Can we drop this Spence thing? He was good back in February but has been shocking since the MArch International break.

Porro was our best player today and Udogie wasn't far behind him. Just drop the agendas and be open to changing your opinion with new evidence. This spence stuff is getting boring

Would love to see us try Porro and Destiny at FB and see what Spence can do further up instead of BJ

Nah. The 1st and 3rd came from putting them under pressure. The second is something that has clearly been worked on repeatedly in training as Johnson noted in his interview. All well deserved goals. There were plenty of other good openings that ultimately didn’t materialise as well.

That said, Bodo are a completely different prospect at home, so will have to be right on it.

Clear foul by Biss on our first. That's never a pen on Romero, but Udogie's foul on their guy is. Romero could (should?) have been sent off for that off the ball incident. Ref was homecooking all night long. We'd be fuming if that had gone the other way round.
 
Not enough from Spurs - that was shit...I was really fukkin confident about this game (as much as a burnt out Spurs fan can be)

Yes we won but not enough for me to be comfortably 'through to the Final'

We played against a team that fukkin headed the ball out of play from their own damn throw in...Bodo played terribly & we had no fukkin intensity & ALL yes ALL of our Goals came from their mistakes, we created none of them & the fact we conceded a goal, in the most pathetic way, is a disgrace...

Yeah people can celebrate the win but my mind at all times was on the second leg & we should've aimed for 4 or 5-0. We could've done it against Bodo with their form tonight how many times did we not capitalise??? ANSWER - Too many...

Bodo's home record is not something to be sniffed at - if we fukk up on a damn plastic pitch in the artic circle we are fukked - we need to at least be 2-0 up by half time away...

We had no intensity, no man to man tackling at all in the first half, running but not actually pressing, we played like we were waiting for them to make the mistakes, instead of creating our own chances & that stunk...

I don't know if that was either conservative or controlling football - whatever it was it sure as hell wasn't enough for me.

We've got to get our game on next week or this whole fukkin year has been for nothing...

Anyways we won YAY!

So…

Wait a minute…

A cup bracket where the most difficult opponent on the way to the title is either Frankfurt or the absolute worst United team in decades (take your pick) is a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Fold this club if these players & manager can't deliver that trophy.

Not sure what you're getting at here seeing how that was the year after we did the double.

Anyone can stir up history; but things that happened a long time ago like Lazio also beating Roma 6-1 in 2021 . and then making a comparison between B/G today and Us today . And the fact that B/G also beating Roma 6-1 in 2021 ….. etc .

I give up : leaving historical events to one side ; I reckon we’ve got our work cut our against B/G next week.

Man U will cruise through against Bilbao .

And it simply shouldn’t be that way . IMO .

Exactly. Don’t know why people keep underestimating a team with that record who are in a semi final having beaten very good teams en route.

We actually played well today and made a very good team look poor. Until last 10 minutes obvs

We need a Frankfurt performance next week.

Because apparently they're barely Champo fodder and their transfer bill isn't even Sonny's salary. In an otherwise woeful season, "should be beating" reeks of entitlement... no one should be underestimated at this stage of the competition.

They're exciting at home but play an open style that can be got at. We need to turn up to win at their place.

It's our biggest game of the season so far - shame I can't be there not feeling well at all & I'll have to take meds during the game which make me feel sick, don't want to chunder on the lap to the peep either side of me or worse on top of the head of the fan in front :D

COYS!!!

Never been to a game in your life 🤡
 
On the way home feeling a little deflated by that Bodo goal - felt like an equaliser! They weren’t good and ‘another’ Tottenham (last years? Conte’s, Poch’s, Arthur Rowe’s??) would have buried them and killed the tie tonight.

Anyway, decent atmosphere tonight…flags were embarrassing but everyone had a sing song - felt like a proper football club for a change. Loved that amid the celebratory singing, Levy still got a loud mention 👏

Thought Porro, Bentancur, Bissouma and Maddison were very good.
