United (H) Post Match Thread

"Ok, boys, you know how this lot play; so, whatever you do, do not give away an early goal."
Typical City!

What would you rather be remembered for at the end of a season, winning the league or stopping an unbeaten run?
These red mardarses know it's their cup final against us now, oh how the mighty have fallen after years of belittling us and saying nobody knows our name.
Can't stop laughing at the hypocrisy of them.

As much as i was pissed off about yesterday. The vulnerabilities of past are still there. Pep imo picked the wrong team from the off.

Not to worry - take note and start again we need 5-6 more wins, both the others will drop points. For me Kev has been way off since he got back in, always looking for a killer pass that puts the team in danger of a counter and shows Rodri up for his lack of pace.

Not sure what the crack is with Sergio. We go again

 

[SidJames]

is it safe to go outside again now ?

Meaning has Pep finished telling the World what fantastic Club,with fantastic fans,and lots of history the Rags are yet ?

Maybe i am just showing my age..... i dont know.

I have never liked this shit. It has never sat right with me.

At the beginning of his management, i seriously struggled to take to him partly because of this.

I got the feeling he felt like he was doing us a big favor just by being here.

Then we started winning Titles etc, and all is forgiven.

Then yesterday it reared its ugly Head again.

Can you imagine how Barcelona fans would have reacted, had he said the same sort of shit about Madrid just after El Classico at Nou Camp after such a shit show of a performance ?

Lets smash the Saints and go on and clinch the Title.

Next Derby i am going away for the weekend for real.

No way i am putting myself through those shit shows.

Said on the Match thread the wife thinks he was a Boyhood Rag fan,losing so many derbies by not turnning up,putting in non performances.And the verbal fellating of the Rags after every Derby makes you wonder.

Lets lock him in a wardrobe next time Derby comes around and bring out somone who gets it like Bobby Manc.

The Kev one is a mystery as Pep has always picked form players and unfortunately Kev is currently not in form

Love Kev and he will regain his form but at the moment he sits it out and Gundogan takes the lead role.

I said this yesterday, the Rags win will only be remembered as a triva question in years to come, nothing more and nothing less.

Careful that makes them relevant

It was almost like a replica start to the match where Bernardo gave away a penalty.
Against United at the moment they are not coming out to attack from the start.
Hold your cool against them and don't do anything silly.
A series of errors with players trying to make up for their mistakes instead of letting players in better positions deal with them
The throw in by Cancelo is something you'd tell schoolboys off for doing.

“They are not coming out to attack from the start” did you miss the penalty they got inside the first minute or are you talking about the first 10 seconds?

 

[OB1]

Pretty much. We fucked up having Jesus trying to defend, the inevitable early penalty ruined the game.

Not just that game but any we lose seems to be mostly down to missing really good chances. I think signing Haaland would address that to a great extent. Keep the defence as it is and with a lethal striker we’d be almost invincible next season.

An outstanding goal scorer is a must buy.

I'm talking about United.
They hoofed the ball out for a throw in.
Instead of us taking the easy option we threw the ball in right across the middle of the pitch instead of taking an easier option throw in.
United are a team that like to counter attack.
We had 6 players near Martial.
If we took it slow and careful against United in the first few minutes we wouldn't have given away that penalty.

 

[hertsblue]

I laughed when i heard the Dippers had appointed a throw in coach but isn't that now 2 goals recently we have conceded from giving the ball away cheaply from our own throw in?

Yep. Stupid bouncing throw ins into a marked man in the midfield, 30 yards from our goal

 

[MarsLlama]

The Centurions got spanked by Liverpool twice and embarrassed by United at home all in the space of I think eight days. If we win the league and both domestic cups we're hardly gonna remember this come Summer. It'll sting for a while but a good win in midweek will go a long way to fixing that.

Oh dear. He deals with it by correctly acknowledging that the rags are a good side. It’s true - they’re second in the league for that reason. We beat them when it really mattered & knocked them out of the cup. Pep has taken us to a different level - Mancini was good but never has any longevity.

They kept pressing high after the penalty as well, they kept picking up Rodri high up the pitch so it made it difficult for him to receive the ball and get his head up. Then slowly retreated backwards as the first half wore on.

I hope they are back in today and pouring over that shit show. They managed to exposed our achilles heal of quick counters, hopefully it’s better to have that happen to a team 11 points behind us in the league as a wake up rather than an important champions league knock out in the next few weeks.

 

[Shaelumstash]

I’m as disappointed as the next blue about today. But those thinking the title race is back on is having a laugh. City are perfect opponents for United. They play a low block very well and have the pace and quality to hurt on the break. The mistake Pep made was not going for the same set up as Old Trafford for the 0-0. You need to draw them out.

Unshited’s problem is all the other teams that won’t attack them. They’ll struggle to beat West Ham next week. Five wins out of ten and it’s ours. Nobody will remember this when the medals are being handed out and hopefully it’ll be a shot across the bows for Pep and the squad that there’s plenty of work on to progress in the Champions League.

They pressed us higher up the pitch than any team has this season in the first 20 minutes yesterday.

Even Gary Neville said it was the highest line he'd ever seen a Manchester United team play away from home.

Mancini helped build the foundations of what this club now is, and we all should never forget that.

And one last point, Mancini knew what a game against the Rags meant to the fans, I am not sure Pep gets that, however superior he is as a manager.

Still very predictable, and with the players the Rags have the only way to play against us.

We would destroy them 99 times out of 100 if they came out and played an open attacking game, our players are far better footballers.

 

[Love_Each_Day]

Probably the most avoidable result we've had under Pup, a carbon copy of the home defeat to them last season. Jesus coughs up the ball far too easily facing his goal, they transition quickly forward for an early penalty. Our most plodding centre midfield selection couldn't cope vs their pace babies when the game got stretched. De Bruyne gifting it back to them and not helping anything defensively. Sterling left in the same situation with Wan-Bissaka with no variation on what's gone before. Only real difference was Zinchenko being an improvement on Angelino and we never got the consolation goal.

Can't believe we've conceded from identical throw ins twice in the space of three games, Aguero and Jesus should really be controlling it and moving it on but against a team you know are only looking to counter why even risk it. I remember we took horrendous throws for both sides of the field in space of 3 minutes when we drew with them early in the season and were lucky to get away with it, really needs to be looked at. And even then Cancelo made the same throw to Jesus a couple more times, just seems like not enough thought went in to the whole thing.

I know, that’s why I left that out because it makes it worse. We should be flexible enough to be able to drop a few balls over the top. I stand corrected. I still think United prefer to play teams where they are expected to have less of the ball. When they have to be creative and break teams down....
