Manchester United vs Club Brugge - CL Qualifier - 19:45

[Stevencc]

Depay seems like a slightly better Young, one trick pony.

You could call Robben a one trick pony, his one trick is very similar to Depay's too.

 

[Stevencc]

Great counter, Depay had to score there.

 

[hodge]

wtf was Romero doing with that backpass a while ago though? Shouldn't have been a foul imo, Utd very lucky.

 

[hodge]

Great counter, Depay had to score there.

Had to hit the target and make the keeper work minimum

I agree, I don't like Robben either.

 

[Stevencc]

I agree, I don't like Robben either.

And Robben is a top quality player, so calling someone a one trick pony - even if it isn't true, isn't much of a criticism when it is so often effective.

Brugge is pretty useless in the middle of the park.

 

[Stevencc]

Idiotic stuff from Mechele.

 

[hodge]

Only watched the second half but Shaw has been impressive.

 

[GodsGift]

Aren't half of Brugge's players injured? This is a pretty poor scoreline...

 

[Stevencc]

That's a penalty.

 

[Stevencc]

GET THE FUCK IN!

Massive goal!

 

[JimJams]

Good goal from Fellaini, what's the '7' celebration about?
Far more effective than Rooney.

 

[Stevencc]

We got the win, which is obviously important - but we had enough chances to get the two goal lead that I was hoping we'd get - we just wasted them. We should have had a penalty and the goal we conceded was a fluke, but we did have enough chances to win the game comfortably enough so we have no excuses.

I thought Mata and Januzaj were pretty poor tonight. Rooney wasn't much better - thank God for Depay. Smalling, Shaw and Darmian were excellent again.

Excellent stuff!

 

[hodge]

Good thing they didn't wait a second or two more with the cross ref had the whistle in his mouth

 

[Nilsson]

Long live Fellaini!

Good performance, a two goal cushion is the least we deserved on the balance of play and chances created. Loved Memphis' goals.

 

[Nath]

Much better all round performance, despite making it hard for ourselves. Should have won by another one or two goals. The defence was excellent again. Rooney was much better and showed some signs of better form. Fellaini and Hernandez are two superb options from the bench. The two of them did well tonight.

I can't see us not scoring two in Belgium.

Very important goal literally at the final moment of the game with the whistle in the ref's mouth. We created plenty and our back line looked solid, Smalling is growing into a beast of a CB and shaw is like bloody road runner when he gets going!

What a way for Memphis to get off the mark with two fantastic goals - the first in particular was oozing with class. He can be exactly what we've lacked at United for years, Chelsea's Hazard, Arsenal's Sanchez, City's Aguero. Someone who can make something out of nothing.

 

[JimJams]

Wasnt that Januzajs job?

 

[sl1k]

Erm....

Needs more time maybe

His inconsistency really irks me, which I guess is expected to some degree considering his age but it's frustrating not seeing him push on after he's shown what he's capable off.
