[RashyForPM]

Good win, should have no problems next week. Football not great but in knockout games, results are the priority. Fast, flowing football can come in the PL. No injuries after they kicked us all game is nice too, and there’s possibly even the added bonus that we might just know our semi final opponent too (Roma).

 

[Sea-Cow]

Job done a win and a clean sheet against a dirty negative side.

The ref was joke, 3 united players suspended for the 2nd leg for fouls that weren't yellow card offences. A defence of Wan-Bissaka Lindelof Tuanzebe Telles for the 2nd leg?

I get the frustration and annoyance at them but we have no room to throw stones in this case. That's an embarrassing dive from Bruno, which is about as dirty as a team can play.

 

[Inigo Montoya]

Played against 12 men all night. Dirty feckers deserved it.

 

[buckooo1978]

we look very tired

 

[LawCharltonBest]

This referee will be a blessing in disguise.

Definitely. Will make sure barely anyone is suspended for the semis

 

[RedTiger]

We really can't go out from here though.

Oh we're masters of that. Istanbul beshhikshiker away says it all.

 

[Buchan]

Worrying levels of performance almost across the pitch tonight and the teamplay in general bordered on abysmal.

We have circa. 12 games left of the season and the performances will have to improve drastically if we are to end the season as we hope to. However, our displays are on a downward trajectory over the last 2-3 months and I don’t see how we are going to arrest that decline.

It’s time to freshen up the team and trust the squad we have at our disposal. It’s going to end in tears if we continue trying to rely on the same 13-14 core group whilst practically half of them are woefully out of form.

 

[GazTheLegend]

I get the frustration and annoyance at them but we have no room to throw stones in this case. That's an embarrassing dive from Bruno, which is about as dirty as a team can play.

Did you not see the state of his face? And watch the Granada player, he LOOKS for Bruno, then deliberately smacks him in the head?

The state of our support.

 

[Beachryan]

Grenada were shameful, so disappointed with their approach. We're not very good, if they'd put half as much effort into scoring goals as they did screaming and yelling, they could easily have given us a match.

 

[Judas]

Horrible game, average performance against a truly dirty and poor side. But a fantastic result.

 

[Crashoutcassius]

Good efficient performance and result. Grind in till end of season. Feel we really need van de beek, telles, pogba, cavani to give us something at this stage of the season if we are to have any energy or variety. Hopefully this is more minutes for pogba and he can kick on

 

[JakeC]

Extremely comfortable performance. Perhaps missed a bit of assertiveness in our own penalty area, but we definitely had one eye on the Spurs game.

Hope Bruno is OK, he'll have a shine tomorrow.

 

[Robbie Boy]

Awful to watch but a very professional job, and most likely job done.

 

[12OunceEpilogue]

Loved the streaker during a pandemic too. He showed some balls.

 

[cyberman]

How is BT pretending that isnt a pen?

 

[Mibabalou]

2-0 win away from home in a QF, wonderful performance and we can hopefully rest some legs in the 2nd leg if we score first.

 

[BorisManUtd]

Good enough. Shaw and Maguire suspended for reverse match but at least that means they get some rest.

Hopefully we do enough at Old Trafford to go through.

 

[OnlyTwoDaSilvas]

They're a right bunch of cloggers. Yet somehow we won the booking count 5-2. Mad.

 

[Paul_Scholes18]

very good result.

 

[MonkeysMagic]

2-0 win to hopefully take us through to semi. Another game that demonstrate the gulf between us and elite teams but one can only hope!

And ref is not getting out of this lightly with awarding of that pen. A truly pathetic refreeing performance from him.

 

[Banana Republic]

2 shots on target says it all against a shit championship quality team.

Yep. Apart from Rashford’s goal, only one other shot on target in the whole 94 minutes.

They said the whole Granada squad only cost €7 million.
Most of that must have been spent on signing the Ref.
Money well spent as he was their best player on the night.

P.s. Post match analysis strongly suggests it wasn’t a penalty, even though the player caught Bruno. A bit of poetic justice for all the bad refereeing decisions that went against us.

 

[Gator Nate]

European Nights, I tell ya!

