Manchester United 0:1 Barcelona

Post-match discussion


Wed, 10 April 2019

Fred and McTominay were balling tonight. Bloody impressed with them, especially defensively.
 
Great effort. No quality. The workers stepped up, our best players didn’t. Rashford was atrocious and Pogba anonymous.

Fred, McTominay and Smalling all played really well.

Young is finished.
 
Lots of huff and puff but a lack of end quality has let us down yet again. Composure in the final third is lacking.
 
Should have scored today. Decent result considering the disparity between the two sides
 
No magic or belief at home. I hate us at OT at the moment. They aren't anything special, we can get a win over there.
 
We lack top quality in attack tbh.

A proper rb would improve us so much as well.
 
We played well but our limitations were on display. Largely the quality isn’t there.
 
We severely lack quality going forward.

The ref was shocking. Shouldn’t event be in a job, completely useless.
 
Our midfield was very good, Shaw was excellent, our attacking play was dull.

Young was awful. Really, really, awful.
 
Fred and McTominay best players - should be first team now. Matic and Herrera have been awful recently.

Strikers were crap today. Shaw really good defensively.
 
Decent result.

Never looked like scoring. Not even for a second.

Can't help but feel that was an awful performance from Barcelona rather than us doing better than expected.
 
Barcelona were poor, and we were terrible in the final third. Give us a top attacker and we could've had 2/3 with Barca's defending.
 
We need better attackers. Special shout-out to Fred and mctominay who were outstanding.
 
Lack of quality especially in the final 3rd. Good effort from the lads, Fred and McT were fantastic.
 
Positive: McTominay and Fred

Negative: everything else

Silver Lining: we are still in the tie
 
Better than expected, but didn't take chances when it happened.

Fred probably played one of his best games yet, a promising sign.
 
Was a good effort but we really lacked quality. The only good chance we created fell to Dalot and aside from that we didn't have a shot on target.

Barca created a few chances but they never really worried us either.

Tie still on, big ask, but I actually think we may get a bit more space to counter them away from home.
 
This is exactly how I predicted. Barca were never gonna need to play at their best level to beat us overall us without trashing us on the scoreline. We're sadly out of our depth with our tactical setup, our subs, our individual performances
 
Enjoyed that and were very unlucky to lose.

Overall I thought we were the better team. We just have no quality up front when Lukaku and Rashford are our points of attack mixed with Young wasting 50% of our attacking plays.

Scotty & Fred MOTM.
 
We’ve seriously miles away from being a top team.

So many average players, we couldn’t have asked for a worse performance from Barcelona and we didn’t have a shot on target.

Piss poor and exiting the champions league with 1 home goal all tournament. We need a massive clear out
 
Gave it everything we had to be fair, mctominay and Fred were brilliant.

Not enough quality in front of goal.

Not a chance of going through though.
 
Awful going forward really. Dalot and Rashford have to hit the target.

Was highly annoyed no one took the chance to take on Semedo after Dalot was hauled off.

But not as bad as I thought.

McTominay MOTM.
 
A mixed bag, contained Barca, worked hard and pressured them well to push them into mistakes.

The downside was a glaring lack of ideas, quality and technique. The final third we look lower mid table. Seriously poor and not having a shot on target at home in the UCL since OptaStats began is telling.
 
We're shite. We're a fallen giant that now gets patted on the head and given a gold star for turning up and trying. This isn't Manchester United. This is a sad empty husk of the great club we once were.
 
Good performance in general. Some players were missing or just not up to it.
Put one or two quality players in that system and we'll do well next season
