PBP: UCL - Manchester United FC vs Villarreal CF - Sep 29, 2021 [R]

FT: 2-1. It's a win, a much, much needed one but that display was nowhere near acceptable if we're being honest. Genuine Moments FC at play once again today.

 

Villarreal will surely be kicking themselves.

 

I can't help but laugh though. Seeing Ole celebrate irks me for some reason.

 

Football. Bloody hell.

 

Happy to see im not the only one annoyed by OLE celebration.

 

The result can be celebrated but beyond that there is the specter of the games coming up, starting with Everton this Saturday.
Another game that probably will be a real pain in the rear, no doubt...

 

The man has muscles in places where most don't have places...

That neck!

 

Great deft touch by Lingard for Ronaldo goal.

 

That was horrible, undeserved and deeply worrying.

However this is going to be a barren season, so will happily take moments of happiness when they come.

I mean, what about a Fred first-time cross that lead to the goal? These are rare things we should cherish

 

What a ********ing smash and grab. We so desperately needed that result. Credit to #7, never count him out.

 

Dave is still my MotM: that won't change. Saved out bacon big time in the opening period. We'd been effed, if it weren't for him.

 

FotM (flop of the match) - Dalot. He stank up the place.

 

All three subs Cav, Fred, Lingard were key in the winner.

 

That 4-3-3 should never happen again. Ever, ever, ever.

And Ronaldo literally did ONE thing right all game. Lol, ******** you Emery.

 

Sad but what do you expect? Especially after the last time we saw him on the pitch. It's almost like Ole is taking the mick with him at this point...

This is simply similar to what Mourinho did to Shaw: there is no difference at this juncture.

 

Also, I can't believe I'm saying this, but Lingard has been one of the better players for us so far this season in his limited minutes. He's certainly earning more playing time.

 

Horrible performance all around. We're lucky to have CR7 as the difference-maker.

 

This is exactly what i feared, i said during the summer we should sell him and buy a 6.

 

Absolutely love this from Cav. Not on the same level on the goal but him fighting to get the ball back on keep it alive for us, is what led to the eventual winner.

What sucks is that when Ole sees this, it could make matters worse for him. But as stated, even if Ole's gambits worked today, it simply did not make sense for Donny not to come on under the circumstances.
If nothing changes, especially injury wise by January, the best thing for everyone is at minimum to let him go on loan. He's not playing/being useful right now and for him personally, he's got a potential WC spot to save with the Oranje (on top of just wanting to play).
I'd hate it personally because I really believe he can help us in a significant manner. But this is not healthy (the situation as a whole that is).

 

We are a bad team to watch.

 

Thank you for coming here to announce this. Somebody had to say it.
