Afternoon Boys,
Thanks for starting us up
I will miss most of the first half picking up Kathy
I will be watching the match(and Chelsea's right now) on GALA in Spanish
Seems a very strange side by OGS today. I don't get it!
A chance to get a real stronghold on the group!!
Bruno and Rash both on the bench!
Telles not even on the bench!
Here is the side
De Gea
Obi-Wan, Lindeloff, Magurie, Shaw
Matic, Fred, Pogba, VDB
Greenwood, Martial
Bench
Hendo, Fos-Men, Mengi, Tuanzebe, Williams, Bruno, James, Mata, McTom, Cavni, Ighalo, Rashford
VDB finally gets a start but why for Bruno?
Does that mean they will never play with each other ?
When he has come on off the bench United have scored quite a few goals! He score against Palace. He came on in Paris and we scored the winner. We scored THREE after his appearance at SJP!
I don't get it
Tuanzebe played tremendously in Paris...so he's dropped for two straight games
Damn... PSG just scored in Istanbul....64th minute
Chelsea coasting through a dicey period of play despite being a goal-keeping clanger ahead. Still, more of this might just inspire Fwank into an epic bout of stress eating.
Afternoon Steve,
Kra have gone close quite a few times... more likely to score
Is Ollie resting players for Arsenal!
GRRR
Penalty to Crystal Palace.... I mean Chelsea
Pulisic with a shot rebounding off leg on to hand
Werner to take over the pen duties after Jorgie's miss
Up comes Werner..... WALLOPED in
now I have to listen to this madness on the mic
Wow... the TV is ahead of 5Live!!
Ex-Arsenal trainee Kristoffer Olson is as good as this mangy lot from Russia have got.
Chelsea with their second penalty of the day and unlike the skippy-dippy shite effort from Jorginho that hit the post, Timo Wenger puts his laces through the ball and Chelsea would seem to be home and hosed at this point in the match.
Just our luck if OGW is resting players for Sunday. Maybe he'll have to call on subs early today to right what is an odd looking lineup.
Crystal Palace! Hah.
Chelsea are now running away with it
3-0
Oh it's all going wrong now for the second raters from Russia. Chelsea have subbed in Pulisic and even when he's not on the ball, his movement if frightening the borsht out of 'em. That's Zyech now with the third of the night.
The commentator just mentioned that the score is flattering for Chelsea. He sounds like a mental patient to someone who has watched the game. It should be 4-0 but for Jorginho's little girl playing hopscotch penalty routine.
PSG
Moise Keane with a brace
I am leaving the CBS links for you, David and Bob because I will be missing most of the first half
GALA is showing it so I'm ok
Pulisic makes it Four nil
I disagree. Krasnodar efforts on goal have been without any quality. Mendy's made himself a highlight reel of comfortable saves. Chelsea have run the table without being completely convincing. Kras had a spell when they were in the Chelsea half a bit, but Chelsea's response was to step it up for goal 2 and 3.
You'd love these mugs in your group. And if by a miracle, they get dumped into the EL, I'd love a go at 'em. Russia's three entrant status should be immediately reviewed.
Kra's keeper first name must be MEG
Chelsea should have scored again!
Good Afternoon Dave and Steve. Here to join you for the CL action
Abraham with Chelsea's 4th. Easy as pie.
Welcome David
Wasn't it Yankee Boy with Chelsea's 4th?
Hiya David. Dave and I disagree about Krasnodar. I'm convinced they're the worst side I've seen in the CL this year. Chelsea have been at 1/2 pace and they're 4 clear ahead.
Sulymanov's wide effort is pretty representative of how woeful they are.
All over and Palace...I mean Chelsea...coast to a 4-0 win
I really dislike Lamps as a manager
Thanks, Dave. Chelsea have 0-4 at Krasnodar
All I said Steve was that they were creating some chances. They were on top in the second half
I mixed the goals up.
They did hit the crossbar
Thanks, Steve. Hoping for a United win vs a tough Leipzig side
VAR checking for a penalty in Istanbul
Without a shred of quality Dave. Chelsea sat back and let them play a bit. But after that Ecuadoran hit the bar, subs came on, and put them away. I'm not claiming that Chelsea were devastating. They were in control. 4-0 is 100% correct.
