Great post David.

Genuinely thought it was a good choice but I see so much of Hodgson at Liverpool in Moyes at Utd I think I could be very wrong.

One for the scrap book.

I don't think he has lost the dressing room.  I don't think he ever had the dressing room at any stage of this season to actually lose.  I went to the Manure v Stoke game this season relatively early in the season as guests of betfair and spoke to numerous people during the day who worked at the club who weren't convinced by Moyes.  I remember reading his program notes the same day as they were the same negative dross he has been pulling out in the media for months.  The bottom line is anyone on this forum could probably coach this Manure team to their performance this season across all competitions given the level/depth of talent within their squad.  They were very lucky to get 3 points against Stoke that day.  I really feel if Manure had run bad this season they would be in even worse shape than they actually are.

The thing that people overlook is that the United team of the last few years under SAF was, statistically, running incredibly well.    In terms of the stuff that the analystics guys look at like shots, shots on target etc they were never more than about 3rd or 4th in the Premier League.  I don't know whether that was because Fergie had some magic formula or they just ran good but either way they were always very likely to regress somewhat.  Possibly it has been worse than expected but they also lost a fair few important players too.

Oh please lord, just let us have some fight tonight.

I just want to see a team who looks like they want to win.

Only banker for tonight is the atmosphere will be incred like it has been all season.

20 times man united, playing football the Matt busby way.

European nights at OT are special, if the team can't raise their game tonight then it feels like they never will. A fighting exit would be something, a fighting progression to the next round would be something else.

Frighteningly, we need to win every game from here to the end of the PL season to equal our worst ever points tally...

agreed and im gonna miss them next year. Just hearing that music sends tingles down your spine. A good start tonight would be good. Nice early goals!

Result!

I know it's not cool, but I like seeing United do well (we spurs fans know how crucial you've been to stopping Chelsea and the other team winning the league over the past fifteen years). Pleased for you tonight.

You're the outsider of the eight now and that must be a bit weird for you!?

Happy with anyone but Barca/Real/Bayern?

I've enjoyed Man Utd's downfall this season but was also pleased to see them go through.

Mata looked so good through the middle and Kagawa put a decent shift in too.

Feel for Fellani who is nothing like a holding midfielder

But was chosen as Man of the Match...

Would it be unfair to suggest Rooney hasn't produced in big European games for Man U overall ? Would say he'd be lucky to get a 6 tonight, just doesn't feel like the 1st time I've felt he hasn't done it for you in these big CL games. I was impressed by Carrick, and Wellbeck had a decent game other than the wasted chance.

Rooney hasn't really done it for England in the big games neither, I've always been a big fan but think this is becoming a pretty big question mark over how good he actually is, or maybe I'm just hugely over-exaggerating it.

[George2Loose]

Rooney did well tonight. It was tough for out forwards.

Again Fellani just isn't good enough to play in front of the back 4. Play him up top or take a loss on him. Waste of time- if we hadn't played such a ridiculous price for him he would've been droppe by now
