Utd vs Bilbao

[nightgoat]

Bilbao should be out of sight.

 

[lol]

if only we could have such work rate. contenders for sure. bilbao should have been at least 3 - 0 up..

I'd love us to play like this. All the fancy pants stuff but the work-rate is next level shit. Proper order.

Need to be prepared to put the hours in on the training ground. Not sure that culture of hard work, the application and dedication, exists at our club or English football in general.

I hope our players/Harry are watching this and taking note.

Work rate aside, it's one two's with lot's of movement, so simple but immensely effective.

Yep. Lacking that little bit of firepower. Especially with Llorente off the pitch.

Outpayed Yanited for all but about 5 minutes over both ties so far. Brutal stuff. Hope Athletic get top 4. They could do some damage to more egos in the CL next season.

Too much golf to play and birds to pork.

 

[mpickard2087]

Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal.

 

[ikky]

Goalllll! Well deserved 2nd

I agree.

Might be very painful for a few yrs to weed out the players who really want to win, and those who merely like the thought of winning and earning huge gobs in the meantime but aren't really prepared to put in the hard graft.

Once you did get rid of the sheep though, wow, you get 5-2 up over Yanited with a team largely filled with under 23 yr olds.

And the scoreline flatters Yanited.

 

[lol]

I hope our players/Harry are watching this and taking note.

its hard for a man manager like harry to do such discipline defensive drilling. its like hes the "nice grandpa" kind of manager. bielsa is different. if you read up about him, hes crazy with his training, and he demand only absolute perfection from him players during the drilling..

 

[nightgoat]

Dunno why Collymore's waffling on about them being definitely out now, they still need to score three...

 

[cwy21]

I'm confused. I thought the other 18 teams in La Liga we're all crap and Barca/Real just beat up on Championship caliber teams?

 

[ikky]

Why couldn't we open up united so easily?

 

[ikky]

Should've been 3 ( or 5 or 6)

 

[Misfit]

Aye, this is hardly a great advert for the awesomness of the prem, especially as the prem team being sodomised without lube is one of the 2 clubs themselves head and shoulders ahead of the rest of the prem.

 

[mpickard2087]

Watching this, this is exactly what I mean when I say stuff like 'I believe Harry isnt getting anywhere near 100% out of the players we have'.

They play nice football but are well-drilled tactically, everyone understands their role and what they are being asked to do and have the ability to adapt if needs be during the match,they also run themselves into the ground and play like their life depends on it.

I hope we are watching and taking notes.