I guess nothing came of that
Yeah. Me too David. Leipzig is a proper test. Good luck.
PSG have won 2-0 in Istanbul
Moise Keane with a Brace
Hiya, guys - I'm just wrapping up some advising and hope run home and join you before long.
Not a great line up for United in my book
A strong bench!
I don't know why they don't go all out for a win here...they would be on 6 points with the Turks twice in a row!
Grr.....United wearing black shorts at home.... NOT ALLOWED
ADVISE them to go home!
Good afternoon, Bob.
Of course, United have not won at home yet this season!
Lost 2 drawn 1
Scored 2 Conceded 9
LOL< Dave! That's great advice. It's CL time.
First start for VDB. About time. Thomas Edison Cavani on the bench
I have to leave in just a few minutes but I will be back for the second half
I still have the 5Live commentary on my phone for car trip. I wonder if it will be synched with the picture on GALA
I think I will be ahead of you so I won't comment until you do
We are off
Martin Tyler calls Naglesman a snappy dresser. That 70s style wardrobe with the awful plaid jacket and the turtle neck is not exactly snappy
They're off from OT
I'd laugh if they wore home rest with those test-pattern zebra shorts.
Snd I am off
Talk to you in the second half
I agree Dave. United shouldn't change their shorts. Leipzig as the away team needs to change
Oh that Nagalsman outfit is tragic.
Cheers Dave. Look forward to chatting during the second half when United are hopefully leading
Bob will be pleased that Rotherham has taken the lead vs Not a Big Club
Pogba wins a free kick off of Kampl
Shot from Fred turned around by Gulasci after a free kick Shaw was headed on by Maguire
Fred of all people with a pretty spicy effort. Corner.
Kampl's hair is probably maintained by an 8 year old girl with a MLP brush.
OH! An errant karate chopped pass in a great position
It was a actually a fall by Greenwood as much as the pass
Disappointed that more didn't come of that good chance.
The Rams take the lead vs Cardiff as does Luton vs Forest
Brum takes the lead vs the Terriers
The Evil Lions take the lead at PNE and move up to fourth place
Dembele gives BArca the lead at Juve. Mess with the assist
Lazio takes the lead at Brugge
YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!! GREENWOOD SCORES WITH A GREAT FINISH
Very good. Pogba and Greenwood connect really well. Will VAR spoil the fun?
Nice through ball from Pogba , but may be disallowed because Greenwood's toes were offside
YES! The goal stands and a much needed lead for United
Wahey! The goal stands. It should. An eyelash is not far enough to be off-side. 1-0 United.
De Gea tips over a near post shot from Nkunku
Too easy for Leipzig to break. If that bloke had not let the ball run so wide, he'd have had more options than to pound the ball straight at DeGea.
Nempmekanu heads on the corner then the shot goes sideways
Agreed, Steve. United have sat back since taking the lead
Dynamo Chicken Kiev takes the lead at Ferencvaros
Hmmm. This looks like a planned reaction from Leipzig to what they should do if United scores first. Everything is stepped up and there's a press every time United has the ball.
I wish the commentators rather than endlessly going on about a VAR decision would acknowledge that VAR shouldn't be used to penalize a forward that's in line with his defender. The proper decision in that case is to allow the forward's positioning and that's what was given.
OGS gave you a wave David.
I agree Steve. They're spending too much time on the decision than the match
Thanks, Steve. I can put that on my CV
So, I'm finally home and am happy to see that United are leading.
God afternoon, Bob.
I'm not crazy about DVB's position as far left as he's been standing. He's gradually getting more central and because of that is more involved. The game passed him by out there.
Agreed, Steve. He is more effective in the center . He can play left if he drifts toward the center but he's definitely not a winger
Brugge ties it up vs Lazio while Dynamo Chicken Kiev goes two up in Fernecvaros
Angelino with a shot blocked by Obi Wan for a corner
Looks like Leipzig are laying siege on the United goal right now. If they can only get to the interval.
A minute of stoppage time
Evil Lions two up at PNE while Rotherham is three up vs Not a Big Club
United one up at the half
I am back
One nil United!!
