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

[dublinblue12]

Sloppy. Hate to give rags any credit but of anything they look organised for once

 

[creditunionhero]

Shaw is being allowed to block off Haaland at every set piece. Ref needs to stop it.

 

[One Fan Clapping]

Absolute proof we are refereed differently.

We need, as a club, to speak out now.

 

[Leroy Leroy Leroy]

So poor very lucky we didn’t concede

 

[clarkie_ni]

i absolute hate slab head

 

[heslops barnet]

Ref is a fuckin' disgrace!

So has our performance

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

That's as negative as I've ever seen you post! We must be bad today!

We’ll still win!

 

[madloaf]

Turns out beating a league one side and a half decent Newcastle was enough for me to forget the 3 shite performances before....shame on me.

 

[Ian Latham]

Obviously not a great half but its 0-0. They've had 1 good chance that's it, ignore Neville's comments. Get through the first 15 mins and they'll tire and hopefully we can then press home our player quality advantage.

Come on City!

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

And the VAR monitor ref. Both bottled it.

The faceless cunts won't bottle it when a narrow decision goes against us, we all know that.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Khusanov at right back, nico at left and ake and alleyne in the middle. Rico is not and never will be a right back.

You’d still need Cherki or Foden to play on the touchline though. Khusanov isn’t going to be holding any width like Nunes.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Fortunate to be level after that insipid showing.

Need a rocket up their arses.

 

[Fordyboy46]

We’ll be better second half, they’re bang average. 2-0

Not sure about that mate, they'll score if anybody

 

[HelloCity]

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

Don’t think we’d get away with the knee high challenges tbf.

 

[phargrave]

Ref is a fuckin' disgrace!

So are some of our players

 

[BlueMerlin]

Bring O’Reilly on for Ake. More pace. Admittedly that would be a really young backline though. Ake there for experience.

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

Well one thing's crystal clear. Pep's got to shake things up at half-time, otherwise this is only going one way.
By the way, only following this on the OS commentary (Ali Mann). Genuine question. Is Erling doing anything whatsoever? His name is simply absent right through the commentary.

 

[Kippax Street 1880]

Cherki and O'Reilly best come out second half

 

[SheeshKebab]

Why do our players shit out of challenges during big games but other teams seem to live for it? Sort it out Pep because some of these are trying to have a kick about while the red shite are playing an actual derby

 

[samuelyeboah]

Both full backs on a yellow, and absolutely no attempt to run at them. Makes sense.

that's because we have rico lewis and nathan ake at fullback offering zero support (and yet, still somehow always not quite ready when we're facing a counter attack!)
