Yep. RIP the golden age of the CL- mid 90's to mid 00's.

Miki needs to sort his shit out or I may have to turn my back on him.

Yeah, maybe he actually needs a rest.

We should be getting someone so much better for that role.

Jose

The amazing defensive work Liverpool did against us we knew benfica couldn't do

A rest? A bleedin rest?



Rest??

9 wins out of 11
8 clean sheets out of 11

What a start

Jose last sentence is aftermatch. Great for the club the prestige and also for the finances 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Winning this group easy is not to be sniffed at given our last group campaign

Got to be a big worry that we hardly created a chance all night
Was trying to put my finger on it watching the match but I just think there’s no chemistry between that attacking foursome
No combination play around the box

Lukaku can be a bit of a lump at times

Micki needs to be dropped
Basically playing with 10 men

Hopefully the attack sparks at the weekend

I thought we were loads better in the second half. The first was piss-boilingly frustrating especially after Saturday but we basically stopped panicking and played some football. Was vaguely encouraging actually. Rashford best summmed up the improvement, glad it was him who made the difference and it was a pretty good strike.

Want to see us sparkling more obviously but job pretty well done. Nice being nine points up already with two home games to come.

Bailly ruled out for Saturday.

That is absolutely glorious.

If ever anything needed the thug life music and glasses....

The greatest team this league has ever seen only won 2-1 at home last night, you know.

Just the 9 goals in 2 games eh? Christ they must be worried.

I was more concerned that we seem to have lost all momentum and any kind of creativity. If that kid hadnt Carried the ball in the net there’s no way we’re scoring.

Lukaku and Mkhitaryan have been atrocious the last 2 games.

You thought United would lose tonight though, so you must be #@&%!-a-hoop?

i'll say it again, we're inter milan now

Playing poorly with quite a few injuries and drew a match away at our biggest rivals and put to bed a group stage cl away match.

[strokes chin momentarily]

Improvement needed but no need to defecate the bed linen just yet.

Need pogs back asap.

We’re way too static. How many times do you see our midfielders or defenders raise their arms after a move has broken down because no one was showing? Its really basic stuff. Having wide players who can’t cross doesnt help either.

When and where was that from?

I said it could be on the cards. It would have been nice if they'd have put on a display to put any chance of that to bed. But they looked lethargic, slow and really lacking up front tonight again, which i have to say going forward does concern me.

We've got Spurs and Chelsea coming up after this weekend, which could prove very very tough if we don't start getting some players back.

Lukaku has played pretty much every minute of every match.

Never mind the £#%&!in internationals as well.

He looks £#%&!ed because he probably is.

We need to get some combinations working up front
It’s all very individual at the moment

Would try Mata in middle for the weekend
Need someone who can consistently get the ball to the front players
