Frantic but exciting start to the United-Wolfsburg match, 1-1 after 15 minutes as LVG goes to the very aggressive pressing tactics that he employed last spring in the 2-1 vs Liverpool.
It seemed like the flag was late going up but the call was definitely correct. He was five yards offside and right in the path of the ball so it doesn't matter if he touched it or not.That would have never happened if Sir Bacon-nose were still alive.
Brutal refereeing.
It would be just like United to get trounced by Wolfsburg but luck into the knockout stages cos CSKA grab a goal in injury time to beat PSV 1-0.CSKA might still do United a solid here and beat PSV. 0-0 at the half and it doesn't look like either side has really been on top.
He wasn't in the the path of the ball and it was 30 seconds between net and flag.It seemed like the flag was late going up but the call was definitely correct. He was five yards offside and right in the path of the ball so it doesn't matter if he touched it or not.
He absolutely was involved in the play. The GK waits to dive into the path of the shot because he's waiting to see whether Mata is going to redirect it on net.He wasn't in the the path of the ball and it was 30 seconds between net and flag.
Don't make me advocate for United, you jerk.
Another good one involving the youth: Carrasco to Vietto!Gol Atleti! I love these young guys: Griezmann to Vietto to Saul. Great goal.
Seriously. They've had one shot on target all match.Would it kill PSV to score one goal.
Renato Sanches.This kid with the dreadlocks is awesome for Benfica.
As it stands, PSV would advance over United, both on 8 points but with better h-2-h. If United ties it up against Wolfsburg, then PSV needs to win to advance.They need one more, right?
They did one better than that. Of course Llorente ruins it for Juve.City has a chance to win their group with if they can find another goal against Gladbach and the 1-0 Sevilla-Juve scoreline holds.
Already conceded the title to Leicester, huh?Such a different performance from what I've become used to this season. The Naldo finish was exquisite and Draxler is a stud but United were all over the place. It's too bad because if you told me before the game they'd score 2 in Germany I'd have taken it in a second.
Hope Smallings injury isn't serious as its looking unlikely United will put some separation between them and the other teams battling for 2nd-6th.
Shouldn't all fans of BPL teams be rooting for United, and by extension, those two horrible London teams playing tomorrow?Don't make me advocate for United, you jerk.
Huh, I didn't realize that whole backstory about Powell. Maybe LVG strongly believes in his talent based on his observations in practice. But if he hasn't played much in the last couple years that just makes the switch even more confusing.I agree MMS. I thought Bosworth Jackson did well but was puzzled by Young not coming on. I actually felt the opposite about Varela though...he looked overwhelmed and intimidated. Martial and Memphis are starting to click which is enjoyable.
Powell is such a weird story. I'm not sure if you're familiar with it but essentially he was signed as future midfielder for the club then was loaned out and shined as a striker. He returned to the club and over the past few years injuries have derailed his career to the point where there were reports that he was considering retiring because he was bored with football. When he came on I actually thought it was going to be written in the stars that he scored the winner.