5Live thinks it might have been offside
Phew! United have made it to half-time without further incident. OGS will need to add some reinforcements in the second half.
Welcome back, Dave. United the only home side leading in the CL today
On the replay it showed that the last defender's arm(elbow) was level with Greenwood's toes. The blue line drawn showed Greenwood was level
The second half is underway from OT
Henrichs booked for pulling back Pogba
Come on United!
It's over at Deepdale and the Evil Lions have won 0-2 , moving up to fourth place
OH! An errant karate chop that was poorly cut back and United could have scored
Welcome back Dave. It was close to offside, but it was so close that when they decided to defer to the forward, it gave me hope that VAR can eventually be used correctly. I'm so tired of all the VARs chalking off goals that should be going to the benefit of the forwards. When you see it, you'll agree as a striker that you would have wanted that call.
United want a pen...I think that would have been given in the Prem...I don't think it was but...
Remember, I am waiting to comment
I think I am ahead of you
Ten man Forest ties it up at Luton
A win be huge for United
6 points out of 6 would be great
Then two matches against the Turks
Matic may need a sub. He got booked for an elbow, and committed another elbowy foul. He was lucky that the ref let him get away with it, but someone should shout at him to knock it off.
Maguire needs to knock it off in the penalty!!
He pulled that guy down!
He was very iffy against Chelsea too
Juve ties it up vs Barca
I was thinking the same thing Steve
Juve ties it up vs Barca
Forsberg wins a corner off of compatriot , Lindelof
Well... VAR is checking it
I agree too, Steve. This sis a perfect time to replace Matic
5Live wants a second yellow for that tackle on Pogba
Why do the media ALWAYS want a man sent off
It should be a rarity!
Juve goal called back...second time today
Oooh. The replay shows that Maguire pulled Poulson down. He's lucky to get away with that.
Ferencvaros pulls one back vs Chicken Kiev. Now 1-2
Rashford about to come on
Cavani was warming up too
Will he change the front two?
Sevilla takes the lead vs Rennes
McTom about to come on...surely for Matic....suggested by Steve
Rash for Greenwood?
Man Bun man is about to come on....get a haircut!!!
SHOOT IT MARTIAL!
The most Covid of Covid based bad hair.
Through ball karate chopped VDB and stopped by a last ditch tackle
Rash on for Greenwood
McTom for Matic
Martial has done nothing...bring on Cavani
He almost scored twice when he came on before
Double change from Olly.Rash for Greenwood while Matic taken off due to a case of McTomain poisoning
Stupid foul by Fred
Cardiff equalize vs Derby
Cardiff ties it up at the Rams
Header at the back post....saved by De Gea
De Gea does well to tip over a header from Kanate after a poor headed clearance from Pogba
The threat of a second yellow for Matic sorted. Also, Greenwood gets a rest. McTom and Rash on. I could do Ole's job. Mind, you would loose badly when I select the tea-ladies and the two Glazers to face us twice a year.
I don't like how OGS thinks he needs integrate new players slowly......Good players can make a huge impact right away
Give Cavani a chance
Give Telles a chance
No Cavani. Boring.
Still no Cavani
Bruno about to come on...for who? VDB? Pogba?
You know who I would take off!!
Bournemouth take the lead vs Bristol C
They would go second
It is VDB off...wrong choice Ollie
Bruno on for VDB
United do have a lot of options!!
He needs to use them often
Badly used VDB, off and Bruno on.
Rash fouled just outside the Leipzig box by Halstenberg
Free kick chance for United as Rashford is brought down
Who will take it... Rash? Bruno?
Come on.....put it in.....it is going to be Bruno....chipped to Pogba...almost
Sort of a wasted free kick.... no shot
A lobbed free kick from Bruno comes off the shins of Gulasci who didn't expect it
Foul by Maguire....he is like a bull in a china shop
Martial is clueless....he can't take anyone on
BRING ON CAVANI!!
Under 20 to go
Terriers tie it up at Brum
Personally.... Bruno has not been outstanding for United as of late
Scored some goals but nothing to write home about
United with a chance.... useless cross!!
SO ANNOYING!
SUCH A LOST ART
Case in point there by Bruno!
