[GledTheRed]

Cheers Martial.

 

[RedDevil@84]

Captain Maguire on the floor sums it up.
We played decently in parts and should have score much more and got the point at least.

 

[Ranchero]

If we play with McTominay and Fred and try to play for a draw in Leipzig, I will go bezerk.

 

[Wilt]

Ole threw the dice ...it came up 13

 

[Andycoleno9]

So we have to go to Germany and win ?
God,what a fecking annoying team.

Draw is enough

 

[MrBest]

Absolute jokers to blame this on Ole!

We shouldve been 2 maybe even 3 goals clear now if Tony could put the ball in the net!

But yes, let’s all blame Ole because it’s the cool thing to do here on the CAF.

Atrocious behaviour

I think your definition of "atrocious behaviour" is extremely naive. Simple football sense would say take Fred off, he is on a hype. Everyone had been saying it since half time, but he dithers as usual. Why did he take our most natural box striker off when he changes tactics to hoof the ball in the box? On paper, we should be beating this lot. Yes we have been poor at finishing, but Ole is tactically inept and lacks any influence. I think the players look lost.

 

[Sassy Colin]

Sorry guys, we ain't getting through this group.

 

[TheRedDevil2019]

Hope we get this team of actors in the knockout and spank em. Really don't deserve this result. PSG are shameless. Full of diva's and players like Neymar that have no integrity.

 

[Jonno]

Unforgivable not subbing Fred

 

[Heinzesight]

If we play with McTominay and Fred and try to play for a draw in Leipzig, I will go bezerk.

No Fred.

 

[Robaldo]

I do not trust this team going into a game we cannot lose, bar a couple, they're all bottlers

Yeah, like when we bottled the 'cannot lose' game against Leicester on the last day

 

[big rons sovereign]

Cheating bastards.

 

[groovyalbert]

Like it matters we aren’t winning it anyway

Against the team we beat 5-0 and conceded 3 in Istanbul? I think we've got a chance.

 

[bsCallout]

Can we just be clear the game was over before Fred went off. Ole isnt to blame for us not winning, just for Fred being sent off.

We missed our big chances thats all.

 

[Schmeichel's Cartwheel]

Martial.

Both, but Ole is the one who kept Fred on
The pitch.

 

[FrankDrebin]

I would rather be last in this group than go back into the Europa fecking league.

 

[Withnail]

I do not trust this team going into a game we cannot lose, bar a couple, they're all bottlers

This was not a bottle job.

 

[lex talionis]

Which rating shall we give Martial...1 or 2?

 

[12OunceEpilogue]

I don't disagree with either of you, I was just saying why I thought Ole kept him on. Would have taken him off ay half time myself.

I do think it's unfair to hold accountable Ole for a poor refereeing mistake though, and Fred for that matter. The latter improved ten-fold in the second half, only for the ref to stitch him up to recover his first half error.

The incident he gets the second yellow for is bullshit but Ole is being held to account for leaving Fred in the mix with a ref who is primed to book him at the slightest sign of disquiet. You may complain about that being case but that's the situation Ole failed to react to, so he gets pelters for that (and arguably for the subs generally; Martial lasts, then we end up with Cavani off, Ighalo on etc.)

The missed chances are 100% on the players and Ole deserves credit for overseeing that dominant second half display.

 

[UmbroDays]

Missed chances and decision not to change Fred did us in.

But honestly I think it was not subbing Fred and putting more pressure on PSG. VdB needed to be subbed on.

 

[Chief123]

Bruno is all of us.

He’s actually saying it because of rashfords injury. But of course another chance to bash Ole.

 

[Ranchero]

While we are at it... Henderson for DDG. DDG has had a free pass for too long.

 

[Anustart89]

If Martial could score from 6 yards we'd have been fine.

But he couldn't and Ole thought that if he just left him on he'd just play his way into form in the last 30 minutes.

 

[Gordon S]

We were the better team, unlucky not to score, we had some fantastic chances. We still have a good chance to win the toughest group in CL

 

[Gavinb33]

1. Not taking Fred off.
2. Not making changes earlier.
3. Taking off Cavani instead of Martial who is an utter pedestrian.

He took them both off

 

[MZX7]

Most disappointing game of the season so far. Worse than the 1-6 battering by Spurs in the league.

 

[FrankDrebin]

This was not a bottle job.

Pretty much was.

 

[Gandalf Greyhame]

I think any experienced manager would have brought Fred off at half time. I understand we missed some sitters and players do that from time to time, but keeping Fred on after all the attention he received was extremely naive. We've seen this against Sevilla, against Chelsea, against Spurs, against Arsenal and now against PSG. We are not streetsmart, and our subs aren't managed well when there's dark arts at play. Ole had us playing good football today but his in game management was poor.

 

[OLLY ORANGE]

Ole
What were you thinking at half time

 

[kopviolator]

Featherweight club

feck Martial, Fred and Ole in a big stir pot

 

[NJM78]

Rashford Injured. Martial shite.

Cavani?

 

[Thiagoal]

If we play with McTominay and Fred and try to play for a draw in Leipzig, I will go bezerk.

They played today and we were dominating PSG for most of the game...

Anyways Fred is suspended

 

[GledTheRed]

Having a laugh surely? No chance he saves that 2nd one..no chance

Every chance it dribbled under his foot.

 

[rooney2009]

Can we just stop blaming everyone
Sometime you lose in football
Did not deserve to lose imho
We will win next week
Let’s get behind the Team
I think we played better tonight than we did in Paris

 

[mu4c_20le]

Ole shows his naivety again. As if Ighalo was worth throwing on. Just take the 2-1 and play it out ffs, we had half a chance down to 10 anyway from a corner.

 

[Schmeichel's Cartwheel]

True mate, don’t know how he was missing those chances.

Martial was poor but Ole is the man who kept the most obvious red card of all time on the pitch.

 

[iammemphis]

feck off. Was always likely after the red. Misses and the ref fecked us. Undeserved cnuts.

He also fecked PSG by not sending him off in the first half?

 

[Ranchero]

Ole will be walking off and asking himself: "Why the hell did I leave Fred on?" It is not about hindsight. It was plain as day he needed hooked.

 

[Andycoleno9]

Ah okay. So head to head goes down to goal difference between the two teams. Didn’t realise that

In all Uefa competitions is head to head. In FIFA (WC) is GD.

 

[pascell]

Martial needs to be hung out to dry, he's been absolute pish all season, bench him at the weekend.

Not subbing Fred was so, so naive of Ole and also cost us tonight.
