United (a) post-match thread

Ugh the texts from United fans are already coming in... That was ugly. Can't think of a single positive takeaways from that match. Nobody played well. Hopefully Ederson got all of his mistakes for the season out of the way in one match.

Silver lining - Grand scheme of things it doesn't matter all that much. We'll finish 2nd. We've still won the league cup and are the oddsmakers favorites for the FA Cup and CL.

Even before all the UEFA shit I think we all knew this season was all about the CL. As long as we're still doing well in Europe I'm not going to let a loss in the derby get me down for too long.
 
The Gundogan and Rodri midfield works fine against more attacking teams to break down play. Against teams we need to break down, one needs to be dropped. It’s so obvious to everyone, but pep quite clearly has his favourites who must start nearly every game

Pep did't throw it with his team selection.

A dreadful performance from Ederson did. City didn’t do enough to win but should never have conceded those two goals, both of which Ederson was badly at fault on.

We have to buy two high quality centre backs in the summer, one needs to be world class; both need to be big, strong and quick.

It was a poor team selection.

We had to bring on Jesus and Mahrez to get back into it - they should have started.
 
Ederson - Worst performance in a City Shirt
Zinchenko - Slow and gave the ball away too much
Otamendi - Trier but always a mistake in him
Fernandinho - Wasted in defence, in two ways
Cancelo - not a great defender, not great going forward
Rodri - Jury's still out as a replacement for Ferdandinho - great when we're bullying teams, bad when we're not
Gundogan - If he's not playing defensive mid against lower league don't play him
Foden - For someone that needs to stake a claim for a first team place and/or replacement for Dave - did himself no favours today
Sterling - May as leave him out versus Utd or Liverpool or we play with ten men
Bernado - Not played well since the ban
Aguero - Scored a perfectly good Liverpool/Man Utd goal today but other than that....

Mendy - Not a great defender, not a great crosser of the ball.
