Why were we playing Maguire who could barely move over Bailly for 3 games
 
I'm not looking forward to our next few fixtures, Chelsea and City could absolutely bury us if something big hasn't changed.
 
A draw was probably a fair result but United would have been the architects of own downfall if they lost that game with the Degea error and Maguires hopeless effort of playing offside. The only other decent or clear cut Atalanta got came from a Pogba.

Ronaldo some man for one man.
Draw fair result?????

We got away with it again.
 
Awful performance, decent result. What can you say about Ronaldo... unbelievable.
 
Very very poor performance from us. We didn't create any chances apart from the first goal.
 
I think Ronnie does not like the Europa league...... :lol:
 
COME ON!! YEESSSSSSSSSS RONNIE!

I'm not exactly Ole in but the players let him down today. so many awful, awful individual performances. Incredible result in the end though!
True, but what system were United playing in that second half? The person letting Ole down is Ole. Hopeless at this level
 
Solskjaer started the wrong players and made the wrong substitutions. If were not working on a replacement then were total clowns.
 
Very happy we avoided Thursday night football at least for now. Other than that nothing new - Ronaldo saved us, Ole and the coaches clueless.
 
Another game salvaged after being outfought and pressed for 89 mins.
 
Absolutely wild. What a rollercoaster. Our tactic of 'just hoof it up to Ronaldo and see what happens' was clearly a winner. Masterful stuff.
 
Our defense is the worst I've EVER seen. Maguire has been so woeful since he came back from injury. It's actually unbelievable how bad he can be at his worst moments. Bailly saved us a lot and we still concided two... Bailly showed he is the more talented player.

At the moment, Lindelöf, Bailly both should be ahead of Maguire.

So happy for Ronaldo. Everyone who have been saying he is the problem in this team, knows nothing about football.

Not the worst result but it still looks veeeeery bad for Ole as this is literally championship level defending.
 
Ronaldo and Bailley show. Ole the luckiest manager out there. Another poor performance against a mediocre Italian team. McTom lucky not to have had a red. We will qualify and get knocked out first decent team we play, but it will be progress as we didnt qualify last season. Well thats how they will dress it up.
 
Another terrible performance, deserved nothing from that game, defensively we are a complete mess, and going forward offered very little.
Very lucky to come away with a draw.
 
One shot in the second half which was not even a chance for most players. How can our board not see what the problem is? The team is never set up correctly from the start.

Donny and Sancho played 5 minutes and help create the second goal. They deserve their chance. Especially when most of the squad are absolutely shite at present.

Drop Maguire and Pogba for sure now. Pogba doesn’t put any effort in at all.
 
Difficult match for us. Varane was a big loss and we had to change shape for most of the game. Both their goals were very touch and go and Ronaldo pulled us out of a rabbit hole at the end. Most of the game I thought we were solid. City up next.
What game were you exactly watching?

We got thrashed and scored two goals out of individual brilliance.
 
have we conceded two goals in every champions league match so far? It’s not good when you’re consistently bad at defending, clearly we’re missing something with the coaching (not that we didn’t know that already)
Bailly very good, Ronaldo his usual self, he’s keeping Ole in a job.
 
If only we could play Nuno's Spurs every week.

Cristiano Ronaldo though. Those who ridicule the 'individual brilliance' thing - surely you get it, at least a little bit, deep down?
That's kinda why you buy these players though is it not??
I mean, the first goal wasn't individual brilliance, it was a fantastic team goal.
But you don't buy Ronaldo for him to get assists only, you buy him for individual brilliance.
 
Really important point that. Sadly we continue to look shit but hopefully we make the required change in time to make the most of these players.
 
The changes were positive, and the 2 Ronnie's got ole a stay of execution . Is it the Mark Robbins moment , in the ole saga ??
