In fairness to those I normally don’t trust, apart from a few loose passes Walker has been brilliant and Mendy has recovered from his early nap in the box.
Centre of the park beginning to purr.
Fern at the back and Rodri working really well.
Even Bravo doing alright.

Just how many Bernardo’s are on the pitch tonight? The guy is bloody everywhere!

 

[Metalartin]

Pep's clearly looking for a excuse to leave by fucking things up...

 

[Postman Pep]

Seems odd to say It, but I’m disappointed it’s not 5... it should be. Raheem has been awful that half.

Steady on don't want to be accused of disrespecting inferior opponents like last years semi

imagine rag faces when aguero steps on the pitch

That performance was for everyone in the pre-match thread.

Imagine if we hadn't picked such a dreadful team?!

Not everyone mate. Some of us called it right!

Presumably the VAR is going to be subbed off for the second half?

Judging by the farcical decision to call the foul against Rodri at the end (even though that was arguably a red card challenge from Fred), I think VAR was subbed off before the halftime whistle.

I think most of us are just commenting on how bad he has been this half, which is fair, as he has barely looked a professional footballer, much less his usual prolific self.

But as I said earlier, I await his second half hat trick. ;-)

It is a little more than that though isn't it, some of the comments are hyper bowl to the max and it always feels like they are just lurking waiting to jump all over him, I didn't say he is playing well, he isn't but he is a tryer and it just isn't nice to fucking read, especially as we have the press to deliver all the hatred we can take.

united need to aspire to improve in the second half.

They need to get to the byline.

Love when Mahrez went though Tyler was as silent as the night. Wouldn't be surprised of a Sky intern had to restrain him from leaping put of the press box.
