred was always nipping and closing players down and when on the ball was always looking was a good ball forward. The rest just felt resigned, and were just going through the motions.
 
Watched it all, it was fascinating to see how everyone shat their pants and forgot how to play the game after those two goals. A week's wages well earned.

Watching us play all the way through today was like watching a porno, cumming mid-video, and still watching to the end.
 
Watched till the final whistle, feeling numb even though I never expected us to beat Barca.
By watched, I mean I was looking towards my tele but thinking about the numerous things we've done wrong since SAF retired that lead us to this day.
Since the 2nd half felt really long, I also had the time to think about how far away we are from becoming a force in Europe again.
 
Yes. I tend to watch every game to its end. I do it to see the character of the players, or lack of. Always looking to make judgements of the team, the tactics, etc. There's positives and negatives to see from each game.
 
This is how it went. watched messi twat us, watched shootinho do the only good thing i ever see shootinho do these days against us, went to juve-ajax, turned back a few times only to see us give the ball away and switched back to watch ajax give juve (and us!) a footballing lesson.
 
Sometimes, if we are still showing balls. This time I didn't as I prioritized things I had to do, that I intended to miss.

Tbh, this game frustrated me, it highlighted even more that there players in the first eleven who shouldn't have been sold years ago. We haven't become 4-6th best team in the league overnight.
The club needs a huge overhaul, staff, board and players. It's become an easy cheque for everyone at United, it needs to stop!
 
For the Barca game I was in a mission on Division 2 when it started and by the time the mission finished and I could watch we were 2-0 down. I turned off after the third because I had stuff to watch with the wife.
 
As soon as I observed that we was unable to play through the high press I already knew it was curtains. Then not long after Young decides to test his cryuff turn and lose possession.

Im also getting sick and tired of Ole consistently giving these under performing players more mins on field. We need a manager who has more conviction in his actions, Ole comes across as very compassionate ultimately he needs to have abit of fire in him because when it's all said and done if the players aren't on song it will cost him the job.
 
Depends on the time. Games are on late here (or very early) so if like today the game is finished as a contest before it actually ends and I'm tired I'll likely go to bed.
 
I stayed in Old Trafford when we were conceding goals vs City in the 6-1 defeat on my birthday.

Watching this is nothing despite it being over after 20 minutes.
