In the end, after the disgraceful mix of knee jerk reactions, agenda driven analysis and just plain banter, the fact remains that we played the best team in the world and not shekpe fc. For all the noise about how we set up defensively in the 1st half, na offside goal them use break us down. There's no way I am reading everything written in the last few pages, but I doubt anyone talked about how easy it was to alternate between 352 and 433... Noise makers go come here come banter, some people go join them dey do prophet of doom with all the unnecessary I TOLD YOU SO's If by now you still cannot see and appreciate the direction this team is heading, carry on. Your eyes will open soon enough |

Leyqute:we didn't sit back and allow Madrid to attack us.some bonehead plays from a few Guys but we attacked right back too. the game just shows the kind gap between the English teams an the top European sides. the top team in epl will suffer the same fate if not more sef. they don't have gidigbo football as back up. |

Leyqute: I dey tell you. We have the Qualities to wither the Madrid Storm, yet he chose to hide under a Canopy! If United wish to go far in the Champions League, then JM needs to change his Mentality and tactical Plans against the Big Teams. I'm ain't a Mourinholic, and ain't gonna lick his Ass..... if he fails to change his mentality and tactical Plans against Big Teams, I would happily hope the Club does not renew his Contract. |

eph12: Honestly, the tactics is so annoying... we couldn't even hold the ball for straight 10 mins.... what kind of stup!d tactics is Mou playing sef? Even after they scored, within the blink of an eye, they were with the ball again.. I hate Mous tactics!, everyone is now riding on the excuse of Madrid being the best in the world but we could have beaten them well.... why on earth has Rashford not improved his finishing? we are gon' see a lot of heartbreaking misses this season from him and Lukaku .... Why use Lingard when Martial is there? the boy aint aggressive enough sef.... See how Carvajal was having fun there.. Valencia taught Marcelo a lesson though ... let Mou continue with his stup!d tough love management and park bus tactics, it's only a matter of time before there'll be a rebellion like there was at Madrid and Chelsea. |

Dudes should stop blaming the Loss on the missed Chances by Lukaku and Rashford respectively. United have Bar and De Gea to thank, otherwise we would have been raped by Madrid. As the Commentator rightly said; Madrid played like a real Team, while United played like a Work in Progress. 4 Likes 1 Share |

It's clear that we aint going anywhere in UCL this season b'cos we'll most likely park bus against every team..... The only reason United beat Chelsea last season was b'cos the players had a personal score to settle.... Must united always take a hit before knowing how to play footie Last night match just brought back memories of last season... |

PietroRico: Manyoo had chances. That Lukaku Miss. That Pogba header. That Rashford one-on-one. Those were clear cut chances. There were a couple of half chances as well. I think Pogba at the edge of the box and maybe that brainless Lukaku offside. But to deny you were played off the park by a rampant Madrid is to bury your head in the sand. There were sustained periods of Madrid possession where Keylor Navas was the only Madrid player not camped in the Manyoo half. Isco Benz and Bale were constantly taking turns on Lindelof, and Pogba lost the possession foolishly close to his own box to start a passage of play that led to one of the goals. Just look at the move for the second goal, and see how your entire defence and midfield were opened up like a can of geisha. Look at the move that led to Bale hitting the bar. Look at the move that led to a Asensio forcing a point blank save from De Gea. In each if these cases, at least 5 players were removed from the board. If you count that offside goal, the pass from Carvajal to Casemiro cleaned out at least 4 manyoo players including all 3 central midfielders, Lingard and then Lindelof. These issues are what your brethren are complaning of...forget the 60.40 possession stats or attempts on goal..or even the 2-1 scoreline. Those numbers flatter United enormously. 7 Likes 3 Shares |

GloryIsaac:I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw Lingard while Martial and Rashidi on the bench. Like wtf! Who does that?! Our midfield was disjointed, though these 3 guys are only playing for the 1st time together against a team that have played together for many seasons so the gap and lack of understanding will definitely show. The team needs to work on its off the ball movement, it is still poor, and I must say our defending against corners was terrible. CR7 could have scored like 3 yesterday from that. |

Nihilstjnr:nobody is denying that we were outplayed. We hardly even touched the ball for the 1st half ffs. It was more of a system failure than any other thing, and Mourinho is the major reason for that, because in the end he chose to play lingard as an outlet in a counter attacking set up where the presence of smalling alone almost certainly means we cannot play out from the back, with a high pressing team. The whole outlook changed once Mourinho was forced to tweak the system, and personnel. I want to try to avoid over using the whole madrid already being best team in the world thing but it is what it is. In the end it was Spanish and European champions versus the team that finished 6th in England, behind arsenal and Liverpool. So I had really modest expectations. You can forgive me for choosing to dwell on the positives. We are not going to be facing teams like real Madrid in the league, so I would hold off crying till I see how we fare in the competition that matters. Even if Mourinho had started with and sustained the expansive football, we would probably still have lost. |

SIRcumalot: It seems you didn't watch the game properly. We were bold in the first 10-15 minutes or so and attacked them. After then the game became annoying and started following a more annoying cycle. It was goal kick - lose possession to madrid immediately- sit back and defend- madrid pass the ball around for some minute- madrid attack, lose an opportunity to score- goal kick. This cycle repeated itself until Madrid got the goal. We didn't even try something else. We allowed them to dominate the game and couldn't mark them 1 on 1, despite having more men behind the ball. Imagine. Madrid is another team with 11 players. It's 11 vs 11. We played this same team in preseason minus Ramos. There's a noticeable difference between both performances. If we want to compete with the top teams in Europe we'd better shake our asses and start looking sharp and dominant. This is not Hull City. 3 Likes 1 Share |

once we gel as a team we should be better,that Madrid team we played have been together for some years. Matic is going to be great I was against the signing but the few times I don watch the guy he dey burst brain. Herrera better return to form quick,all those 'oju aye' he dey do with fans no go work again. 1 Like |

6 things I learned from the Supercup game. 1. Lindelof is looking like a mistake. 2. Smalling can never improve further 3. We need Shaw back or a proper LB/LWB 4. Matic will make a difference this season 5. Lukaku is not a world class striker but he will acore plenty goals this season. 6. Pogba is yet to learn how to keep simple things simple. 8 Likes |

Nihilstjnr:I dunno where you are getting your figures from, but when 70m can only get you the Lukakus and Moratas of this world, then yes it would be unreasonable to expect to win against a Real Madrid side just off the back of taking the likes of Juve and Bayern to the cleaners. It would be unreasonable to expect a team that is still being assemble to defeat a well oiled machine that has been firing on all cylinders for the past 4 years 1 Like |
