Athletic Bilbao vs Manchester United

Imagine we lose both games. When is the last time we lost both legs in Europe?
 
But its the same I'm every match day thread i.e. the commentator hates us, ref is shit etc zzz. This is why I generally avoid the spacker day thread though so with that, I will get out of here because its depressing.

GTFO then.

Why do you say you want to get out but still post here digging to criticize others instead of watching the fecking game.

Now please don't log in as Zarlak and come back.
 
I'm lost as to what is Cleverley's role in the team.Is he afraid of coming to get the ball in midfield and link up with others ? We let the 2 CBs and Carrick isolated from any kinda of passing solutions many times.Not ideal for a team that was supposed to be attacking
 
We need to make changes but unfortunately that means more power to Athletic. Hopefully they're in the mood of keeping the score like it is and worried about not conceding because we need to make 2 changes. Most of them are trying but not doing anything noteworthy really. Cleverley has been invisible. No idea what his role is tonight as I only seem him during corners.
 
Well that was a bit poo. Nothing in midfield and Rooney looking a lonesome figure up front. Think we need a striker or Scholesey for Park who ha do e little to nothing so far.

Not totally beyond us but we need to change our approach and go for it.
 
We should play:

De Gea
Evans
Scholes
Park Carrick Cleverley Young
Giggs
Rooney
Hernandez Welbeck​

Just to see how it goes, la
 
That's because we clearly couldn't give a feck about this tournament.

if we dont give a feck then why not attack and play free flowing football ? tactics can go to feck because we dont care about conceding goals or anything.

fact is we want to win this game but were being outplayed. there midfield is superior to ours. whats worse is that we wont still buy a cm in the summer.
 
Again out played. We have not been an attacking force since the first 90 seconds. Park off for Hernandez would be the first change I'd make. We're on our way out now we may as well go for it. I wouldn't be against taking off one of Giggs or Young for Welbeck either and just going for broke. Even if we go out we gotta win. Being played off the park is not going to be the tonic we need going into Wolves.
 
We're fecking hopeless when teams put high pressure on us, even with a strong team. Why is park playing in the middle instead of cleverly? And young keeps passing the ball back to our own centrebacks.
 
Let's just get our key players off. We've not been at the races in Europe this season. The league is the priority. This is not worth risking 3 points on Sunday.
 
Im dreading work tomorrow already. I'm going to get the mick ripped out of me.

I have never seen a game where he gets enough touches on the ball. He is generally neat and tidy on the ball but too passive.

You really think teams can just turn a switch on and play free flowing football?
 
Bilboa are just a lot better then us.

Not at their level technically i'm afraid. Giving the ball away far too cheaply and no real cutting edge when we attack.

That's about the truth.Something we need to address in the summer.
 
Now might be the time to stick Hernandez on and just go for it. If we concede another then just calm the feck down and defend and try not to do a city.
 
It because we don't have enough players that can play swift one touch football. Which is exactly why I have been saying that we need two of these fecking Spanish CM's for the past 18 months and why players like Hernandez are no good for the elite level of football any more.

Thats right. A lack of one touch football complete explains our absolute loss at closing down.. ffs

You're a clown, stop fecking talking
 
I'm sorry to say we've been outclassed in both matches. Park off please and some proper support for Rooney. We also need to quit trying to play everything through the middle where Bilbao have been 100% effective in stopping us. Go down the wings
 
We're not even at the fecking races here.

Spanish league is clearly way ahead of the English league..

Bit scary that they genuinely look better than us.

Not that it matters now as such, as i just want to win the league.

But more how far the Premier League appears to be behind La Liga with the quality of football.

Reflected in the respective national sides as well.

No it's not way ahead of the Premier League.
 
Good to see we've bridged the gap between ourselves and Barca since 2009.

:P

Cause no one in midfield (apart from Carrick) can come for a pass.We let our players too isolated.I'd understand if they were dribbling geniuses but they're not
