Match Thread | Man Utd vs Man City (08/03/20)

[Cornish_Blue]

Otamendi couldn’t defend against a pub team, it’s defensive suicide here.

 

[mick10]

has dean showed any rag a card yet ?

Nope. Probably won’t or at least 78 mins before. Total bastard.

 

[kippaxchris]

Good to see everybody ganging up on Nico again. Its not he's fault everybody in front of him are passing backwards and losing the ball constantly. He made a brilliant block from martial he's done he's job

 

[wattle]

Could easily argue any of Zinchenko, otta, Phil or raz all deserve to be hooked at half time

 

[super_city_si]

What’s our record with gundo and Rodri?

 

[MCFC1993]

This is shite, we've no space and there's no link between defence, midfield and attack.

Time to start thinking about Silva, Mahrez and Jesus, we need 2 of them here imo.

 

[paulchapo]

Otamendi will walk here.

 

[mancityscot]

4 games against United this year, all but one has been shambles

 

[Theengelbert]

Then can we put them both up for sale

Didn’t wolves offer us £20m for zinc a while ago? I suppose he might get better.. after all he looks like KDB

 

[Don Karleone]

Never a pen

I agree, probably wasn't a yellow though

 

[mat]

As City fans, shouldn't we all be Phil's fanboys (and girls)?

We all support him in a blue shirt yet some regulars on match day threads treat him like the second coming.

In a few years time with Pep developing him he'll be dominating this ground.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

He's doing his best but seems a little lost at the moment.

he needs to come off at HT

 

[Blu1]

We are so stretched it’s only a matter of time they score again!

otamendi
Sterling
Zinchenko
Bernardo
Aguero
all very very poor everyone else just poor

 

[Josh_D]

How can we dominate them for 25 mins then turn to total shit ?

we have no formation on the pitch ?
looks like a free for all. Very poor performances by all city players so far.

We look so disorganised & are desperate for a leader.

It’s more of a mental weakness thing. It feels like they lose all confidence and become fragile when the decisions go against the lads unfairly and when they go a goal behind. Just my opinion.

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

Zinchenko is poor again, has he had a decent game this season ? Totally exposed down the left channel

I wrote that earlier in the game but thought I was being a bit harsh so deleted it. He’s playing more through the middle and I’m not sure they know who should be covering that left channel. Raz poor too on that side, not holding the ball up at all. It’s going to be a good beating to these unless chnages are made.

we can’t hold the ball through the centre, not getting the ball out to Foden, not getting Kun involved at all.....lots to think about for pep.

 

[fergal_oc]

So so poor

 

[dhruvblue]

If our 2 nd half substitutes are defenders then we have big problem.
Zinchenko just like Delphi
had an expiry at LB and it's long gone

 

[ShaunMCFC]

Just thankful we never got Maguire cause he's as useless as anything we've got

 

[Deleted member 77198]

Can we make 11 subs at half time? Fucking atrocious that!

 

[Mr Partridge]

Zinchenko is suffering from Fabian Delph second season syndrome.

It worked for a while but he's been well and truly found out at left back now.

 

[Beanhead]

We need to make 2 substitutes at half time. Drastic measures..

Pep is getting outmanned by Noddy here.
