Yes it's an odd one. Dias for me has been dodgy for a while, Stones has definitely been the best centre back this year, Ake has done well and I would use him more. Cancelo of late has gone to pot too. Walker has been missed greatly but Zinchenko has done well despite the turmoil going on in his home country.Of course it is a contributing factor, but we’ve got a defence that regularly buckles when it is put under pressure. For the money spent it should be rock solid and it is definitely not!
Me tooI thought Ederson could have done more on their first goal
Their second was a touch fortunate, glancing off the player in front before the bullet header
Dias was naive on the pen, but I'm certain he got the ball
Bernardo was brilliant tonight as was Walker
We should have buried that tie in the first 20 minutes at home, but that's what you get in a cup competition
I'm logging off now till Sunday and I'm certainly staying away from any football until then
See you all later x
If only we had got a ‘bye’ in the semi’s like Liverpool
What does how long you've supported city have to do with anything at all? LolOh do fuck off soft lad I've been supporting us since 1968. I'm stabbing nobody, nor am I placing the blame all on him. He dies make the odd decent save but he also dithers on crosses and let's in some very saveable shots.
Seriously?? Not for me. Porto was on a different scale and I still don’t think I’ve got over itThis just hurts. Somehow more than the final last year.
How is it peps fault I’m intrigued?seconds???! at least 10 mins lad.. stop being happy clapper and realise pep has cost us AGAINN in champions league…
Agree. Eddy is amazing because you feel he does try ..all the time..just that he's not that good reallyJoe did fade badly and his technical weaknesses were mercilessly exploited. But...
On more than one occasion Joe actually won us games or kept us in games we could have been blown away in.
As a pure goalkeeper I don't think Eddy is that good. But I suppose we have to accept the compromise of him basically having to be as good as an outfield player with the ball at his feet.
Most of the time the balance works in our favour... occassionally not.
I'm not blaming Eddy for tonight, its more a general observation.
bollocksseconds???! at least 10 mins lad.. stop being happy clapper and realise pep has cost us AGAINN in champions league…
Maybe Di Matteo is the answer?
True but they already the Carabao Cup this season (albeit with a huge slice of luck)No no you DO want Liverpool to win nothing.
I think its just the way we lost, but also recency bias. Ask me in a week and I'll say the final was worse. Right now, everything is just awful.Seriously?? Not for me. Porto was on a different scale and I still don’t think I’ve got over it
Or Rafa (maybe not)...Or Avram?
Absolute bollocks about Ronaldo. We wouldn’t be top of the league with that egotistical self obsessed **** in our team. Where have united gone with the likes of him and Sancho in their squad? Second to fucking SIXTH. He will score a few goals but he would wreck the phenomenal team spirit we have in our club. Fucking Ronaldo lol, signing the preening overpaid **** would have been criminalHaaland and Alvarez are a start. If we want to win the big one and see out the league more easily we could do a lot worse than offer united 30m for Ronaldo and give him Whatever wages he wants for two or three years. The best player of the last 30 years was lined up for us in the summer and we turned him down. Criminal
We are a team stuffed full of internationals, they should be capable of managing a game. It is the players on the field not Pep.seconds???! at least 10 mins lad.. stop being happy clapper and realise pep has cost us AGAINN in champions league…
Me too
I thought Ederson could just have stepped Forward to close the Space, and easily gather the Ball from the cross .It actually looks like he thinks it is going to land in his arms. Before An easy Header hits the back of our net.
Might be great with his feet, really is his only redeeming quality.
I didn't fancy us if it went to Penalties because he tends to jump to either side before the Ball is even hit.
I think a Static Traffic Cone would at least save something.
sums it up for meYou just can't let a 2 goal lead slip 4 times and be a serious team. They bottled it, over both legs. Would have been easier against 10 men tonight, but the defending in the second half (all the way through was embarrassing) was absolutely criminal. Dias had his worst game for City and failed to lead effectively
Ridiculous comment. De Gea wins games for United because that's what goalkeepers at shit football clubs do. Help them cling on to results. We don't need a goalkeeper to "win us games" because 99% of the time we dominate games and put teams to bed for half time and Ederson doesn't have anything to do.100%. I struggle to name a game Ederson has won for us with saves. I can name about ten this season de Gea has for them
He’s not good enough at stopping shots. Simple.
