GWT: Champions League Matchday 6: 12/8-12/9

[Power Man]

Do I need to post United's goal totals in their last 10 matches? Or about their deliberately playing boring football backfiring in two competitions now? Out of the League Cup against Boro, and out of this one.

 

[MrFunnyWobbl]

United is out?

That sucks

Funny though

 

[Live in the Now]

Do I need to post Liverpool's record from this year's UCL? Oh wait...

Do you have anything to offer that's related to the defense of your team or no?

Out of the League Cup against Boro, and out of this one.

Who gives a **** about the Worthless Cup? United squad for that game was already telling, in addition to the player's effort on the pitch. No one cared if they lost.

 

[MJG]

I love United apologists.

Do you have anythign to offer to this thread other than gloating?

It was pretty much clear to every United fan that with the backline they had today, there wasn't going to be a clean sheet.

20 Romero
36 Darmian
12 Smalling
17 Blind
05 Rojo (Young - 61' )
16 Carrick
27 Fellaini
35 Lingard
44 Pereira
07 Depay (Martial - 71' )
19 Wilson (Rooney - 45' )


Sure doesn't look like a team that should fail to score against Boro at Old Trafford to me.

I've not gloated nor said anything irrelevant.

You should keep the thread on-topic.

I find it incredible that two teams like United and Chelsea who are top 10 in money spent, can crash this early out of the CL, play crappy football week in and week out and NOT fire their manager. Seems impossible among the other top 10 spending teams.
You may add a 3rd team with Arsenal.

that lineup looks pretty bad. League cup is worthless anyways. Id be concerned with how utd is playing in the league though.

You conveniently ignored the lack of effort I mentioned.

Awful set piece defending is what cost them tonight. Pretty much every free kick/corner led to a good chance for Wolfsburg.

 

[Evilo]

And more than anything, I repeat : United chose NOT to spend money on defensemen even though they were incredible weak and lacking depth. It bites them in the ass, everyone could see it happen months ago.

Of course. There have been a lot of games this season where they haven't scored, or only scored one goal. With players like the ones they have, which are very good players, that seems very alarming to me.

Yet you somehow showed up in the thread when United was losing. With a pop corn gif. You're not fooling anyone.

You do know how long United's injurylist for defensemen is?

This. It has been a problem for years, even with a healthier defense. Only time it's looked decent this season was with Jones and Smalling playing as CBs.

Isn't it the WHOLE POINT?

Also : LVG sucks

Show me one team in the world that would cope better with the number of injuries United have in defense.

I came back from the grocery and watched the second half, didn't realize that was a problem.

I'm very interested in van Gaal's reaction. Definitely popcorn worthy. If you don't like it, there are boards out there where people only discuss Manchester United, so it may be better suited for you. There's nothing else in my posts that could remotely be considered gloating.

Hey now, Chelsea aren't out yet

 

[Jussi]

You do know that there's roster limits? You can't stack up defensemen just in case.

It makes more sense for Chelsea not to as it's pretty unlikely they'd get a better one.

Hahahaha. Hence why you should buy defenders. In case of injuries.
