CITY win Rags lose

 

[blue for life]

10 seconds after he opened gob I turned it off ,thick **** thinks tactics are little mint sweets

Well he may have opened his gob but I couldn’t understand a word he said!

Points wise yeah. But they were the better side v a very good Villa today. They’re definitely miles better than recent years.

They have also put in some awful performances recently. They were ok tonight but don’t be surprised if they’re utter shite against Newcastle on Boxing Day.

 

[youngbob]

They are on an upward trend imo. Don't think they win a title under Amorim but they can finish top 4-6 this season and go deep in the cups again from next season. Think once Amorim has another summer under his belt they could be regular top 4-6 finishers once more, which isn't exactly what they want but it's on the way to their ideal destination.

Since those comments Ratcliffe made about giving Amorim three years no matter how much people might want him sacked, in all competitions they've P11 W5 D4 L2. In that time they've gone away to Liverpool (W), Spurs (D), Palace (W), and Villa (L). Things could be improved but Amorim has definitely stopped the rot and steadied the ship for the time being.

There is something in that system. Casemiro and Ugarte are nowhere near mobile enough to do the job Amorim wants, which is why they're still a work in progress, and Mount can't really be trusted to stay fit for more than 2-3 months at a time. But they are building a decent squad with decent options from the bench. No threat to us yet, but it's improving.

I thought he wouldn't have a voice left today after all his cheerleading last night for the dippers.
He obviously been offered some hefty bonuses this season to big the rags and dippers up at every opportunity.
Just think Neville 13 long years ago since you last finished above lickle old City.
Oh i feel your pain

"Being the best team" is all well and good until you remeber that Aston Villa has underlying stats that should put them firmly lower table, are performing really poor against basically all opposition they come up against but have been very lucky result wise.
Putting them under pressure puts United basically on the same level as West Ham.

If I were a United fan I'd worry a lot more about them dropping points at home to Everton who gets undone by every good team they meet, West Ham who can't buy a win against anyone and most recently Bournemouth who has stopped winning games at all, and seems to have gone a bit stale under Iraola. Yet they came to Old Trafford scored 4 in an even game and probably were the team closest to taking all 3 points. A week later they draw at home against canon fodder Burnley.

United is as midtable thrash as you can possibly be

To be fair, they’ve progressed from being shite everywhere and not giving a shit to being able to control the middle third of the pitch.

They’re just totally shit in both boxes, which means their level of control looks impressive, but they still end up losing.

Wrong thread my friend - this should be in "Save Our Ruben Interim."
Otherwise, very funny!

I don't think they will.

I think the top 5 as is will be what gets it in the end.

United can only hope for Liverpool and Chelsea to fall off big time, but both teams will do enough in the end.

5th place go into the CL play off, so that would burst that bubble, if they did mange to qualify for the champions league I wouldn't be that concerned. They have only won one game in the competition in the last 5 years, and finished last in a group containing Galatassary and Copenhagen the last time they managed to qualify!

Only Sky, talkSport and Andy Burnham think they are important and will rise again with a new £3billion stadium, that shirt sales alone will pay for. Everyone else either ignores them, or calls them proper nob heads!

 

[Ysabel 123]

How do they constantly end up paying massive fees for absolutely shite Goalkeepers?

They could have had either Martinez for free, or Donnarumma for £25m, who have both been awarded the Fifa Goalkeeper of the year award recently, after winning the world cup and Treble between them. But they signed an uncapped 21 year old kid from Belgium for £19m! Why?

They spent more on Onanha and Lemmens who 5 medals between then (all belong to Onana), than we did on Ederson and Donarumma who have both each won the treble and have 32 major trophies between them!

 

[Ysabel 123]

Phil made the grade here because he progressed through the clubs ranks, and was nurtured properly and encouraged by City ..... if we'd shipped him off on loan to Barnet, Sheffield Wednesday, Fortuna Dusseldorf and Austria Vienna we might never have heard of him again!

Harry Kane (twice) and David Beckham, both got sent out on loan, the loan system isn't a punishment, it helps develop players who are not ready for top flight football, whilst improving lower league clubs. It has been used in English Football by every single club and manager! Why do you think its so bad, It's a second chance for players to find their feet and stay in the game.

I’m negative as anyone and always worst case scenario when it comes to thinking the rags will be back…

But my god, if that’s an upward trend long May it continue. They’re absolutely fucking shit and will be lucky to finish top half!

 

[Always Ali]

Rags in the pub were giddy as fuck, great performance, we're better than Villa, blah blah fucking blah. Then with 10 to go, shit recruitment, shit tactics. They'll never admit it, but deep down they know that this period of mediocrity shows no sign of ending, and occasional Derby wins and beating their MASSIVE fake rivals, Liverpool, can't mask the reality. Lovely stuff.
MCFC OK.

 

[Manc Born & Bred]

That still only two games/week.

Playing Thursday, Sunday and Wednesday looks like three in a week to me as does Wednesday, Saturday, Tuesday.

But it’s not every week.

 

[dickie davies]

But it’s not every week.

It's three games in any seven day rolling period
Also know as "three games a week"
