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

Are we really starting to dog Haaland?

I can't believe it's being talked about so much. It's a clear as day penalty.

It was.
But it’s no surprise it’s being talked about so much, given that there is a rabidly one-eyed utd fan on commentary - and setting the tone for the entire discussion.

 

[blueju]

Battered them but need another to be safe, 1-0 is precarious and they’ll always have pace on the counter.

I worry about that Garnacho prick that comes on, he’s effective in what he does and will be against tired legs.

Should be 2/3-0 up already. Come on City

We can do the same with Doku.

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

I'll be ecstatic but I don't see us keeping a clean sheet.

This could easily be one of those games where Pep makes no subs at all. Doku would give them too many turnovers and therefore too many counter attacks. He’s just as likely to create a goal for them as he is for us. Then any midfield change (Kovacic/Nunes) alters the way we’re pressing as Bernardo is crucial to it in the role he has today. Maybe the only change that doesn’t come with too many risks is Ake for Gvardiol at some point, but I feel like everything else we could do is risky.

 

[PaulTheOctopus]

Half expecting Tierney to even that up with a soft penalty from a random break or corner.
Gvardiol needs to sharpen up.

Need to keep our composure and take a couple of our chances, ok so far.

Agree there
We are definitely not murdering united because we are giving up some free chances for united
Hope we can step up even a notch

Haaland hit it firmly on target. Don't think it makes it a bad effort in that if he'd slightly skimmed it or it was lower to the target he would have scored. Trying to angle it more he might have missed. One of those things.

 

[TinFoilHat]

Imagine the wanks if Rice played like Jackie today.
