Welbeck. Well done. Plenty more to shut the doubters up of course

Stop asking the same question as me lol

Kerrydude1981

Sloppy from Evra

Jimmy Iovine

Absolute crap from Evra.

kryogen

Must say, its nice to see Moyes look angry on the bench. Looks more like himself.

kryogen

Hoofing it to Fellaini will grate on me very quickly however

Kerrydude1981

Has to be a yellow?

Has the ref forgotten his cards

Professional Griefer

Has to be a booking for that.

Kerrydude1981

The ref has something against Afro man

PhlegmyMoses

Ref can **** off with that. How was that a free out?

MagicMarker

Fellaini giving away far too many frees.

collie0708

F***ing ref doing my head in he is not letting the game flow at all....

Your Airbag

Fellaini getting right into the mix here. He is making a right nuisance of himself and the defense look bothered.

Good to see.

Kerrydude1981

Ref left everything go in the first 15 minutes now he is blowing for everything

Insect Overlord

Nice play by RVP.

MagicMarker

Cleverley has been anonymous.

DM_7

Wasn't sure why he went it Val and Welbeck but no doubt they were the right selections with how Shaktar use the full backs.

kryogen

Our tactics bug me, in general our players stay too far away from each other

Maximus Alexander

Some of Cleverley's long passes are shocking.

The only person who would be surprised by that would be Pro F :P

Kylo Ren

Please bring on Kagawa for Cleverley and let him play behind Van Persie. It will be magical.

If they can keep Srna quiet then it will be a job well done

Half time can't come quick enough for us

Well said!

No injury time.

Cypher_sounds

Taison not able to punch through our midfield yet.

jamesbere

That's fine I'll take that, I taught shakhtar would be all over us.

Would be a nice time to try it alright, nothing to stop it. Carrick and Fellaini should provide enough defensive solidity to allow it. Not like Cleverley pulling up too many trees anyway out there or Kagawa could contribute much less

Rayne Wooney

Shakhtar are really poor, they've no quality from what I can see.

Kerrydude1981

Playing alright,look solid enough when they have the ball.

Hopefully the ball into RVP will improve in the second half,badly need to give him good ball to his feet,so he can do his thing.

He really hasn't.

Very happy with the defensive shape of the team tonight. 4141 I'd call it. Looks really solid.

Was very happy with how the team held on to the ball up until the goal. They've been giving it away a bit too cheaply since the game has worn on though. RvP has been doing great work holding the ball up whether he gets support or not.

Our passing in general has been a bit laboured.

They've held the ball well but anyone could do that against us. We're doing well defensively but Vidic, Smalling and Fellaini will clear crosses all day. They've not looked dangerous at all, a lot of people made them out to be a lot better than I'm seeing tonight.

Looks more like we're not letting them play if anything.

They haven't clicked yet, not just in this game, in general. Some talent there alright but they will need a bit of time to gel. Which is bothering me also. We could/should be further ahead, not letting them creep into it as we are

Kerrydude1981

Looking at the bench I think its safe to say Giggs will be first on when the time comes.

dahat

I can see this Shaktar team causing us hell at OT,very quick on the ball at times.

Midfield is working well but Fellani looks a bit out of his depth tbh

Its guaranteed he will come on. Winning, losing or drawing.

Just hope he (Moyes) uses the opportunity to have a look at RVP and Kag working together in a 9, 10 scenario

BloodBath

Fellaini needs to work on his speed. He's too damn slow for a 25 year old man. I know he's a big heavy guy but so is Usain Bolt.

RVD420

Giggs warming up :rolleyes:

jamesbere

Fellaini needs to stop losing the ball.

Mars Bar

It really is only a matter of time before Shakhtar score.

kryogen

Taxi for Cleverley yet?

For, imaginatively I would wager, Giggs

Kylo Ren

Vidic is immense.

Really need to get a second goal to wrap it up.

Na sitting back till they score is the order of the day

collie0708

Fellaini is having a shocker loses the ball every time he gets it and is giving away stupid frees all over the pitch
