    Has to be said, Jadon Sancho has looked proper wank so far in a Utd shirt.

    It's a pity that was completely predictable from how Ole reacted to it.

    When something goes wrong it's important to shit your pants as hard as possible and totally give up on any idea of doing anything else in the game.

    Enjoyed Ole employing a random substitution generator in that game. Dare I suggest he clearly hadn't put the remotest thought into how he'd play if the team went down to 10 men before this game?

    Can't be that hard just to jig it around so you get someone to replace Wan-Bissaka? Sacrifice a man up top but keep the midfield and defensive shape.

    Personally I think it was a massive dereliction of duty on Fernandes' behalf to not sort that out for him.

    Well that's initially what he did, taking Sancho off for Dalot. We were getting completely over-run so he tried going 5 at the back from half-time but it didn't help at all.

    He brought on Dalot for Sancho as soon as it happened but then had every single man behind the ball constantly.

    We barely ever got into their half after the red card because everyone was sat back trying to hold onto the 1 goal lead.

    Oof. I'll be honest, I don't know who's best suited to break up the midfield for United. I guess that's why he brought on Matic but it clearly didn't produce much.

    That's not the first time Ronaldo has been weak around Young Boys.

    Ole is blind to the fact that Matic is well past it. What he subs on is his idea of Matic, some destroyer-in-chief, not the reality, a fella who mooches about not actually being good at very much any more.

    This game is the perfect example of why I said before the season we won't win anything having not brought in a top quality midfielder. There's nobody in the squad who can run the midfield in difficult situations like that one.

    Sending Matic on was also an acknowledgement he screwed up subbing Van De Beek.

    They may be good, even great, players on their day, but I don't think you can get away with Ronaldo, Pogba and Bruno as the front three in that scenario with everyone else circling the wagons in the box. Not enough speed or movement or effort, frankly.

    I'm hearing you've been a bit unlucky with opponents not employing the low block that your £80m playmaker thrives in. Give him time.

    And Pogba, Bruno, Rapist in a team of 10 must have been bants. Go suck many dicks

    He could have taken Paulp Ogba off for a right-back and been left with a solid midfield three and two fast attackers - one of which is Ronaldo, who takes up three markers - left on the pitch. But that would have meant taking his second biggest name off, so obviously not happening.

    Pogba started on the left wing. So after he took Sancho off, the theoretical midfield 3 was the same as the one you've just suggested and it absolutely wasn't working. It wasn't til half-time he changed it to 3 at the back and took Van de Beek off.

    United deserved defeat simply for playing in that dreadful kit instead of red. Why not play in red ffs? You're Manchester United and they play in yellow. Fuck you.

    For all competition matches, the home club has the first choice as to which of its official playing attires announced on the playing attire approval form it wears for its home matches. In the qualifying phase, the clubs agree on the colours to be worn from the playing attires announced on their playing attire approval form. If the clubs are unable to agree on the colours to be worn by their teams, they inform the UEFA administration, who takes a final decision. As of the play-offs, the UEFA administration proposes which colours should be worn. The proposals can be changed at the request of the clubs provided that the alternative solution does not lead to clashes in any part of the attires. If no agreement can be found, the UEFA administration takes a final decision.
    I've read that three times and I still don't know whether to protest outside Old Trafford or outside UEFA HQ.

    Not only have they been shockingly managed in the past, but they have Pedri, Ansu Fati and Ousmane Dembele all set to walk away for free in the summer. All very lol for various reasons.

    Same.

    I always assumed you had to wear your away kit if you were away, and third kits existed for times where the away kit clashed with the home teams kit.
