Match Thread | Man City vs Man Utd (06/03/22)

[Keeper!]

No need to press too hard. Let's just keep possession and look for the little errors from the fullback positions

we are getting caught too often, they look dangerous in our half

 

[bluemoon32]

Grealish is playing well

 

[M Gaudino]

their tactics have taken us by surprise, hopefully Pep will adjust at half time so we’re more secure

 

[Revolver]

We look great going forward as half went on. But on too many occasions it looks like they will score. Can’t see it staying 2-1.
I know it’s not Peps style but I wish we could play a little bit more defensively. Draw them out.
Still we have turned up for this derby.

He’s being disciplined in his role - doing what Pep wants of him regardless of daft comments from nobs.

I think he expects him to run from the right touchline to the left touchline and get in the way haha

We are winning which is great,but there is so much wrong out there today.

So fucking slow and hesitant,and a proper lack of fluidity....too many midfielders getting in each others way and unable to get back and defend or support the attack.

Square pegs again!

Thankfully its the Rags and not a better team.

When keeper! likes your post, you know you're talking bollocks!

How the fuck does Slabhead get away with rugby tackling a player who as a chance to score, then ends up with a free kick for his troubles.
Fucking ridiculous

I wish Pep would ask that after the game.

Fucking ridiculous

Because he plays for England?

Sky half time summary. Man utd excellent as they push moneybags City hard in glorious 2-1 defeat. Also, there were no penalty incidents. Not one.

NBC highlights didnt show the penalty either. Air brushed. Never happened

Typical derby that but actually, it's not...how come we can go to their place and totally control the match yet at home, we look quite open at the back?
Something not quite right in midfield at the moment, an extra body needed?
Good from KDB to finish both moves, Jack has been very good down the left, Mahrez is coming more into the game.
Quiet from Silva so far.
Not impressed again by Cancelo
Does anybody think it will finish 2-1? seems unlikely....
