We survive again. We are NOT going to keep getting these breaks. Get another goal ffs.

[J-V]

We're all over the shop

[Funkasy]

All over the place.

It was offside. Wipe your bums.

[3 Stacks]

It's easy to look shit when you lose the ball so easily and all it takes is one ball to expose your defenders.

 

Blatant problem with the structure.

[BeefStroganoff]

Too fucking SLOW!!!!!

[Ben Sherman]

It would have been offside for fucks sake

[J-V]

Salah's been brutal

[niallers]

We're like the key stone cops here in attack and defence. Bobby is the only one making it stick up top.

[Joey8FrogsLegs]

Firmino = poetry in motion.

Yep. Firmino very good, Mane quite good, Salah atrocious.

[Megadrive Man]

Yeah Salah looks way off the pace.

[Megadrive Man]

Salzburg are level with Napoli. This group could be really tight. 

[Anubis]

Since he scored Ox has looked anonymous.

He woke up 5minutes ago and looked good for 30 seconds.

[El Rojo]

I doubt that combination of a back five has ever lined up together for us, which might explain how we’ve been caught out a few times. 

 

On this half’s evidence, people were getting a bit overexcited about Keita knocking it about in front of United’s 11-man defence on Sunday. He’s been anonymous again so far tonight, which isn’t much of a departure from the past. 

 

Big Adam surely gets 45 minutes. 

 

Any type of win will do tonight. 

[ZonkoVille77]

Good opening 10 mins then just turned to mush. Not a good performance. Front 3 look sterile. 

[BeefStroganoff]

Fucking garbage that.

 

A bunch of second rate kids have give us a runaround for most of the half.

 

Defensively all over the place, Ox and keira playing it too safe, Salah off the pace.

 

We just allow the opposition to saunter back into two low blocks because we are pissing about with it at the back.

[Joey8FrogsLegs]

Mediocre performance that so far, it’s worrying how easy they seem to create chances against us.

[Bernard Diomede]

This shit in Europe of keeping your flag down for offsides is making us look far more shaky. If the dickhead was flagging for offsides we’d not be scrambling round our own box trying to block shots. That being said we are too open in midfield and have looked very disjointed 

[niallers]

We're a bag of rags to be honest given the amount of possession we've had. Blessed not to concede and I think we've unbalanced ourselves with all the changes. Salah, ox and lovren not covering, are all off it and keita too. Ball is bouncing off everyone bar Bobby. 

I've said it before that the champions league ball seems way bouncier than the prem ball. We couldn't control it at Napoli either. Mad I know but I'm trying to be generous as to why most of our lads can't control it in their 3rd.

Frustrating!

 

[Jordy Brouwer]

Not a great half but we are ahead.

They've had runners but not too many clear chances. Still worrying how we seem to commit 9 players forward. And still can't break them down or bury decent chances.

[andyj]

playing like we have the last couple of times was always going to happen with the amount of football that went on over the summer months and the lack of recovery time for players.

[The Guest]

If that linesman who Keown has been sucking off all game actually got his finger out and flagged actual blindingly obvious offsides then we wouldn’t look half as bad.  This is one for the critics of the workmen midfield though they clearly provide a lot more protection to the full backs than people realise.
