SC Braga vs. Manchester United

I can't believe it's half time and we're still on the tenth page..

Most of the posts aren't about our game too!

EDIT: Well, now 11th. Only barely.
 
I have nothing but deepest respect for our fans who regularly go to away games in the Champions League group stage. It's a huge commitment in time and money to watch something that is inevitably going to be an utter and total stinker.

At home we sometimes play some half-decent games. Away from home our CL group games are unwatchable.
 
Think the central 3 have been really disappointing. Giggs and Rooney have more than enough experience to know to stop trying to keep passing 50 yards or so, especially when we're just getting organised from one of their attacks. We just look unbalanced atm, which isn't surprising given the middle. One of the middle 3 need to try and get closer to Hernandez who can't get in the game. Think nani and then Valencia have been our best players.
 
WOW! Look at Celtic's celebrations for the goal!! The fans! The manager! The players! AND the commentator!

Boy, if they win, I want to watch that live!
 
Because Giggs only ever runs 15 yards at a time, and Anderson has no idea where he's playing.

If Rooney moves forward, we literally have no cover in front of defence.

It's hardly shocking, but that is a seriously unbalanced midfield out there.

Yeah, I know. Get Giggsy off for Cleverley and attack them, instead of this boring shite.
 
Quite a lacklustre half. We need to improve everything. It's just a bit predictable what we've tried to do, and it's not working. I'm struggling to remember moments where we've actually got in behind them.

I'm sure we'll show a bit more as the game goes on.
 
'Sporting Braga versus Manchester United is brought to you in association with Illegal Streams'.
 
Nani hasn't really put a foot wrong.

I was actually harsh calling them awful. Ando and Giggs have been awful. DDG good. The rest average.
 
I have Celtic - Barcelona on too so I don't really care how boring this is, a draw will be fine.
 
Even by zombie standards, this is exceptionally pedestrian. Thank god it's half-time, I was about to doze off. Looks like the ref was getting bored as well, so he invented the lamest yellow card he could possibly think off to keep himself busy.
 
Missed the first half, not missed much from the looks of it have I?
 
Welbeck is awfull, it's strange since he always play excellent, it's just finishing that is lacking, but tonight he has been really poor.
Nani on the other hand is playing very good, especially considering he and Valencia got 15 braga players marking them.
Evra and Welbeck must do better, most of the time they have too much space, they need to exploit that.
Our pressing in the midfield is poor also, but it's expected considering our midfielders choice.



I'm starting to not like this diamond formation.4-4-2 or 4-5-1 is what United should play.

We are not playing diamond ffs, it's our classic formation.
 
I thought we controlled the game, albeit by passing back to our defenders each time we've had a corner.

It's not really a diamond, closer to a 451 than a diamond imo. The middle 3 though are just staying too deep and not trying enough short passing in the final third, they either play it slow around the half way line and then punt it or just punt it straight away.
 
Great. An advert for pants.

DDG has hardly touched the ball. He had one save, which any keeper worth his salt should be able to hold on to.

I haven't really been concentrating on the game fully, but Ando and Nani had some nice interplay on the right, which lead to Valencia being in acres to swing a ball in. He's done enough for me to not be awful...
 
Fergie, I beg you please bring on Cleverley on for Giggs, if there's one thing I want to see happen it's this.
 
This is actually painful to watch, that first half has actually given me a headache. It also doesn't help watching such a boring game when you have the most boring man in history Niall Quinn doing the commentary.

Thought he got a touch on that header?
