    Well, I quite enjoyed that considering the players we had on the pitch. full strength defence and we would have won quite easily.

    I thought it was a good game to watch considering how many players are out and make shift across the board. Just a disgrace we didn't do anything for the other 5 games as we were expected.

    Don't know whether to laugh or weep.

    Really enjoyed the game, was too keystone cops though. Shambolic at times.

    We attacked though, eh? Perhaps we should have tried that in our home games.

    The players must have got together and decided to change the team, formation and style to be more attacking but also to **** about with the defence. Fellaini must have incriminating pictures of the rest of the squad as he seems to have a lot of influence over team selection and tactics. Apparently LVG got a record score on Angry Birds this evening.

    Yep, if we had played like that for all the games we would be through (probably topping the group).

    We approached the Champions League with a small-minded mentality. The polite way of saying we approached it like cowards. Basically, we played as if the manager didn't believe we were better than the other 3 teams, or was afraid they were better.

    Look at this fcking clueless c*nt ffs...

    I could have been blindfolded and picked one, and they'd all look as gormless.

    Let's be honest, we played very well after Mata went off. Mata played great in the first and was starting to get into his groove again before being taken off. He should have stayed on, no question but it didn't impact us much at all. Mata's goal threat would have been useful though.

    We won two, right? Definitely should have attacked more in the PSV game though. Should have defended better in Holland though, and tonight. We would also have gone through.

    Nah, fans approached it like Billy Big Bollocks and expected to cruise through. We've learned were not a CL knockout level side yet. Let's requalify and improve next season.

    Not good enough of course, though.
