United (H) Post Match Thread

[malg]

A team that beat the premier record of 18 games winning streak are not bottlers or poor mentality.

 

[Healdplace]

Just frustrated that there is now a chance we win the league when not playing. If we beat Tottenham United play twice before we play again. Lose either of these or draw both and we win before we play again.

It always takes something away from a title if you are not playing when you win it.

Nice one Kyle, true enough but you may have tweeted yourself into trouble.

That's not Kyle Walker the player.

 

[Rammy Blue]

No he wouldn't have. So I have no idea why he thinks it was acceptable today

Will you say that though if we twat the scousers 5-0 on Tues?

Should have been 6 up at HT playing superb football missed chances again cost us.

Certainly at least 4 nil at half time
bad enough missing the chances to add to 2 nailed on pens

 

[Chippy_boy]

I didnt think it was a pen. I will get my tin hat. Some other decisions were shocking, including the rugby tackle on Sterling, but honestly wouldnt have given that. Well I would but....

Well it was a straight red card, and I don't think you can give a red card in the penalty area without it being a penalty, can you?

Feel like a boxer who had pissed the first 10 rounds then got battered for the 11th and 12th and won on points
Still won the fight but feel like a loser at the moment and glad the final bell rang


So low I’m actually shitting it about 2 more wins

We didn’t collapse nobody picked up Pogba’s run twice and a set piece. When you only have one out and defensive midfielder it’s hard to pick up runners especially Pogba whose been shite but for do’s he was good second half.

No we did collapse, Klop shown the other night go for the throat early doors get a commanding lead, then do a job second half, we did the first part, but pep and his one way to play fucked us 2nd half

 

[Ohrodneyrodney]

Why didn’t you think it was a penalty?

I thought he went for the ball and made contact with it and would have wanted any City defender to do the same, and Ive been gutted and blown a gasket had it been given against us.

It probably would have been of course but thats another story

 

[blueincy]

Penalty and red card, not to give the penalty was shocking, the red not so much

Was going to post the incident but my paste button has been blocked..
So I bid you all good night..

 

[citytill1die84]

Brilliant.

Not the Kyle Walker but good point.

We will be the complete side when we learn when to close big games out , and get the occasional scruffy result , Pep wants to play the beautiful game all the time which is admirable but the really great teams had better game management than we have at the moment , there has got to be a plan B when we need to get a "result" and just take the draw or a slender victory. We will end up with two trophies and will be asking ourselves "what if" , probably sounds arrogant and greedy , but we should have won the lot this season with this football team.

I did like the link up play between Jesus and aguero. Showing signs of an understanding. Maybe 3-5-2against dippers?

 

[Ohrodneyrodney]

Well it was a straight red card, and I don't think you can give a red card in the penalty area without it being a penalty, can you?

But it wasnt a red card.

 

[asaluttar]

Have to say we have had some really bad luck in the last two games. Every break of the ball went the wrong way. Every 50/50 decision went against us. Another marginally offside goal for United today again not given. We get 2-2 today and could have even won it 3-2 with one of the two penalties.

Wednesday we were poor and yet with the right breaks that we got none of it could have been 2-2.

Today we were easily the better team but ran out of steam and again with breaks still should have won.

Our luck has to turn soon as we have had a ton of things go wrong in 3 days.

It's not luck
Remember last year exit versus Monaco when the ref gave Agüero a yellow for diving when it was a clear pen (while awarding a much softer pen to Monaco)

Young's Red card probably the 10th such "missed" by refs this season

Or just compare the foul on Sterling by Young not given, versus the foul awarded the other way round, both in the first few minutes

So you should, he took him out at the knee. Frankly, I despair sometimes.

 

[Roachy]

Tiny margins make all the difference, the last two games we have been denied two stone wall penalties, against the dippers they scored a goal that was off side, we were denied a goal hat was proved to be onside.

We have had zero luck in the last 2 games, hopefully it turns in our favour on Tuesday.

Decisions aside, we've bottled it mate. We didn't lose the last 2 games due to poor decisions and you know it. Wed was appalling and that 2nd half today was awful as well. We was playing for the title, at home against the scum and were 2 up and all over them. The team comes out in the 2nd half in a complete daydream and do not react to the little bit of pressure they apply. It was poor and can't be dressed up any other way. Overall it's been a great season but history beckoned and the team fluffed their lines.

Yes. Their second goal today, we lost the ball and we’re te wrong side of their midfield. We were chasing a third goal when we shoukd have taken the sting out of the game after they just scored. Keep players behind the ball for s little while. We’ve been guilty of that in a few games.

 

[hampshireblue]

8 games to go 13 ahead. We'd all have accepted this back in August. It hurts right now but let's move on now and give it our all

 

[rnblade]

The dippers will have seen this comedy of errors and probably can’t wait to hand us our arses again.
