Still seething about that foul. Fred should have been sent off.

Watching it on a Portuguese stream, great not to hear Tyler, commentator almost wet himself when Bernardo scored that screamer.

Keep going for the throat, none of this sit back and see out the 2nd half bollocks.
Great first half boys

Mendy and Sterling having a mare the rest playing well

Mendy seems panicked when he gets the ball, fingers crossed he doesn’t give away any howlers again, he’s probably at the last chance saloon.
Razz is having a few problems deciding what to do with it. Most of the times a simple pass to allow someone else to shoot is easiest but he’s insisting on trying to dribble it into the net through the middle of their defence. I’m sure he’ll snap out of it soon.

You Can tell in the 1st 15 here it ain't Guna end well this...as shit as they are we are going to get done down Mendy's side

Sorry fella, but this post isn't ageing well ;)

Those last 30 mins were outstanding. Utter domination.
Only disappointment is that it should be 5 or 6.

Still seething about that foul. Fred should have been sent off.

I’d rather him stay on.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Fuck me Martin maudlin suicidal fuckin Tyler.

Not one not of excitement.

The old decrepit rag loving arsehead.

Tbf he found out today that Spike Island tickets are sold out.

Its wholly understandable.

You can critique the player respectfully, as I and others have.

Calling him a “fucking clown” because he is having a bad match is going to far and you should well know that.

Oh get you, consider me told, yet people calling players holograms and shit and they hope they don't start another game is acceptable

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

In fairness to those I normally don’t trust, apart from a few loose passes Walker has been brilliant and Mendy has recovered from his early nap in the box.
Centre of the park beginning to purr.
Fern at the back and Rodri working really well.
Even Bravo doing alright.

 

[Platt Lane veteran]

Just how many Bernardo’s are on the pitch tonight? The guy is bloody everywhere!

 

[Metalartin]

Pep's clearly looking for a excuse to leave by fucking things up...

 

[Postman Pep]

Seems odd to say It, but I’m disappointed it’s not 5... it should be. Raheem has been awful that half.

Steady on don't want to be accused of disrespecting inferior opponents like last years semi

 

[CTID1977]

imagine rag faces when aguero steps on the pitch

 

[Saddleworth2]

That performance was for everyone in the pre-match thread.

Imagine if we hadn't picked such a dreadful team?!

Not everyone mate. Some of us called it right!

 

[SebastianBlue]

Presumably the VAR is going to be subbed off for the second half?

Judging by the farcical decision to call the foul against Rodri at the end (even though that was arguably a red card challenge from Fred), I think VAR was subbed off before the halftime whistle.

 

[bluealf]

I think most of us are just commenting on how bad he has been this half, which is fair, as he has barely looked a professional footballer, much less his usual prolific self.

But as I said earlier, I await his second half hat trick. ;-)

It is a little more than that though isn't it, some of the comments are hyper bowl to the max and it always feels like they are just lurking waiting to jump all over him, I didn't say he is playing well, he isn't but he is a tryer and it just isn't nice to fucking read, especially as we have the press to deliver all the hatred we can take.

 

[sir baconface]

united need to aspire to improve in the second half.

They need to get to the byline.

Love when Mahrez went though Tyler was as silent as the night. Wouldn't be surprised of a Sky intern had to restrain him from leaping put of the press box.
