    Positives- De Gea playing as well now as he ever has for Utd…..two great stops so far……that’s about it!

    Negatives- Pogba keeps trying Hollywood passes which spend ages in the air.

    Dalot allowing himself to be ran at too much,Varane a bit unsure of himself considering the player he is.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,978 ✭✭✭BenK


    We just seem like a really unbalanced team with no real identifiable approach to the game.



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,192 ✭✭✭Quags


    Greenwood looks like he doesnt care about defending so far tonight, leaving Dalot to fend for himself. Once we get to the final 3rd we just ponder with the ball and pass it back and forth then lose it

    How on earth are we not behind… shocking stuff here

    Jaysus Varane. Supposed to be the composed one



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,988 ✭✭✭FourFourRED


    If Dutch Dan James was any good we’d be a couple down by now



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,978 ✭✭✭BenK


    You have to feel a bit for Dalot, he's not getting much help out there. Villareal look like such a better coached team. Moreno starts for them FFS.



  • Registered Users Posts: 5,346 ✭✭✭Quandary


    Villareal look very comfortable here.

    It’s mad to think they’re in the bottom half of The La Liga table.

    incredible how effective a competent coach can be.

    This is embarrassing. Ole hasn't a clue.

    Not quite sure how it's still 0-0

    Ole's got this all wrong. McTominay hanging back as Pogba has been given licence to roam. Leaving McTominay with two players to worry about, just then he drifted wide to pick up one of them and Pogba, in fairness to him, had just been very advanced and sprinted back to pick up the second. This is getting the worst out of both players, McTominay is nullified and Pogba is going to be gassed in no time.

    Add to that the right side being an open door and Villarreal must be pinching themselves. If we make it to half time at 0-0 and Ole comes out with the same set up in the 2nd half there will be major questions raised about his ability to read the game.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,025 ✭✭✭FrankN1


    Why is McT not trying to get the ball instead of being glued to their number 9



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,493 ✭✭✭EltonJohn69


    Have Utd already ruined Varane ?



  • Registered Users Posts: 8,500 ✭✭✭Your Airbag


    On the plus side Sancho has twice shown glimpses of the wide player we were hoping for.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,114 ✭✭✭El Gato De Negocios


    If villareal were any use we'd be dead and buried at this point. We've reverted to fcuking hoof ball. They are incredibly limited top to bottom more or less but they are very well coached and playing as a team. If they score we are banjoed.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,945 ✭✭✭✭scudzilla


    Only 15 mins to hold out until Half time then Ole can use his tactical magic and change things around....oh, wait 🙄


    I'd seriously take us getting a thumping tonight if it guaranteed us getting rid of Ole tomorrow, thats how pissed off i am with him



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,149 ✭✭✭piplip87


    McTominay should be dropping between Varane and Lindelof when we are attacking. I like the 4141 we are trying to play but need a much better defensive minded CDM.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,988 ✭✭✭FourFourRED




  • Registered Users Posts: 8,500 ✭✭✭Your Airbag


    McTom told to man mark as Pogbas job is to make a goal. Varane looked under pressue there but the setup has the entire team under pressue. Not good.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,667 ✭✭✭Whatsisname


    I can’t remember the exact number but I swear I read he made like 20 odd passes at the weekend.

    Thank god Villareal aren't taking their chances could easily be 2 or 3 goals down



  • Site Banned Posts: 20,685 ✭✭✭✭Weepsie


    I don't think dalot is doing anything different to what Shaw does. Stands off, allows either the cross from deep or ran at them and be left with an angle.


    He's getting zero help from greenwood and McTominay and Pogba may as well not be there when Villareal are attacking



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,114 ✭✭✭El Gato De Negocios


    First shot on target for us after 37 minutes. And it was as much a hit and hope as anything.

    Standard Oleball.



  • Registered Users Posts: 8,369 ✭✭✭Rossi IRL


    Only positives for me so far are De Gea and Sancho.


    Sancho looking better than what he has previously shown.


    Dalot getting ripped to bits down the wing but getting no help from Greenwood.



  • Registered Users Posts: 8,500 ✭✭✭Your Airbag


    Ronaldo getting no service. Pogba shooting out of desperation there as nothing else was on. This is playing right into Villarreals hands. Ole needs to react at HT other wise it will be two losses and a very likely early UCL exit.



  • Posts: 0 Keith Low Baton


    That was our first chance on target at home in a major CL tie

    So so poor but a norm



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,667 ✭✭✭Whatsisname




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 584 ✭✭✭Paul MCM


    Shocking again at the back

    How bad can this get without conceding



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,988 ✭✭✭FourFourRED


    Villarreal are dreadful



  • Posts: 0 Keith Low Baton


    I swear it's like rewatching the Villa game again



  • Registered Users Posts: 8,500 ✭✭✭Your Airbag


    Pogba almost picking the lock there, would have been daylight robbery.



  • Registered Users Posts: 7,054 ✭✭✭wanderer100


    We’ve been torn apart in this first half.

    So so lucky not to be atleast 2 goals down



  • Registered Users Posts: 5,924 ✭✭✭KH25


    We’re pushing everyone forward but doing nothing with the ball.

  • Registered Users Posts: 13,151 ✭✭✭✭JRant


    Donny for Pogba at halftime please. Let him slot in beside McTominay and he will use the ball far better than Pogba to bring the likes of Bruno, Sancho and Greenwood into the game.

    "Well, yeah, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man"



  • Site Banned Posts: 20,685 ✭✭✭✭Weepsie


    Keeper 100% had that. It was another moment of Pogba trying the glory and only for Moreno is a bit thick it made it look a lot more dangerous than it was.



  • Site Banned Posts: 20,685 ✭✭✭✭Weepsie


    McTominay. Criminal there



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,345 ✭✭✭✭PARlance


    One of the speculative balls might pay off soon though. Maybe

    We're being outplayed by a team who didn't come to play.



  • Registered Users Posts: 493 ✭✭BobHopeless


    Sancho very poor yet again.

    Another cracking save from De Gea

    we could be 5 down at this stage



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,593 ✭✭✭kingshankly


    Villarreal are clueless in front of goal



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,271 ✭✭✭Tandey


    The midfield isn't working. Greenwood way too far forward. How it's not been rectified by now is baffling.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,028 ✭✭✭PsychoPete


    De Gea pulling off some massive saves, keeping united in the game



  • Posts: 0 Keith Low Baton


    OLE OUT



  • Registered Users Posts: 5,924 ✭✭✭KH25


    Watching this, I’d swear we were 1-0 down in the 90th minute. Throwing everyone forward and ignoring defending.



  • Registered Users Posts: 8,500 ✭✭✭Your Airbag


    On the last attack it was almost 2v1. Sancho, CR7, Bruno, Pogba and Greenwood had all stayed forward. 5 of the 10 outfield players. If Ole's gone for you score 4 we'll score 5 approach someone needs to have a word that only works if your creating chances. Villarreal are shutting us down easily.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,667 ✭✭✭Whatsisname


    Our game plan seems to be “we have 5 attacking players so that means we’ll win right?” Absolutely no plan going forward or backwards. It’s all so frantic. We could genuinely be 4-0 down.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,535 ✭✭✭Dave0301


    Absolute shambles of a half.

    Standard enough at this stage though.



  • Registered Users Posts: 5,346 ✭✭✭Quandary


    i honestly don’t know how Ole can be defended by anyone at this stage. How Villareal are not a couple of goals to the good is incredible.

    Utd might well go on to win but this has been embarrassing.
