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

[Damanino]

will be livid if we let Carrick celebrate a win eve a draw here. only for him to gift easy 3 points to Arteta next game.

we need to move the ball with speed as we are so slow they can sit back with 11 men around their box and then counter with speed where we are also slow..

those tight offsides are warning signs, Pep needs to pay attention.

Foden, Alleyne off, serious action from Pep, he knows he has to fucking win this.

 

[Blue-Ghana]

That’s probably the worst, most disjointed, weak, timid, half of football I’ve seen from City this season.
No creativity, slow passing behind the players, there are 2 fucking fullbacks on yellows, why the fuck is Doku going inside all the time?
Ake is going to cost us if he stays on, & Lewis is not a fullback, I’m sure Pep even said so recently.
O’Reilly & Doku have a great understanding, why isn’t he playing?
Is this Pep overthinking again?

Yes, Lewis is coming in too centrally, pushing Semanyo wide.

Pep never "got" the Derby. We should be fired up. The only reason we beat them is because they're so bad. The rags at least treat the fixture like it's a derby

I love Pep but I have never liked the way he speaks about these cunts.

Pep’s fist words in his pre-match interview today were ‘United have a fantastic history, we know this’.

Why do it, Pep?

 

[chris85mcfc]

He should be embarrassed getting pulled off at half time in the derby, but its fully deserved

Cherki to win us the game now

 

[Beanhead]

Ake will be fine as long as he doesn’t have to run…

Interesting take on a professional footballer.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

All from a shite throw in. How are we so shit at them?

 

[blue cigar]

Red card not given, kicking fuck out of us.....this is where we take over and win it

 

[Draikin]

Nice throw Rico

 

[samuelyeboah]

okay changes don't seem to have woken the team up jesus christ

 

[platty7]

Watch how much cherki gets on it compared to Phil on the 10

 

[Gabriel]

No danger of Lewis becoming a long-throw threat…

 

[stan bowles]

All caused by Rico's terrible throw in.

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

Good pep but both should have started..you know that right?

 

[yeseye]

Haaland looks as weak as a spring lamb ffs.

 

[Pedestrian]

A game too far for max. Could see towards the end of that half he was being missed out of the passing. Daft to put him in against these lot. Cherki for Phil is the obvious choice. Phil should be his understudy for a few games.

 

[pbueno16]

Been coming.

And deserved

 

[Ajm1985]

Cool, started this half just as badly. Fuck me, put some effort in, lads

 

[sh249]

Lol. From our throw in.
Embarrassingly easy.

 

[BluestBlue]

Why did he take out a young centre back who has legs and keep the old one who physically can’t run or defend

 

[OrigamiNinja]

We can’t even take a decent throw-in. Fucking ridiculous.
