Why do you want Sancho? I know he’s good but isn’t that your strongest position(s) that you’ve already got sorted, no?

No, unless you expect an 18 year old (who is arguably better as the main striker) to be playing every game next season.

I was forgetting that this was a one-off match rather than a first leg. It feels really weird. 

 

We're clinging on here.

Oh I dunno I thought he’d been playing all this season didn’t realise, just thought you might spend money on defenders or midfielders, you’ve got that cart horse Maguire as your best defender right?! The keepers terrible aswell now isn’t he?

I didn't see a replay so can't be sure, but I think there was a handball when Maguire headed it back across.

[feltmonkey]

Bailly has done a good job on a few occasions tonight. You just never know when he's going to do something mad though. 

[Gabzy]

Such a finish from Greenwood as usual, but offside.

[feltmonkey]

Great finish, but it's going to be disallowed. 

 

Edit - jinx! 

[Liamness]

I was screaming for him to square that. Yeah it'll be ruled out but good signs as this half ends, we're really knocking on the door. Took a while for us to realise we were in a game.

[feltmonkey]

We started badly, but improved as the half went on. I don't know why we're constantly trying to hit passes in behind their defence, it's not as if they are playing a particularly high line. We're trying to hit impossible passes. 

[5R7]

i can understand that ole was giving the first team a rest in the last game, but, it looks like it would have made more sense to have played the first team in that game as they would have a bit more consistency about them

[Gabzy]

Poor Greenwood 

[Gabzy]

Arghh Rashford is just not himself at the moment.

[feltmonkey]

This is getting annoying. How are we not a couple of goals up by now? Two disallowed goals, a penalty that wasn't because of an offside, hit the post twice. And Copenhagen continue to look dangerous. 

 

Great block by Bailly. 

[Gabzy]

Wat. Bailly has been our best defender, take Harry off ffs.

[feltmonkey]

I'm not sure why we've felt the need to make a change at centre back anyway. 

 

That turn by their winger is the best bit of play of the night. 

[feltmonkey]

Have we burnt out Fernandes already? 

 

Copenhagen look the more likely to get a winner now. They're getting stronger and stronger as the half goes on. 

[feltmonkey]

That looked like a penalty. 

[Gabzy]

No way. He turned into Brandon.

 

Does this game go to extra time?

Yes

[Gabzy]

Great save from their keeper. Seems it's one of those games for us  just won't go in.

[Liamness]

Jesus fuck, what's it going to take?

[feltmonkey]

Stunning tackle! That would have been a worldy. 

[Gabzy]

What.a.challenge

[Liamness]

Don't envy these players having to be out on that pitch for two hours, in this heat.

ah, we've brought on "The Nicest Man In Football" TM
