Back on the horse and all that.

Who knows what sort of team will turn up in this one! We are definitely like a pack of revels and today was definitely the coffee one!

Anywhoo we will smash ‘em….maybe. :/
 
Heads certainly look down and this is the first of two tough away games in Europe so they’ll need to turn up at their best to get out of this one with anything.

I suspect it’ll be time to give Hojlund and Mount a start to get some minutes into their legs.

You would hope there’s a reaction coming after that disaster today.
 
Yeah you would hope to see a reaction but Porto is not an easy place to go to regardless of how their team is doing.

Interested to see if Mainoo is out of this one as looked like he was injured when he came off after the Bruno sending off.

I reckon Eriksen, Mount and Hojlund in for this one at a minimum.
 
Even good Utd sides have struggled to win there in the past.

It's a tough game and Utd still carry a big scalp in Europe so everyone is going to turn up and put in their best against us and we just aren't ready for that sort of test in every game.

Everything seems to be very fragile now things have started to crack and honestly it doesn't seem like something that will be fixed quickly. Everyone looks burned out and fed up with how it's going.

Honestly I think we'll lose this one.
 
Onana

Maz De Ligt Maguire Martinez

Ugarte Eriksen

Amad Mount Garnacho

Hojlund

Are you? I’d say if you are a pack of revels then it’s one with the good flavours removed.
 
Being of an age, I can remember the initial Revels launch in the 60's and the pure heaven of chocolate covered peanuts.

60 years on and I still order just them in 3 kg bags. :)
 
No Mount unable to play due to the stitches in the cut he sustained on Sunday.
 
Oh for the days of Terry Butcher and Paul Ince.

I wouldn't want to cast aspersions about the lad but I'm sure if he really wanted to play he could find a way to do it.

You wonder if it was a decision made before they knew Bruno's ban was being over turned
 
Can see Dan Gore is in the squad after his long injury lay off. This kid could be a very good player for us - it was a shame he got injured when he did.

2-2

Can't defend balls into the box.

No pressure on the cross two players dangling legs rather than sprinting out to stop crosses.

The opposition have gifted us 2 goals and we can't even take advantage of that, this team is so poor.
 
It started well…not impressed with our defending I keep saying we are crap on our left time and time again the goals come from that side.
 
Think the thing I hate most about the Europa League is it means you get Savage doing the comms on our game all the time.
 
Don't think our back four are getting the best protection from Eriksen and Casimero. We look pretty good going forward but defensively, I'm worried
 
I think the big issue is our full backs are getting caught way to high up the field.

3-2 now Samu again he's looking a real handful expect to hear what his massive release clause is in the next few weeks.

Down our left side again, how does the manager watch this and not change it.
 
I expressed my doubts about Deligt when the club were after him, he’s been absolutely crap tonight
