The old Man Utd Thread

[5R7]

line up for later, shaw gets a start at last! lets hope he looks good and  we keep him, as apparently jose is thinking of selling him...and buying danny rose...you just know spurs would get shaw, and in a year he would look brilliant again!

 

 

[5R7]

ground looks a bit underfilled!? damn! could have gone to watch it lol

[5R7]

0_o...how...how did he miss!?

 

[feltmonkey]

Unlucky from Shaw on the volley, then unlucky again not to set up Rashford. Those two have both started really well.

[5R7]

genuinely,how can a player who is off the pitch, play somebody on side? and this isnt the first time ive thought this?

but cska didn't deserve that at all!

[Liamness]

Shaw doesn't track his man there. Can't imagine that will do him any favours with Jose. Should be ruled out for offside, though. Apparently I don't know the rules.

[Dark Soldier]

"A defending player who leaves the field of play without the referee’s permission shall be considered to be on the goal line or touchline for the purposes of offside until the next stoppage in play or until the defending team has played the ball towards the halfway line and it is outside their penalty area. If the player left the field of play deliberately, the player must be cautioned when the ball is next out of play."

 

Onside.

[Adrock]

I was about to post something similar.

 

He was onside according to the rules.

[Dark Soldier]

Aye its basically to stop someone on the touchline playing someone on from just taking a step off it to make them offside. Makes sense.

[feltmonkey]

Rashford is making their defenders look foolish.

UEFA have said the player with original shot scored the goal, apparently the ball never hit the other player on the back. It never happened. Weird.

[feltmonkey]

Well that clears that up!

[Mr Do 71]

LUKAKU 

[feltmonkey]

Good goal, lovely floated ball from Pogba.

[Mr Do 71]

RASHFORD 

[feltmonkey]

2-1 Rashford!

[5R7]

christ im behind by a min here lol

 

[feltmonkey]

How good was that by Mata?

[Mr Do 71]

Did those goals happen UEFA, or will they be fucking erased from history too. Idiots.

[feltmonkey]

Haha sorry 5R7, didn't mean to post spoilers!

[5R7]

haha, my fault for watching  stream thats behind! didnt even know i was lol

[Liamness]

Wow, game turned around very quickly there! Wonder how CSKA will respond, they have to win this now (Basel are two goals to the good).

 

Class from Lukaku, getting fouled and scores anyway.

[5R7]

when tuanzebe came on i thought lindelof would have gone to RWB...but that dosent seem to be the case. bit odd.

[5R7]

i think shaw had a good game there. considering he hasnt played for a while. Young is prob 1st choice LB(who woulda thought that!?) but he HAS to be 2nd, choice, and aa ferw games would get him back to match fitness!

[feltmonkey]

I'm quite pleased for Basel who have gone through in second from our group.  They deserved it for the way they played against us a couple of weeks ago.

[ckny]

You just know we’re getting Madrid in the CL.

[feltmonkey]

Wow, quite the attacking line-up. That's not a million miles away from 4-2-4!

 

I guess Jose is looking to expose a weakness to pace in the City back four. Matic and Herrera will have to play well, as will the defence.

 

The BBC website has for some reason published a tweet from some random scrotum saying something along the lines of, "three defenders on the bench - typical negative Mourinho." Some people just can't let go of their accepted narrative.

[feltmonkey]

We're either going to pick up an improbable victory or get beaten 6-0.

[spork]

Rojo to give away a penalty and get sent off in another incident. Or Rojo to be amazing and shut down City all by himself. 

 

Which will it be?
