Leeds (H) | Post Match Thread

[paulchapo]

Big fucking week coming up and it could go either way,but if the unthinkable happens and we lose both we could find ourselves in a whole world of pain end of season..

This is it in a nutshell. Go strong, get the game won and rest players. Now we've lost, dent to the confidence and there's no guarantee resting players is going to pay off. Having said that really the players out there should be capable of getting a result against Leeds, especially with ten men for half a game.

If we can move on Sterling and possibly Jesus close season and get two better players in we should do it, time to be ruthless. Looking at everyone's finances in this pandemic I think it's unlikely though.

If we win wednesday and progress the price today will be worth it.....no game in Prem is ever a given, even against 10 men.......so, have a moan, open a beer, support the team and players and stay calm. What a season we are having!

 

[Bill]

Frustrating but at the end of the day irrelevent.

irrelevant ?
do you understand football at all ?

 

[Phil1]

I think people who post we lost today because of Pep being too arrogant might just be the most stupid of all stupid people.

 

[Keeper!]

Zin was ok. It was just John who was good. Fern was decent on the ball. Abysmal on both goals. So he was poor in my opinion.

Zin was quality, that kid never lets us down, quality player and guy.

 

[Luke The Blue]

why is it ridiculous?? That’s why we have a big squad.

The scoreline will tell you why its ridiculous, we got beat off a 10 men Leeds. Imagine if they didn't have 10 it would of been embarrassing mate.

We have a big squad yes doesn't mean you can go and make that many changes and expect them all to play well together. Especially when that team includes, Torres, Ake, Mendy. Fucking Nathan Ake looked heavier than purple ake today.

Let's just hope we go through against Dortmund otherwise we might end up with egg on our faces after that shit show.

 

[raybo]

A top striker & almost all of our issues will go. It’s insane a club of our status still don’t have a top striker.

Bang on, we were useless in front of goal, Gabby seems to drift out to the wings all the time or coming deep, just imagine a fully fit Aguero in that game. Fuck it, hopefully back to winning ways on Wednesday.

 

[grant1977]

Should’ve played the full strength side going into Wednesday to keep up momentum. Weve played a weakened side before an important CL game and guess what....

what has happened to Sterling I will never know

 

[mscenterh750]

Not the time of the season to be rotating the team. We’re at the business end now and our strongest team should be sent out to take care of that business every game.

 

[asgoodasitgets]

The thing is, I should know better because its always the same names.

Go back to the Pep thread in November and you'll see the overlap between people saying Guardiola should be sacked and he's been found out/lost the dressing room are exactly the same people having a massive hissy fit because we lost out second game in 6 months.

Same people who wanted Gundogan sold etc.

And unfortunately they shout the loudest, try and outdo each other with the most extreme comments and then abuse anyone not having a temper tantrum.

Yep , the same posters who find negatives in everything. Their life must be desperate .
The best ones are the “ I knew that was going to happen when I saw the team sheet “ liars . Biggest bunches of arsed on here . They re always telling us which players should fuck off when the best thing they could do is take their own advice .

 

[super_city_si]

Fuck me its a loss but still at least 8 points clear. United still have spurs, Leeds, Liverpool...

Rested for Wednesday. A win on Wednesday and next weekend and this will be forgotten about. Up the blues!

Leicester too, i cant see them winning all their games. Today was frustrating as fuck but it was a free hit.

 

[Toulousain85]

"Pep got that wrong. Too much respect blabla..."
In fact the result doesn't matter, noone gives a shit. The main point is to rest players and conserve energy. In fact I'm disappointed he didn't sub Stones or Cancelo to save their energy. The fact we lost was also good in the sense that it serve as a warning to keep them more focused on the remaining matches.
The reality is we can lose 4 or even 5 of the 6 remaining matches and still be champions.
Do you dare betting on United winning more than half of their 6 matches against Spurs, Villa, Leeds, Leicester, Liverpool and Wolves, knowing that they still have Thursday night to take care of? I know I'm not stupid enough to do that.

 

[Franknorgrovesnephew]

8 if they win both their games. Not saying they’re gonna win it but don’t discount anyone

I'm not but as it stands it's 14 and I don't think about ifs

 

[Keeper!]

Aguerro may have been useful with all those chances in the box

May, he was injured and has been for a year, we still should have enough to beat a 10 men Leeds team at home.

 

[Alcatraz]

Ake was injured he wanted to rotate why better game to give him some match fitness?

Really ? The guy was a disaster..

 

[Roachy]

Shit happens. At least we know exactly who is in our best team and who isnt. Just hope it doesn't disrupt any momentum or confidence going into dortmund.

We knew anyway, they were rested but yes, hope it doesn't upset the applecart.

 

[Phil1]

Yes they can not true.

Sure thing champ. You have a little whinge and worry about utd catching us.

 

[come-on-barney]

He's tinkering with it to win the other trophies.

We haven’t won this one yet !

I’m with you on this

I was praying he didn’t bring Kev on

 

[B\connellblue]

A result like that will happen literally once in a blue moon. We just have to move on... in years gone by us blues took defeat better than we have today - we’ve got a bit soft - you can’t win every week. A few players will have cast doubts in Peps mind today.

This is not the teams of old though. That's only sugarcoating an awful display. The old could be worse excuse just doesn't cut it anymore.
To lose to Leeds and the rags is bad enough to lose to A team with 10 men for over 50 minutes is downright embarrassing.
