United (H) | PL | Post Match Thread

[eyalluvitt]

Yep. Our squad is too small for a lower mid half team who’ll play 40 odd games per season. Nevermind for a team who is competing at the top end of 7 or 8 different competitions. Whoever is responsible for that strategy needs to take a long hard look at themselves…

Pickaxe nose will walk off into the sunset with a golden handshake after two years of horrific ineptitude

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

This team are not spineless cowards.

Really? They've given a fucking good impression of being spineless the last few games. Not one player today showed any heart, any desire, any commitment. Not one.

 

[meltonblue]

It’s an odd state of affairs when Neville and Keane are talking a lot more rationally about us than a fair few on here!

 

[manimanc]

Is it me or does any one else think Haaland will be gone he looks so miserable lately like he knows something is happening maybe it’s me but?

Do you mean like a 200 point deduction, relegation into the east Manchester league and Pep leaving kind of something happening?

 

[Grassland Blue]

Can anyone post the theme from M*A*S*H.
Seems appropriate on several levels.

To be fair, Walker did try to get Hojlund sent off.

 

[lee one pen]

He looks miserable because the only time you ever see him is when he's losing a game of football. These are professional footballers and they don't experience headloss the same way fans do. Im sure he's fine.

He needs to pull his finger out and up his work rate. Today was shocking.

 

[Tolmie scores]

Sadly I am not sure who will sign with the legal case hanging over us

we haven't got a top notch scouting system,,taxi's gone and got a taxi...awful position were in for what you rightly said is needed..

 

[Norbert D]

Not long back from what should have been a moral boosting win, instead thanks to utter dross like Nunes we grabbed defeat from the jaws of victory. Whilst I can accept it’s somone else’s turn to win things, I struggle to accept the complete shambles we have become, almost overnight. The buck stops with Pep, he stands or falls by results. If he can’t turn this around and quick then he should go. He’s single handedly changed the way everyone plays football, but we can’t afford to sleepwalk into mediocrity.

 

[bluemoon32]

Wow what an interview.

Pep saying it’s his fault and there is nothing he can do.

He might, I only say might, walk.

He's a coward if he walks now & i really don't think he's a coward

 

[DelToro]

A shout out for Phil Neal maybe?

Double header with Steve Coppell and a shout out to John Benson?

No idea mate just know it doesn’t seem right

 

[stan bowles]

Spectacular collapse against the worst United team I can remember since, well, O'Farrell's lot. They were dire and somehow we contrived to gift them 3 points that even they could scarcely believe they'd get based on the first 85 minutes.
Nunes, Doku and Ederson with the errors in the goals but Haaland and De Bruyne stank the place out just as much.
At least the City accounts are in good health and profits are high.

 

[BeerIsTheBest]

Can’t see Pep putting up with the complacent rubbish his team are putting out, they dominate the game and then commit suicide by being complacent every fucking time

Agree with this but in my work a oft used saying was ‘if you can’t change the people, change the people.’ We simply haven’t got 11 competent, motivated, ballsy and energetic personnel to turn this round. It’s buy or bust in January. Three fricken shots against a very average side. Unacceptable!

 

[CTID1988]

Wow what an interview.

Pep saying it’s his fault and there is nothing he can do.

He might, I only say might, walk.

He's just trying to take some of the pressure off the players I think

 

[journolud]

Only just got back from the match, can anyone summarise this thread for me? Are we disappointed?

 

[maxwellblue]

Never heard of him

Google is your friend

 

[Tricky_Trev]

At least Spurs are battering Southampton for us. Maintains a healthy buffer.

 

[Cobwebcat]

He didn’t say that there was nothing he could do, thought his interview was fine.

He said he tried everything and failed. He also said it had gone on too long now, Read between the lines.

 

[Petethemancinleeds]

Coming out saw "Welcome to Manchester Sir Paul Mccartney," should be match fit for Everton
