For me Bernardo is the ‘Elephant in the room’. He’s been bang average for a while now and looks unhappy. He says all the right things, but he is just as guilty as anybody.

He should have gone as he's wanted to leave for ages. You could never accuse him of downing tools but his heart can't be in it as much as if he wanted to bere and it's shown in his performances

What over reactionary twaddle. The guy is running himself into the ground every game. He's the only fit senior player that isn't carrying an injury.

Didn't want to comment anything yesterday when high on emotions but this is how I see it personally.

We played alright first half, happy for them to have the ball, and they utilised their wingbacks well to create the space.

That right back pocketed Doku all game.

Gundogan I thought was much better, although made a few sloppy passes.

I also thought Nunes had a very decent game for us up until his headloss. Made some good tackles, inverted well, kept the ball well.

Gvardiol also played will up until their goal too.

Then we just imploded, again.

Haaland looks like he's dropped muscle/weight and looks a shell of the player he was.

Bernardo unfortunately is no longer that player we can rely on. Kdb lack of game time is showing.

Walker not the player he was.

Foden not the player he was.

We've had our fair share of injuries but that can't be an excuse for yesterday. We look like our legs have gone.

Think we're at an exciting point in our clubs history with a rebuild of our next generation on the horizon.

We know the team can do it, we know the management can do it.

They've dropped the ball this last few months, poor squad planning in summer.

We will be back. Maybe not this season, or next. But we will be back!

I swear in the last decade United have been awarded more penalties at the Etihad than us

4 in 4 at the Etihad when Taylor is the ref

 

[East Level 2]

About time it was mentioned 1 NIL UP at HOME in Manchester Derby with 2 fkin minutes to go...in any season since 1894 that result was fkin abysmal...you don't lose derbies when in that position -

You do when players (and some fans) see derbies as just another game.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

For a so say Viking giant he plays like a pussy and scores goals from unlikely positions but general play , closing down , holding the ball up and general finishing he is very average if not poor

Spends too much time on his heels too meaning defenders have that split second start on him.

Wouldn't say he's hiding but he's not front and centre a lot of the time.

 

[Sebi]

By the way, that rat-faced **** Neville squealing with delight when they scored their 2nd is a fucking disgrace.

The father of Bruno?

I haven’t kept a tally, but even the most hardcore City fan couldn’t deny the one yesterday was a stonewaller. Daft mistake and then an even more daft “tackle”.

Doesn't help when you've got braindead players smashing into the back of players like yesterday.

Maybe we should stop taking them down stupidly in the penalty area. To be honest Dias tackle on Hojlund could have also been given, If that was down the other end I'd be screaming for a penalty.

I can think of a few they've got at our place and the majority of them are thick as shit fouls.

No service.

He may be big but he’s rarely been physical.

I think a genuine question has to be asked now, Do we go back to the False 9?

With so many injuries in defensive areas and holding midfield area we are a very soft touch for opposition now, They can smell blood.

Probably do no harm to play a False 9 with an extra body in midfield out of possession, Try and make us somewhat tougher to break down.

The downside of that is your taking out your goalscorer and we've literally nobody else to score goals, We've sold an awful lot of goals whether it's Sterling, Mahrez or Alvarez and we haven't replaced them with players that can give us goals from wide areas.

Haaland does need to do more in games, Lack of service for him is incredibly frustrating but the other side of it is he's lost duels yesterday to Slabhead when he really should be bullying him.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

You are of course right but the few times the ball went upto him he was on the back foot making slabhead look like Der Kaiser.

I'm not a Nunez hater, I think there's a decent player in there but boy is he lacking a football brain. It makes you realise just how lucky we were to have David Silva. We still haven't got over losing him. Nobody anywhere near his level. I thought Foden may fill his boots but his decline has been one of the worst I've ever seen.

Yeah they VAR’d that one and fortunately it wasn’t given but it was a clumsy challenge.

He’s been ill for 3 months ffs !!

Yes we have. Won a Treble and 4 league titles in a row.
