On the bright side, we usually play at least one half of reasonable football.
The scary thought is that might have been it.

One of the most painful things about United over the last couple of years is how often we play possession without intention. Multiple managers and we still don't know how to attack a goal.
Oh apparently there is a stat to prove my point. It was as bad as I thought.
0 - Manchester United have failed to make a single touch in the opposition box in the first half of a Champions League game for the first time since at least 2005/06. Vigilance. pic.twitter.com/KF8CARcVaW

Pogba sends an absolute dime to Bruno who is open in the box but Bruno mishandles it. Gets no shot.
Rashford takes a shot from 35 yards out. Yeah that will work.
Thats BS. You cant penalize Pogba from a fast freekick because the other team wants to complain.
Hategan is so close to losing complete control. No one out there has any respect for him.
AM is definitely CONCACF'ing this one up
From Simeone to Suarez to Griezmann to Felix to Herrera to Llorente... All whiny b*tches. The entire Atletico club, top to bottom. Hope y'all find a way to advance.
Just a reminder this is our heat map in the offensive penalty area.
Nice.
35 fouls and 9 cards. We joke about this game being CONCACAFed but in CONCACAF its 35 fouls and one card at 90+2.
Rashford needs to be benched. He is completely out of form right now
(Now watch him score a hat-trick against Watford)

Let go seems a bit much, but I do think he needs a summer break away from football. So much talent, just needs to re-find his way. You cannot say a winger cannot perform well in Ragnick's system, because Elonga has and Sancho has begun to show his form. Rashford has not as of yet.Valtrex11 said:said this many pages ago he needs to be let go dude aint the future.Thunder18 said:

That referee was comically bad last night. He was in no way ready for a match up with an AM club and an English club.

Rashford can play at United till he's 45 as far as I'm concerned.
But in strictly footballing terms, kinda weird to advocate for the removal of a 24 year old footballer who has had a fair bit of success in his late teens and early 20s unless you think his injuries have irreversibly affected him.
Today will be my first game to watch under Ralf Rangnick. Has been a long gap in watching due to Peakcock, kids sports, some apathy, etc.
Should be 2-0 up
10 minutes in and Ronaldo's body language is awful. He stands in the penalty area, literally standing, while the ball is moving around and when it doesn't come to him he puts his hands up in the air and pouts.
A lot of good chances. Nothing to show for it so far.
The ball movement and off the ball movement and spacing has been really good. The lack of scoring hasn't been from poor play.
We should be up 2 or 3 on these guys right now
This has all the making of a game we dominate and give up something stupid about 55' in.

I had something very similar typed out, but was thinking more along the 80' or later timeline
How have we still not buried one of these chances
This is ****ing ridiculous.
Ronaldo had missed about 18 chances.
So now the defensive midfield is Matic? Here comes the screwed up goofy defensive misplayed ball for a giveaway goal.
He's done. And I laugh that he thinks he could withstand the grind of the MLS these days.
This is painful.
And now no Matic so Pogba plays the single holding mid and there's enough offensive horsepower to power a large yellow Caterpillar dump truck.
And Rashford just whiffs on that open square pass 13 yards out. Oof.

Rashford needs a sports psychiatrist
This is so frustrating to watch. It's not like Watford has parked the bus with a tight set of two lines. They have all but begged to be gutted.
Hey, we improved from a 4-1 loss to a 0-0 draw. Progress!
