We just do stupid things all the time. One of their goals came from when our GK and our CB collided to both challenge from the ball. It’s so annoying we make stupid decisions and are physically behind the opponent. No wonder we get beat every week.

 

[Long_Harry]

Yet they made Bilbao look like the Washington Generals the other night....

With all due respect,Bilbao would struggle in the championship. They are beyond woefulcompared to the premiership.

Now that CL teams do not dropinto the EL the quality is extremely poor, and the PL overall isvery strong compared to other European teams, which is why we havetwo teams barely above the relegation spots pretty certain to befinalists.

Its not the same EL we are used to in previousyears due to the format change.

Not sure if this is a serious post or not

 

[Todd]

I'm guessing that's de Ligt done for the season now, so this loss is a big loss.

 

[tslklang]

Dorgu is not good enough, wild clearance lead to 1st goal, and didn't cover back post for 2nd goal conceded. Amass is not ready. why not try put shaw in LWB i think he can cross and defend better.

Amorim should put Maz as RWB and Shaw as LWB for his next few games.

 

[Moriarty]

Isn't it a bit arrogant to say Brentford are a poor side.

A good, modern side. A team of athletes who make up in strength and power what they lack in footballing skills. I can't stand their bloody manager though.

One of the stranger WUMs! Bilbao are 4th in La Liga.

What does that say about sides in the conference league?!

Absolutely. There is achasm of difference between La Liga outside of Barca, and even theyarent that great. Id have backed Liverpool to beat themcomfortably.

Arsenal arent that amazing and they obliteratedthe second placed team, who in turn beat their own 3rdplaced team.

The others Girona finished 33 out of 36, belowSlavia prague.

In the EL both Soceidad and Bilbao were destroyed by our 15th placed team.

I think any EPLteam outside the bottom 3 would beat any la liga team besides thetop 3.

Im not decrying the performance, it was a good one, butthere has to be some context. Brentford would tear Bilbao to pieceslike you did.

Im saying this and no doubt Betis will beat usin the final

 

[RedDevilRoshi]

Didn’t see the game as kinda zoned out now of our remaining league matches as nothing to play for in this garbage league season. Only focus is on Thursday nights with hopefully two games left to finish this dreadful season off with something to be cheery about.

I hope the De Ligt injury is nothing too bad and it was more a precaution than anything.

 

[Long_Harry]

That those teamsfinished lower their leagues last season.

In fact its an oddone, technically there are stronger teams left in the conferencethan the EL right now.

This will come back to bite me wontit!

How come there are so many shocking new posters then? Feels like the standard needed to get promoted is a lot lower than it used to be

 

[siw2007]

Another loss in the league, but considering the circumstances it’s not one to dwell on too long. I didn’t get to see it but we’ve scored 3 away to Brentford which is pretty good especially when we started with 3 rookies. Only real bother is De Ligt’s injury which we can do without at this point in the season with potentially two massive games coming up, hope he recovers quickly because he is needed.

Good friendly and run in for some players before the big one. Gutted about injury to de ligt. With Nous doubtful and at the cusp of injury will we see this back 5 on Thursday ?

Dorgu - Lindelof - Maguire - Yoro - Shaw

Pfft, Im a changed man. I no longer gamble! I was actually quite a liked oppo until I started! I was friends with redsky!

 

[Red in STL]

People weren’t doing that though. They were bringing the whole season into the story. If it was just being annoyed at today that’s fine, but when you use today’s game, ignoring all context, as further fuel to start mouthing off about Amorim, the 3 at the back system, the season generally, and everything else, then it’s just dumb.

Sounds like we have a lot of dumb fans, but of course we already knew that

 

[Ollie Derbyshire]

Dorgu is not good enough, wild clearance lead to 1st goal, and didn't cover back post for 2nd goal conceded. Amass is not ready. why not try put shaw in LWB i think he can cross and defend better.

Amorim should put Maz as RWB and Shaw as LWB for his next few games.

Should be Shaw LWB and Diallo RWB, we need more creativity.

 

[Jim Beam]

That took me to one of best afternoon naps ever. I try to fight it off but it was futile.

 

[Bobby_2024]

We can say its players but I am sure they can do better in this current season.
I am not sure if its 3 at the back not working OR Amorim's style is a problem in the premiere league but if next year we continue the same then we will be in big trouble.

It is so frustrating to see all the teams are cutting our defence so easily and scoring for fun.
Imagine getting rid of all wingers and then bring in a new manager who prefers 433, i really wish Amorim will be bit flexible and adjust his game to get best results in EPL which is our bread and butter.

 

[Crimson King]

Asking Shaw to play 90 mins as a WB after the injury problems he's had is just mental at this point

 

[Crimson King]

I was wondering how being around that long and still having a newbie tag was even possible after you explained how it worked. Guess now we know

 

[Ollie Derbyshire]

I’ve said previously he should build minutes up as LWB in the PL and start there in the EL final. If he breaks down doing that so be it. Our other LWB options are terrible.

 

[Cee90]

How bad do we think De Ligt’s injury is?

 

[Red in STL]

We were the better team, they were clinical when given the chances.

I was sitting right next to the away fans and they were absolutely mega, the only group you could hear for 90 minutes. Brentford fans are utter shit, mind you

If you think United were the better team I'd suggest you need to visit an opticians

Shaw epitomises everything that’s been wrong with the club. Strangely returning to fitness for a European semi final. Personally I’d ban all match replays from 2024 back. Far too much living off past glory.

That's just not true. It's took me the best part of a year to accumulate 8 likes and i added to the discussion for those. I have made a few stupid remarks here and there, but i didn't expect likes for them.

 

[TheGame]

Ok chief. Like I said, very different definitions. Your standards are low, and that’s fine.

My standards are low? We are playing a team with our reserve players who are higher than us and have had a better season. Just get back in the real world.
