Match Thread | Manchester United vs. Manchester City (17/01/26)

[Bald fraud]

Lucky to go in all square

 

[MichaelFrontzeck'sBathroom]

Handsomely rewarded for it though.

True

 

[rodrizontal]

These players can't put in work in a derby and people think there is any chance we win the league? Lol

 

[HamannCheese]

We're a toenail away from conceding. Something has to change at half time.

 

[blue_danube]

Embarrassing performance this. Dog Dirt.

Need some half time changes

 

[citymad]

Going absolutely nowhere! So easy for the rags

 

[Bluestones]

Foden totally lacking confidence and needs to be replaced.

 

[bondsman]

How is Rodri now on a card? Taylor’s performance is nearly as bad as Rico’s

 

[noseve]

Cherki and O’Reilly must come on, maybe even Reijnders too.

You must be a Meatloaf fan...

 

[ALDN_Ko]

Who was talking saying our rebuild is complete once anderson signs. Lol

It would be though, the injuries we’ve got are a joke. We wouldn’t be playing this whole back line and we’d have a more energetic midfield

 

[DavidWhitesUnderpants]

Utter bollocks. United look like City and City look like United.

 

[Blue-Ghana]

We've got a deadly 6' 5" striker in the box. Why don't we put a ball into him occasionally?

We have pace front, yet we play slow, ponderous football. Pep is not playing to the team stregnths, Semanyo is too wide to do any damage. We have no patterns of play; our only hope these days is Doku or Cherki to come up with individual brillance

 

[HelloCity]

Is O’Reilly not fit?

 

[Ric]

Not a great half. We look (understandably) nervy at the back, and haven't really offered anything going forward. Another 45 minutes like that and there's a good chance we lose. Hopefully Pep will find a solution at half-time. Need to get Cherki on, and O'Reilly too.

 

[TueartsCossackSpray]

Im finding it difficult to take many positives from that half other than we’re not losing.
How can we look so nervy against this lot is beyond me. Phil is not at it at all, looks totally subdued.

 

[adelaideblue]

Not Haaland fault, we just look to the wings each time, he’s making the runs but not getting the through balls

 

[BlueRhubarb]

Think the patched up defenders are doing ok but our attacking players are well below par. Foden anonymous. Id be thinking seriously about hooking him for Reindeer to give us more legs or Cherki to at least provide an attacking threat.

 

[Inter Me Nan]

Both full backs on a yellow since minute 16 and we haven’t had a run at them once.

This!!!

 

[Chak19]

Let's not forget the usual VAR robbery.

 

[wahablue]

Your team Pep,and it’s shit,get Foden,Haarland off,the pair won,run won,t tackle,both fullbacks off at HT.
