United (H) - Post Match Thread

[Harvster]

It’s not a great surprise that our opponents struggle to cope with our movement. Was scratching my head yesterday when Kev popped up at left centre half, then two minutes later Bernie did the same trick! Second half was a truly fantastic team performance

Just watching the match back now on sky. Three observations:

1. Sancho not celebrating his goal. Respect? Or worried that by equalising he’d just succeeded in poking the bear?

First and foremost I loved that not only we beat them yesterday but completely embarrassed them to the point everyone looks like they’ve given up.

Regarding Sancho I always respect his career path, he got offered one of the biggest contracts we would have ever given anyone his age but he decided to leave for more playing time. That’s fair enough to me. He went to a team that means that decision was really why he left and showed that he is a good player. Now ok he’s gone to United but he could of easily gone to Chelsea or Liverpool if they had met Dortmund’s demands, he had got himself to that point in his career. Do I dislike him for it? No, it’s football. I do genuinely think he didn’t celebrate because he has respect for City.

Great result and all the team played well.

Sancho scored a great goal but did not do much besides. He would have to massively up his work rate if he played for Pep. I guess in his heart he has some regrets about leaving.

Our defence seemed to stand off Sancho to let him get his shot away.

It was his first appearance at our ground in a senior game wasn't it, and he was saying "Look at how good I am, this is what you could have had". It wasn't respect, he's a cocky twat.

Sancho’s goal was excellent. Don’t agree with the booing, I don’t consider him a former City player. He’s potentially a top player. He’s just gone to the wrong club.

2. Lingard and Rashford simply didn’t want to come on. Their body langauage on the touch line was shocking.

3. We love to see it.

He did celebrate ! Cocky little prick he is.

Should boo the fuck out of every single one of them.

This. Doesn’t matter where they’ve come from, if they’re wearing that shirt I’m booing them.

I've just rewatched the game again and what i noticed is our standards have slipped against them this season.

It's taken us 2 games to get to a 6-1 scoreline; )

this....surely can't be real?View attachment 38018

yea, pretty sure United did not have a single shot in the second half.

 

[jacko74]

They might have done better if he'd been sent off, which I think he should have been.

I've been making that general point about Maguire for some time now... the favouritism and leniency that united receive really is doing them no favours as far as Maguire is concerned.

If he played for any other side he'd be picking up constant yellows and reds and having the resultant bans that come with them, so the club would have no choice but to find a replacement, but thanks to all the leniency he receives we get to witness the awesomeness that is Harry Maguire playing every single week.

 

[jacko74]

Love the fact that number 4 smacked De Gae in the face on the way in.

Can't we credit donut thief with goal and Mahrez with the assist?

Home support was awesome! Love seeing the POSNAN again. Hope it's back to stay.

Great place that mate, went to school there in the 70’s ( not McDonald’s before you lot start) :-)

Always remember in my teenage years the late bus only went as far as John Kennedy Road. Had to walk back to Glossop from there after a night out in town.

Don't forget, his move away did mean he got to play with the legendary 17 year old Jude Bellingham.

 

[lionheart]

Cannot believe the low player ratings from the national media. The Express gave Walker 5 Stones 6 Laporte 6 Cancelo 6 Rodri 6 and even Foden only 7. Maybe their reporter only watched the first half?

I enjoyed reading that, and I loved the line, "Mismatch of the day".

Thanks for posting.

Yep, excellent read.

 

[Eccles Blue]

I actually think I saw you before the game, if it was a blue hoodie....too shy to say hello though!

Oh , you should have said hello. I love to meet fellow Bluemooners. :-) I promise I don't bite. Ask @Ric and @Tim of the Oak :-)

I wish I had!
