United (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

Well that was a pile of steaming shite, the kind that gets in your nostrils and you can taste it

Im not sure what else Pep can do with the players he has......who on the bench besides Nico Gonzales makes that much difference....You could argue Khusonov makes us better at the back but what about going forward? Sav and Doku dont set the world alight when they play - they certainly dont score many

Who else besides Rodri and Haaland change that game today?

A bit of effort might of made a difference. They were better than us, made the best chances and won all the 50/50 balls. Pathetic effort once again this season and again impossible to pick out a MOM as all as bad as the others.
 
That was an absolutely shocking performance. The team selection was horrendous and god knows why he started with that midfield. Thought he’d learned that Dads Army just doesn’t work.

Whatever the reason (the charges, Txiki going, Pep’s contract, Peps divorce) or a combination of all of that, we have huge issues….

Was obvious 5 months ago, we have lost the plot over the last 18 months/2years. unfortunately the happy clappers shout ed everyone down who tried to highlight the plainly obvious issues

Ah 5th in the league, into an fa cup semi, while missing our best striker, a balon d'or winner, most of our defence for most of the season and without a left or right back, first world problems indeed, i wonder if southampton who got relegated today would like our huge issues, im no happy clapper and clearly some things need addressing but my god the overreaction is hilarious, i wonder if the rags who are struggling to finish top ten after spending a billion would like our huge issues.

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 disagree re Grealish being a bad signing, in a good, possession based attacking team, someone like him can keep it going, buying fouls and keeping the momentum rather than giving it away, particularly against the top sides. Sadly, we are now miles off that and because of that he's lost some of his usefulness.

Look at Peps body language. When we are on it or "are there " as he calls it then he perks up. But when that's not the case he retreats into himself. In those moments I get the feeling he would like to be somewhere else. I could be wrong.

I'll take that, don't know what some of our fans expected. We aren't any better than united.

We are far better than the rags!

In what universe are they our equals?

We've come off the back of a four consecutive Premier League title. They've been limping through the division for fucking years.

The league is gone for us, top 5 is a safety net (for better or for worse) and the FA Cup is a major priority for Pep.

It's annoying that the game was shite and we made the filth look half competent in patches but we're a far superior team to that shower of shites.
