These type of situations show Ole up. This should never happen to United, other big clubs don't make a meal out of situations like this.

Barcelona literally lost here 3-0 , 3 years ago after being 4-1 up. One game doesn’t undo the entire season. All teams can have these moments , particularly in cups.

Whatever the idea behind signing VDB chalk it up to a mistake and move him on. He just doesnt fit into the team/squad at all.

Zeek12

More like it!!

What a signing Cavani has been....

EDINSON YOU BEAUTY

KH25

What a ball. What a run.

He’s just fantastic to watch.

El Gato De Negocios

Facking beast.

Adamocovic

Needed that!

y0ssar1an22

PARlance

Whatsisname

Your new role is to only post when we are losing. Bloody rabbits foot you are mate!!!!

RobertKK

Crisis adjourned...

Cavani is just world class and great pass by Fernandes.

Should probably wait until end of the game to go at him.

Thought the Matic move was a good one and we’re now back on track.

Elwood_Blues

Now, go get your hat trick

Pipmae

Super from Cavani. I just LOVE him. I can only hope that Rashford is watching and learning from his movement and how he stays onside.

Indestructable

Delaney said before the match last week that we were boring to watch. 12 goal aggregate scoreline over the tie.

Pipmae

Careful now Cavani - mind yourself xxx

pjohnson

Matic has made the midfield way more stable.


The midfield was utterly shapeless/non existant during that spell.

not really, the team completely capitulated there for 10 mins.

thats on the manager IMO not instilling belief but the fear of losing

KH25

Two ridiculous cards.

If only Cavani was 28

I don't wanna give up on him completely after just a season but I dunno how he and Grealish were supposedly on the same list. Couldn't be any less alike if they tried. I think we should be going all out for Grealish still, he'd suit this team down to the ground. I'd have him over Sancho for sure.

PP offers something. DVdB offers a -1 team handicap.

He'd be playing for a better team than United.

For all his faults you at least know in theory what he will bring.


VDB isnt a 10 and isnt great playing deeper. His passing isnt great and he struggles to retain possession or beat players

Loved that, sticking up for the younger team mate

that still ignores the RHS though

Not instilling belief but rather fear of losing?

I can hear Ole at half time.
“Right lads we only have a 5 goal cushion. We’re ****ed. Just go out there and have fun. Maybe have a spell of complete sloppiness. That’s my orders get it done”

It’s funny. Team could play 90 mins of pure class and people will say it’s the players on the pitch not the coaches on the sideline. Then they have 10 minutes of falling apart and it’s hardly their fault the coach has instilled that belief.

We’re up 8-4 with 15 mins left until a final. Think we can rest on the Ole isn’t good enough argument for the time being.

py2006

Tis a tad worrying that we've conceded 4 in two games. Unusual for us this season.

piplip87

Fantastic by Cavani. Donny not having good game one the wing. You would think a Dutch winger would bring more........ Shades of Lampard and Werner here.... Sure stick him on the wing.....

One is going to have to learn how to manage the squad better. Look at City for example Sterling, Maharz, Silva, Forden, Torres all viable wing options.... Gundengon, KDB, Fernandinio, Rodriguez all options for the middle. Stones, Laporte, Ake all viable options in defence.

Ole hasn't a clue how to manage the squad. No point spending money on Donny to have him sitting on the bench while Bruno burns himself out.....

ngunners

Alex Telles’ positional sense is worse than AWB and that’s saying something!

Donnie started a champions league semi final at 22 and was purchased relatively cheap. I wouldn't right him off as of yet. Look at the difference regular football has made to lingard

KH25

Matic has been good since he came on. Looks composed and picking out some good passes.

S.M.B.

One more goal for us and Roma need 6. Surely we'd be comfortably through and can take off a few more if so.

were they organised with the introduction of 2 fullbacks?

if no, thats on the manager for not training them properly.

regardless of aggregate score line, treat every game on its merits.

anyway, final beckons. right now, its Villarreal

He hasnt played well enough to be the viable option he was bought to be imo

y0ssar1an22

and take off bruno for goodness sake!

Mitch Connor

Ffs.

And why is Bruno still on the pitch.

Father Hernandez

Wouldn't write VDB off just yet, he's shown glimpses of his quality IMO this season and it's been incredibly stop start for him.

Certain players take a while to get settled and I think a more technical player like him will take time to find his feet.

He was a stand out for Ajax in their CL run and made the Ballon d'Or shortlist the same season. The quality is there, just need to get it out of him.

Actually looking forward to seeing how he gets on next season, there's a player there imo.

Hopefully he can but hes very much the odd one out in the current midfield systems we use. Even moreso if we sign Rice/another #10 to shove him further down.

Adamocovic

Looked offside to me

Surprised no review

Pipmae

Roma have somehow managed to make the aggregate score look semi decent.

Next to Bruno, Him and Zlatan have prob been our best signings in the last 8 years. There’s nothing like quality experience to show you what you miss with youth.

y0ssar1an22

telles' positioning is awful

Feel like this is almost Kevin keegenesque kinda stuff

Tonight has really shown how limited some of our backup players are
