They need to keep supplying Messi otherwise it's hopeless. Their wing play has looked like they are out of ideas.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
It's the beard.
So does Sampaoli get the blame here or did Messi/Mascherano handle team selection starting from the Nigeria game?
Knock out game.
Nope. Knockout stage.
But that doesn't mean anything. The argument they keep making is that everybody around him is crap, not that they can't play as a team. Individually they are better/on par with Portugal yet nobody says a single thing about Ronaldo being surrounded by crap
Mascherano should be off after that dive 
Disgrace from Mascherano
What on earth was that attack by Argentina? Literally no players were open near the box.
Kante vs Messi has been so much fun to watch 
What if Uruguay beat Portugal? Argentina are no better than them as a team so both guys are fighting an uphill battle.
Probably because Portugal has a functioning manager and a bit more desire as a result. Argentina are just flat, no chemistry.
Fecking Meza. Maybe he is illegitimate love affair of Sampaoli. Fecking Meza.
Neymar is 7 years older than Mbappe.
His potential is frightening. Only shame for me is he'll play in Ligue une for much of his career as PSG won't sell him willingly.
Is Diego conscious?
Kanté is sooooo underrated on the ball
Feck me how has that scrote Mascherano not been sent off today?
The Argentinian Mark Noble.

Mbappe
Come on, Mbappé is still young.
Its ridiculous. I love Messi as a footballer (still prefer Ronaldo for bias) but the way people make excuses for Messi is incredible - for Ronaldo if he doesn't score a hattrick then he's shit.
How can he be the best of all time? Ahead of Maradona, Pele and the likes. I'm sorry but the more you hear facts like these the more you start to wonder.
Fekir coming on.
Messi isn't fighting at all.
Has Pavard been linked to any big club so far? Would be a brilliant buy for us!
Our player coming in
So excited by this kid. Almost feels wrong to word it like thatDi Maria and his crosses make young look like beckham
I've left the Messi/Ronaldo debate and will now be team Mbappe against Neymar fanboys.
Come on
What? Pogba has been incredible in this game. Mbappe has been sensational too but it isn’t night and day different, Mbappe with the great finishes and flair. Pogba with the controlled midfield game and superb passing setting up the situations for the goals.
Kanté is the true GOAT
This the little Fekir?
Young is very good at crossing. Bad example.
Pavard lost concentration there.
Masch should be off
They have better players, significantly better players. This weird agenda that Argentina are as shit as Portugal has become very tiring.
And if Ronaldo has as a bad match as Messi and they get eliminated, I think it is fair to keep Pele as the GOAT. Comparable to Messi/Ronaldo for his club, but way better in international football.
That's right, Pele had just as shit a team as Messi. No question.
It is.
They’ll want well over £200m but they won’t sell him yet.
Ftfy
He doesn't like knockout stages full stop does he.
Argentinian body language says it all
They've given up .. long ago.
