"Like [after] the draw, we knew it would be a fight with Valencia for second position."

Inspirational from Jose

Gave Juve far too much respect in the 1st half. Stood off them and allowed them to pass the ball around as they liked. Soft enough goal given away didn't help matters either. 2nd half United had far more aggression to their play and for the effort they put 2nd half probably deserved a goal.

Only one point taken from the two home games will be United downfall in this group now as i still expect Valencia to finish 2nd.

Spineless and Gutless. Young, Smalling, Pogba, Matic and that clown up front all are terrible.

No shame in that present Man Utd group losing 0-1 at home to a good Juventus side.

They're playing for Utd not Liverpool. That may be acceptable at Anfield but not at OT.
Too many average players and a clueless manager.

I think what he's trying to say is there's no shame in the team sitting 10th in the Premier League losing to the Serie A leaders.
If anything they overachieved last night

It looks like the group could well come down to the last game against Valencia away from home. A draw there should be enough to scrape through but given the level of performance we have seen, it is by no means certain. Failure to qualify out of a relatively easy CL group would see another complete waste of a season. Meanwhile there exists a certain air of apathy inside the stadium at games, a complete disconnect between fans and team.

But United fans are better than all the other fans this doesn't make sense???

Games against premium opposition highlight the problem with Lukaku. His heavy first touch will be ok against most Premier League teams where you get 4 touches to get it under control but last night you couldn't afford waste an inch in possession.
Matic is also a player that needs phasing out soon and either Herrera or Fred would have done a better job.
You'd also suspect that Rashford is not going to evolve into a great either when you see how bad his decisions are.

Rashford is basically looking round him and thinking, should I give the ball to these other shitebags who'll probably lose it anyway or maybe I'll try this 1 in 10 option. He's probably making the right decisions in fairness.
