It's no surprise that result is it? When you have an 18 year old and a 19 year old as full backs. Add mcnair who is 20 at centre back and blind a midfielder playing CB.

Then add lingard, Powell, martial, perreria, depay who played are all 21 and under. 

I would hazard a guess that's the youngest team to grace the premier league this season. Blame recruitment, can blame that side though.

in the mean time, herandez scores a hat trick in germany, and ashley youngs sits on the bench...

 

utd have injury issues, but their last two losses (imo) can be blamed on bizzare sub choice

If that match had been at OT, I reckon that the boos at the final whistle would be today's social media viral video.

Would United have lost if Mata stopped on, like wise fellaini? Probably.

I agree that it looked unlikely that Utd would score yesterday, but they'd have looked more likely to score with fellaini than without him.

I agree it was a strange substitution, to say United wouldn't of lost is a bit extreme.

 

Could of been a lot worse, Murray missed a couple of sitters.

yup, he did, the first one particularly (the 2nd wasn't so easy, the ball was behind him).

That's a £3M striker who missed those sitters, while the £50M men of Utd couldn't find the goal either.

Although you are right about LVG's recruitment, I doubt there'll be any sympathy from Bournemouth when it comes to having to field 2nd choice players cos of injury.

I'm sure there won't be much sympathy anywhere.

End of the day United only had 9 players out injured. To rely on 7/8 players under 21 and under, a few of them being total rookies is ridiculous.

I thought the rookies did well, just the experience cost them as the game went on.

utd have a home game against norwhich next week at ot. that one screams 'draw'...

 

rumours are that rooney isnt injured, just that he turned up training drunk...

I hadn't heard that, but I see twitter is full of it.

I guess the stories about Rooney going to china in the summer might have some truth in then, them - tho it's probably one of the better things which could happen to Utd. Based on his performances for well over year, he's been a big name with little impact.

Worse than Utd not being able to give up on him tho is Woy. Whatever's going on with Rooney and no matter how he plays between now and the summer, I just can't see Woy leaving him behind.

Yeah I've heard that, it was mentioned by a BBC journalist.

i hope they play vardy in the next couple of friendly. him and kane as the main strike force would be the best bet. sturridge has a place on the team, but is too injury prone to be relied on

I agree, no team has been screwed more than Bournemouth in this way. However they haven't moaned or used it as an excuse.

I still can't see him leaving. I know there is big money available in China, but he has a big contract here with a few years left to run. He comes across as a bit of a homeboy and I suspect he will feel it's not worth the hassle. I think he will leave man Utd the day his contract expires.

[Gucci Piggy]

If he carries on scoring then United will definitely drop a fat wad on Kane in the Summer.

[TheGayTent]

Well you expect cock ups like that but you don't from Lloris. 

Quite happy with both results mind.

Aye, Wales should be delighted with the draw, as they're good enough to get out of that. Surely a decent wee run at it would be better than being papped out in a glamour tie?

I'm over the moon. We now have a very good chance of getting out of our group which is what I wanted. I don't care about glamour ties, I just want us to progress as far as possible in the competition. I'll take this over the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland's group any day.

I'm a bit disappointed in the draw. Wales have waited so long that I wanted a bit of glamour, instead we have a top seed next door featuring players I see every week and 2 pretty uninspiring other teams.

Chuffed with that draw, we've got tickets for Wales v Slovakia in Bordeaux, Croatia vs Turkey in Paris, Germany v Poland in Paris, and potentially a Welsh QF if we came 2nd in the group and made it that far...

[kaosmark2]

16. Chelsea

[mrtourette]

A good draw for England regarding the potential to progress, although looking at the teams involved I can imagine that group being pretty tedious. D & E look like the most interesting.

How long will this last for Leicester?

Bet they wish they'd never sacked Ranieri.

Top 4 now I think.

The next three games will be interesting for them, probably a tougher task than tonight and they struggled for the last 30 mins.

Hindsight really, its not like Ranieri's been a superstar everywhere he's managed. Amazed Mourinho's doing so badly though, still think they could reach spots for Europa League if they have a very good second half of the season though.

[kaosmark2]

Yeah, I was jesting really. 12/13/14 years on (whichever it is) this is the only time since he's seriously impressed. He was hard done by back then though.
