United Thread - 2021/22

[Bonzo Nododo]

These guys are shite!!
They rely on Ronaldo finishing off after a cross or bobble when the lump it up at the end
Problem is they keep him on doing nothing for 45 mins first
Against a top side you just have to keep the ball and punish them like the dippers did
When they go for it they are wide open

Bbc news headline was 'Man Utd defy critics.'
Certainly a famous result getting an assisted draw against Atalanta but l prefer your first line.

We are also not good against teams that are fast on counters. We will have 10 shots and nothing they will have 1 and they will score

Sounds about right, unfortunately.

Not just for the derby but if we’re in the CL knockout stages, expect this to happen.

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

Knobheads!

 

[Fordyboy46]

The laughable thing here is that they got gifted the easiest champs/Europa league possible and are still making a complete pigs ear of it. Ourselves, Liverpool, and Chelsea would all have qualified by now but they still have work to do.

I'm scared because Ole will now park the bus with 5 Players at the back against us and hoof it to Ronaldo

Hope so

 

[moh]

This just happened to pop up in my Youtube recommended. A trip down memory lane

God, I could watch it on repeat all day

And people seriously expect all these players now as commentators to give City a fair crack

laughable really

It’s a double edged sword for these fuckers.

Can celebrate all they want but scrape through this group and for me they are down to one trophy they might win (there is no way they are winning the CL or PL, just no chance).

So it’s FA and a battle for top 4 or another season of failure. A Europa cup place would have opened up a good chance for a trophy and a CL place.

Enjoy these Ronaldo moments, the guy is a great match winner and if he’s must I’m glad he’s doing it in these games as opposed to the league. But first high quality team over 2 legs and they are screwed.

Having watched the 2nd half tonight, they were 2 pisspoor teams. Bailly was their best defender and he's barely played for a season. Varanne is now out and Maguire is looking far, far worse than I ever thought he could be. If he's in defence, they'll need a back 6.
We need to get ahead; get clear; keep the ball as we know we can. If they are within a goal of us, you know that someone will fuckup and T,ranny will be there to save the day for them. He does fuckall but put the ball in the net! How many times has he bailed them out already?

Was a nailed on handball in real time.

Swept conveniently under the CL carpet.

[dennishasdoneit]

There are highlights on the City site today of this game I was watching on lunch, Rojo takes Yaya out in the box for stonewall pen he never gives aswell in that game! Rojo does go off injured though, the unlikeable ****.

Yep.ollie,sorry Oliver.had just sent small thing off...
He just could not bring himself to give a penalty ,and red card another utd player...which would have left them with 45 mins defending with 9 men...and the South Stand was baying for blood ....i wanted to see them absolutely humiliated...Oliver,just could not let that happen.
I despise Michael Oliver.and his failure to take correct action at the very moment Yaya was pole axed..led me to believe the game was corrupt.it was a disgrace.still very angry about it now.
We were cheated.we should have had 45 mins of playing against 9 men.,at home..with Sergio looking well up for it.
I wanted 10 goals or more.
Is that so wrong..

 

[city2]

They are still a shite team and the luckiest team I have ever known

 

[Kinkys Left Foot]

Wowsers. Celebrating getting a draw against Atalanta.

They were the curtains we wiped our knobs on last time they were in our group, let that sink in.

 

[CJH]

This sums them up perfectly at the moment.........

 

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

That'll translate into 5-3-2, if they do that the swamp will have a new gaping arsehole.

Two old fuckers upfront, the dynamic wingers pushed back and Fred/Tommy/Ratty in midfield & 3 central defenders of slim boy fat, Slabhead & Linderoff......yes please.

5-3-1-1 at best I would suggest.........

 

[Akira]

Ole has got to be the luckiest man in football.

Unqualified, but got the job due to connections with his former club.
Continuously protected by his friends in the media, despite his results, for the majority of his tenure.
Spent more than Mourinho/Van Gaal/Moyes, with no trophies to show for, yet lasted longer than all of them.
Did not plan for Ronaldo this season, board signs Ronaldo anyway. Ronaldo ends up bailing him out of CL group stages.

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Here's the goal from Ronny at the last moment of the game. The body language in those moments says a lot. If City score that goal the guys go mental, I just dont see that spirit with Utd, in fact some of the utd players didnt even seem that bothered.



Maybe they're fucked off with Ronaldo getting the limelight or may be they actually just dont care which would go someway to explain their current dire straits.

 

[Asa's left peg]

Maybe they think he should be doing something special every game, considering he is being paid probably 4x everyone else is.
