United (a) post-match thread

It's a derby mate it fucking hurts. We may have won the league cup but that showing and a fair few others this season proves we are miles off Liverpool. If we don't sort it quickly the best of the rest, including the rags, will catch us up.

We could have helped keep them twats out of the top 4, especially after the Chelsea win earlier. We have failed twice this season against them and we’re shite in both of them. The only consolation being that we won the cup and they didn’t but it still feels shit
 
Because he’s a knob

No mate, you're a knob.

The "knob" you refer to came out a few weeks ago, stuck his chest out, and declared to the assembled media that he was staying at city unless they sack him. This, at a time when the entire UK sports media had spent days telling us he was walking out of his contract.

He's far from blameless, he clearly doesn't give a shit about Derbies, unless they're of the Real v Barca variety, but when the chips were down this year he stood up and allowed himself to be counted.

The truth is, he has been let down by the club's transfer business.

As was Pellers.
As was Mancini.

My fear is, he has put all his eggs in the CL basket, when we have a squad that is 7 or 8 players shy of being good enough to win it.
 
He's said what he needs to so he doesn't hang his players out.

Don't get yourself confused with actual thoughts Vs a professional response.

He can say we didn't play well and the players didn't perform well.
 
Otamendi, Zinchenko, Gundogan, Rodri, Mendy, Cancello aren't good enough for a club that has ambitions to be the country's/Europes best.

Sterling in this form is also a liability at the moment too.
That’s why they should be backups. Well beside Sterling and Rodri at least.
 
Is he the best shot stopper in the PL, no. But no way are there 10 better shot stopping keepers in the PL.

there are maybe 8 or 12, I don't have exact shotostopometer device. But he's average keeper. My kid is 10 year old keeper and I'd bollock him for most of the goals Ederson concedes.
 
6 changes from the starting XI against Madrid and a shocker from one of the other 5 players. No wonder we weren't great. We have a good squad but...

In the grand scheme of things the loss isn't important. If Pep and the players were asked to choose to lose a game from SW and MU, they'd have gone with MU because FA Cup is more important than the league now.

Cancelo and Zinch were poor, Raz was worse than them, Kun's legs are not for big games away from home and on current form he might start from the bench against Madrid. Foden wasn't bad but that's it. People should calm a bit and understand Pep plays certain players for a reason. Both Rodri and Gundy were excellent against Madrid, so to explain our performance with the fact that both played isn't serious.

Question for me is who plays at CB against Madrid. Both Otamendi and Dinho aren't in great form.

Ederson started the season well but has been inconsistent. This kind of performance was coming. Pray he is himself in the CL. Made a good save in Madrid.
