Dare I say it but Haaland's hold up play thus far has been like Martial on a bad day.

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.
They should be taking up the mantle for the good of football. Unfortunately they can’t be bothered
If PSG played City, sure their front three (or two) would run all over City's defence.
City definitely couldn't push a CH right up like they're doing with Stones now and then. You'd have to keep one spare defender back.. no way you go man to man against Mbappe/Neymar, which slightly restricts their way of playing - they like pushing players up to give them width.
(But I'll happily take Dortmund winning tonight too).

Dahoud needs to feck off, twice he's taken a shot on when Haaland was clean through
Haaland needs to do more though, been almost anonymous in these two games

Yup - for all of Guardiola's emphasis on technique, their team is slow AF. Once you beat their initial press with quick players it's curtains for them.
Jude Bellingham is only 17?!
Their fans say the same thing!
That's special pleading! The Kop isn't some cauldron of atmosphere that cannot be found elsewhere. They have their occasional noisy CL nights, but as a whole they're as quiet as the next PL club. Why the feck shouldn't Madrid make the same argument for not having fans at their home leg? "If only Madrid had their fans....."
Tired after the Haaland's European Tour?

The last one was so greedy, surprised Haaland didn't have a go at him.
PLEASE stop calling Dortmund - Bayern "the Klassiker". That is just media hype, based on nothing to create something similar to El Clasico.
In all history there are maybe less than twenty years were Dortmund and Bayern are actually competing in the same league and on the same level, that's it.
They will wait 15 more minutes, and score with quick counter. Liverpool will then go all guns blazing, Real will finish them at the end.
Hopefully
Both honestly. You're playing well and we're playing like a team that just went through a clasico under biblical weather with a midfielder playing in defence
Yeah, he's something.
There's always a chance Liverpool will over-commit and then you get a goal on the counter. Their defence is vulnerable.
There will be a big push from Liverpool in that second half, but the finishing hasn't looked amazing. That's going to let them down tonight.
According to the press we really pushed for the move but he never really considered us. We even drafted in Fergie as part of the tour of Carrington but Bellingham and his entourage seemed set on Dortmund as a place for him to develop with regular game time in a good environment.
Looks like the right decision from his perspective tbf.
Real look like they don't want to score, uncharacteristically bad passing from the likes of Modric, Kroos and Benzema. They are lucky Liverpool are missing chances. I still think Real have enough in them to go through.
I gave Dortmund no chance of progressing but that Bellingham goal has given me hope. They really need an out ball here after soaking up the City pressure, one good counter is all it'll take.
It'll probably all go wrong in the second halves.

Dare I say he's playing like he doesn't want to score against his future team
If Liverpool get one, which surely they will, and it comes early enough I'll start to worry. Real just seem to be cruising probably due to their lead, which is a bit naive.
We're both multiple CL winners. That excuse didn't wash for us last week and it doesn't this week in the first half.
Not sure they're capable of doing that, judging by tonight.
Hopefully though
Hitzfeld years culminating in winning the CL in 1996?
They will. It seems our season has been written in crayon like that. Just got to wait for the karma to balance out next season.
The semis are almost certainly El Plastico and Ghost Goal II: Electric Boogaloo
Both things can be true but also Madrid are still two goals up. If Liverpool get one back I think you'll see them step it up.
Hope results stay as they are or improve. I refuse to entertain the notion of City even contemplating the Quad.
Dahoud's been one of the best players in both matches in my opinion. And that one shot was from a great position, so can't really fault him for trying from there.
If Madrid & Dortmund manage to progress into the semi-finals tonight then i'm going to set off a left over firework i found in the garage on Sunday... 
Correct.
It would be a win for football, but sadly it will be the mirror oppositeIf Madrid & Dortmund manage to progress into the semi-finals tonight then i'm going to set off a left over firework i found in the garage on Sunday...

He assumed he'd get no game time if he came to United. It appears he underestimated how good he was.
Any Dortmund river that's not super choppy? PM please
Thats why it's soo frustrating that we didn't do more. His next move will be for 100 plus mill
I thought about why we didn't buy and loan out.
Obviously BVB's model is that they CREATE value and cash in at the right time, so don't really like taking players on loan.
Jude and his team clearly have the right strategy in mind and hope he continues growing
Private tour with SAF, was it not. What more were we supposed to do? Don't think we offered less money and we couldn't have promised him guaranteed first XI spot..
No way Liverpool don't score very soon the way this is going. Madrid still in the dressing room
Taa
Did they just say 11 games without a goal for Firmino? Wow.
Pen to City. But VAR to check...
