Manchester United 6-2 AS Roma - Did Ole Get It Wrong?

Any team with Fred or Lindelof in it is wrong

We were fine until their 2nd goal then our heads went until a few minutes before half time. 100% on the players. They sorted their shit out though, so fair enough.

Felt the set up was wrong 1st half -rashers on the right is always shite. He did £#%&! all the whole game. Two defensive midfielders who were also shite. At home. Not sure a brilliant 2nd half should excuse a poor 1st. Decently set up teams don’t always have to have a boot up the arse at ht. We seemingly do. That’s on the manager - not the players - especially after it happening for this long this frequently.

The Scottish Player has been poor recently. I’d be looking at Matic over the next few weeks once the Liverpool game is out the way.

Again, 1-0 up and cruising until giving away a freak penalty from Roma's first visit to our penalty area. Then had them penned and were dominating before they managed to make it to our half for the second time and the defence switched off entirely. 100% on the players mentality.

Rashers shouldn't ever play on the right, and is clearly not fully fit, but I can fully understand why he plays him, even on the right. Pogba justified his inclusion on the left of the attack and McT and Fred both need to play as neither have the quality to do the job alone. He's hamstrung by his options.

Winning the second half means it was a draw.

Fine. Lets tell Roma we’ll call it a draw from the first leg then, and have a one-off next week .....

The 2nd half was ok I suppose

Yeah - that’s the take away conclusion from that. Nice one.

My vote will not be cast until the final whistle of the final game.

this! we always had the beating of them. italian footy is shite , our rejects are gods in their league ffs.

sacrificing for balance but surely mason offers that far more

The first half was a joke. 2nd half Roma collapsed.

How often can we get away with them first half performances?

Fair play for Ole winning us that last night.

Remember when we were in the CL but blew it as soon as the pressure came?

And when we blew it in Turkey strolling about?

Meanwhile we are all supporting PSG ffs to stop city.
