UEFA Champions League Continued 2015/16

[yuppie]

Should make it much easier for next week.

United have not started well, but have won 3 in a row.

Shame so many in the ground had left before that goal

Long way back home down to London!

[The Waugh Twins]

United looked lazy tonight but came off with a very lucky result and were pretty much saved by Memphis.

As far as tactics I thought they were awful and baring a split second at the end of the game so would have everyone else.

He takes Carrick off at half time to make a point that the German is his new man. Apart from the own goal Carrick was linking up with Memphis beautifully.

Secondly if you're going to bring on a tall bloke for Rooney why did he bring on one of the shortest guys in the team being Hernandez?.

I'm happy they got the third goal yet also disappointed because Van Gaal has got away with one.

Just saw this on BBCsport; Who is most likely to challenge Barcelona and Real Madrid in the Champions League?

and United come in at second with a vote of 15.2%

Now that's some serious wishful thinking. They will have to improve a lot if that is to even become remotely possible.

Lazy having 69% possession and 16 shots, ok. We missed quite a few chances. Van Gaal's fault obviously. Saved by the best player on the pitch, yeah that's usually how football works. And it's also wrong as many players had decent performances. Smalling and Blind especially are proving people wrong, albeit this opposition wasn't as good as Spurs or even Villa. I thought it was good signs going forward for United especially if we inject more pace into the team with Pedro.

Carrick was poor in the first half, he was taken off to save him. Van Gaal loves Carrick and has said so a lot that Carrick is like a coach on the pitch for him. Hernandez was brought on because he's a poacher and we needed goals, I thought that was obvious. Maybe not. You also have a poor memory if you think Hernandez is bad in the air, he is brilliant.

Fellaini was brought on as a last ditch for a goal on for Rooney who hasn't started the season well and got a goal. That in most people's minds would show that Van Gaal made a good decision to bring him on.

Maybe we watched a different game tonight. I'm happy, I think we've got a long to way to go but there are promising signs. We mainly need to get our signings right in the next two weeks.

If Pedro goes to Chelsea, we've messed up.

Utd are looking good only 3 games into the season.

Pedro looks to be on the way and I see the Thomas Muller rumour mill is back on. It could happen, especially now his mate is at OT.


This is far from Utd's best but on last night's performance it doesn't look too far away.

[Gingerfinch]

Hoddle said Utd couldn't win the CL, but if the 2005 Liverpool can, then anything is possible. That said, I very much doubt they will. A QF place will be a good tourny, providing they make the group stages of course.

Hernandez is awesome in the air, one of those that might be small but has a great leap to get up. His header against Stoke a couple of years back was really special.

Man United scored 3 goals last night, and they dominated the game. More importantly, they only let Brugge have one shot for about 85 minutes of the game, and that was actually a deflected own goal. Its clear that Van Gaal is building a much fiercer team now, a team harder to get the ball off and break down at the back.

So United arent playing expansive football, but neither did Chelsea last year. I personally think Van Gaal is steering the ship the correct way, the first priority was to build a defence, and he is slowly but surely doing that. And if Schwini gets fit, they have arguably one of the best creative midfield outputs in Europe.

Maybe a player or two of extreme quality away from competeing for trophies, but at least Man U already look like a side capable of winning things. Under Moyes, they looked years away from being competitive.

Thomas Mueller would be a brilliant addition, and personally I would break the bank for De Bruyne as I think he is good enough to get into any team in the world. Those two players would make United a real title contender.

I think we would see a few altering opinions on here if the final whistle was blown whilst it was in the refs mouth at 2-1. He seemed mesmerized by the cross.

Absolutely agree with you there Mark and I'm sure everyone else will too.

2-1 left a banana skin for a European away tie, so maybe so.

[yuppie]

Celtic started well, 2-0 inside the first 10 minutes

[yuppie]

Those 2 away goals for Malmo could be crucial.

Celtic let it slip at the end

[Gingerfinch]

Rooney finally gets on the score sheet.
