Mate, why bother?To beat Chelsea?

Huh?When performing shite in PL matches I hope at times that it's simply because the other PL teams have gotten so strong, so it's days like these where I fully realize how pathetic we are.
He's the Jesse Lingard of right backs.Dalot - I’m not sure what position he should play on the right. Strange player. What is he even good at? He runs but not very fast and not a lot else...
Err........ if they score 2 at OT then we'd need to score 3 to go through not 4.I wasn't able to watch the game but it seems to me we have a much better shot at getting back to the CL through the EL rather than hitting fourth (or fifth) in the PL.
I'd hate to see us get dropped by Brugge because we went soft on then when we could have have driven a stake in their heart in the first leg.
If the away goals rule still prevails in the EL, if they score 2 at Old Trafford we'll have to score 4 to go through.
Indeed and Aston Villa not so along ago managed a 2-2 draw in Old Trafford. A bit of a daft statement from Pochettino mother when you consider much worse teams than Brugge in Burnley, Palace have already beaten United at home this season.They don't need to. They got a 2-2 draw in Madrid and I'm sure they can at Old Trafford.
We'll find a way to make it hard for ourselves, historically we do, if they score first, even if they score one before we get three it could be a long nervy night.Awful game to watch, but you got a draw and rested key players for the league. Nothing to complain about - no point in saying it was rubbish when you field Pereira, Lingard, Matic and Mata. 1-1 away is a good result to take back to OT, job done I'd say.

Yeah but once he had it he was desperate for the security of a second, because he knows Old Trafford is the best place on the planet to play if you're ahead at home after a score-draw away, but also the worst if the tie is level and the opposition scores first.
Without a doubt you're right, but given the team fielded I'd reckon Ole would have bitten your hand off for a draw and an away goal
He needs to be loaned out for next season; it's the only way we'll get to see what we got in him.Dalot - I’m not sure what position he should play on the right. Strange player. What is he even good at? He runs but not very fast and not a lot else...
Spot on - decent result. We were poor at times but we had a weak team out there apart from Tony and the the back 4/5. Horrible playing conditions, got to rest some players, away goal (which was quality). Ready for Watford.We rested key players so we should have a very fresh midfield for the weekend, provided Mctominay starts.
Even martial got a bit of a breather and kept up his goal momentum as well.
Ighalo got some game time and I'm hoping greenwood will be fit soon, so all in all it was a decent night.
I swear some of our fans have too much of a sense of entitlement, expecting a performance with that pitch and lingard, Andreas, mata and matic starting against half decent team.
Seems quite a petty response to that tweet by the Bruge account. Why did they feel the need?Tweet

It's a wonderful idea. If there is one thing this place is lacking it's a platform for people to criticise the manager. Someone should start a thread.......Why there isn't a rating pad for the manager? Anyone thinks it's a good idea?
Shaw was the third central defender, but was definitely the one given the license to push up. I don’t have a problem with it, I really don’t like it when we play three actual centre backs, not many teams do that anymore.What was the formation we were playing in? Shaw was like a central midfielder at times when we had the ball. Think this shape has potential but really needs the front three to be on the money.
Why criticize? Maybe he will get praised, if he deserves it?It's a wonderful idea. If there is one thing this place is lacking it's a platform for people to criticise the manager. Someone should start a thread.......
Maybe some of us have just got better memories, for every memorable night away from home in Europe over the last 3 decades there have been 4 or 5 abject performances away in Europe be it the Champions League, Cup Winners Cup or Europa League.The people who are happy with the result last night shows one how our standards have been dropped.
Getting a 1-1 result in a knockout game in the Europa League.
Ole had an easy half time team talk. On these performances, we do not deserve to be in the CL
Not saying there haven't, but this is not the first of the season, we have put such performances all season. What makes us confident that we can do the job at home?Maybe some of us have just got better memories, for every memorable night away from home in Europe over the last 3 decades there have been 4 or 5 abject performances away in Europe be it the Champions League, Cup Winners Cup or Europa League.
Confident because Brugge didn't look as good as I thought they would, and as soon as put on stronger subs we looked much the better teamNot saying there haven't, but this is not the first of the season, we have put such performances all season.

Yeah, who says Ole will put a strong team out next week.Confident because Brugge didn't look as good as I thought they would, and as soon as put on stronger subs we looked much the better team
Evra is convinced he’s a LB and he has asked Ole to trust him on this one.Nobody can convince that Brandon is a LEFT-BACK..He can do a job there but he is a RIGHT-BACK! He should be the backup of AWB
Such nonsense sometimes... it took them 4 years to have that cohesion across all teams, before that they lost many games and it’s always the same story. We have too many injuries.The thing is. Liverpool are winning things with heir B and C team. Because they are properly managed and coached from head to toe. And yes I know they lost against Atletico. But I guess they would beat Brügge even with their second team. We aren't. Because we have no proper coaching. No cohesion. Nothing.
