Man Utd Thread:

[Jeepers Creepers]

There was no plan B. When PSG were really going for it 10 minutes either side of the goals you could see he was troubled as what to do. I will put this down to lack of squad depth.
McManaman made the point that once Martial & Lingarrd went off PSG knew there as no pace to get in behide them which allowed them to attack in numbers.
In Fairness the whole PSG team really put in a shift, great balance in their team and looked like they had a point to prove.
Utd have done well in climbing back up the table so losing to PSG who have been gunning for the Champions League for the past number of years aint that big a deal at the moment IMO.
The injuires are the big concearn for the upcomming english domestic league & cup ties.

He's not been with the group long enough to properly implement a plan b.

United need PSG to not perform like they did and a bit if luck to get through especially when you consider how well PSG played. Losing 2 players through injury before half time and then the referee's failure to send off their centre half twice was clearly very unlucky.

Martial and Lingard out for 2/3 weeks, gonna have to find a plan b as it's hard to see the players on the squad that can play the way he's been playing. Unless Lukaku on the right of Rashford, it's a role he's had success in for Belgium or even Sanchez central with Rashford and Lukaku flanking him..

United need to focus on beating Chelsea in fa cup and finishing fourth. CL is gone.

Me too

Beating Chelsea I would really like. Them backstards always seem to beat United in the cup.

Would give up the the FA cup to get fourth surely?

I'm not sure I would.

People remember trophies rather than fourth spot. So I'd take the cup over fourth. Plus, if Ole gets the job ft, maybe a season out of the CL will allow him to build away from the pressures of all that.

Does anyone really remember FA cup winners anymore? Honestly, really?

Wigan fans certainly do.

But yes, they do. It's not as big an occasion as it was (due to saturation of football on tv), but it's still valuable.

I'd bet one of the requirements for Ole to get the job full time is to finish in the top 4 and this same United board didn't take a cup over fourth when they got rid of Van Gaal.

Which one is worth more money? Which one will attract decent quality players to the club?

Van Gaal got a very handy draw right through the FA cup that year. But he was sacked because he played the most mindnumbingly boring football over two whole seasons.

Future money and attracting players for another season is a side issue. It's about the here and now and winning trophies. The fa cup is a trophy, fourth place isn't.

If I had to choose between Armagh winning Ulster, or getting to the 4th round of qualifiers. It's a no brainer - Ulster it is.

I don't think the business men in the board room care much about the style of football. They care about profits and Champions league football is big money even if you make an exit at last 16 stage like United will this season.
