I assume since there's nothing to play for, Fergie will be fielding a team of foetuses against Galatasaray tomorrow?

I can see Sturridge handing in a transfer request at this rate, and rightly so.

So no surprise there then: http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/nov/19/manchester-united-galatasaray

I'm a bit ambivalent about this kind of thing tbh. Its nice for us that key players can be rested, but I think overall it does the fans a disservice and I feel a bit sorry for Braga who, despite what Fergie says, are going to lose out when United play the kids against Gala and Cluj.

Where was Sturridge tonight then?

I missed the first half, was Hazard upfront and Azpilicueta in midfield as pointless as it sounds on paper?

Hamstring injury.

I had a bad feeling tonight, it proved to be rather optimistic in the end.

The defence was problematic, moving the midfield up to try and make up for poor attacking made it worse.

So Shakhtar have to win for us to stand a chance of going through, not overly hopeful. Would rather get caught up in some scandal that gets us thrown out the competition than play in the Thursday night cup :p

Both Shakhtar and Juventus are better sides than us imo, so fair enough, Shakhtar could easily beat Juventus if they wanted to though.

Shows how overhyped premier league is with us and City getting shown up, shame we can't all get groups like Utd every year :p

Sigh.

Juve are good, but man we're playing like utter shit at the moment, trying to play long balls to guys who are 5'8 isn't a good strategy.

Some quality aspects though, Ramirez being one, he's a godsend in that position really.

As soon as United play a decent team they're going to get stomped out of Europe, defending this season for them has not been a strong point.

A lot of our midfield has quality it is just so many other areas aren't living up to the massive wages they are paid.

Defence looks disorganised and hapless, Torres looks worse than Shevchenko at his worst. If we converted half the chances we scored we'd be fine.
