Well, that was worth the 45 minutes of my time. Barca don't look anything like they used to be and they're embarrassing the Rag defence. Not listened in but I can guess that the pundits are saying how unlucky the Rags are and from having a quick look at the Been it seems there is no way you can blame the Hobbit, it was all the defence and the keeper.

Has The Hobbit got a clue about tactics or is his only gambit to park the bus and use Rashford for the quick counter?

Let's see if the Rags can do anything in the second half, not holding my breath though.

PS. If they're going to play like this against us, I cannot wait!

Paul: I rushed home from work for this?!? Might see if there’s any overtime going for the second half

Kate: Said the girls could stay up to watch the first half... They’ve just gone to bed.

Dan: Can't help thinking Man Utd made the mistake of thinking they were playing Bayern Munich tonight

Indeed, Ajax just making a few passing mistakes, but they are young, break fast and clearly have lots of energy.

Could be a handful.

Mind you, Juve keep playing it long and are not helping themselves here. Tranny is definitely passed it , he has no speed any more.

I liked the comment on the BBC that Baby Face looks like a boy who lied about his age to get a ride on the ghost train.

The romanian press are previewing the game tomorrow during the half time.

"Without any doubt, Ryad Mahrez is ace that the team in Manchester is holding in their mission to change their fortune tomorrow".

See fellas, the romanian tuica (vodka) is some heavy shit you must avoid. It fucks with your brain. :)

He hasn't got a fucking clue. Most of the pundits glossed over that while they beat PSG, the rags only had 18% (!) They play diabolical football and completely rely on a moment of good play from one of theirs or a fuckup from the other team. They're creating fuck all and will be found out in the best way over the next 6 months.

I liked the one from ex-Rag Fletcher saying that the Rags were unlucky to be behind and inferring that they were far the better team in the first half.

I also liked this:

Barcelona are so over-rated, lots of passive passing around the back, Messi's second goal is basically a back pass and he still being worshipped as if it was a wonder strike. If Utd get the next goal, things will get interesting.

I'm amazed by this Ajax team. They're so much better in Europe than in the league too.
