Champions League 2015-2016

2-1 final score, Smalling MOTM. Controlled most of the game apart from around 20 minutes or so in the second half. Got a deserved win though I think.

[jman]

Never realised that Smallings voice sounds like his balls haven't dropped yet lol.

Dodgy penalty I thought and Schnierderlin should of been sent off.

[harv]

He sounds decidedly homosexual

I've always found it odd the way gay blokes sound when they talk. Must have something to do with taking a dig up the dirtbox lol

[harv]

Had a really weird dream last night. I dreamt that arse beat Bayern Munich 2-0. Completely ridiculous.

It was a dream, right..? Right?

Difficult match in Moscow this evening and it's a must win job. We can't afford to lose any more games I don't think.

Team news for United:

De Gea

Valencia Smalling Jones Rojo

Schweinsteiger Schneiderlin

Herrera

Lingard Memphis

Martial

Great to see Lingard getting a start, he's a great player.

[harv]

Bollocks. 1-0 down after Martial handballed in the area. De Gea saved it but the Ruskies get the rebound. Stupid play from Martial, don't know what he was thinking

[harv]

1-0 down at halftime, we're REALLY struggling to break them down, they're VERY well organised defensively and looking dangerous on the break too. We'll be lucky to get a point out of this

[harv]

Fellaini on for Schweinsteiger. Hoooof!!!

[harv]

Nice goal from Martial for the equaliser.

Michael Owen has been moaning about Rojo all game and then questions Blind coming on for him. You couldn't make it up lol

[harv]

Memphis on for Lingard.

[harv]

1-1 final score. Most people will be happy with a point but this group is still pretty tight, I definitely wanted 3 points from this game and am pretty disappointed tbh. Much better second half although we were so poor in the first half that it would have been pretty difficult to play worse lol

[harv]

Hmmm...interesting changes from Van Gaal:

De Gea

Young Smalling Blind Rojo

Carrick Schweinsteiger

Roonster

Mata Lingard

Martial


Most of the changes are at the back and defensively we've been looking very sound these last few games. Could be using Young over Darmian and Valencia for his pace and crossing ability. He had a great game against Palace on Saturday, so much so that he deserved the MOTM award imo.

The Roonster as the number 10, Martial up front and Lingard in his preferred position on the left so expect him to be cutting in on his right foot and having a pop at goal and creating chances for others.

[harv]

Looks like we're switching between 4-4-2 and 4-3-3 with a number 10. The shape isn't all that different tbh when a side plays with such a high defensive line. Crossing has been MUCH better this match, hence the increase in chances created. It's looking like it's only a matter of time before United get a goal, although I've probably just put the Kiss Of Death on that lol

[harv]

0-0 at halftime, we deserve to be ahead on balance of play, Lingard in particular has wasted a good few chances.

[harv]

The Roonster makes it 1-0. Great assist from Lingard, who I would have taken off for Memphis earlier lol.

Still plenty of time to go though, not over yet.
