Atalanta was without Gosen, Toloi, Pessina and lost Demiral due to injury at half time. They did actually quite well considering some of their most important players were absent. It's like we play without De Vrij, Skriniar, Barella and Perisic.

And indeed Zapata and Malinovsky didn't start the match. Let's see how well United can play in Bergamo in two weeks, without that second half Old Trafford crowd.

Bare in mind Atalanta played with half of their team. Literally the starting trio in the defense wasn't there (Toloi, Djimsiti, Demiral). Freaking De Roon played as RCB. Gosens was out too, Pessina and Hateboer.
They at least had Demiral in the first half who was by far their best player and then got injured.

Bad luck for them i'd say. They had few chances at 1-2 to score but failed and it was inevitable that they will concede two at the end.

Champions league starting to get more and more embarrassing for Serie A teams every year. It kind of makes watching the league a little less exciting.
This is why I won't even bother watching us in Serie A if (or when) we don't progress from CL groups. I'm sick of the same shit 4 years in a row and a whole decade of European irrelevance. And we are not winning Scudetto playing like this.

Why people taking shots at Atalanta losing 3-2 against United and forget that we lost to Real Madrid at home.

Because they squandered a 2-0 lead, otherwise I wouldn’t say anything.

Haha people saying that atalanta are a shame. It's the first time in champions league that united have been down 2-0 at home, and let's not forget atalanta had most of the first team missing and had to play 2nd half with out not one first choice CB. it should be all eyes on man utd having to make a comeback from 2-0 in the first place.

Werner and Kaku out "for a while"

I actually took Kaku out of my dream team before the games this mid-week, great decision, hope he is okay though.

I just saw the replay. Pissed. He never really got injured like that for us, and he certainly never faked grabbing his leg, so that's got to be a real injury. Hope he's ok.
This was really unfortunate for Lukaku. He was coming from a 6 game goalless streak and Tuchel had said Lukaku has been overplayed this season and he needs some rest. Everyone was expecting Tuchel to bench Lukaku. He chose to start Lukaku again as he thought this was the perfect chance for Lukaku to return to scoring sheet and gain some confidence but it totally backfired. With both Werner and Lukaku out Tuchel only option is playing Havertz as a false 9. If it works, it will be hard for Lukaku to return to the starting lineup. And Tuchel saying, prior to Lukaku's injury, that Chelsea are still interested in Haaland despite getting Lukaku makes you wonder if Lukaku still has the faith of the coach. We have seen in the past Lukaku needs the coach faith in him to perform and he doesn't take getting benched well. It's still early days but so far the situation is far from ideal for Lukaku at Chelsea.

I think if he leaves, it's going to be another black & white team, which he could have been kissing if a descendant of a Polish migrant to South America wanted to live in Manchester.

He'd be completely done with PL and the gobbi would assume he's good enough for Serie A because of his inflated stats with us, plus they always love it when they get players that were associated with us to rub it in our face.

to me, only the Atalanta - United game looks interesting today

if Atalanta wins, this group is still total madness
