Match Thread | Man City vs. Man United (03/03/24)

[ws01]

Worldie from Sir Rashy MBE, wasteful first half, and now Paul Scholes' monotune voice giving analysis at halftime

What have I done to deserve this horror

 

[Keeper!]

Hopefully now people are starting to realise just what Jack brings to this team.

this team is short of pace all through the team, that's what is missing and some one just willing to take a chance

 

[bluemoon32]

His numbers are unbelievable but he dont half miss some right sitters

 

[gomer27]

Our continued lack of finishing is appalling

 

[Goldust]

Breaks down every time Doku gets the ball

Cos he’s tripe.

 

[christened at st marks]

Nunes or Kovacic for Doku, something has to change down that left side. Shift Bernardo over there permanently and let one of the new guys get into the middle of the park.

I'd sooner have Gvadiol than him on LW

 

[madloaf]

I said it earlier, but I'd get Nunes on for Stones. The latter is incredible, but at the end of the day, he's a centre-back finding himself in the box multiple times. It's just too defensive for me. To add to this, you have two fullbacks who are completely defensively-minded.

Id rather Nunes for doku.

 

[Lavinda Past]

Anybody remember that last time we came from behind to beat them?
Got to be 50 years ago.
We're doing everything but score, which is a pity as that's the important bit.

1968 at the swamp when we won the league. Best scored early and then we battered them 3-1.

If there's been one since it won't have been that good.

Hopefully now people are starting to realise just what Jack brings to this team.

Think most do, not the same team without him. He controls the tempo of the game. Huge miss.

 

[DrBlueBob]

I’d be amazed if pep changes anything apart from injuries.

The pattern of the game is going exactly how he wants it, we’re camped in their box, creating chances and not really conceding any.

A fluke goal and the best striker in the world have a once in a lifetime miss isn’t going to make him make changes.

In reality, it's not a once in a lifetime miss. I'm not baying for blood but the big man does miss a few relative sitters. Plus it's at an awkward height.
