Great result. Thoroughly enjoyed that and thrilled for McAtee.

Go on then, own up. Who sent this to the BBC??View attachment 142827

Poor old Anthony from Peterborough, perhaps professional sport isn't for him.Maybe he should just watch the WI tiddlywinks competitions, if that have them. Or maybe join a knitting circle.

Is there anyone Pep can’t turn into a left back?

O’Reilly was superb there tonight. He glided past players with ease.

Mubama was far better than I was expecting. He had good movement, strength and put himself about really well. His movement was infectious to others too.

Thought McAtee was pretty poor for an hour, but then superb for the last 30 mins.

Haaland could do worse that watch McAtee’s movement when he scored Doku’s cross.

Doku destroyed their right back. He’ll need counselling for a while after that.

Simpson-Pusey impressed quietly and efficiently too.



Salford were beyond shit though.

All in all, a gr8 day out.

He wasn't left back he was left cb in a three
Have to say he looked class in that position winning the ball and carrying it forward.

I also thought Grealish did well, if a little hesitant at times, was happy he scored his penalty.

Ryan Giggs is a ****?

 

[skillman]

Well, my little one’s first game and what a game! Amazing. And he lasted the whole 90 minutes at the grand old age of 4 in 0 degree heat.

So happy!

How they are 2nd in their league I don’t know.

They aren’t Crewe are :)

Nice to see us put in a thoroughly professional performance and actually keep it going right to the end. Far too often we faff about and sit back when we go a few up.
Pleased for McAtee, he took his goals very well, fairly reminiscent of prime time Gundogan. Doku had a field day, O'Reilly was strong and skillfully, you wouldn't have guessed that wasn't his usual position.

We’ve had fans moan - “Nunes made the mistakes against United because he’s not a left back”

Salford aren’t United standard (but not far off!) and O’Reilly, a CM, put in a quality, assured performance being played out of position.

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Firstly I love Joe hart. Speaks so well about city

Mcatee deserves a starting 11 end of

Jack got minutes in legs just needs more. I have never wanted a city player to do as well

O Reilly deserves his chance now over older players

Good performance but not great but young players won us that for me. Energy

Cmon city

Who would you put McAtee and O’ Reilly in ahead of?

 

[Zenmanc]

Is there anyone Pep can’t turn into a left back?

To be fair, Nunes for one.

 

[hihosilva]

OReilly did really well today but could do with a sterna test in midfield to see his true ability.

 

[Millo]

I wish we could play them every week!

 

[.db.]

We had fewer shots today than we did when we lost 0-4 to Spurs. And Spurs actually had fewer shots in that game than Salford did today.

 

[simmo]

Put a mighty £1.50 at 40/1 on 8 nil.

Good game to watch and a lot of energy in the side and all trying to do well for the full 90 minutes. Doku was superb and was impressed with O’Reilly.

Just what was needed a positive result.

Gotta love the BBC - couldn't even bring themselves to display the correct scoreline at full time. Cunts

There was a comment near the end when they had a free kick and I’m sure I heard the commentator say, come on smash it in the city net or something like that. Murphy had Savinho diving when he was clearly fouled and there were a couple of other things too. If they didn’t want to witness that, they should have chosen a different game!

That picture of Scholes is great though! They also panned to him first half when he looked like he had fallen asleep!

What an odd stat, just goes to show that sometimes shots just go in and sometimes they don't. Bloody football eh?

 

[Winchester]

I had £5 on JD Scoring a double at 12/1
Cheers pal!

All it goes to show it what a poorly run organisation it is. Such a waste of public money.

They always think double figures is just TWO. Get to the giddy heights of twice that and the BBC bots' heads start exploding.
