Post-match discussion


Thu, 25 February 2021

Comfortable. Except for the first 20 minutes.
 
This was a game of football that happened.

And in which Lindelöf briefly morphed into Air fecking Jordan.
 
Tuanzebe in midfield was interesting. Maybe that'll become a thing.

I can't think of anything else of note.
 
Played for a draw in the entire second half. But if a poor game for the youngsters to get minutes.
 
Disappointing again at home. Another blank, another failure to win against a reasonable side. A good victory over the two leagues though.

Greenwood and Martial, especially, continue to look in wretched form. The season end can’t come soon enough for either of them.

Not sure whether to either feel sorry for Williams getting so little look in this year, or be angry at whoever offered him that senior contract.

Nice to see Shoretire and Amad again I guess, but frankly neither looks ready for senior top flight football.
 
Midifeld was as bit pathetic. Sick of never using the right hand side of the pitch.

It is what it is I suppose.

Shame we played Amad in the side that we dont use.
 
Nice stroll. Never needed to get out of second gear. Well done lads. On to the next...
 
Most exciting thing the last 25 mins was Henderson coming out for a cross
 
This was a torture to watch for how boring it was but at the same time very comfortable no complaints. Thank feck no injuries for our main players.
 
Job done, team rotated nicely, minutes for the young lads, good nights work all round.
 
Youngsters got minutes and apart from Matic and 1 of Bailly/Lindelof no one that should start at weekend played 90 minutes.
 
Bruno and Rashford had just 45 minutes of match time. For Rashford it was just a training game. Tuanzebe, Telles and Williams got some much needed game time. Fred got a bit of a rest. Saw a little bit of of Shola and Amad. Professional performance and onwards to Chelsea.
 
2 kids got minutes. Felt sorry for Tuanzebe. Cant understand Bailley he beats a man or two, got empty grass and a forward pass in front of him, panics and passes backwards nearly getting caught with the ball. Apart from that it was a yawnfest.
 
Was a bit frustrating to watch in the 2nd half but job done. Unlucky from Axel, had a decent game tonight and would have had a goal if Lindelof didn't fly in like a nutter. Nice to see some of the younger boys get some decent minutes too.
 
I think Van Gaal has done well to give some of the young lads opportunities even if the football is a bit dire. Anyway, it's 2015 and I'm sure life can't get any worse than it is now.
 
Professional performance, no drama, no injuries, through to the next round. Job done
 
Brilliant game. Couldn't take my eyes off it.
 
Apart from the Rashford sub, not too much to complain about. We saw the tie through in second gear (if that). rested some players, gave minutes to some youngsters and we don't appear to have picked up any knocks.
 
Can I have my 2 hours back please?

Painful to watch at times, but job was already done.

Martial irritates the hell out of me. This guy is literally fighting for his United future. Is this really the best he can muster up?
