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

Whenever I think "we need composure" - the answer is usually Cherki.
Ake is playing the high line fairly well, but whenever it breaks he is too slow - think we need Ait Nouri.

 

[heslops barnet]

The only positive I can take from that is that we can't be as bad again 2nd half, can we?

You’ve seen our second half performances in the first 10 minutes?

 

[HypnoticBlue]

Some of their challenges knock me sick, only one team trying to play football.
Make some changes at 1/2 time Pep, get O’Reilly on for some reason xtra muscle, and Cherki for some skill.

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

The gap would keep growing between us and Arsenal after today. We have really tough fixtures coming up.

I’m not even thinking about Arsenal currently. More concerned with that 45 minutes of utter dog turd we’ve just served up.

What has happened to Foden? He’s so off the pace.

 

[Cobra]

Lewis will probably have another good game against Salford/Swindon and trick people into thinking he’s good enough

 

[BluestBlue]

The worst half of I’ve seen us play.

Ake is playing like Akanji was last season. He’s past it he needs to go. Sub OR or Ait Nouri on
We have young centre backs but our fullbacks are exacerbating the issue.
Rico never plays so he looks lost.

There is no midfield idk why Pep keeps playing Bernardo and Foden together. They’re not in good form and don’t help the CDM.

The frontline is just Doku because that’s only the place the ball goes to.

"It lacked the intensity and force to overturn the decision." So they are saying if the red was given then it wouldn't be overturned.

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

Why's this not given? If that was further up the field the game would stop. End of.View attachment 180733
The ref is looking straight at it !!!

Beast with two fuckin backs…

 

[Bettys Bell]

Second half will be better

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Mike Dean says 100% red card.

Disgusting decision.

 

[East Level 2]

With respect to them they're playing the derby we're playing a fixture

And 3,000 of us in here are getting pissed off with our attitude.

 

[Bluemoonie92]

So evey fucker thinks it's a red even keane hahahaha. Fuck off you corrupt cunts

 

[beakykippax]

cherki coming on

 

[Kippax Street 1880]

So so blatant that red bent bastards 2 or 3 other nasty tackles from them aswell

 

[madloaf]

Everyone says it's a red. hahahhaha they all laugh.

 

[Stockport mackem]

Come on murder these cunts 2nd half...been sucked into the occasion so far

And how the fuck is Dalot still on the pitch

 

[Bluemanc100]

even tim howard says its a red

I'm sure he said "it's a fucking cnut bollocks red"

 

[pudge]

Absolutely disgraceful from the ref and VAR team, hope Pep goes in on them again at FT regardless of the score

 

[Citizen of Legoland]

Roy Keane says the challenge was a red card and he knows about dirty tackles.
