We look gassed. The lottery of PKs seems like our only hope.

I'll give Villarreal credit. They have a style of play that allows them to compete at a higher level than the otherwise might. But that style of play is effectively "beat the ever living **** out of you".

This is all about getting the best PK takers on the field at this point

DeGea not looking too convincing thus far....

This could be interesting. If it gets that far the GKs have to kick.

I've gotten to 8 kickers in a HS playoff game but never farther.

Ole may be a really good man manager, and from all appearances the players think he is, but he's got no tactical clue about avoiding teams that sit in this block. I get that's hard to deal with for most teams but they have to find a way to be better there.

Hitting 10 or 11 in a row seems statistically unlikely in any circumstance. Getting down to the bottom of the order makes it even more remarkable.

Well...everything about that sucked.

We played horribly, got outcoached, had better players and underperformed, had to watch 120 minutes of crap, and endured 22 freaking PKs only to watch us lose. And now it's midnight.

I literally can not think of a worse game to endure. Everything about it was horrible. Not one redeemable thing about it.

So if Chelsea wins this weekend then two defrocked PSG managers would end up as champions.

The only way this could possibly be worse is if City win the CL.

I made a joke on Twitter that the only PK I remember De Gea saving was against Arsenal in that 8-2 game. Turns out, I wasn't that far off...

His last PK save was in 2016.

He hasn't saved a PK in his last 40 attempts (for both club and country).

40.

4.0.

Forty.

I am not even close to an expert but it just seems like he isn't there mentally. Struggles with committing to a side. He starts one way and but doesn't fully commit until the ball is on its way. Would rather see a committed wrong guess (eventually will be right) vs half attempts.

Yep, just kind of leans one way and falls over

Ole should have pulled him in extra time if he had any subs left...similar to the Dutch in the Euros a while back

I said we would lose in the lead up because we played like losers in the EPL. That's not how you want to go into a cup final.

I knew straight away that the only way we would win the shootout was if they missed because DDG did not look confident at all from the first kick. They never missed.

Rashford is not a goal scorer. Cavani cannot do everything.

Ole does not know how to break down a low block. He has proven that he cannot win a must a win game. I'm done with him.

We finished probably the worst 2nd place finish ever.

One of the things that really stood out out to me last night. Villarreal using their subs in the second half to bring on fresh players.

United's first sub was Fred in the 100'.

Someone tell me, how in the world does Manchester United have a worse bench than Villarreal?

It really shows what an abject failure Woodward has been at building a roster.

I think this was a big managerial problem.

I don't know how we didnt put in fresh legs earlier in the game.

Mata, Fred, James, Van de Beek all could have had an impact in the actual game.


Also....does Van de Beek beg to be moved? Why is he on our squad? Why did we sign him? Find ways to get him involved or let him go....

100%. Ole has terrible game management in regards to making timely subs. Our starters get run into the ground all year instead of giving the bench players an opportunity to prove their worth.
