    BT love laying on the doom and gloom crap. Such an awful channel.

    Oh boy. That was not a good half.
    Apparently, our opponents today are a weak team.

    We have already rested Blind, Herrera, Valencia and DDG. I wouldn't like the look of our team with that lot out as well.
    I dont care. Schneiderlin, Memphis, Darmian and Wayne could have stepped in. Give another youngster a go perhaps. I see it more as a glorified friendly.

    They have defended well. We've played well at times.

    Think our wingers are drifting inwards too much and it's congested in the middle, but our back 5 have been poor with distribution going forward. We miss Blind or Carrick in there.

    No need to be a Fellaini hater to see it didn't made any sense for him to start this game and he just proved it.

    Need more width, much better/quicker passing forward from the back.

    Wish rashford / lingard would stay wider to give us more space through the middle.

    classic Europa fare, sh!t opposition, no buzz around the place, and just waiting someone putting everyone out of their misery with a 1-0 before moving onto the weekend

    Average. The ball isn't moving quickly enough. The first pass from the full backs is to the centre halves, Fellaini's is too. It's slowing everything down. We should grind Zorya down playing this way but I doubt Mou will be happy. Pity Rashford's effort didn't go in. It might've opened them up.

    Fellaini looks like a lost dog on the pitch.
    Mou keeps playing him because of his height, but honestly his weaknesses far outweigh his strengths. He's not a defensive midfielder. He can't run, pass well, keep the ball and can't defend as well and constantly gives away fouls left and right. Seriously how is he even contributing in this game? His only strength is his heading which we don't even require in this game.

    Absolute garbage. Stop crawling on the f*cking pitch. That was embarrassing. Zero motivation, creativity and tempo.

    We were turning the screw toward the end of the half there, we clicked into gear far too late though. Would expect an early goal 2nd half. Would love to see Schneiderlin in for Fellaini.

    He said that?

    Why is every pundit/journalist in England constantly sucking Rooney's cock? I don't get it.
    It's weird. Someone suggested it might be because he's the England captain.

    In control but for much of the half we didn't play at a good pace in the final third. When we play it quicker do we look threatening and from set pieces but we have to do that for 45 mins/90 mins. Not when we feel like it.

    Mata and Zlatan are head and shoulders above the rest of the team today. Not sure what Lingard is doing, often forgot he was on the pitch.
