United (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

Back to back clean sheets is another positive.
Yeah but this is how Nottingham Forest get more clean sheets than anyone else with the difference being they actually can be dangerous on the counter, and I don't want us to play like this every week, and I sure as hell don't want to see anything like this game ever again.
 
Remember when those who criticised the starting line up because it hasn't worked all fucking season were called 'wet fannies'.

Interesting....
We've tried every combination of 11 players this year and been shit in those games, too. What's your point?
 
Peps setting us up for Ederson coming on upfront in the last game to get our Champs league place....
 
Such a lack of any quality

Again and again....KDB and Gundo are fnished...its nostalgia for anyone (including Pep) that thinks otherwise - they were complete passengers throughout the game.

Subs made zero difference - doku had a poor game but at least tried but Grealish just throws himself to the ground (get rid)....one of the worst purchases since Pep took over

Defense played ok but that was about it

Think we created one single chance in side their box throughout the whole game (Marmoush from a pass by OReilly) from open play?

If we want to get top 5 we have to stop playing KDB and Gundo as well as possibly others....at this point we dont deserve to qualify for CL and if we fail its a very long road back to the top as the best players wont come here and we will be stuck with bang average players like Nunes (who for what its worth did ok today)

Other issue is does anyone on the bench besides Nico Gonzales make our team that much better? - I think the problem is even worse than we think - Rodri only solves some problems

We have gone from the likes of Sterling, Sane to the likes of Doku and Savihno and we have also got to replace the best midfielder that the prem has ever seen and Gundo as well....
 
I can't even get angry anymore. I'm used to seeing terrible performances.
 
Awful. Turgid stuff. We set up for a draw & never tried to force the game either. Fielding 4 OAPs together in central midfield doesn't hint at any pace or tenacity to the performance & that's what we got.

Cannot for the life of me understand Gonzalez omission, whilst Savinho is slightly the better of 2 poor options out wide. Doku never sends a cross
over, ever and gives possession away for fun. Nearly 2 seasons in and you can see he's nowhere near the level we used to have out wide - oh for the quality of Sane, Sterling or Mahrez on the wings.

Pragmatic team selection, safety first approach against what is the worst United team in decades. That tells you where our squad is atm. Dire.
 
Long time since I've seen a game that bad, never mind a derby.

Zero quality from both teams and says everything United were better than us.

Not angry, just indifferent, as Pep isn't doing us any favours this season, in terms of team selection.

Josko and Dias looked decent together and Eddie did what he had to, Marmoush with some tidy work.

The rest are old and tired, so don't know what Phil's excuse is?
 
Two years ago we were playing seriously high-calibre football, not just beating teams like Madrid, Bayern, Arsenal, but fucking brutalizing them.
From that to this. Fuck me.
Crap set up and shape. Can‘t play out from the back. Can‘t move the ball through the middle of the pitch. No creativity. No cohesion. No plan.
Shit team selections. Shit subs.
