Match Thread | Manchester United vs. Manchester City (17/01/26)

Khu battling the rags on his own.

 

[SamTheGuru]

New manager syndrome in full effect here unfortunately.

 

[Semper aggressus]

Come on City, it’s the fucking derby ffs, step it the fuck up!!!!

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

at last, winning some tackles, pressing...come on

 

[argyle]

Our passes are always just a bit out of reach for the next player and we're playing like we think we have ages on the ball.

 

[wolviedinho]

Haaland nothing again.

such a shit run

 

[HypnoticBlue]

Lewis is a headless chicken, can’t believe he’s still anywhere near this squad.

 

[Bluemoonie92]

Just fucking shoot, please

 

[Beanhead]

Can the Lewis fanboys finally admit they are all Clarkie’s.

 

[citymad]

Ffs oreilly you’ve been doing that quite a lot lately.

 

[skillman]

I’d get Nico G on alongside Rodri. There’s no composure in the middle. Bernardo hiding behind players (oddly) rather than showing for the ball

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Dorgu is pissing me right off. Cheating **** trying to engineer contact every time he gets near the final third.

 

[MichaelFrontzeck'sBathroom]

Matter of time unfortunately, no faith in us today

 

[Damanino]

hardly any intention to have a go at them. just slow, pass back at any situation promising something, and go bback to passing with Ake-Rodri at halfway line then lose the ball and they counter.

sorry but Pep is outfoxed by this joker Carrick in 50 mins so far.

WAKE UP

 

[OntarioBlue]

We’ve already seen more from Cherki than we saw from Foden in all of the first half. Now we just need to wake Haaland up

 

[waspish]

First chance for Haaland blocked

 

[stan bowles]

Cherki making us look more of a threat.

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

I will never get what Lewis gives us. People were crying about savinho but this guy doesn’t have any input on the defensive or offensive side

Lewis is a really good impact sub to only be used selectively in games where we have momentum and the team is physical, and he can play in an attacking MF type roaming role…….this isn’t it and pep has either completely overthought this game or not given it much thought at all. I can’t decide which but if a game needed a really clever bit of pep ingenuity…it was this one.

He is injured and not in the squad

Kush is so good
