Tbf I think players should celebrate against their old clubs if they score but saying they won't then doing it, what a pure and utter wank.

Think it would be too far to get Roman to hire a hit on him?

Hopefully get him starting v Southampton, if not then well fuck knows.... impact player?

Mourinho really did get it wrong though, perhaps as much as the players choked, Mourinho also choked. PSG went down to 10 men and we just let them dominate. No reaction at all, no real major chance in emphasis from the team at all. You can't expect to play against 10 men and get dominated if you are as good a team as we are, even if it is PSG, it seemed like he was more concerned about trying to play like we did in France but at home where any PSG away goal would put us in bother. A few years back he did this sort of approach against Man United with Real Madrid in the CL but as soon as Nani was sent off, within a few minutes, Modric was on and the dynamic of the team changed, the full backs got forward more and they kept the ball more and ultimately won the game.

We needed to attack PSG, losing to a team who played nearly 90 minutes out of 120 with just 10 men is pretty close to embarrassing, sure we only went out on away goals but we deservedly went out after two absolutely abysmal performances where we could have conceded maybe 5 or more goals in both legs combined if it weren't down to awful awful finishing or great goalkeeping.

No its not his fault and it is also not fully his fault hes under performed because people overrated him to the heavens and back because hes young and English.

Lets be honest it was hardly a great performance by Real Madrid, they looked out of ideas at times and individual mistakes helped Schalke but yes it was a very good performance. Its different to play for Schalke at age 17 or 18 than is it to play for Chelsea and you know this. Lets be honest what team in the PL right now is currently playing a 18 year old or 19 year old from their academy regularly in their first 11 that are in the top 6? Nobody is. Sterling at Liverpool and Wilshere at Arsenal have been the only exceptions players I can think of who at that age came through and played regularly in the last 4 or 5 years. Perhaps throw Ross Barkley into that list because of Everton's high finish last year and maybe Jon Flanagan too but still its only 4 players then.

Aye I ken who scored just thought it was at Emirates lol. Anyway regarding City, we shouldn't worry about them and just win every game we can, City are chasing and like they did last year when we were second, we should just focus on beating whats put out in front of us week in week out.

I thought we played them at the Emirates? Anyway we need to get 9 points I feel from those 3 games, any dropped points gives City a potential chance.

I don't get how Daley Blind is playing for Man United. If people think Mikel is bad for playing 'backwards' passes then holy fuck thank god we didn't seem remotely interested in Daley Blind, the amount of times he looked like he might go for a raking pass or even a 20 meter pass forward then took 2 or 3 more touches and played a pass back to Chris Smalling or someone was frightening. I can see why United fans might boo sometimes when they do things like that but they really are morons when they were being pressed and had to go backwards the amount of booing was crazy, they really are stupid ungrateful cunts. Also Ander Herrera is probably never going to be a regular there, he was one of their best players but van Gaal subbed him and kept Blind on?? His great CV and philosophy? Spending about £150m on players? Hilarious.

Interesting to see how PSG plan to deal with him, if Marquinhos plays right full back then I can see him being in a bit of bother against Eden.

Yeah same but I think we can easily take all 9. All of those games are home games aren't they?

Rather play Ramires in a 4-3-3 than bother spunking 80-100M or whatever stupid stupid price they will want for him although he'd be lucky if hes even worth 50M. Ramires when he played under AVB as a box to box midfielder in 4-3-3 >

Hes pretty big physically but hes hardly hyped up as what people said. I remember people saying he was ready to play for a top team and I was like how? Because hes played 3 seasons for Southampton? One season in Championship and 2 in the PL, 0 games in Europe? In fact some people said he was good enough to be Englands first choice LB as well....

Was a foul I'd say, we got off with one but still Verratti also should have probably seen a yellow card a lot earlier than what he did. I have to be honest, I think no matter wherever David Luiz plays he is a liability. Sure hes a good player when your team has the ball and are on the front foot but he lost Ivanovic for the goal in France and as we've all seen before hes always seems to be targeted in bigger games by the opposition because of his lack of concentration at times. I think since we've not had a game since Wednesday that Diego Costa will be 110% and be ready to give what he normally gives and more, it is going to be a very interesting battle if Luiz does play at CB, there is no doubt Costa will probably target him.

