Well, no late equaliser from Cantona this time! I hope they've demanded the VAR tapes from UEFA concerning Casemiro's completely undeserved second yellow.
 
Not sure why Casemiro was a 2nd yellow and not a straight red as it was preventing a clear goal scoring opportunity but my god that new Keeper of theirs is pretty shit. De Gea for all his faults saved them time and time again but this new one isnt a patch on shot stopping like he was.
 
That is a fucking horrific result for the rags. Galatasaray may have invested significantly, but to lose at home in that manner is ridiculous and must fucking burn after seeing us win the thing last season. As much as they've been shite, you know deep down they think they're still big enough to challenge and that it can't be that hard if we're doing it. They're a million miles away. They've got a huge job to qualify now. FC Copenhagen made Bayern work very hard last night, so the rags are going to have to pull something out the bag just to make it into the Europa League from here. It's fucking wonderful!!!

The form of Rashford is absolutely shocking. He runs it when he should pass, passes when he should shoot. He's lost his head, as have all of them. I thought Ten Hag was a decent manager, but clearly he's lost his head as well!

Keep it coming! I remember the times as a kid I could sing the blues, now it's every fucking week!

I agree, seems pretty average to me. But that said, he's in a pretty average team.

I honestly think United's biggest problem is the power they give to certain players that aren't as good as what they're cracked up to be.

If I'm the manager walking in there, I'm getting shut of Rashford.

You can't have players like that sulking and strolling around like he's on the beach. His application and attitude is absolutely terrible.

If he walked around like that playing for Pep, it wouldn't be long until Pep completely binned him off.

There was one incident in the second half where Rashford was through on goal and all he had to do was roll it across the face of goal to a teammate for a tap in. He took far too long and passed the ball too short and at the wrong time. Then literally walked off like he genuinely wasn't even arsed that he'd wasted a golden opportunity for his teammate.

He just doesn't have what it takes. You just don't win titles with players like that.

Then you have Bruno who literally goes missing in almost every big game.

If these are the two players the Rags are counting on, they're never ever going to compete for titles. The whole squad needs an overhaul.

They need to be bringing in the right characters. The mentality and attitude in that dressing room is at an all time low. Embarrassing.

Rashford is just not a very good footballer. He had a decent purple patch last season, lots of average players have had a good few months before. I always said he can't sustain it, he's not good enough.

if he has 3 seconds to think about something, his decision making and end product falls apart. Dangerous enough running into empty space but that's about it.

If your team has any aspirations of playing good football and keeping possession, he isn't your man, he's technically not very good. I can see a use for him if a game is very stretched and you want a sub to come on and potentially get on the end of some long ball where there's plenty of space, then hes a pretty good option.

But he has a very lazy attitude on the pitch. Heart the size of a pea.
