Ah come on. United dominated that game and created a lot of scoring opportunities, easily the better team and it wasn't even close.

CSKA defended very well and your 2 best players saved your blushes tbf

Can't say we didn't deserve the win there tbf, barring the save / block CSKA offered absolutely nothing going forward.

1 close call and it somehow changes the narrative of the rest of the game? Nonsense.

I was thinking the same in the first half, he doesn't look the healthiest.

Fair point but saying scarcely deserved it isn't far from saying didn't deserve it.

They were decent enough, United a bit wasteful and really should have scored more.
Certainly not lucky to win it anyway.

No we missed alot of our chances are were not clinical enough.

It's it was slightly fairer than a draw, which wouldn't have been unfair to CSKA IMHO

He scored but Rooney was still ****e. Lingard's quality was poor but nice to see someone running at a defence for United. Outside of Martial and Shaw, don't think any other player has done that all season for us

Young.

Do you support United?

Depay has been terrible and by all accounts his attitude stinks. All the hallmarks of a big time Charlie. I can't stand the idea that if you support a club you can't be critical of underperforming players.
Rooney has been getting abuse recently and deservedly so. You don't like me slagging off our most disappointing summer signing? Boo hoo.

No. They did just ok. United were unlucky and\or poor in front of goal.

We deserved the win, but we made hard work of it.

CSKA had one really good chance, United did far more to win it.

So not being on form in front of goal means a win was richly deserved???

One could argue scarcely deserved victory would have very similar meaning to lucky to win

efb

The draw was reffering to tomorrow in Munich to clarify.

RobertKK

It is great that Rooney scored as he is under so much pressure from being so poor in previous games.

Scarcely deserved - Lucky to win. Semantics.

Depay hasn't even looked competent. He doesn't have to look really good or anything like it he just has to look capable on some level.

Its not about Depay. I just checked all your posts today. Check them yourself.

Doesnt sound like a United Supporter

We definitely deserved the win. CSKA played a good defensive game but we're far too negative. In a more open game we could have scored one or two more goals.

And prevented an almost certain goal that would have been embarrassing

Defensive teams deserve the clean sheets for defending well- especially when they are a poorer side

He's right Flint, isn't it obvious? Can't you see!!? Come on man.

LOL Wtf happened the interview on BT there. In the middle of the interview they cut him off. "We have to restart"

Cookiemunster

Utd 15 shots, 5 on target. 10 corners, 69% possession.
CSKA 5 shots, 3 on target. 2 corners, 31% posession.
Utd as sloppy as they were in front of goal fully deserved that win.

RobertKK

Poor Louis, starts his interview is happy and all going well, then a sorry Louis we have to start again.

This is some of the most ridiculous logic I've ever come across.

That's one easy to look at it.
setting yourself up that way gives you little options in the event of conceding a goal. CSKA defended well but the writing was on the wall that eventually the would be goods chances for United at the end of the game. Even LVG's patented daft substitutions couldn't stop that happening in the last twenty minutes.

We sure did deserve it, hard won but well won in the end.

Thank God we won that one...great flighted ball over by Lindegaard,nice to have lads like himself and Pereira coming along.

If we progress from group now (as we should) I think a LB needs to be signed to cover rest of season,doesn't have to be a big name,just a competent left footed player who can cross the ball.

Agree. Rojo was infuriating to watch his final ball was shocking bad at times.

StringerBell

How is there such an issue with the name Lingard?

Especially from someone who has seen him play, or has apparently watched the match tonight since they are remarking on things he did in it, while all the time wearing a jersey, that has his name, spelled correctly on his back. Not aimed at any one poster, more the few who can't spell his name
