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

The insistence on slowing everything down is so infuriating. Every team can see that if you press us quickly we just revert to pass, pass, pass, pass….theres no urgency in trying to exploit the space that their pressing creates

Footballers are such wimps. Rolling on the ground after being caught in the mouth. Didn't know it affected your legs.

 

[PSmyth07]

Rico still on field shows Pep has given up.

Pep sat on the bench shows that

I’ll be twating some red fella in the pub in 10-9-8-7

 

[ScottSinclair]

Put them under pressure. Make them nervous. Ffs I am so sick and tired of this fucking slow shite football

 

[blubanjo]

Haaland may have a better goal ratio than Aguero but he would have worked his balls off. Haaland is in carthorse mode today.

No comparison

 

[youngbob]

Have defended Rico for ages but today that ends. Not big enough, not strong enough, not composed enough.

 

[MCFC1993]

Shite Lewis.

 

[samuelyeboah]

Lewis isn't a right back. Shite today.

barely a football player. his level is exeter.

Just wish we’d take a risk and have a few shots from distance now. Find Rodri and let him have a couple of 25 yard thunderbolts.

Trying to dribble through to their 6 yard box or pass-pass-pass-pass-pass side to side in their third is getting us nowhere.

I’m not even getting that exercised about the Dalot challenge early on because on this evidence I don’t think it would have made much difference.

Conceding a goal from our own free kick in the final third was absolutely criminal.

 

[Bluemoonie92]

Why hasn't he changed anything? Even if its just swapping the wingers around. We could play till midnight and nothings going to change. 75 mins and we haven't had a sniff. Wolves did more than us ffs. We are boring

 

[johncity]

Poor today so slow

 

[dctid]

Rico fan boys please defend this

Not his fault he was selected what is he meant to do refuse to play

 

[Mancityus]

Pep was really impressed with Rico's performance against Exeter.

 

[NordStrike]

Exter level player

 

[Sleeping_Easy]

So disjointed across the pitch. No cohesion or rhythm at all

 

[bugsyblue]

We were shite in the cuo final and at the 0-0 here last season.

Even the cup final we weren’t this bad

 

[Ajm1985]

Ah; got it. So we don't need to supper the team on here then? I'd best get on to @Ric then, and get him to scrap the forum.

I wouldn’t supper the team anywhere but I also wouldn’t consistently whinge about fans being pissed off at a poor performance in a match thread on a forum

 

[The perfect fumble]

Rod steward is a city fan

 

[skillman]

Lewis is absolutely tragic as a right back. Has been since he came into the side 3 years ago, baffling he still gets played there
