[Pexbo]

Mcmanananamanama keeps criticising our runs in behind and then going “well it wasn’t a bad run...” once he’s obviously just seen a replay.

How about “the linesman has got yet another one wrong after United make yet another good run in behind”?

 

[bosnian_red]

Rashford is useless in the air

 

[Drifter]

Better cross

 

[Random Task]

The amount of misplaced passes from United in this first 30 mins is shocking to say the least.

 

[One Night Only]

feck off ref.

 

[yumtum]

Our passing is so fecking slow.

 

[Hammerfell]

Just take off Herrera and Mikhitaryan. I'm sure there wont be a difference even if we play without them.

Why bother taking them off then?

 

[Member 90887]

Did Benfica not lose 5-0 to basel in the last round?

They got a red card after the first Basel goal. It was a freak results.

 

[Ban]

Jose's formation at Liverpool has killed our form.

So one formation ruins a form?

 

[2 man midfield]

Why does Mata simply refuse to shoot unless he's 4 yards out?

 

[SalfordRed18]

Stream just died and that's a good thing

Spoken like a true armchair fan.

 

[AndyJ1985]

put mkhi on the left hand side and mata in the middle for christ sake

Put Mkhitaryan in the bin more like. That's where garbage goes

 

[pseudo_canadian]

That's a great clearance

 

[Scarecrow]

While City have the two Silvas, Gundogan and Sterling to step in if KDB isn't creating, we have Jesse Lingard as a backup to Mkhi and Mata.

These are games when I would gladly take Ozil into the first XI.

We'll have Pogba and Zlatan soon enough.

 

[TMDaines]

Playing Mkhi as a 10 just emphasises his weak points. Gets caught in possession so often and is far poorer at Mata at tight, intricate play. Mkhi is wonderful wider with room to go either side of defenders and playing the ball on the run.

 

[Plato]

Starting to string some passes together.

 

[Toad]

Great ball from Lukaku at pace

 

[Inigo Montoya]

More like it

 

[Djemba-Djemba]

Better the last few minutes

 

[Andersons Dietician]

Wonder what the chances of Jose taking off Herrera for Martial and making it a midfield 3 of Matic, Mata and Miki.

Something must have happened when the lads were away that they just can’t string 2 or 3 passes together.

 

[Wayne's World]

Much better there.

 

[Catt]

Stream just died and that's a good thing

If you don't want to watch you should do something else.

 

[Bojan11]

Looked better since Mata has switched to the middle.

 

[One Night Only]

Mkhi plays like he's been Space Jam'd lately. Can't do anything right.

quality!

 

[Sly]

I hope Mourinho doesn't get tactically outwited by Roy Win

 

[marktan]

Hearing Viva Ronaldo in the CL is always a good time.

Also this lino has made some very suspect offside calls so far.

 

[edcunited1878]

Better attacking and Lukaku finally moves around and some good things happen.

 

[Irrational.]

Mata should've put Lukaku through there. Nevertheless he was fouled but no FK given.

Benfica are butchering our players and nothing being given, meanwhile they go down at the slightest contact and get the call.

Reminds me of that game against PSV under LVG.

 

[whatwha]

Lol clear foul

 

[MThomas]

Hope Rashford gets a chance second half, would be good to bring him on

 

[Ban]

Mickhi off Martial on please.

 

[edgar allan]

So one formation ruins a form?

certainly killed our momentum and our positivity.

 

[red4ever 79]

better bit of pace and pressing

 

[Ace of Spades]

Finally, some team coherence.

 

[Toad]

Stream just died and that's a good thing

The stream may just have saved you there

 

[Ban]

Hope Rashford gets a chance second half, would be good to bring him on

Hilarious!!!

 

[Android1974]

So one formation ruins a form?

Specially when it was the same formation.

 

[ayushreddevil9]

Benfica have fizzled out.. encouraging football from us

 

[Silas]

Looked better since Mata has switched to the middle.

Haven't he and Rashford just swapped wings?

 

[breakout67]

Benfica are playing a different side to when they got battered arent they? Lots of players with a point to prove.
