These are the type of matches where ji Sung Park would make a huge impact. Miss that dude.

I've been saying this for the past few seasons. Like Arsenal of 5 or 6 years ago. Trying to score the perfect goal by walking it in. I hate this style of football we play.

Can we please sign someone who can dribble the ball well?

That's because he is. Whenever i don't watch a game with fellaini, he randomly scores a goal to mock me :/

He was suspended for the 3 matches. He plays best behind the striker but we have like 4 players where that's their preferred position. We also have no one tall on the team.

All these short corners and short passing is not fucking working. It's embarrassing to watch.
People always come up with this shit. There's maybe four teams in Europe that you would (usually) expect to walk through their group, no one else gets to call their group "easy".

Shit match. Should've been up 3-0 by the half. Shaw's injury really shook up our side. PSV didn't look all that great but made the best of their minimal chances. Bus parked with not a bit of creativity in this United side. Embarrassing performance.

haha what an awful squad. 200 million pounds, no synergy and the worst centre backs in the game.
I expected United to have a hard time here, but not an outright loss.

yeah its fun.
Ahhh okay, it's been hard to gauge where he's supposed to be played. I always thought he was more of a cm/cdm. The lack of height is definitely evident, the lack of shots taken and walking it in was pretty atrocious.

It is. We've lost to shit clubs before. Nothing new.

Just saw Ronnie's penalty. Disgusting player, gagging for goals so bad that he has to lie through his teeth.

That second half was disgraceful. We (Utd) should be putting away teams like that, no offense.
I'm not being funny but if Chris Smalling can run past their CB and have a 1-on-1, and your forwards can't even make more than 1 clear cut chance (wtf Mata square that shit, tap in for Memphis) in one half, you don't deserve to win.

La Liga >>> the world
-every player ever.
but it's much easier to always single out him.

United should invest their money in some centre backs. They're shit. Was not impressed by this squad at all. LvG is a hack, same with WC and Bayern where he relied on only Robben.
PSV was the easiest away game on paper, it will be fun watching them against Wolfsburg and CSKA.

You often see Messi, the guy who Ronaldo is always compared to, consistently dive and lie for penalties on the field?
You can see the desperation in Ronaldo to become the top-scorer by any means necessary, even if it means lying or lambasting his own teammates.
Smalling isn't shit, sorry. Rojo coming on made us look ALOT weaker at the back, which worried me as I wanted him in the starting line up a few weeks ago, before Blind put in some decent performances. Blind was goddamn awful after switching to LB. Maybe putting Rojo there would've been a better decision in hindsight.
We do need another quality CB as a starter, or cover at least. McNair isn't ready yet.
I thought Martial did OK, made a few chances, perhaps could've done better with his shot on goal.
Wolfsburg is now a must win. Which is annoying this early on in the group stage.
I still don't trust Rafa and await him to shit the bed when we face top opponents.
But I have to say there are many positives to take away from the first 3 league matches and this CL match.
-Ronaldo is still Ronaldo and I bet him and Messi both cross the 100 goals scored in the CL line before they both retire, what a time to be a Footballfan.
-Kovacic is insanely good, probably better than Kroos.
-Casemiro is really good, probably better than Kroos.
-At this rate Navas will break Casillas's record for minutes without a goal allowed in official matches soon.
-Navas is really fucking good, I admit I kinda wanted De Gea to come and replace him but we might've gotten lucky that deal didn't happen.
-We have the best LB in the world. Marcelo is too damn good.

Messi would if he was able to shoot pens better.
Yep, disgusting.
Dude they are different players with different personalities and the fact they are both playing in the same era has made them both better.
We are lucky to have them and watch them play every week.
Sure, Ronaldo goes overboard with the celebrations but that's just who he is.
Also, Messi would have a lot more goals to his name if he had the same penalty conversion rate as Penaldo.

I think Smalling is nothing special tbh. Not good enough for the level United should chase. We're talking Bayern, Real, Barca here. United has the funds to get closer to those teams. Therefore their vision is baffling, no investments in defense but yet grabbing guys like Martial for god knows how much. There are guys like Hummels out there. Laporte.
Blind is an awful player. Memphis the same. They're both one trick ponies. I'd rather not have them in our national side, but we've got nothing else lol. But they aren't going to make United a better team. Memphis is too egocentric, Blind is too slow for a team that should play far from its own goal.
When you have to bring Fellaini, I think you've got a problem.

What are you going on about? The discussion is about Ronaldo's continued poor sportsmanship on the pitch, not penalty conversion rates or goal celebrations.
Oh ok, I did go off topic there.
You do keep acting like Messi doesn't act like a bitch every time someone comes close to him. Do you even watch La Liga games?

I've been watching La Liga for years so yes, I do. I've watched him being stamped on by several guys in Atletico games and still continue in the box. I've watched him continue to dribble when most other players would go down. When he cries or whines, he usually has a perfectly legitimate reason for doing so. He's not perfect but he has good sportsmanship.
And he doesn't lose it with his teammates when they get goals and/or don't pass to him.
Bad result. We actually played alot better today but Mata sadly had a complete offday.
Schweinsteiger just keeps getting better.
It was clear though that the terrible injury to Shaw really shoock the team.
Moreno should be happy Keane isnt active anymore, what a cnut to celebrate like that after almost destroying another players career, and then he even tried to do it to Young aswell. What a dirty swine of a player.

ok you are delusional, last year he started a riot because lucho sat him one game and then he threatened to leave for Chelsea just because of that. He didn't like all the attention Neymar was getting.

9 goals scored today, zero conceded. All atop their group. La mejor liga del mundo.
I see you fail to mention mehssi kicking ball hard to crowd in frustration. so much for watching la liga for years, eh?
is okay. everyone has their biases.
To be perfectly clear, I am a Madrid supporter and I think Messi is the best player of all times.
But, he is in no way perfect on and off the field. I hate how Barca fans try to make him look like an angel when he's not.
He complains and asks for penalties just as much as any other player.
