Match Thread | Man Utd vs Man City (24/04/19)

Not sure what most of you are seeing.

We were comfortably the better side that half just didn't have our shooting boots on.

We'll get 3-5 chances 2nd half and need to be taking them.

Marriner has lined the red card up nicely the ****.

Very difficult to play normally with so much riding on the result. Very similar to the second half on Saturday, but with it getting to the stage now that players might think twice about taking the bigger risks for fear of us losing the ball and, consequently, a goal. However, with the stakes so high and games running out, a draw may not suffice. Huge half ahead.

Deeply concerned at this stage. Referee clearly for the rags....disgraceful.

We have been poor, Utd are a poor side and we should be ahead. I am afraid Raheem Sterling has a job on in the second half as that half has been a return to the dreadful finishing that stops him becoming a world class player. The two chances he fluffed would have been buried or one would by a top player...or having missed them a top player would make amends in the second half so lets see what happens.

This feels like the kind of game that the rags are going to get a dodgy decision from which they will score and at the moment we dont look to have a goal let alone 2/3 in us.

Dare I suggest that Pep may have made an error in starting Merlin? Again he has looked poor?

Pep needs to do his job at half time or I am afraid there will be a very large job lot of candles going to waste in Liverpool.

We'll do these.
Merlin has been alright.

Busted!

Schoolboy error!

 

[Don Karleone]

I always think he leaves them too late

Same. Few people saying Foden coming on though, Trying something at least.

 

[hammocity]

I feel fucking ill ffs

I’ve felt like that for three days

 

[BlueMoonz1977]

Well it rests now on this 45 minutes of football to keep the title in our own hands.

 

[Zenmanc]

Gundo off. Bernie inside. Sane out wide and rip young a new arse.

Yep.

 

[The slaughtered lamb]

Thought we did much better last 10 mins, starting to control it. I'd love Leroy to come on for Gundog with Raz going to the right and Bernardo in the middle, that would see us home and dry I think.

That doesn't take Marriner into account though, cnut of the highest order - can see Vinny seeing red if he's not careful.

 

[Afterthefact]

Would like to see our highest chemistry combos out there second half. Think the passing is off because these aren’t the ideal pairings or triangles, and it’s simply not clicking as a result. Really seems no one’s making runs because no one thinks the ball will be there for them.
