United (H) Post Match Thread

Funny but I think 99% of fans of every club in this country know that Man United's most deadly tactic is the soft penalty. Fact.

The main reason I think so many of us are pissed off with pep is that we have been here before. last season with Lyon and at the start of this campaign. He found a solution and once individual players came back he broke up the rhythm. He choose individual talent above the team today IMO. The run was coming to an end and we have started to struggle again. Play the false 9, start Bernie and Foden drop Kev and put Gundo back into the 8. Madness pep absolute madness to change a winning formula injuries permitting. Humble pie needed and get the strongest team out each week. We could see a collapse this season.

I don't know whether you have any experience of coaching a top level team. If you have, you'll know who is and who isn't training well. May you should offer Pep your expertise. Would you have the bottle to tell Pep you know where you think he's getting it wrong ?

I think his injury in 15/16 stole quite a lot of pace from him. The Wolfsburg and first season at City KDB could breeze past people and lead a counter attack, and he's just not that player these days.

I think Kev is a brilliant player but Bernardo is much better at winning the ball back and he can also spray a pass when required. Kev was fantastic as a number 10 but we don't play that system any more. What we need at the moment is more energy and that means using Bernardo and Foden. Kev has to adapt his game. I think he can play on the right of a front three or even as a defensive pivot. We need relentless energy in centre midfield.

This was a reminder to some fools who think that the best sides are made on paper. If you don't turn up on the day, or stuff goes against you you can lose.

Lyon was down to Pep trying to cover for a weakened defence. Today was not down to Pep. It's just the type of game where events can take it beyond you

I don’t agree re Pep. Collectively we are stronger with Bernardo and Foden. They carry the water, they run and close space. Rodders and Gundo have looked exceptional this season with runners surrounding them in the midfield and covering on the counter. We all knew that once Rodri got caught today the scum would be in on goal and it happened time and time again.

Pep should of played walker, foden and Bernie to nullify uniteds only threat. They pounced on mistake after mistake in midfield and should of scored more. He left it far too long to change the inevitable. It’s on him today, not the players.

Hope we get them in the FA Cup (if we both get through) to give us a chance to right this wrong.

No, but I’d be interested to hear his thinking behind the right side of our team today. Also why he went with Jesus instead of Bernardo.

I am certain Pep knows more than anyone where he got it wrong but it doesn't alter the fact that today was a tactical defeat. United were comfortable in the second half and they didn't have to play that well. Pep's still a genius but he is not infallible.

Even early on it was clear that we needed the energy of Bernardo and Foden. Hard to adjust to the idea that sometimes we are just better when De Bruyne isn't on the pitch at the moment.

Onwards and upwards, lads!

Early on when we were passing it around at the back with limited options I just knew it was going to be one of those days. Looked lethargic and predictable

Sure why not. Play your best team and formation that enabled us to go unbeaten since Spurs. Team over individual talent especially when said talent is badly off form. Gundo/Rodri would have got pelters today but once used in a formation that utilises their strengths they have both played fantastic.

He is a genius but when he fcuks up, he fcuks up big

Well sometimes people have to be reminded that the person making the decision knows a fuck load more than the people bitching about the decision on social media afterwards.

Well unless you hadn’t noticed we got beat 2-0 and played wank, and every player that we knew would play shite today funnily enough did play shite. So today Pep fucked up, pure and simple. Just like he did against Lyon. The guy isn’t infallible and is prone to the odd brain fart.

We as supporters can only judge on what we witness , from the outside looking in Pep got it wrong , he is not infallable and remember Pep might be a genius and the answer to all our prayers ,but he is just passing through this club for a few years , we are here for the duration, so i wouldnt have any issue having ten minutes with Pep and explaining what a Derby game means to me.
But i would probably leave the tactics to him :)
