Match Thread | Man Utd vs Man City (29/10/23)

[M Gaudino]

Just switched on for the second half and sky only showing United chances. I find it hard to believe that we didn’t have any chances first half.

this. also no mention of a yellow card when evans chopped grealish in half.

We really need a second and preferably third pretty quick as I don’t see us keeping them out

What a fucking idiot. I thought it was a 4.30pm kick off so had the dogs out, been on a media blackout as I can't stand the run up to a derby.....just logged on here for kick off and seen the Matchday Thread on 97 pages. Twat.

How have we done?

Dont use the m word please

I don't mind that so much if we stay tight at the back but they've got in behind us three times now. Considering that's their main tactic it's a bit worrying.

If this ends just 0-1 I’ll be gutted….

Should have scored one early on too. Waited for it to drrop instead of diving in.

It's been a good, controlled performance. We've dominated and created a few chances. Just got to be careful against the break. It was usually a bit of sloppiness from us that gave them the occasional opportunity.

More of the same 2nd half please but hopefully take few more of our chances and we should win this.

Yep diving header all day long in the pubs league. The boys still got a bit to learn, but he'll get there.

It should have been in the back of the net, it was straight at the keeper

Haha!

 

[Blu1]

This Utd team is the worst we have ever played yet we fear them it seems.

We are so much better than them & hope we show it second half

I’d be reluctant to change anything while we’ve got the lions-share of the play. Plus Jack and Bernardo are making their lives very hard.

If we need a bit of attacking impetus in the last 15-20 mins then having Doku up our sleeve is a major asset.

Yeah agree removing grealish for instance for Doku means we aren’t retaining the ball as much and I’d only bring him on if we are looking to kill them off late on ..

 

[Keeper!]

Calm down

Can't stand the fake laugh and fake "I love City",

Sky still hasn't woken up to the fact that they are flogging a dead horse promoting the rags.
