Manchester United 1:1 Celta Vigo

Post-match discussion


Thu, 11 May 2017

I'm guessing this will be the final as well, us watching the other team play.
 
no control at all and couldn't keep possession.

have to really improve and solely focus on the final. United invited the pressure and just escaped. unbelievable.
 
Utter shambles that we almost missed out on a final against these lot.

We're through and that's the most important thing but the lack of ambition in our play was infuriating.
 
Look at all those Latin tears streaming down those Latin cheeks. Moar I want moar
 
Mourinho almost cost us the game. Fecking had enough of this clown. Sitting back and allowing Celta fecking Vigo dominate the game, unreal.

Is that telling of Mourinho or the players? He had the team pressing high for the whole of the first half and the whole of the away leg. You can never judge cup finals (or semi's) tbh. Smaller teams often turn up that bit more, I don't think Mourinho should be blamed for much today. He was bullish enough to take it to Celta tactically in the first leg and we should have closed the tie there and then.
 
I nearly shat my f*cking pants towards the end, but the feeling is absolutely fantastic now that we know we're in the final against Ajax.

We were so very close to fecking things up once again, but thankfully we had some luck for a change this time. Thank feck Guidetti is fecking useless :lol:
 
Skin of our teeth stuff right there at the end. Pleased to be heading to the final but let's be honest, that was yet again like from our lads.

After being rested last weekend you'd have expected us to be fresh, to come out firing but instead we looked lathagric, we didn't create a great deal and at times were on the back foot against an average la liga side.

We can't afford to go in to the final with this mentality, Ajax as they proved tonight for all there potential they are very hot and cold and can be got at.

Bailey will be a miss, deserved the red card.
 
Holy feck we are a shambles. This stupid insistance on defending for half an hour. LvG style.

Only because Guidetti is so shit are we through.

Will have to play much better to beat Ajax
Ajax are shambles in defence. They're easy compared to these.
 
Terrible and rubbish performance. Terrible tactics from the second half. Losing Bailly is a huge loss in the final.

All players played today + Mata should be wrapped in cotton wool till the final. We can't withstand any other absence of a player.
 
Good thing we didn't concede earlier or we'd have blown that.

2 Cup finals in one season is good going though. Fingers crossed we can beat Ajax without Baily.
 
SO much improvement needed to beat Ajax in the final, I got a terrible feeling we will bottle it.

Also IF we do get into the CL we need to become 3x the team we currently are, this current United team against Real, Atletico, Juve, Barca, Bayern or PSG will be like men againt toddlers :(
 
Limped into the final. We have to play much better in the final to win this.

Bailly will be a huge loss. Silly from him.

feck you Aspas!!
 
I want to vote Guidetti MOTM. Thanks for missing all those chances, the ending, holy shit.
 
Great to get to the final but sorry Jose, those tactics just aren't good enough. Inviting them onto us was absolutely ridiculous. You're giving them chances to score while nullifying our attacking threat.
 
Get in. I love this club.
 
Similar to our last two home games against Anderlecht and Swansea. This is the best we can do at the moment.
 
Would any other major club play so defensively against a minnow? I understand it's a result-orientated business, but can you imagine a Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, PSG, etc. playing in this manner?

or imagine Real, Barcelona, Bayern etc playing with Fellaini?
 
Someone needs to tell Mourinho not to throw on an extra central midfielder for a winger/attacker at the end of games. It always costs us.

Other than that who cares. It was a shit performance but we're in the final.

The biggest loss was having Bailly banned. That will hurt. Lets hope Smalling and Jones gather up enough match fitness and sharpness over the next few weeks to perform.
 
BT Sport's crying about Celta's chances is hilarious. The clowns obviously want us to fail.
 
We were crap. Lucky to be in the final.

Not particularly disappointed Bailly is out for the final. He is a liability, been saying it for weeks.
 
We've been so lucky in this competition it's ridiculous.
 
Is this the new United way 6-3-1 then switch to 9-0-1
 
It was a rotten performance but Guidetti stood up and took us to the final
 
I imagine the final will go like this: we score first, 1-0. Then we defend with 9 men, and concede one, and lose in ET. Would be the epitome of how this season has gone. Poor tactics.
 
Good God what a terrible performance, another one to the collection of "memorable home performances". Lost our best defender, and now we are forced to play Smalling/Jones in the final. The negativity in our football is just insane.
