Depressing central.

Bring on the guy with the tash ffs

Olympiacos are bad but United are much much worse, by far the lowest standard knock out game in the Champions League for many years.

You gotta love that losing mentality you have there... At least... 4th is a trophy etc

Ha, start wheeling out the digs. I'll bet you'd love to have won that 4th place trophy come May. Enjoy these CL games.

Im a United supporter, and frankly Id be embarrassed if I stopped supporting a team cause they were going through a bad period

you see alot of younger utd fans have never seen the bad times, you have to support your team...wonder will many jump ship?

in fairness to moyes the team he inherited was poor. how united won the league last year is the third secret of fatima or something.

write this season off and start rebuilding now. not the end of the world cant always be winning, it comes in cycles. if yis start lashing through managers, especially new ones, yous will fall into the doldrums. anyway its not even halftime in this tie. 1 goal and everything changes.

This is great stuff from the home team with top players missing.

Will they be back for the 2nd leg?

Well that's your own prerogative

And I never said I've stopped supporting them, (whatever that actually means).. I said I'd be embarrassed to say I 'supported' them in spite of what was happening.

Guy I work with says he doesn't watch them anymore. If anything it'll weed out the glory hunters and the real fans will remain.

The sooner Vidic and Rio go the better. Both finished

this might be a minority opinion but i think both:

1. were probably "gone" (past their peak) last year

and

2. Could probably STILL perform to a high level now

IF

The absolute manure in front of them wasn't there.

Their legs might be gone but i'm sure they could still be a great partnership if there was any semblance of a midfield that could keep the ball and give them a break.

Here comes Manuel from faulty towers

mada999

still think utd can nick a goal and then win it scrappy at old trafford... blessed this season with an easy champs league group (as they always get)

kryogen

Yes!!!

The tash is on!

He has a fair point, would you spend hard earned money to support a team majorly underperforming week in- week out, even if they were performing well but maybe not getting the results its understandable but this is a disgrace.

Francie Barrett

Kagawa's body language looked awful there.

What, it hasn't even been a full season yet after about 20+ of winning constantly, regardless of how bad it's been going of late take it on the chin and support your team even if Moyes is inempt

Nuri Sahin

That tash is magnificent.

niallo27

Where is the urgency. Them players are a ****en disgrace.

miralize

They look like they've never played together...

jonnny68

The only positives to come out of this are that many glory hunters might do one from United.

Asides from from that it's been a particularly painful season, I have to go back over 25 years to think of a worse one.

Can you blame him? No fight in this team at all.

Hit mute on the TV, hit play on this and leave it on for the rest of the match

He spends £27m on a CM and pays a forward £300k a week. Naturally, he gets the forward to play deep in midfield and leaves the midfielder on the bench. Not for the first time either.

The only point there is glory hunting, lol look at all the teams in regulation battles with supporters spending there hard earned cash regardless.

Well then jump on to a team who will keep winning things to keep you happy FFS!!

Don't even look like scoring, disaster of a night

I am over 50 years watching football and that has to rank with the worst midfield United ever had. Olympiacos are no world beaters but their ten times better than what United have on show.
Major re-building to be done at United.

Fellaini was never worth that in fairness.

You brought the term up so to mock it now is a bit weird

You stated this **** cannot be supported.

Im not even arguing this with you, I couldnt give a toss who you support or whether you only follow and cheer on successful teams.

Id say that fight has been sucked out of them. Sure according to the manager we're constantly unlucky, might try get a win, try nick a goal, contain. Hes a coward and it rubs off

Utd were terrible last season aswell. How many late comebacks against ordinary opposition? Ferguson had the ability to motivate these group to play above themselves. Couple that with poor City and Chelsea sides.

Kirby

Moyes post match interview will be very interesting. Does he try honesty, denial, anger.......

Augmerson

This has to be the most toothless display in Europe for United ever.

Sgt Pepper 64

I don't think you can blame Fergie, Utd finished in the top 2 for the last how many years now?

Paully D

Richard Keys commentating on his own on Fox Sports. Strange.

EDIT - The co-commentator has spoke for the first time in 15 minutes.

Agueroooo

Excellent tactical play by Olympaikos

They have Carrick sussed..apply pressure and pick up the attempted backward pass.

three times its worked now.

I didnt even mention winning? Specsavers id say mate, i said performances arent good enough which if you believe they are you must be deluded.

aramush

Regardless of the result tonight, I still think United will pull it off at OT. Olympiakos are poor (I know United are too) but they will be there for the taking.

Not one single player has come out of this with any credibility.
