Smal

we really need to get his contract sorted

Trips has lost all 6 of his duels that half. Looks desperate for a rest.

surely that can’t be a penalty man

think we’ve been pretty good considering

AI is nuts, man

decent analysis of what was good/bad last night in this thread.

yeah, this was on all first half. The one time Isak got put through was when he injured himself Very much an unlucky game for us tbh.

what did he add on in the second half? 4 minutes? It was outrageous.

do the under 21s play friendlies ever?

it’s 3 yellows for a suspension in the CL I think

hard to tell watching on TV but I imagine the drum was intimidating and off-putting to try and compete with because it was absolutely relentless. We're gonna have to learn to compete with it though if we're going to be in Europe often because it seems like most European fans bring one.

Looked like it might have been a broken collarbone to me (common injury in cycling because of what you do with your arms when falling from a crash - looked like a similar impact), in which case I'd guess at 6-8 weeks or so. Some come back faster.

yeah. Willock coming back is obviously huge. Could've done with Tonali starting tonight but I can certainly understand why he didn't.

Longstaff played 90 minutes on Saturday and Joelinton 80 after just coming back from injury. Possibly something to be learned there because both looked unusually lethargic tonight. Can't really afford to have the two runners in midfield not on it against someone like Dortmund.

extremely frustrating game. Dont want to be too harsh because ultimately it just didn’t go our way at times, but I kind of expect a bit more from Bruno in a game like that. He had all the time in the world in the second half and didn’t create anything.

how’s it only four minutes

Feel like Longstaff has possibly been playing a bit high up. Maybe drop him back a bit for some more control and focus on getting our crosses in from the right to the far post where we’ve regularly had Wilson and Joelinton man to man with them in the box.

I think we’ve committed one too many player in attack, like. Their counter attacks have been brutal and made us look very open.

ref’s been all over the place like. Definite pen for us, Gordon clearly had his shirt pulled before he was tackled for their goal and he just played on anyway, and then blowing his whistle for half time when Dortmund had a pretty good chance. Glad it’s not just English refs who are shite.

something been slightly off with the structure all game. Dortmund have had a spare player every time they’ve gone forward. We look a bit leggy.

Big Jo gone super saiyan again

He does seem to pick up quite a few niggles

They'll win but Man U are absolutely rancid like
