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

[SWPISHOME]

Our performance hinged on Dean giving them a free kick 3 seconds after the alleged foul. Our heads dropped because they knew they'd been f*cked over. It shouldn't happen. we have to be stronger.

Looks like Mike Vaseldean got some back door action before KO from Taggart.

 

[Beanhead]

they were both poor before their incidents in sterlings case his goals were covering it up.

Bernado maybe but Sterling was in the form of his life until the Liverpool game... he was being mooted for Player of the year.

 

[Bez]

The Shits wanted it more in the 1st half...need to turn things around...Come on City!

 

[Tevez City]

Lucky to be only 1-0 down.

Sterling as always below average against United

Gundogan & Rodri combination continue to fail


Pep has to fix it

 

[01cravend]

Why is Zinchenko playing in midfield? Its leaving us open everytime Wan Bissaka bullies Sterling off the ball. We are much better when our full backs are making the pitch bigger and allowing our forwards to move with a bit of freedom. Instead our wingers are standing out wide whilst 3 cbs mark Aguero out of the game. Calling our set-up terrible is being kind

 

[br88]

City are obviously not playing well but Tyler's commentary is a disgrace.

 

[super_city_si]

This game is of little importance to pep. His team selection shows it and The players are playing like it.

 

[Grassland Blue]

Foden has been anonymous.

Agreed, put him in the middle, Sterling r/w and introduce Jesus for Sergio in about 15min.

 

[SidJames]

You can pretty much guarantee any game that we lose these days will be self inflicted, calamitous defending, or a Goal keeper howler.

 

[simon23]

Silva for Foden
Bernardo out wide
Mendy for Zinchenko
Mahrez or Jesus for sterling

Jesus for sterling - he has some fight in him at least...mahrez bottles games like this.

 

[flook]

I've got a stream with analysers Owen & Giggs in the studio, seems fair.

i've just turned the sound off

 

[mat]

? why does that matter more than this?

Indeed.

Beating the scum is always top priority.

 

[Easy]

We’ve been shit overall hard to pick out the worst performer, too much competition

 

[1961_vintage]

3 at the back second half?

That would be 2 more than the 1st half.

 

[Ban-jani]

Get Jesus on.

Seriously, if Otamendi is still here in August then something has seriously gone wrong.

Zinchenko is never a full back either, he cannot tackle.

 

[Dax777]

Bernardo was woeful in midfield against Wednesday and has continued it today. Move Foden there and get Mahrez on.

Sterling doing his usually against United but he's not been the worst.

Mike Dean giving them the constant dives when they get in our final third. Don't think calling one out and booking them makes up for it.

Actually, he didn't give them a penalty they deserved. Let's stop pretending this is on Dean. Yes it was a poor decision in the freekick. But that's not why we are being outshot 7-1

 

[SWP's back]

Foden out of his depth

He’s not been given the ball you idiot.

 

[Blueknows]

We’ve had 75% of the possession???? You’re either not watching the game or wumming, either way you need to get your head tested

Weve had 1 attempt 1 on target compared to their 7 with 3 on target...they've been the better side unfortunately

 

[blueabdi]

Why mendy is not playing?
Zincho is having bad game
Sterling is isolated by wasaka

 

[come-on-barney]

Yes, I don’t understand that thinking at all. This could potentially be the third time we have lost to the Rags this year. That isn’t happening against Arsenal.

This is A much more important result for all City fans.

It’s not difficult, to us yes, to Pep no. No way he loses to Arteta and that is why the side will be stronger Wednesday.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

I'm amazed by the possession stats, didn't feel like we had any real sustained periods of possession to get into our rhythm.

Agreed. I heard the commentators say that we'd had 70% possession and I just thought "When?"
