Match Thread | Man United vs Man City (14/01/23)

Sniff, sniff.

I smell a rag.

Nothing wrong with what he wrote. We had most of the posession, but we were sloppy and struggled to create anything. United should be way happier with the first half than us. I fully expect a different City side in the 2nd

 

[Afterthefact]

Why does pep keep mahrez and foden pinned so high? United perfectly happy to have them there.

I missed the first 15 minutes as I was asleep. I wish I still was. I don’t know what’s up with, us not even able to make simple passes. The only way I see us scoring is from a free kick or maybe a Rodri thunderbastard

 

[BlueMonkey79]

Is De Bruyne fucked or has father time caught up with him? . The one player that has gone backwards more than any other.

At least they seem only to have 1 attack plan and that is long ball over the top and hope Rashford gets it. If we can keep that from happening I can see them at least not scoring.

 

[WestGorton]

Put the ball over for Haaland. He can't score without the ball

 

[deano ou812]

Ref giving us nothing should have been a free kick for foul on mahrez but we know what he’s trying to do ..we are playing at 50/60% and still far better just need to quicken it up around the final third ..

 

[Petetheblu]

Some of the players genuinely don't seem to be able to see Haaland, it's bizarre.

Or foden

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Foden much improved in his preferred position

I prefer Foden being on the right like he was last derby.

We do look rather toothless away from home at the moment.

I feel that our players have been conditioned for a safety first approach at all times. The runs are there, both KDB and Haaland have made some fantastic runs but Bernardo, Walker and Cancelo seem reluctant to make the pass.

Just away from home?
