Frustrating Night No Points
United 0-1 Besiktas
UEFA Champions League Group B Match 5; attendance 74,242
Another one of those experimental team selection nights that didn't produce a good result. Lots of possession and too many touches. Only in the last five minutes did we see any chance of a United goal. Then that was frustrated by Besiktas goalkeeper Rustu. He'd not had a busy night. Not when you had a nine man defence snapping up all the bad passes in front of you.
Came away from the match very disappointed. A good performance from Obertan, who actually did something with the ball when he had it. But otherwise this was not a team that played as a team.
Best part of the night was the song "Thursday Night, Channel Five". It has some more words "thursday night, channel five". A droll reference to Liverpool qualifying for the Europa League. Got accused of having a Roy Cropper moment "shouldn't that be ITV4 except for the Everton away games on ESPN" when I pointed out the Tv arrangements to the Biffa herself. At this point I thought of that fictional character Roy from Coronation Street watching bats and walking around with a shopping bag.
Oh well let's hope the next experimental line-up of young players pays better results in the Carling Cup next Tuesday.
Admission £36, no other purchases. Weather : dry, cold 9 degrees.
