Gann:
the team did ok. so many new faces playing together for the first time.
big ups to Mengi. Donny as well was pretty sharp aside the misplaced pass.
Amad shows promise. his consistency need to improve and he has a big future ahead.
Elanga should do better with his chances.

Komot Amad there.

He dropped a stinker and made lots of wrong decisions. Lingard was horrible.

Donny was okay. He was left alone to anchor the midfield and he did his best.

afrodoc2:


Apart from Bailly and maybe Shaw all the senior players were poor. Mata and Lingard failed to control that midfield and considering the quality of the opposition i expected more from VDB.

Be like VdB dey hide from passes too

Hide from passes how? Did we all see the same game?

Where was Mata and Lingard? I won't be shocked if you're saying this in a bit to justify why Ole benched him...No player in our team today showed up for the pass more than VDB.

We better don’t do werey on Saturday

Rangnick made too many changes, we didn't press like we did against Palace in the first 30 - 35 mins...

I wanted to see the same energy but we only saw it in bits and patches...Disappointed that the young lads didn't press as much as the regular starters...Ronaldo runs more than Greenwood...

Oasis007:


Calm down..... we are in December ffs! Win, draw or lose, we've secured top spot already. We gonna play like 8 to 9 Matches in this Month alone, thus Players must rotate to avoid fatigue and injury.

No one said we shouldn't rotate. But that was an 100% rotation. That kind of rotation is not fair on Lingard or Bissaka or Luke shaw. Any of those players trying to get a place.

Ole did these things last season with Bailly, VDB, Dalot and Telles. They mostly played when they were playing alongside other fringe players. Therefore not looking so good. This I didn't like and I called it out. I'll always call that out.

VdB played the more central role. I expected him to show up for passes more

Maybe that one watched the game thru the water in his babalawo's calabash

People dey go Shiloh, he dey go chief priest side

patrickmuf:
I guess we watched a different game because VDB was class...It's not his fault that most those around him are brainless...

Rangnick, way too much changes...

Toh! He had a good game. Dunno the game other guys watched really. Asides that mistake, he was really good.

All through the game, that fvckin Elanga was a minus one but some of una dey blame VDB

Omo...the hard truth is we played 10 against Young Boy's eleven

The score could have easily been 7 goals to 1 in their favour

Hopefully RR spends more time with the players and blend them in

He's had little time with them so far

melodyogonna:

No I don’t think so. He was not awful like most of the other senior players but he wasn’t great like some are trying to claim.

Most analysts and sites blame him primarily for the goal conceded but some are trying to blame a usual suspect. Bailly and Greenwood were our best players. I also liked Mengi’s performance when he came on.

patrickmuf:
He is injured, leave my boy alone...

Na still for the same training him injure

Most of those young players need a loan move. They are so small and weak .

Also, Man utd should stop forcing some of this academy player, not all of them will make it here. Those guys are potential 15 to 20 million transfer income for the club if they start packaging them well like Chelsea does.

On to the next.

Hopefully this doesn't shut Ralf's mind to some players.

Because Lingard and Mata will get nowhere that first 18 unless a Bubonic plague wipes away half of humanity.

Greenwood is too lazy for a foward. Ole did him a great disservice by indulging him. No wonder Ralf said he must improve his physicality after the game

Partly agree with you.

I'm not against giving a few words have shown potential.

I'm more disappointed in the failure of the more experienced ones (Matic, Awb,Lingard,Mata).
I feel a little more improved performances from them could've been a confidence boost for them.

Some of our academy players are average and over hyped. A lot of them need a reality check by get loaned out.

Oasis007:
Rangnick: "What really was a little bit annoying was the way we gave the goal away because we played too many balls into the first line of their pressing area, and this was also the case with the goal we conceded.

"We could have cleared the ball easily and whenever we played the ball into the second and third line, we were always dangerous. I told them that before the game, but they still played in that situation, a five-metre pass, and they were just waiting for that ball.”

Rangnick blaming VDB here.

Rangnick blaming VDB here.

both VDB and Matic

Lol. My guy has no time for sugar coating the obvious.

I'm not sure what you were expecting from a DVB-Mata-Lingard midfield though

I didn't watch the match but seeing the lineup, I think it's a beautiful performance.


No be this kin Liverpool squad shop 7 nil from Crystal Palace, abi I dey miss something?

In fact,eh.
E be like say somebody mix the water with Omo.

I thought I was seeing someone like Isaac Semitoje in our defence wearing captain armband but he was white.
I also thought I was seeing a black Rueben Agboola with dreads too.

At least I don't watch match from the back of Sanyo black and white TV like some people.

Away from yesterday,can we look ahead to the draw for the second round?

Inter,PSG,Atleti are possible opponents.

We are getting Salzburg or Benfica

It would be nice to have a good run in the Champion's League for a change. One thing Rangnick would have gained from yesterday is the knowledge of who is useless and who is useful amongst the older players. I don't expect to see much of Mata on the pitch or Matic in defence any time soon.

James, Cancelo, TAA, Matty Cash, Castagne, Ricardo Perriera, Kyle Walker, Tomiyasu, Seamus Coleman, Tariq Lamptey are all better than AWB by far. And they told us Ole's signings are great. Ole signed Magwaya and AWB for a combined 130m pounds

Ofcourse i am seeing some united fans saying give us PSG, Imagine! A team wuth experienced world class players. I meed Ajax and Lille to draw Athleto and Benfica, we meet Salzburg and draw any of them in the quaters. Meanwhile i need Chelshit to draw either Bayern or Madrid.

For our players Mata, Matic, Lingard and AWB need to be binned. We need a another right back and CD.
