    Mata little legs are the best little legs at controlling balls.

    Jim Beglin probably posts here sometimes when United are down.

    He was very close to mata. Was a bit harsh.

    Mata is having a hell of a season. Uniteds most effective player in terms of assists and goals so far.

    Mata has been really impressive so far.

    They are full of mistakes at the back when pressed. Overplaying it and losing. More in it for Utd if they apply themselves.

    Clear cut peno but can't understand the yellow? Silly to have his hands up but obviously wasn't deliberate.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    No, it was a handball, no need for dangly arms.

    Harsh if his hands were down. His hands were in the air so not harsh IMO.

    It is harsh to be fair. The right decision, but harsh. His arm was just swinging as he turned away from the shot.

    It's a penalty but an unfortunate one to give away.

    He was close yes, but his arms were up in the air. If his arms were down by his sides he would have been fine but if you flail them about like that, it's a penalty every time.

    so, not harsh at all.

    Probably was a pen. Don't know why he needed to book him though.

    Because he has to. Deliberate handball is a yellow card. And when a player puts hit arms in the air, they class it as deliberate.

    Mata 's on pens. LVGs rotation system where if you miss one you're off. Think Rooney missed his last ages ago so it was Mata. Herrera is 2nd taker hence why he took in last game, mata had gone off.

    So it wasn't harsh is what you are really saying.

    It wasnt for dissent. He's wrong. It was for the hand ball. He had to, its in the rules. There is no discretion.

    They don't always give yellows for it. Someone else said it was for dissent

    Just because it was the correct decision doesn't mean it was not harsh. Caligiuri's arm movement looked natural, but the rules say if your arm is out swinging they have to give a penalty. It's a tough rule but that's the only fair way to judge it.

    Disagree with the yellow. Didn't realise he was given one at the time.

    No but you would be forgiven for thinking so. Loves his cards. Morgan and the hand ball in the box were never cards.

    United should beat this team in the second half. Wolfsburg could be 3-1 down if Rooney and Memphis were a little more ruthless.

    Glad to be going in level after a horrendous start, but Rooney needs to start contributing. He is on 300k a week.
