Spot-on. Some of our European matches were great for the neutrals (not us of course) because our opponents didn't sit back at all. Our players are worn out and can't find the space they used to against the negative clubs. We always try to win. It is still very rare for us to even draw a match.
Let's just remember how useless and pathetic Gary Neville was, as a head coach (for Valencia) and an assistant coach (England).
I have quoted this a coupe of times but blaming the opposition is short sighted for me. It is on us to break them down, if teams have found a way to stopping us, why are we complaining about it. Passing backwards and sideways hundreds of times and not even resulting in a chance at goal, for me, is boring to watch. I said it prior to our freefall. We didn't try to win the game yesterday, you can argue United didn't but they looked more threatening and got into them areas a lot more than us. We know how teams will set up against us yet we play into their hands weekly. We played the second worst team in the league midweek, with the second worst defence in the league and mustered up 4 shots on target. It isn't good enough
Might need a rule change, 4 players in opposing half type of rule, heaven forbid
Yeah we didn't sound loud on TV but that wasn't to say we wasn't. I suspected that may be the case. First half United were prominent in terms of noise, they can't manipulate not hearing a pin drop to that but they absolutely keep the microphones away from that away end
Apart from when we sang old Trafford is falling down, der der der der der der der der, ten Hag is a fucking clown…
I don't doubt we weren't loud at all, we just wasn't that loud on TV for the reasons already stated. Sun out, KDB news, our fans was always going to be up for it.
I ucan understand Pep bring cautious for the first half of an away Derby (even though MUFC are dire this season).
Been saying this for ages,
We’ve all seen and know what sky do when the dippers do the gerry marsden karaoke before the kick off. All scripted for the cameras
Add in his absolute silence in other ways, e.g. when it was clear that Casemiro was (imo) somewhat reckless in his challenge on Foden that led to him picking up a knock. The other way around that’s a free kick from the ref and red nev is talking about excessive force.
His rant about the game becoming boring after was spoken as a United fan who are no longer top dogs. His rag ag entitlement syndrome hitting out that other clubs have evolved and broken the PL model they were successful in. It sounded like he was the denial stage of grieving that is his club is now a mid table team run by slick oil salesman.
With the greatest of respect, and please excuse my language, but what you wrote is Codswallop.
100% and what is going to happen when you get two teams whos game plan is to sit back and hit on the break playing against each other.
Agree with this. We had no problems breaking teams down with fully-fit Foden, peak Bernardo, Gundo, KDB, Stones, Akanji and especially Rodri. With the right recruitment we will be back next season with all guns blazing.
Villa are in the quarter finals of the CL (much as I hate them), Newcastle have won a trophy, Forest are poised to qualify for Europe. That's not boring. It is just that Neville, like so many self-entitled Rags, can't cope with any competition.
