You know what's pathetic? Like, really pathetic?

Wolfsburg are the first team since Arsenal (and we know what happened there) who have actually tried to come at us and play some football... and they too have beaten us.

Played well and didn't deserve to lose. We're out because of the PSV home game.

Honestly, it was a good performance.

Letting it get to this stage was unacceptable though.

Bonkers subs, too.

So, We scored 1 goal (+one OG), in a game which was the most important in LVG's MUFC career.
Can't score enough goals. That says it all.

We desperately need 2 top class strikers.

Easily our most enjoyable game of the season, gutting result though... Bring on the Europa League!

Fair enough, we were obviously unlucky with injuries.

Still, it's not like we just fecked things up today. We should've never let ourselves get into this position in the first place.

Strange performance all round and LVG's subs didn't help things either. Powell on for Mata was surreal given the circumstances.

We're pretty shite atm.

Manager has to go. It's been shit football all season

We played well tonight but the damage was done in Moscow and PSV.

LVG was a shit house in moscow and took a 1-1 when CSKa were there for the taking

Bloody hell that was some rollercoaster!

No problems with us tonight considering our injuries and heartening how some of the younger players played.

We got knocked out because of the PSV game 2 weeks ago.

Frustrating as feck, the ball wouldn't go in. We lost it at home to PSV and fecked up in an "easy" group. Hope we take the EL seriously but I honestly don't see us competing there either. Hope Smalling isn't out for a long time. feck football basically.

We really should've put this group to bed a couple of games back. That said, we did okay today, shame about the defence though.

We are horrible when pressed. We are able to keep the ball because we are allowed to. The moment teams decide to press we are all over the shop.

The annoying thing is that we actually did fairly well going forward, but apparently our defence falls to pieces when we actually try to attack. No wonder we've played so safe all season long. Also, shocking finishing again. Like really incredibly poor.

Decimated defence left us too inexperienced . Attacked quite well and looked promising.

Unlucky tonight. Conceded from two set-pieces and a very very good goal.
I think we played well considering the team.

They call us boring but the rest of Europe will have loved watching that match.

Should play like that it every match. Brave stuff.

We are severely hampered guy injuries and lack of quality. Fellaini shouldn't play again in MF. BFS had a shocker. Play the youngsters in the EL as we have some promise there.

The greatest team in history
Most exciting game in ages... But we're out.

Weird subs probably highlighted a squad I'll equipped to cope with a few injuries which is something we all knew months ago.

Young players done well
Exciting game to watch.

Didn't deserve to go through.
LvG brought this all on himself
Mata is entering Wayne Rooney levels of form.
BFS is blowing out of his arse after 30 mins these days and had an absolute shocker tonight
