CL L Champions League Group H

RB Leipzig 3:2 Manchester United

Post-match discussion


Tue, 08 December 2020

Our only job is to keep it tight and hit them on the break. The defending today was a total disaster. Extremely dissapointing!
 
Cowardly setup to defend, and went 2-0 down in 13 minutes. Manager doesn’t rectify his mistake fully until the 60th minute. Deserved to go out and ended the group in 3rd which is our level.
 
All round dreadful display. Poor defending and wasteful shooting. Maguire and AWB had a shocker. Rashford and Greenwood very poor and very selfish. Had Greenwood passed in the first half that would have changed the game but he took the selfish shot. Not he and Rashford did that a number of times.

Getting very hard to see where Ole can leas us now. Personally, I’d get rid now. A good performance every few games for 45 mins is not acceptable and Nagelsmann blew Ole out of the water tonight.
 
That really is a spectacular collapse from the position we were in but sort of sums this team up.
 
-Forgetting to have a player back from a corner against fecking Istanbul
-Martial wasting an open goal against PSG and conceding a last minute goal to feck our head to head
-Setting up like pussies against Leipzig and conceding two in the first 15 minutes. Then maybe the worst goal I've ever seen conceded by a Manchester United team because De Gea and Maguire are fecking cowards

Those are the reasons we're out. Disgraceful after the start to the group we had. Feck this team, feck this manager, bunch of bottlers. Get Ole out tonight
 
Beating a team 5-0 and then lining up with 5 at the back and two defensive midfielders is fecking criminal
 
Same shit.

Start of negative, slow with no press. Concede goals.

Subs in 2nd half and try win game. It was always going to catch us up at a time when we most needed it against a top team.

Don't even want to watch the BT post match analysis. Same old United players who won't call Ole out but loved to stick it to Maurice every game.
 
Ole coming across as bullish in the pre match conference just looks foolish now. He stated a crunch match with 5 at the back and 2 CDMs.

Just one of the poor decisions he's made during this CL campaign.
 
Actually can't believe we've not made it through that group after how we started. Poor team selection and an awful first 20 minutes has cost us, Leipzig really weren't that impressive.
 
The lineup and the first half of that game was an absolute mess, once again. Comebacks and late rallies don't excuse that. Deserved to lose that.
 
Shite tactics today, another extremely poor start also.

Not good
 
Team selection gave them a 2 goal head start. The rest of the game showed they were nothing to fear. The manager may talk the talk about not playing for a draw but that’s exactly what he did. Playing to defend when your team can’t defend is beyond stupid.
AWB. Being utterly gormless gave them a 2 goal head start.
 
This is a week team with no leadership. Ole should pack up and move to Norway.
 
The usual shite from a rookie manager trying to learn the job at our expense, starting with 7 defensive players pinned in your own half against a far inferior squad. This time VAR, luck, or a players individual brilliance couldn't bail him out though.

Exactly this. We're paying him to learn his craft. We are the Manchester United Management Apprentice Academy.
 
If Angelino doesn't get man of the match then there's no justice. Ey lads, three cheers for Angelino, HIP HIP...
 
Shite performance that. And Harry Maguire - less said the better about what he did on the 3rd goal

His head was totally gone
 
Said it at HT, it's the first half that will have cost us and it was. The defensive shape was absolutely shambolic... all we needed was shape and cohesion and we're winning that match. Fine margins.

Back to the Europa league we go! FFS I can't stand that competition...
 
We were better team except 15-20 where we lost. Fighting until end. Shame we are not still in CL but nothing to do. Move on.

Wonder what will happen between PSG and Basaksehir?
 
Bench DDG this weekend. Shaw wasn't ready for this game. When it wasn't working we should've changed formation much earlier.

Disgraceful game plan by OGS and the staff. Didn't help that we didn't have Cavani or Martial to throw on. ugh. Hope he uses the kids in EL and focuses on the PL. Thursday nights will kill our PL chances for top 4 or better.

Terrible tactics and attitude to start. Individual mistakes that have been made time and again, AWB in particular. De Gea is the least assertive GK I've seen.

Just crap.

Fortunate to even scramble for it in the end let's be honest.
 
You can’t start playing at 3-0 down. Time and time again, dreadful start. We can’t get away with this and we deserve to be fecking schlepping all over Europe for a Thursday night in Qarabag.
Arguably, the only reason we "started playing" is that they ran out of gas, their pressing intensity dropped noticeably - not surprising three days after a 3-3 draw away to Bayern.
 
It reminds me of watching United in Europe between 93-97 and 04-07. A young, inexperienced team that has flashes of greatness but overall an incredible naivety undermining it.

But in the next couple of years at some point it's going to click.
 
God, I can't express how much I hate bloody Europa League..
VDB should've started. Also, Pogba showed some real class when he came on
Our defense is ridiculous
 
Shocking first half, tactics, defensively etc but for me the most disappointing thing about this game was Pogba coming on.

Decisions like that are turning/have turned us into a fecking joke.
 
Feck right off.. Starting tactics were cowardly, in game subs were shocking.. How do you start a game with Telles and Shaw on the pitch, go down 2-0 within 20min so you have to go forward and then have the idea to end the game with Williams as LB?
 
Why not take shaw off and put Telles at left back. Thought Williams was absolutely awful when he was on. Frustrating with like for like substitutions with no obvious change in shape.
