Athletic Bilbao vs Manchester United

Bilboa would have been 4 goals to the good if they finished as well as Llorente.
 
This is rubbish. I'd have Rooney and Carrick off to protect them for the weekend.

Would we play better with some spanish players, or is it the pilosophy of the teams that make them play like that. Suspect if they came over here they might just revert to our type of playing.

A team plays how a manager wants the team to play. A couple of Spanish players is not going to just totally change our approach (unfortunately).
 
They look unbeatable. One of the best sides I've seen based over the last 2 games. Its weird, but you have to give them credit.
 
How have they not scored more?

Hope we dont run ourselves into the ground
 
I'm enjoying watching them more than I am us, we've been shocking they've been great...make a change Fergie.

Doesn't seem so, though 3 of their players have threads in the transfer forum. I don't want to get yelled at for starting another one, I suppose I could just start threads about the rest of them!

That's why someone with more gravitas should start it.
 
They could have scored 4 by now. I don't mind us losing due to sloppyness but we're getting schooled. Again. :(

Basel gave us a game home and away, is the Swiss League better than the Premier league too?

We are going around circles here. I have no idea if you watch La Liga each week. But just watch weekly highlight shows where you will see all the sides in action.

Watch that for a season and you will know, La Liga is a far superior league. I have no idea why you believe it is not
 
Men against boys, figuratively speaking ofcourse, considering Bilbao are full of youngsters megalolz
 
The worst part is the fact that it appears for not the first time this season we've simply given up.
 
I don't care about the Europa League one bit. But I cannot believe this 'performance' from a lot of our senior players.

Get beat, fine, but show some f*cking back bone. This is utterly pathetic.
 
The excuse of this being a silly competition simply can not be used. Athletic fecking Bilbao have outplayed us over 2 legs.
 
It's laughable how little chance we have of getting back into this. :lol: Getting absolutely fecked.

You really are a stupid cnut. Have a look at the fecking score line you daft prick. Then have a look at the type of football we're playing against. Then have a look at our recent history of struggling to play against teams that press us, and then have a word with yourself. They do it when we're both on and off the ball.

You can't play one touch football when you care barely get ahold of the ball except for in our final third when they inevitably feck up a pass.

I have no idea what you are even trying to say. How do you propose that we stop their 'football flow'?
 
You know what would be funny, if we somehow scored 3 goals in the last 10 minutes to go through.
 
We really should have fielded the reserves. At least they will give a shit (hopefully).
