Watching dried paint more interesting than that.

A fly just spectacularly landed on it, VAR are taking a look

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

No idea what is going on, where the fuck is Echeverri and Bobb missing again today after getting five minutes last Wednesday

Can you honestly not work out why Pep isn't playing a junior squad member returning from an 8 month injury in an away derby?!? Like you honestly have no idea what is going on there?

I've been a Blue since I was 10, I'm nearly 60 now, I know we are entitled to nothing, we're not united, or liverpool, we earn our position, as it stands, we MAY earn 5th, or possibly 4th, but whatever happens we'll hopefully build and improve again, if not changes will be made.

100% agree

 

[city saint]

i enjoyed two bits of the game.half time and full time the rest was shite

 

[Fordyboy46]

I did say in a post from the other day that all of Kev, Phil, Bernie and Kova would start. Hoped I’d be wrong, but how on god’s earth Kev and Bernie finished that game will be a mystery I’ll take to my grave.

Perhaps Pep is looking for a way out

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

Quite a good report… you write for the MUEN?

I write for a popular fantasy mag



The Utd fanzine…

 

[blue cigar]

Unacceptable.
UN-ACCEPT-ABLE!

Guardiola DO SOMETHING !!!

We were the away team playing the most expensively assembled squad in history, we were poor but they are fucking dire, imagine supporting them!

Red bastard

 

[CambridgeExileBlue]

A good point given the starting XI.

Bernardo the only one playing as if it was a derby and not a preseason friendly.

Got to agree. He was one of the few trying. Not great but at least having a go.

Ha ha very good!

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

Well, it's a long way from April 2012, isn't it?
A little derby. I'm sure United fans were sat there thinking “These are there for the taking”. And I'm sure City fans were thinking exactly the same thing. And both would be right.

Ah well, I'll take point and run. Onwards and er… sideways.

 

[es1]

Neither did I.

But to say (which I was responding to) we're no better than the rags is laughable.

The rags have been Dog shit for years.

We've been shit this season......... there lies the difference.

A fair response

I hate how we've turned up and played a passive game. Why, are we scared of them?

Kdb...legend obviously...did nothing. Bernado his usual self, kova...nothing...everything felt wrong today. Didn't create a thing in open play either

 

[Gaz in Zurich]

It’s on Pep picking a fucking midfield that Ray Charles could see had no pace, no creativity and no mobility.

Who's got pace in our midfield he could bring in?

 

[Luddite_Blue]

If we couldn't win it, important not to lose.

Winning home games and drawing away will secure top 5 (and with Southampton away to come there's some flexibility in that)

 

[Marvin.]

Why have we dropped Khusanov?

I think City should think about playing Echeverri/Bobb as subs as a way of adding some creativity. KDB and Gundogan add very little.

We have a semi-final and possibly an FA Cup Final ahead. Any defensive side is going to just park the bus and hit us on the counter and we need ways of finding a solution. I am struggling to see one.

 

[jaiguruKun]

We should have played wingers from the start and gone for it.

I suppose Pep will justify it by saying we limited their counters by flooding the midfield but they still had the better chances in the first half.

 

[Cityfan]

Mate, you could have gone to the pub, drank piss, got home and fucked the cat……and that would have been more exciting than the game.

Never tried it, how exciting is cat shagging?

 

[failsworthblueboy]

I thought we were excellent in the warm up.

 

[come-on-barney]

Poor game.

The lack of quality at times from players who we know still have more quality was distressing. That is a mental issue.
Too many 50:50 balls lost is perhaps a different issue and not good enough.

Viana was at the game with Txiki and they have know they have a job on to bring some zing back to the squad.

I think Viana might be thinking a little more forward than players.

 

[glauberbertistossedshirt]

To be fair, Like Shaw didn't play, so he's getting hugged on a technicality:)

A hug for not being involved makes sense

 

[Marvin.]

Who's got pace in our midfield he could bring in?

Echeverri but he's very young. Or move O'Reilly forward
