United (H) Post Match Thread

The result wasnt a surprise at all once the line up was named. The line up was similar to the start of the season and our performance was simialr as well
KDB is a problem at the moment. As fantastic as he has been Im starting to wonder if he is getting near the end of his time with us...the way Pep has been playing which has been getting the best out of the team does not suit him in the centre...Maybe he could be moved wider? However you cannot take away fromthe fact that he has not been near his best this season (while remaining a decent player)

Either Pep adapts the way he sets up or KDB may no longer be the main man....our best performances this season have all come without him in the team

Bernardo and Foden should have both started.

Mahrez was typical Mahrez
Sterling was awful
Jesus - still the questions remain whether he has a place in a team chasing to be the very best.....can that team afford a striker who shy's away from shooting and when he does it proves to be the weakest part of his game?

No idea why anyone would want to draw United only for Pep to play Sterling against Wan Bissaka. Again. Mahrez starting. Again. Slow and ponderous play. Again.

News flash. We beat them in our last two cup meetings under Pep..

That doesn't stack up mate. We've got Southampton on Wednesday not the CL final against Bayern. Today was the biggest game in a while and absolutely zero reason not to play our strongest team and must-win tactics.

Apart from anything else a 17 point lead on the rags would have just killed the league and meant we could focus entirely on the other comps. Now we cannot.

I don't want to play them at all. The pain is always deeper losing to them and at the moment they have got into Pep's head and bloody Ollie has him in his pocket.
 
Even on 70 minutes and 2-0 down we had the ball around the half way line and there was not a single option except sideways or backwards. It had been that way for long periods of the game. Not a single option of an over the top ball in behind. No movement ,no threat. Everything had to go through their 2 banks of 4 . Awful.
