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

[platty7]

Fooking var should be sacked for being totally inept. Or bent he's a bent twat

 

[deano ou812]

Being stitched up here but we haven’t helped ourselves either,if we approach second half like the first we won’t be so lucky ..

 

[Dax777]

If we’re going to play a midfielder at right back, he has to actually play right back. Rico drifting so far forward and inside that he’s gumming up the works on the right side and opening up the wing for Dorgu, Shaw and Fernandes.

We are really playing a back 3: Ake, Max, and Khus. Rico is only a RB in formation. He really is playing inside right midfield.

Unfortunately this means the ball gets to Senenyo late and he us half as effective. We need to move things quicker out of the nack

 

[blue_danube]

Ake looks like he's running in quicksand. He's lost all his speed.

He was never quick

His intelligence and ability to read the situation always made up for his lack of pace

He's even slower now.

Would rather have kept Akanji than Ake

 

[middle-englandblue]

O Reilly and Cherki on

 

[minimalistic]

Thank god. Cherki and o’Riley.

 

[M Gaudino]

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

United players are a disgrace. absolutely phoning it in for Amorim but now giving it full effort because of ‘pushun’

that said we look totally lost. Lewis Alleyne Ake Khusanov dont want to be on the ball.

 

[BlueNomad]

Disgraceful non-red card.
Lewis is killing Foden’s space on the edge of the box, while we are getting mullered in midfield.
Zero danger in front of goal.

PGMOL says that “not excessive force” even though it was a knee high, studs up challenge that hyperextended Doku’s knee!!





What does he have to do? Fuck his knee??

 

[Gaz76]

Cherki and o Reilly on, foden and Ake off please pep

Thanks pep, will call round for tapas later

 

[normskih]

Good subs

 

[paulchapo]

Any reason why Ake started over NOR ?

Id say to add experience to a rookie defence but it hasn't worked.

 

[RobinHood]

Come on, Cherki, "Kill 'em".

 

[Bald fraud]

We’re going to get caught out with ake at fullback will pep change it?

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

any other team its a red

Roles reversed in this game and Taylor would have given a red, let's not kid ourselves.

 

[malg]

Expect Pep to shake them up and the rags to overcommit and tire.

I hope you're right, but I think they'll keep their intensity up as it's the new manager bounce and the Derby.

 

[Beanhead]

Time for the club to call out these decisions.
One of our players is going to be seriously injured if these fouls arent stop. Teams arent scared of fouling City because refs and var turn a blind eye to it. Something is going on.

This season has been a step too far. It’s so bloody obvious what is going on with the legal case. The league trying to get their own back. Pathetic.

 

[mcfc_ms]

At least the 2nd half can't get any worse...

 

[TFC]

Come on lads

 

[Rory Bluelow]

Good subs Pep

 

[pbueno16]

Foden being subbed off at halftime in a Manchester derby. Good lord
