In control?Was enjoying todays game we were in control till the gift! If you think we can go to away games and just win easily that ain’t happening you have to keep the ball control the game or you will be beat! If you push to hard against a team who are determined to not have a go you in the end give away umpteen chances on the break!
spot on!Fred is a crash test dummy the rest are zombies.
No. It will still be offside for every other team in the league. Like a Rashford offside goal earlier in the season was given a larger tolerance. Never heard of before or since.Allowing the 'offside' goal to stand today has set a precedent. A tactical game changer; in that an offside player can continue to follow the through ball, shepherd it without touching it, a team mate then follows up to stroke the ball into the net or even pass to another team mate to maintain possession, supposedly legitimately.
The offside rule has now had a big red bus driven through and over it.
he needs to manage with courageHaaland was making runs today our lads chose not to pass. the Way we’re playing at the minute is just to keep the ball we’re terrified of losing it and facing a counter. I remember the all or nothing documentary where at half time pep tells the lads we have to play football with courage. We need to get back to that
Our style of play has got us quite a few.wins in recent years.In control?
Didn't Rashford miss a 1 on 1 and also have a shot cleared off the line?
We seem to struggle to understand that passing a ball around boring the life out of every person watching the game won't be enough to get us a win.

I've just watched that too, frame by frame Rashford's a yard offside.I’ve just looked at the highlight. In the second goal, the ball went forwards to Rashford not backwards. Why was that not looked at? Does offside not count at OT? Therefore, quite possibly two goals, not one, that may not have stood?
Top and tail is we aren't creating enough chances to win games.In control?

Bent. Se City fans (wankers) will disagree lolApologies, just seen this:

As the poster I've "borrowed" it off says - Rashford stops and it's Eddie's ball full stop
Didn’t think we were only referring to Utd games but I can think of a few where they were difference makers in them games. VK header 2012, Yaya semi final, Sane comes on 0-0 at swamp scores and assists we win 2-0. Not that rose tinted mate.Do you want me to post all of their records against United?
One of the most infuriating things about 10+ years of success is we are hitting the nostalgia era where players from the past were always better.
What you're saying is the stark truth, pal.Sat back after the goal instead of going in for the kill. One shot on target all game. Fell apart after a disgraceful decision went against us. Rodri great the rest below par….. I said it weeks ago we are fighting for top 4 now not the title. No doubt the happy clappers with abuse me.
You're right.So are we in agreement finally ,that football in the uk at the highest level is corrupt ? cos i can live with the loss if today is a turning point with the fans finally seeing how football is manipulated in this country, and perhaps something happening about it. My fear is that nothing will happen though .
Or keeping clean sheetsTop and tail is we aren't creating enough chances to win games.
You also don't win many games if you rarely hit the target. In 4 of the last 5 games we have barely worked the keeper. United created the better chances today.Those the only chances they had to the gift! Come on you not going to go to any away game and give zero chances you reduce the chances when you have 70%+ possession! We play quicker hit the long ball cross the ball you lose it and the break is on so that half often enough the opposition will get loads of clear cut on the break chances!
We had a great half dozen years but I feel we are in a transition with the way we playing let’s wait to see if pep sorts it hey? Don’t you think he deserves that?
Yes, I'll have that. Defence need to sharpen up as well.Or keeping clean sheets
It was like watching a film,They are average you will get no argument from me about that. They also got a joke decision, and the ref was clearly on their side. I just don't agree with you that we dominated them. How can you dominate a team and have just one effort on target in the best part of 100 mins. If domination is keeping possession miles from the opposition goal and creating next to fuck all then I'd agree.
last season after 18 games GD+35 points 44We are objectively worse than last season and i'll give you a second to figure out the only significant change between last season and this one.