Like I said ages ago about him at Atletico, he needs the team to play to his strengths, there's no point in signing him at all when 1) hes clearly not recovered from his injury and 2) he's not the sort of striker we need.

He's a tad lightweight for England I think, he looks a very good athletic shot stopper but lacks a presence in the box, which is key for goalkeepers here. Also I think he will be back up at Real still, even if they sign De Gea, Casillas is evidently past it, made too many errors the last 3 or 4 years.

Real are looking a bit like we did under Carlo in his last year, struggling for inspiration at times, delighted for Di Matteo to get that result but I had Real on my coupon, the fuckers. Great game for the neutral but if I was a Real fan or a Schalke fan I'd be concerned about how much goals they conceded and the actual ease of them.

His teams still can't defend very well though. West Brom, his Chelsea side after he won us the double and now Schalke look really dangerous attacking sometimes but over commit and leave easy chances for the opposition like we seen tonight, although Real played very bad and Casillas was pish.

Definitely been disappointing not just for United fans but a lot of England fans and even people on this forum when we were constantly linked thought he was better than Cole and even Bertrand who has replaced him at Southampton with ease.

Sulked like a baby? He wasn't in the squad for like the first 4 or maybe 5 league games but he stayed worked hard, fought to get into the squad and did. How is that sulking? He probably had chances to leave in the summer after Jose made it clear Oscar was his number 10. Lets be honest who wouldn't of wanted Mata after his last 2 years at Chelsea at that time? Only a handful of clubs wouldn't like Real, Barca and perhaps Bayern due to the players they already had but sure he couldn't wait to jump ship at the first opportunity he had which is why he left in January not in the summer when it was made clear he wasn't first choice after the Hull game and then the signing of Willian to play ON THE RIGHT WHERE MATA WAS TOLD HE WOULD BE PLAYING BY JOSE. Exposed like a fraud? The lack of respect for a player who was great here is really frightening. Sure he didn't fit under Jose exactly well but still if anyone can't say he carried us for basically 2 years before hand then they need a long look at themselves. A coward? If your a coward for wanting to move somewhere to play regularly then sure hes a coward, Salah's a coward, Schurrle's a coward, Lukaku's a coward, Ashley Cole's a coward, Lampard's a coward, David Luiz is a coward, Demba Ba is a coward... anyone who has left us to play regularly since 1905 is a coward then going by your logic.

Hes been a huge let down for United this year hasn't he? 32M as well was it, crazy really, we signed Costa for that ffs, really happy we didn't get him because even when he has played he's looked out of sorts and although Filipe Luis hasn't been a regular its obvious hes a better player. The argument about English clubs needing English players is gonna rumble on but I'd rather we looked at getting players for a decent fee like Cahill, Lampard, Joe Cole, Johnston, Ashley Cole etc before hand than spunking 30M on a 18 year old full back like United did. Obviously times have changed as well but like we did with Cahill, still shows there is value for money on some English players its just about finding the right ones.

Yeah that is true but there are the odd fullback that become wingers. Also a lot of players who used to play center half become fullbacks, I'm sure Gary Neville said this was what happened to him on Sky Sports, Micah Richards was also the same and even Ivanovic off the top of my head.

The same can be said about Salah, hes a right winger playing more as like a second striker or something like that but he is excelling in the role. You can't just say Cuadrado was a RB now hes a RW so he won't score a lot of goals, that is the case with a whole load of wingers these days. People said Cuadrado would be an upgrade on Willian - who people say doesn't 1) score enough goals or 2) make enough assists - as he was more decisive in the final third (as well as being a huge difference in quality to Salah and Schurrle) without even considering what Willian does off the ball is vital to the team and that Salah and Schurrle hardly played as often as they could have.

If you cost 100 million doing alright isn't enough in my eyes. Like I said when they first bought Bale, 100 million is crazy for a player who only had so much ability and potential, if they got him for 30-40 million then fine but 100.... Anyway my team for playing PSG would be: Courtois Ivanovic Zouma Terry Azpi/Luis Ramires Matic Cesc Willian Costa Hazard Probably our best team selection although I am still convinced Cahill is a better CB than Zouma.
