We're always vulnerable to such a well drilled team. We just don't have enough as a team to unlock such teams barring individuals starring.

Hope, We Lose
Experimental team, only VDB put in a performance to suggest he should be starting out of the experiments.

Ole's refusal to hook Mata and Matic means we cant complain about losing this one. When you keep them on when they're playing at such a poor level you dont deserve points. They arent young players learning and improving. No excuses for them

Thought we started well, but alas we were only flattering to deceive. Desperately poor result. The clock is ticking for our Ole sadly. If we lose at Everton, might be curtains. Not good enough, this...

Their manager must have studied us well and sussed out Ole. He’s been found out and teams know that all they need to do is play a low block.

I wouldn't blame any of the players anymore, this is all on the coaching team.

Two 10s crowding the middle doesn’t always work when the olé bullshit ain’t happening.

feck it, start San Pellegrino out wide right next CL game.

Throw on all your attackers, lump it up to them and hope...

Man United tactics in the second half of a Champions League game. Embarrassing.
He has no other tactics. He's the youngest dinosaur manager in the game.

Bye Ole, but the real constant underpinning our chronic failure is the owners. Remember that when he inevitably gets sacked

Pathetic , most of the good work from the first two matches undone here.

We are a very average side who get average results most of the time. Embarrassing for a club of our size and the money we spend on players , salaries etc.

Maguire having possession of the ball can suck any sort of joy of watching football.

It feels exactly like Van Gaal's second season where I could barely be bothered to watch us at the moment. We are just too boring to watch; it is the same thing all the time.

We look so utterly hopeless when a team asks us to break them down, there is literally no idea what to do. It's tragic to watch over and over again.

I don't think we tested the keeper in the last 20 minutes, even from range. Only one team seemed to have a serious intention of forcing an error. We weren't even trying to make the keeper save it to earn corners. Side to side. Felt like 2015-16 again. Van Gaal lite. Unacceptable and there's nothing you can really say to defend it.

Can't believe people think we're inconsistent. We've been consistently bad so far this season. I don't know how much more of this we can stomach.

Players were awful but there are so many times we can say the same thing. Ole loses 2/3 games then goes on a decent run but thats not good enough to keep his job. Time to go now.

I’ve been Ole in since day one. I love him to bits, he’s a club legend but I’m starting to change my mind. This is a side going backwards, quickly.

Wow that second half was so so so frustrating.

Its worrying that we had a full 45 minutes to break down a shit team with average fitness and still couldn't get the equaliser.

In all honesty though fair play to them they defended well for a half.

I've had enough of even getting annoyed anymore im just gonna watch Juve or someone next and chill out.

If we can’t counter attack, we have no idea what to do. All that possession & supposed talent on the pitch & still we created next to feck all. Pathetic.

Any idea what formation we were playing once Cavani and Pogba came on?Very easy to defend a team with no actual wingers, and full backs not good going forward. No idea how we actually were going to score.

One of the worst performances in quite some time. Their keeper could have been blindfolded and we still wouldn`t score. On to the next one

It's not just Pogba, the whole team is forgetting how to play football in matter of days.

Burnley and Sheffield United are bottom of the league and you can still see a clear plan and playing style. OGS has no idea what his best 11 is, who to play who were and what formation works best.

Mata, Matic and Fernandes all garbage tonight, Saturday it will be a different bunch.

The players are crap, but just like with Jose, OGS will be the one to be sacked, and rightly so!

Absolutly shocking. Not our performence, wich can be discused, but the things written here and match thread about players, manager and our club. Even that our own "fans" wanting us to lose.

The players showed their commitment to Ole tonight loud and clear.

I still think we’ve got a good squad but if we’re not careful the season will have slipped beyond rescue.

Writing is on the wall for Ole after that. Horrible performance.

Touch, touch, touch, look up, touch, touch, look up, turn back, pass etc etc.

Or he gives it to Pogba and the same thing happens.
