Match Thread | Man Utd vs. Man City (06/04/25)

[Craig]

Fucking horrendous. Why does he either play both wingers or Dad’s army? Maybe try one winger. Also, how Grealish can’t get into this side is mental

 

[Fordyboy46]

What minute do Gundo and Bernardo come on?

 

[stan bowles]

I'd be amazed if Newcastle and Villa don't finish above us by season's end. Chelsea are as bad as us.

 

[mosssideblue]

Pep is clueless

Take a bow for the most stupid post so far

 

[PragueBlue]

Not the best that.

Tidy enough on the ball until we get in their final 3rd and then we just seem to have no ideas. I know KdB, Gundogan and Bernardo haven't got the legs they used to have but some of their passing has been very poor, especially KdB who had a few opportunities to play a dangerous ball through and failed on each occasion.

Nunes and O'Reilly seem to be playing very conservatively on the whole. If we're going to play without wide players, we need them to get into more dangerous areas. Foden has been ok, as has Marmoush and defensively we haven't been too bad. Kovacic ok except for his suicidal attempt at dribbling out of our half, which could have cost us.

Overall, there just isn't much threat in our play. Changes need to be made but we could probably do with replacing 4 or 5 on that first half performance.

Anyway, perhaps we'll see at least a couple of subs which may spark our game into life. This is a game that we really should win.

Haven’t been replaced yet have they? Pathetic morons like you. Change the record.

Fuck off prick, his big money midfield signing in january is on the bench today, Grealish who's been better than all of our attacking midfielders in the limited time he's had is on the bench, Savinho who's had more assists than any other City player is on the bench, Doku is on the bench, but he prefers Gundo, Silva, Kova and a washed up Kev, oh and two other defensive signings are on the bench too, so again fuck off with your shit.

 

[malg]

They're basically letting us have possession because we don't do anything with it, then hoping to hit us on the break when we get tackled or play a bad pass.

Yup. Those who shout loudest about possession stats don't understand that some teams are happy to let you have the ball, especially if it is this current version of City.

 

[Worksop Blue]

I think I’d rather have a prostrate check up than watch this 2nd half

 

[phargrave]

Shame it’s only 5 subs, I’d change the fucking lot!

 

[sh249]

Pretty much as shit as expected.

 

[Keeper!]

He’s been gone for a long time an absolute shadow of his former self I hate watching him now it’s so painful

Should have taken the cash last summer and paid him off, he was done then, loyalty has come back and hit us hard

 

[city2]

Won’t be watching motd at this rate

 

[BlueMoonz1977]

Bit of a non-event 1st half then blues i take it blues

 

[Rodri’s ACL]

Nothing happening in the last 3rd. If only we had an on form #10 who can move and pass the ball, or 2 of the most energetic wingers itl.

 

[super_city_si]

They're basically letting us have possession because we don't do anything with it, then hoping to hit us on the break when we get tackled or play a bad pass.

Rinse and repeat for 75% of our games this season. Sit deep and wait for us to turn it over then break. Over and over and over….

 

[Blu1]

Pep to show them where to attack in the 2nd half and make adjustments accordingly…
First half was a control learning mission.
2nd we put the plan into action.

If only

Anger issues. Blocked

 

[Micky Blue]

Please for the love of god don’t send Kovacic out for the second half.

 

[Blue_eyes]

Two old and out of shape heavyweights slugging it out but are too slow to land a meaningful blow.

Im sorry, but thats how it looks.

Probably the most underwhelming derby build up and atmosphere in my 50odd years supporting City.

Just get top four and buy some decent players please.

 

[Bewar3them00n]

KDB needs runners to stretch the game, Bernardo/ Kova / Foden / Gundo, all could be easily replaced at HT, why so many midfielders? We’ve even got one at RB FFS!
Take Foden or Kova off put Nico O’Reilly in Midfield if need be & put Doku on the wing.
This is so dire I’m contemplating doing the washing up

I’ve done the washing up, I can’t bring myself to listen to Paul Scholes do his Manc Eyore analysis at half time.
