Dour 1st half .

 

[thanatos]

Those final third passes… stuff of nightmares

 

[Bill the Blue]

Need to play the ball quicker ..

 

[Blue Maverick]

Yep cos City getting on top. Rashford was down for over a minute

And the slapped arse with the head injury

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

Good stuff Walker....a shot!

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Similar to the first half at Stamford Bridge recently.

Came out second half much better.

 

[jamielowndes]

I still think this team misses a winger. Sane or Sterling types who can turn the burners on and sail past defenders to get inside. Grealish and Mahrez are the types to dribble at guys to make them miss, its a different style.

 

[chris85mcfc]

Foden much improved in his preferred position

 

[Wigan_Citizen]

What an absolute shit derby. Looks like a pre-season friendly. No passion and effort from both set of players.

 

[Bluemoonie92]

Dull shite again. What the fuck is going on

 

[madloaf]

It's not boring, coz it's the derby but we're trying our best to make it so. Play through balls!!!! Arrghhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

Defensively doing enough to draw. If we want to win then offensively we need to be less like them and more like us. Keep the faith. Up the blues.

 

[footballmanager]

I think this is a matter of confidence. We can’t blame the line up anymore. My word some of the passes we’ve been doing here is a shambles.

no shit, the issue was never the lineup

 

[pudge]

Luke Shaw at centre half and we've done fuck all against him

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

Sniff, sniff.

I smell a rag.

I thinkbthe reality is that they've put Luke 'Foulkes' Shaw in the way of Haaland. Long way to go round each time.

 

[MichaelBBack]

How many fouls does Malacia get before the yellow comes out then?

 

[Blu1]

Utd have one game plan stop us & long ball. We are helping them sadly.

Lack of energy, movement & poor passing causing all of our own issues.

Strange game so far. Every city player are off it recently which makes no sense either.

Wouldn’t mind seeing Grealish & Alvarez soon

 

[stan bowles]

Hard going against a team playing at home with 8 straight wins but with everyone behind the ball. Is that 135 minutes now without a single shot on target ?

 

[Norbert D]

And the slapped arse with the head injury

Correct

 

[117 M34]

Need to create more
Need to stop giving the ball away - especially Akanji.
WTF was Ederson doing?
