Tuchels just made some criminal changes in this CL semi and now looks to be going out.

Soon as i saw the changes i backed Madrid at 10/1….
Just going to post exactly the same. Woeful commentary too. Surely one of them should know you can’t be offside if you’re behind when it’s played.
I was thinking that, was clearly a goal, first replay proved it but they were still unsure, he was well onside !!!

Assistant has made a howler for the de Ligt "goal" though, he has to wait there until VAR intervenes and tells him it's onside or offside.

Really don't want a trigger happy lino in the Champions League semi final, do you?

Yep, a goalkeeping howler and throwing away a lead late on - he will feel right at home here smile

On a serious note, I'd rather a manager making a dodgy sub in the semi final of a CL vs one of the world's best teams as opposed to one who can't manage a team of superstars to a convincing win against Newport County or Coventry though.

That being said, it's proven time and time again that taking off an attacking player for a defender just invites the opposition on, it baffles me why managers repeatedly make that mistake.

Agree ,especially when they take off the one player who all their attacks were playing through ,and especially against Madrid in the champs league .

To be fair whatever he did would have been wrong, it’s Real in the Champions League they are virtually guaranteed to win somehow no matter how late in the day it is, their self-belief is off the charts, though I imagine they must have defibrillators next to every seat in the stadium to tackle the heart attacks suffered by their supporters.

Exactly what’s been said. No idea why anyone would take their main striker off when you know Madrid have to attack and there is a good chance of a breakaway goal. All you do is free their defenders to play higher up the pitch and cause you more problems.

The linesman flagging for offside was a disgraceful decision.

Aye, couldn't believe the linesman flagged when they usually let the phase of play play out these days. No guarantee the goal would have happened though because it looked like the Madrid players stopped although I may be wrong, only saw it a couple of times.

Very odd though. I'd be sick if I was a Bayern fan.

Could well have done Adam, but come on it’s more likely the sheer incompetence of Tuchel. Defending a one goal lead away from home with minutes to go you’d be throwing more attackers on not strengthening the defence as that suits our resident thread imbeciles’ thought processes.

Doesn’t really matter though as it’s constantly clear that a few thread contributing United “supporters” but I prefer to term them as “fans” could do far better jobs than either Tuchel or ETH despite never working in football and I doubt have reached the upper echelons in their own industries something both ETH and Tuchel have comfortably done. I’m speculating on the final point but happy to proved wrong but that would mean being less anonymous but angry small men that have to argue online are far happier with the anonymity.

I’m going with small man for LF3553 particularly as he likes to ride a super bike with a flip up number plate too avoid speeding convictions in Cyprus as he knows best and Cypriot laws don’t apply to his bike riding. Deduced by 5 minutes of looking at his post history, well it screams . IMO. OBVS. Perhaps he does know best but given his prowess when it comes to football knowledge I doubt it.

Please enjoy my flounce.

I've just gone to put Radio 5 live on to have some background noise whilst I do life admin, and noticed that from 19:30 there's an hour and a half show about our current plight.

Might be worth a listen, might not, but thought I'd give you all a heads up.
This is a good listen. Gives some good insight on what’s going on behind the scenes and also they discuss ETH.

No idea what you were hoping to achieve by typing all of that, what you have actually achieved is coming across as someone who can't tolerate a differing opinion and a bit of a w@nk stain.

There's a burgeoning market for exchange of this st, mostly on undergarments.

Anyways, feeling oddly pessimistic that we can get a point against les Gooners ce weekend.
