At last some good news for United, Fred looks like he’s injured himself.

but but but needs to do it in a proper league.

Couldn't agree with you more pal.

that looked painful!

Carrick looks equally clueless. All he needs is the i-pad.

She's just told me to shut up for laughing and calling Ronaldo a fucking prick

Just googled for fun... he scored 1 free kick in 72 tries for Juventus... that's amazingly shit

Bad news for Villareal if Fred has to go off.

He's fucking shite at free kicks, he hit a couple years ago that went in due to the weird way that ball flew and thinks he's the best in the world.

Why do United get the ball back from that drop ball when Villarreal were in possession when the ref blew?

Interim manager in anything other than a tracksuit is trying too hard.

The commentator's build up and Ronaldo puts it straight in the wall.

Let me guess, put the ball down dramatically, took about 3 paces back, one to the side, put his hands on his hips, took a deep breath before puffing his cheeks out before slamming it straight into the wall?

Good work, I was just wondering that. Where do you find such stats? Wonder who has the best free kick strike rate in football?

Because the ref thought Wan Bissaka was just kicking it away, little did he know that's his attempt at a pass to a teammate.

The bit you missed out was the way he stood there with his legs very wide angled, as if he's doing a shoot.

Just realized it is this mad lad of a ref.

in the Villarreal game? Felix Brych, he’s actually been quite calm so far.
Still plenty of time to book all the players and ignore about 29 blatant fouls though.

Wan-Bissaka with all the grace of a baby giraffe.

How much money have they spent to line up with the likes of Telles, Fred and McTominay in an important CL game? Jesus wept, those bang average mid-table players.

Yep. The man is something else, but he has been pretty unobtrusive so far. Besides blowing for non head injurers.

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #63 on:** November 23, 2021, 06:41:20 pm »

They probably have a good opponent tonight, as useless as they are.

disgraced cake · « **Reply #64 on:** November 23, 2021, 06:41:33 pm »

Criminal that these could lose tonight and still top the group come the end of it. They've been genuinely crap in all the games and even lost to the weakest side in it. One of Atalanta or Villarreal will be left kicking themselves but should fare well in the Europa League

Makes you realize how spoiled we are to watch exciting, creative football on a weekly basis (with the exception of the int'l break that is....)

Carrick heading into the second half unbeaten, get that contract ready.

Nice preamble to this game in the Guardian.

The latest test of Manchester United’s awfulness comes at Villarreal, currently an unimpressive 12th in the Spanish top flight table - they drew seven of their first eight games this season, six of those in La Liga, which didn’t really help - but with two wins and just one goal conceded in their last three matches seem to be coming back into form. United will hope they can do likewise after disposing of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer following Saturday’s abysmal defeat at Watford. His temporary-for-now replacement, Michael Carrick, certainly seems to have the right priorities: “What matters now is getting the right results,” he said. Though I suppose that is also what mattered before.

Carrick also revealed how the players reacted to Solskjaer’s departure. “All things considered it went really well,” he said. “Everyone adapted in a really classy manner.”

It seems pretty clear to me that he must have said that everyone adapted in a really classy manor, specifically the palatial abodes to which they retreated when they were released early from training because like usual they skipped the tactical work, though I suppose I could be mistaken.

Laughing at Manu is now a national sport.
