United (H) Post Match Thread

Unfortunately predictable and one of the reasons we won't win the CL.
Don't seem to be able to change the flow of a game when it goes against us.

Like watching a Lyon repeat from last season.

You've hit the nail on the head. Every single City game we all can tell what way it's going to go by the first 5-10 minutes and it stays like that for the 90 minutes.
First time we've gone behind in a game in the league since Tottenham and yet again still never looked like turning it around.
 
I suppose the important thing is that this is now a wake-up call, rather than a sign of what we'll do in a CL quarterfinal which is what it felt like.

I love Sterling, his positional play and intelligence is the best in the league, but fuck me it gets boring having to defend him when he misses sitters in big games.

Like everyone else, Foden and Bernie with Gundogan in a more attacking role feels like our best team. I'd prefer Kev in the false 9 where he can't give the ball away in dangerous positions.

I’ll never turn on Pep, even after yet another Derby performance like this one but today is a perfect example of why we will never ever win the Champions league or even get to a final with him as manager. Personally I don’t care about that as he whole shebang is bent anyway but over the last few years there have been worryingly predictable performances in so many big derby games and knockout CL ties. There’s a pattern:

1) Talk up the opposition. Include phrases such as “We are not yet on their level, we are not the same size as them. We do not have the history of them. They are a European giant”
2) Disregard the team sheet and tactics that have got us into such a great position and prove how amazing you are by changing a winning formula .
3) Never, ever, under any circumstances play Foden for the full 90 minutes in a game where every football fan in the country knows he would be busting a gut to do well.
4) ALways play Raheem in games where history tells you he will shit his pants and underperform.
5) Talk our performances down publicly Thus risking undermining players confidence.
6) Repeat next time.

Watch out for point one should we get past Gladbach and draw a Bayern,Barca, Madrid. I will pay off the mortgage of the entire forum if he doesn’t use one of those phrases in the run up to the game.

Perfectly put
 
Really poor performance, well shite infact.

Wrong team selection, sick of making that shower of shite look like world beaters every time we play them at Etihad.

foden looked livelier in the 15 mins he got than the rest of the midfield together.
KDB doesn’t look right, he’s upset the balance of the team since coming back.
We look a better team without our best player.

Southampton is now huge.

Pep Out

Weren't we better when KdB was out?

Bernardo was sorely missed.

Anthony Taylor, you bald fucking bent rag ****.

To be fair our best form came with KDB in the team before his injury. We continued our great form without him. He’s not been the same player since the injury. Hopefully he gets back to 100% soon.
 
Big wake up call this hopefully.

Went behind in the league for the first time since November and we couldn’t find our way back into it. We miss Sergio’s finishing touch in tight games like these when we go behind. Jesus never looked like scoring and cost us the game.

Not good enough if we want to win the Champions League.

Thank fuck that we are 11 points clear and that these rag cunts will keep dropping points because they’re shit. I still can’t comprehend how we used to beat these fuckers all the time under Mancini and Pellegrini, yet Pep shits the bed against them all the time with a much better team.
 
Well that was a pile of muck.
So miffed that we failed to turn up today and smash them dirty horrible cnuts.

Didn't help ourselves one bit, but to be honest feared the worst before a ball had been kicked today, knowing who was reffing the game none other than Anthony Taylor the world's most famous Altrincham fan.

All we can do is dust ourselves down, forget about today, were still 11 points clear with a superior goal difference and go again against Southampton on Wednesday.

Also F**k Ushited can't stand the bastrads.

Its was an unlucky start. If Jesus didn't give away that penalty in the first 30 seconds it would have been a different game

But my worry is KDB still looks very rusty. Bernardo would have done a better job

Gundogan got himself in some good positions but also looks rusty in the final 3rd!

Anyways, This shouldn't deter us, we continue to play and 6 more wins is all we need. We are still 11 points ahead. Win the next one and we are back at 14 points

Last couple of games I’ve noticed Gundogan has either looked well off the pace or knackered, he was running on empty the last 20 minutes today.
 
Least derby like derby I’ve watched. Actually it isn’t. Was crap from City just like the last one. More passion from Micah than any of those players.
United played that game like a derby. We didn’t
 
People you all need to relax. We are allowed one bad day at the office! Sadly it was against Man United but so be it.

We will regroup and get back on the winning wagon. If Jesus didn't give away that penalty it could have been a totally different game.

I know it hurts to lose the Derby but the mistake happened and rocked the team who were trying too hard after the penalty to score. The only player who shouldn't have started was KDB cause he is not ready

We go again and we will win the league

Obviously not a good result, and I think we lost due to United's counter working perfectly. But we did have good periods in that game if we are to take something out of it.

Foden should have started. Make what you will about Bernie starting (I think he should have), but the argument for Foden is even stronger considering how well he did against Bissaka in his last game, AND he was rested.

Well, carry on I guess, I've lately tried to develop the mentality of not letting things like this ruin my day/week, because then United has won even more than just that game.

Foden or Bernardo ahead of KDB for me. Both are sharper around the box and much more mobile.

We need to go again. I'm not too bothered. We played well imo, and will go again and win the league
