Match Day Thread Fc zorba vs Manchester United

well what can I say. A titanic battle of us battling one the European big hitters once again.

I must say I'm looking forward to scratching my head at yet more odd team selections by jm.

Not going to make any predictions about the game other than we score and try and defend a lead for the rest of the game and no doubt fail in doing so.

Let's hope they've left fellani contemplating his massive impact of his 100th game and may it be his last.

Interesting fact.

77% of Ukrainians have never been abroad.

 

Sadly, Fellaini is in the travelling squad -

 

Nice to see you're looking forward to this one.

 

Good to see Bailly back in the side - shame we're going to lose him to the African 'Right in the Middle of our Season' Cup in a few weeks

 

Frozen pitch........rubbish (from the BBC)

 

First 30 mins and I have to say I am getting pretty sick of building our whole team around Zlatan.

I actually think THIS is why we're poor in the final third. It's not about where the space or the better position or runs of others, it has to go to Zlatan.

 

Bored with Zlatan atm. Does very little but makes it look good.

 

Ibra's passing is terrible.

 

Rojo is **** how did he miss that. HT half the job done.

 

Yo Milk done the job.

 

Lovely individual goal by Mkhitaryan. Amazing what happens when Zlatan isn't the focal point.

 

Here we go fellani coming on to shore up the match.

 

This has been a very balanced display. Let's get the win!

 

Ju

Jinx.

 

Our passing has been piss poor all game. It shows a complete lack of respect for the opposition. They probably don't have the quality to equalise, but our players seem to think they can just kick it anywhere and the Ukrainians will simply roll over. It's poor tbh.

 

At least your being positive eh? .

 

Don't know if it's positive, but it's certainly generous.

 

Fellaini coming on for Rooney. So much for him never playing for United again

 

Not a good performance tbf but I'll take the win. Probably only the two shots on goal. Nothing to remotely suggest we're going to get 3 points on Sunday, but seeing as the EL seems to be no indicator of our league form, who knows!

Nice to see Fosu-Mensah getting some game time. So much for Mourinho not giving our youth a chance.
