We'll get them in the second half I'm sure. Not exactly the most entertaining match so far but we can easily step up another few gears against this lot.

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.
We've been fine up until the final third where we have been horrendous, no craft and horrible execution. I think there is an eye on the weekend to be honest, we need to up the tempo a bit and just be smarter in the final third, we haven't been bad at all just lacking in precision.
The players look half asleep. The only positives are Carrick and Evra.
Right, feck this, I'm supporting Otelul now.
We're back to our last year's away form.
Carrick and Anderson have looked excellent. But the front players have been wasteful, Valencia looks really rusty.
Overall, we've played within ourselves and been slightly lazy IMO.

Poor. Truly poor. Ponderous. They've had more shots than we have, deservedly so. If we continue to play like that this there's a chance that Galati could hit us on the counter and get a goal. We really haven't done enough to open them up. Really, really surprised by Valencia who hasn't tried to take on his full back once with his pace and power you'd think he'd be trying to get around the back of Galati and get balls into the box but it just hasn't happened. Evra is clearly the best United player at the moment.
Unless he is injured you know that will not happen
Hmm, communication needs to improve. Been a few wayward passes in defense or misunderstandings in the final third. Midfield has been alright though, Carrick has been one of our better plays out there.
Up the gears in the second half hopefully.

Not bad. We'll score a couple in the second half.
I'm quite happy these players didn't start at Anfield tbh if this is how they would have played 
Where's Gibson when you need him?
If we could get out of first gear it would help, we look so slow in the final third.
Fit?
Some of the reactions in this thread are just as bad as our play in the final third, I didn't think Galati was going to be as easy a game as people were making out after looking at their first 2 results.
Must be bad!
Played some nice football until the final third,in which rooney,hernadez and valencia have conspired to mess everything up.Should come good second half when tiredness and space becomes more available.
Valencia will be kept on until Fabio gets injured and then he'll move to right back. He can't beat his man and he can't even cross the ball today.
It's a good job we didn't line up like this against the scousers
Is anyone else thinking this game may suit Berbatov? Whenever we get near goal they seem to block everything. Our build up is quite slow and we keep trying to be too clever to create an opening. It's not working. Maybe a bit of extra craft and vision could make the difference?
Carrick and Anderson have both been awful. Just because they've made some passes doesn't mean they've played well. They've both given the ball away numerous times, haven't played any meaningful passes, and are as responsible as anybody for our poor tempo
Need some coffeeeeeeeeeeeee.
Clearly?
You can't just throw that word into your post to validate your argument. We have been very poor against a team that is about AFC Bournemouth's level.
Player of the half for United: Lindegaard
On the plus side, Evra seems to be back in form. I thought he was good on the weekend as well.
Good summary. People make it sound as if we've been struggling to get forward passes going. Very wasteful indeed but a few players were superb (central midfielders funnily enough) and if they keep that up the attackers should keep getting into decent positions and you'd have to believe they'd perform better in the second.
I agree, the tempo of this match needs slowing down a bit.
Beckham on for Valencia
We need to score this 2nd half, and win. If we don't, we're up shit creek!
no, jesus christ the tempo of the game is slow enough, bring on the berbs and we will all be falling asleep
lulz
I bet you couldnt say Otelul. I struggle to.
I'm pretty sure I could look in form against Otelul Galati.
It's as if all that have to do is turn up.... we've been lackluster in the CL this season, so this isn't anything new.
You have to say if Berba doesn't come on against this lot, then he's got to be on his way. Either that or Ferguson absolutely hates him for some reason.
Welbeck for Rooney please
Well that was shit. More speed and we will be fine
Munich have conceded a goal
Welbeck for Valencia and put Nani on the right!
Not bad that, Romania is never an easy place to travel to.
Otelul`s clearly a decent team.
