[Hed Zitin]

Should be scoring that.

 

[mu4c_20le]

Lukaku would ahve buried that had the defender not been all over him

 

[Irrational.]

Lingard is playing #10!

This makes more sense, thanks

 

[Sammyjunn]

You reckon?

Its an entertaining match yeah.

 

[Catt]

What ??

You tell me.

 

[prateik]

The commentators on FS1 are really annoying. They are pretending this is an important game and are complaining because we arent playing well.
This was always going to be a game we would play in second gear. Same for most group stage games.

Guess the commentators are paid to make these sound interesting.

 

[RuudTom83]

Hehe Paul Parker would fit in perfect on the cafe! literally all he’s gonna do is moan constantly for 90 minutes.

 

[Jazz]

Good move. Shame for Lukaku

 

[R'hllor]

Playing with Smalling...every time he would have a ball in his feet, i would get down and pretend to get my boots fixed or something. Its like he is passing a hand grenade to you

 

[Silas]

Salvio just got bullied

 

[Ainu]

They went down to ten men pretty early on.

Heh? They went down to ten men in the 62nd minute when they were already 3-0 down. Anyway, we should be doing a lot better here.

 

[Djemba-Djemba]

Why were Benfica trying to waste time with the ball in the corner then?

 

[freeurmind]

With what midfielders?

How about the one we've got at left-back? Tuanzebe, Jones and Mata could also do a job in there.

 

[Rado_N]

So normal service is resumed?

Indeed!

 

[SirAF]

You tell me.

«Suck it» was aimed at his critics obviously.

 

[Shark]

Lukaku not looking the best again.

 

[dannyrhinos89]

Crowd = dead

Players = dead

Me =

 

[whatwha]

Lingard is playing #10!

So move Mata central and have Martial and Rash either side. Simple.

 

[Jazz]

Lukaku not looking the best again.

He'll be fine. Just needs a goal

 

[GifLord]

Lukaku heads it over

 

[yamo123x]

Team selection so many bang average players no star quality other than a few flashes from martial.

 

[Android1974]

How about the one we've got at left-back? Tuanzebe, Jones and Mata could also do a job in there.

You mean the one who never featured in an official game in midfield with Mourinho, that one?

 

[Irrational.]

These officials are fecking garbage.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Crowd = dead

Players = dead

Me =

Relieved to know your not dead.

 

[Anustart89]

Useless goal-line ref

 

[mancan92]

Martial has done everything but score

 

[el3mel]

That looks like a League Cup game rather than a CL game. Very poor football, a somewhat second team playing and in second gear with a very flat performance.

 

[Djemba-Djemba]

If we did draw this, what result would we need in the other game to still qualify?

 

[Android1974]

So move Mata central and have Martial and Rash either side. Simple.

Mata rarely plays #10 with Mourinho, he shipped him from Chelsea because of that. And that error against Huddersfield shows why.

 

[Catt]

«Suck it» was aimed at his critics obviously.

Ahhh, got it.

 

[Sammyjunn]

Is Mata the slowest player in the last 5 years here? 40 year old Giggs would beat him for pace.

 

[kouroux]

What is the point of pen box referees ?

 

[Nick7]

If we did draw this, what result would we need in the other game to still qualify?

CSKA loss.

 

[Raw]

If we did draw this, what result would we need in the other game to still qualify?

If we win/draw and Basel win, we qualify.

 

[Red Indian Chief Torn Rubber]

Its maddening that all our midfield does currently is pass back wards and side ways then after the fourth pass hit a hopeful, innacurate long ball. No passing through the lines, no desire to retain possession. It's annoying. I doubt Mourinho is pleased with that

 

[SirAF]

Ahhh, got it.

 

[Escobar]

We just don't attack as a unit, looks like a bunch of individuals running forward

 

[Loublaze]

Herrera is going to have to come on for the nothing player McTominay

 

[redIndianDevil]

God our passing is making my eye bleed. how many long balls is it to Lukaku? absolutely piss poor

 

[Silas]

Why was that clown balancing the ball on his head?

 

[freeurmind]

You mean the one who never featured in an official game in midfield with Mourinho, that one?

Right because clearly he's world class at left-back.
