I....would not !

Looks great when it works like that. We must do a heck of a lot of that in training.

One of my most favourite parts of the night was seeing the blue dippers get their knick knocks in a right twist when we sand “we know what you are, cheating bastards”

You’d think, coming from Liverpool they’d be used to that sort of accusation in daily life.

Looks like this lad had a good Xmas.

How many seats did he buy ? He deserves some fame for that!

We are still working at it prematch. They play that triangles game (it’s got a posh name that I can’t be arsed to look up) at the side of the pitch when warming up and it’s mesmerising to watch.

Fair enough I was a bit hasty in slagging the team off at half time.

I still don’t think we’re clicking though. Need to keep some clean sheets and link together some back to back wins, and really get into a groove.

That's me too. I really had enough by half time, but forgave them after the 2nd half more like it performance and I loved Phil and Bernies goals. Something still not right though, a settled defence, KDB and Erl back would help, plus a reliable deputy for Rodri.

Is it called Rondos? If not ignore me. It is stunning to watch

Yeah that sounds right :-)

I worry that a 33/34 year old Kev coming back after a 9 month injury won’t exactly be flying from day one.

He’s a massive boost obviously but can’t pin all our hopes on Kev.

Piggy in the middle we called it in school!

Whatever it is Rondo or not the only team I have seen recently do it nearly as well was Fluminense in odd bursts last week.

Haha!

I totally agree, but even if we have him available for only selected games he is gonna bring some creativity and a few unexpected Kev delights...

Normally takes a few games for him to get up to speed.

It felt like we threw our marker down in the second half and reminded people why we are an elite team.

The guys on the NBC postgame show were pretty impressed. Robbie Mustoe thinks it is possible we go on a winning run right now. I've been skeptical that we have the horses to stack up a bunch of wins in a row, but I would love to see it.

The same twats who were complaining for almost 5 minutes about the penalty. Hosted by Rebecca Lowe who started the show with a wankfest around how "Man United channelled their traditional DNA yesterday"

The media will always throw red meat to United fans. They use them for ratings and clicks. I just chuckle to myself when they run with United DNA, United in Crisis, United the most in form team. They just are just dangling the raw chicken for the alligator.

I don't find the US broadcasts to be anti-City. There just isn't a lot of incentive to portray an anti-City message to US audiences.

Absolutely brilliant 2nd half performance.

Foden turned into a man easily MOTM

They showed that they want 4 in a row.

Kev is 32 and doesn't turn 33 for 6 months

Had time to reflect on last night’s performance. Looked like the team of years gone past in patches.They worked really hard against a defensive minded team.Pleased with the overall performance and result.Hope this is the start of a good run and hopefully a return of some of our key players
Let’s enjoy the ride

Yes, my thoughts entirely. I didn't watch yesterday but watched this morning in full. We played very well, in difficult conditions, in a tough away fixture/ground.
We've always been able to ship soft goals. That's the nature of Peps style but we still have the belief that we can beat what ever's in front of us.
That shone through in abundance last night.
Looking at the match thread, oh my fucking days. Some of them must piss the bed every time the wind blows! It's beyond pathetic.
Walker's gone, blamed for the goal. Akanji shit. Nunes shit. Rodri fucked. Silva, blah blah blah. Seriously? We're borderline skeleton squad. Ffs.
Thank fuck Pep and the boys have more faith in the team than some of bed wetting, pillow biters that litter this place with their own insecurities.
Grow the fuck up, you needy fuckers.

You do remember neither of our previous exciting wingers were great defensively?

It's not something that's natural for these types of players. Getting forward is the instinct. The defensive game is more a demand from Guardiola than most managers as they tend to prefer the availability for the quick counter.

I know what you mean but even FFS occasionally got back and made a tackle.
Sane was lazy and that's probably why he went.
Jack is the best of them as an up and down winger.
Doku is absolutely terrible... but will learn and get better.
