Match Thread [FT] Manchester United 2 - 1 Rangers (Dessers 88)

[der Berliner 3,912]

I feared the worst, but Thursday night games have their own dynamic. Despite the superior quality and chances, we almost got a 1-1 draw. No matter the absentees and lack of depth in the squad. With the former, however, you have to ask yourself (and with little due respect) what has been brought in over the last few years. Injuries on the field are one thing, but it is amazing how people with the physique of Sterling or Danilo can last two or three games and then some kind of muscle problem arises. Cortes and Matondo are just such examples too.

 

It is also annoying that we have to throw Curtis and Rice into such games practically unprepared, because we sent the same players out on the field week after week and month after month, whether they produce or not. Or replace them with "veterans" on a 1-1 basis. While it was a luxury in Walter's ways, now, where results have become truly essential, we still get the same dross every week.

Anyone who remembers the old Celtic keeper Dick Beattie will have seen similarities in Butland,s punch last night

German Highlights

 

Going by the video alone, Butland made some fine stops and was rather unlucky with that own-goal. That said, I see him as a sellable asset, since Kelly is a good keeper indeed.

Yep though Haffey was my first thought.

Lukic did the same for Leeds against us in 1992

Dick used to play  with a  jockeys cap on his head supposed to be a bit of a  Rangers man he'd drop the odd ball now and again got a move to England before he got jailed in the bribes scandal

Not too disappointed with last nights performance, think Man U were the better side, but still.. we could've nicked it there at the end.

 

Crazy game, going from the ridiculous Butland og, to the sublime Dessers finish .