Of course.... Pogba did not sprint to get in front of the defender there!!...
Rashford puts the ball in the net... called offside
He was in his own half!!
Has to count
BUGGER! Rash with a goal disallowed for offside. He wasn't because he was in his own half when the ball was played. United should have been two up
VAR checking. It should count
Come on...he's in his own half!!
That has to count....TWO NIL!!!!
I hate this crap having to celebrate twice!
WAY HAY! It counts which it should and United are two up
THREE NIL... RASHFORD SCORES AGAIN!!
Brilliant. Sod VAR, he was onside. 2-0!
WAY HAY ! RASH AT THE DOUBLE OFF THE BENCH AS HE PUTS UNITED THREE UP. GREAT FINISH
Wahay! This is looking like a terrific result!
Bloody hell! Rashford again. 3-0. Stuff your fancy dress Nagalsman.
Great tackle by Fred on Halstenberg. Rash pushed it past Nepumekanu and Scored with a great finish
Looking good in the group too...beat the Turks twice and we would have 12 points
Dortmund take the lead
Here comes Cochise, at last.
Brum takes a late 2-1 lead vs the Terriers
I think you'd look good in that jacket Steve!
I thought I saw your dad wearing it.....or mine!
Sancho with the goal
It was a spot kick from Sancho
Tuanzebe and Cavani coming on
For Obi Wan and Pogba
Palace reject, Sorloth heads over a corner from Forsberg with a free header
Thomas Edison Cavani on for Obi Wan as Olly has seen the light
You're not wrong. I don't know what my mum was thinking buying him patterned suits. If there was ever a man that couldn't be trusted to sort plaids, herringbone, stripes, it was my Dad. Bob will remember Mom looking out the kitchen window at Dad getting in the car and calling him back to change.
Great run by Rash.....blocked!
HE IS BEING POSITIVE!!
The possibility of a hat-trick is working wonders for Rash.
I want a Cavani goal and a Rash hat-trick
Martial thru..... tackled!!
Penalty!!!!
Will Rash take it for the hat-trick
Man-bun clatters Martial. Give the pen to Rashford!
Rashford is giving it to Martial.... it will be Martial...FOUR NIL
What a twat. That's Rashford's for a hat-trick.
At least he finished it. 4-0!
WAY HAY! UNITED KARATE CHOP THEIR WAY TO A FOUR GOAL LEAD WITH A SPOT KICK
Rash should really have taken it
It does open his account but... CL H-T
Cavani nets..... offside!!
BUGGER
That COVID supposedly heavy metal hair cut hasn't helped as Sabitzer has had a mare since coming on
Anything Chelsea can do....United can do
Cavani with a goal disallowed for offside. He was well off
Bruno hashed that up for Cavani to open his account.
A great way for United to get their first home win of the season
Juve a goal down and now a man down
Demiral 2 yellows
Ferencvaros have come from two down to make it Desmond vs Dynamo Chicken Kiev
How tragic is Poulson? He tries to win free-kicks. Anything else. And yet, the Swiss are a bit tasty at the moment. He's not.
United's win impressive considering it's been against the Bundesliga leaders
Barca double their lead in Italy
The number of stoppage time minutes matches the number of United goals
GOAL.... RASHFORD NETS HIS HAT-TRICK!!
Poulsen definitely not a Great Dane
When did he come on?????
There it is! Rashford is living his best life at the moment. Well done Marcus.
WOW! A HAT-TRICK FOR RASH A S UNITED GO FIVE UP. GREAT TOPUCH AND FINISH OFF A GREAT KARATE CHOPPED PASS
Rash must be the top scorer in the CL this season
That is 4 from 2
United in a great position in the group
Paulson is Danish? I thought Swiss. OK, well I'm right about him being rubbish at least.
He scored three in 20 minutes!!
United win FIVE NIL!!!
LOVELY JUBBLEY!!!
It's over as United thrash Leipzig 5-0 . Rash with a hat-trick off the bench
Now they're off to Turin with Barca still two up
Have a great rest of the week fellas
Good luck tomorrow, Steve
Wow. That is a whipping. 5-0 against the leaders in the Bundesliga. Enjoy that David and Dave. I'm out. Cheerio.
