United (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

I was a bit taken aback with that our away support is vibrant and loyal. But as I said earlier this was probably the worst we have ever played in my long lifetime against this lot. I am not certain if I would have walked out, I hope not.
It was a shit display but hardly a 6-1. Think as fans we need to take our heads for a wobble
 
I think me and you could have worn our slippers, had a brew in one hand and still marked haaland out of the game.
He needs resting for a couple of games, let him lie on a beach for a week and recharge the batteries.
He looks completely drained.
Haaland gets cut a lot of slack. I understand why, but he needs calling out now. His body language and effort tell a very different story than just being drained.

As my pal that works within the club said to me, “hes a big sulky baby”

Yep him and foden not looked the same for last 3/4 games! The pressing for no reason has fucked them up! We need to fuck the press off pep needs to come up with another way than pressing high then getting played through
 
As I said during the game, and which quite a few seemed to have an issue with, I'll continue to support the team, irrespective of the shite they occasionally dish up. If I survived the 90s, I'll survive this. But Chtist; days like today does test your resolve.
I doubt anybody has an issue with that, I'd imagine everybody on here will still be supporting City, we just don't all feel the need to say it as it is taken as read.
 
Its like he's frightened of those games and doesn't want to really put it on the line in case we lose. Somehow not being at our best and losing is more acceptable to him. Almost deliberately hamstrings us. There's a name for it, which escapes me, in elite sports circles. Athletes and Tennis players, in particular, love an excuse on standby.
It's called Mourinhoism.

That prick used to scour the fixture list in August, planning the season's excuses.
 
Has anyone got Haalands stats, since Norway qualified for the WC? Looks to me to be hiding, not wanting to get injured and miss the tournament! Certainly not putting in the effort he was earlier in the season!
A couple of Seasons ago away at Arsenal, the guy was a beast.
I thought we have a generational talent here.
These last 6 games and he looks like a poor version of Dzeko.
 
Nope 10 mins in rags down to ten men mentally the game be totally different! We would of controlled the game a lot better and picked them of..
We will never know.

Should probably have been a red.

Irrelevant though because we never laid a glove on them before or after.
I don't think we can use the non red as any sort of excuse for that shitshow.
 
Before we go on about the shambolic and inept performance, let's talk about the sending off that wasn't. Every fucking game we're getting shafted yet not one person in the media is highlighting it. Its criminal what's going on. Anyway, talking about criminals, there were 9 of the cunts on that pitch today and one on the touchline. Sorry Pep, you're the goat and have been magnificent, but you need calling out on that side you put out and that lack of team talk at half time. First couple of seconds, ball played out to Ake who can't control a fucking pea roller pass! Do you wonder why Alleyne then looked a bag of nerves looking at that. Foden and Haaland were nothing short of disgraceful! Brilliant players,but both now need dropping and a rocket up their arses. Rodri was poor, never got into the game,maybe because he was kicked to fuck with impunity but he was poor for his standards. The rest of team bar Kushy and Donnarumma were poor,very poor. I turned it off after first goal because I was fucking sick of what I was watching(I also thought if I turned it off and prayed that we'd score) Lewis though..I'm not a hater,but WTF! Anyway, it's a week long media black out for me, really fucking hate those vile cunts with every fuckin breath. We'll be back. CTIFD!
When Lewis got a yellow card i thought you shithouse
 
I thought the win at SJP could be a pivotal moment on our way back to competing for titles. But then today happens and it's back to despair sadly.

Miles off it. Absolutely toothless. Every man and their dog knew what the rags would put in today, they came off absolutely fucked from the effort they put in. We coasted around playing at walking pace and creating fuck all. I've seen the rags at their very best play a completely dross City side plenty of times and we gave them a tougher game than today.

Yes we were missing a few players but even so, we were fucking woeful. I don't know what our attacking plan was. Clearly we were terrified of their ability on the counter so thought it best not to bother trying anything, only to gift them two goals anyway.

If it's too late this month, we need a RB, another wide player and 2 central midfielders. To not lay a glove on a side with Maguire at the back and Casemiro, Bruno and Mainoo in the middle should ring alarm bells at boardroom level.
 
Good shout, but he showed defensive instincts straight away, didn't he?

If somebody has been exposed repeatedly, like Ait-Nouri or Rico, they are never going to make it there, not at the levels required for any team seriously challenging for trophies.

It is not an attack on the individuals - I was hopeless in defence, too easily drawn towards the ball. By the time that I notice it in a player, you can bet your life that every other coach already has.
I first saw Pardoe as a left back who then converted to centre forward.
 
Disappointed in the blues who left early. I thought we were shite but you still stay and get behind the lads. Hope they don't get tickets in the away end again

It's disappointing, but if you've ever been at the swamp it's the last place on earth you want to stay if you've lost and I don't blame anyone leaving when we got a performance like that. The fans shouldn't stand for such a lack of effort and character.

Haaland was stunned when he was subbed. Still not sure if he realised he was on the pitch in the first place. That's true of so many. Foden has been fucking trash for a month and shouldn't start for a month as punishment. The standards at the club have fallen off a cliff.