We tried to play some football, I think, but the opposition was having none of it. Neither was the ref.

We take a 2 road goal lead home. Can't really complain.

 

[Berbasbullet]

How is BT pretending that isnt a pen?

I mean was it a pen? I only saw it once and didn’t see much in that.

 

[matherto]

We are truly tumescent to watch at the minute.

Whether it's tiredness, coaching or COVID/lack of crowds to get us going, it's a proper chore watching.

We might bore our way to a trophy though so that's all that counts.

Can't wait to lose in the semis again though.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Dour but effective European away performance. Strangely nostalgic and familiar. All that’s missing was fans chanting “442” or “Attack Attack Attack”

At least we had a streaker, for the full retro experience.

 

[mu4c_20le]

I get the frustration and annoyance at them but we have no room to throw stones in this case. That's an embarrassing dive from Bruno, which is about as dirty as a team can play.

The defender shoved him down. He may have exaggerated a bit but its a foul.

 

[Red_Aaron]

It's a great result.

Granada lacked quality but they ran their hearts at out in what was a huge game for them. It was hard fought and the lads did really well.

Bizarre ref, booked us at every opportunity for nothing fouls but then gives us the softest of pens.

Tie is probably done, early goal next week and I think they roll over.

 

[James35]

Good result, rubbish game and as usual our performance was borderline shite. The kind of game LVG and Jose churned out most weeks.

 

[Jack-C20]

Did Bruno have a black eye at the end?

 

[cyberman]

I mean was it a pen? I only saw it once and didn’t see much in that.

Yep, stretches out to keep touch tight on player but palms Bruno across the face. It is a pen. I cant see how its not

 

[Pjisared]

Europe will be shitting themselves after that performance

Probably more frightened by the Oxford vaccine.

 

[Infestissumam]

I'll admit I haven't seen a lot of La Liga lately, but judging from Atletico, Sevilla and Granada in the CL/EL that's probably a good thing. I'd probably end up hating football if I had to watch these antics every week.

 

[SadlerMUFC]

Well that was.....ummm....yeah.....hmmm

Well we won 2-0. Nothing else positive to take from that other than the result...

 

[paulscholes18]

Won 2-0, streaker was MOM

 

[Andre Kagawa]

Not pretty, but job done! Lindelöf my MOTM. Can we please end this Dan James experiment now?

 

[AgentSmith]

Meh, it’s a cup tie and we won 2-0 away from home in a relatively low intensity match with some advantageous suspensions by virtue of a joke of a referee. Lovely combination by Lindelof and Rashford as well.

But Jaysusssssss was that a painful game to sit through, I’d rather be waterboarded than have to watch more of that. Granada were like a Sunday league team on steroids so I don’t think too much blame can be attributed to us though.

Dan James should be sold in the summer.

 

[Rustyspider13]

Fairly happy with that as that was a great result. But the only thing worse than our performance was Granada's conduct and the referee buying it every time. Strange seeing basically every offensive player screw up their touches. Hope we got that out of our system and are better in the second leg. Even with half the defense out, we shouldn't concede two unanswered goals. Big game from Lindelof tonight, he'll need another for the next leg.

 

[Berbasbullet]

Yep, stretches out to keep touch tight on player but palms Bruno across the face. It is a pen. I cant see how its not

I’ll have to watch again, my instinct was that it was very soft, but Bruno’s face looked awfully red

 

[Champ]

Great result, very good away performance.
Ref was awful, but glad we got the second goal, the players we are missing next leg will make it more difficult.

We are truly tumescent to watch at the minute.

Whether it's tiredness, coaching or COVID/lack of crowds to get us going, it's a proper chore watching.

We might bore our way to a trophy though so that's all that counts.

Can't wait to lose in the semis again though.

Pointless going gung-ho in an away first leg.

Near perfect away performance. Enjoyed it myself.

 

[Ludens the Red]

Fantastic result.

And An absolutely dreadful game of football all round. Like one of the worse I’ve ever seen from a technical stand point. Both teams were shite. The ref was shite. The second goal was shite. The stadium was shite. The streaker was shite.
