Success is earned not given.

Let’s see who has what it takes.

A team filled with non scorers ain't going to cut it. Far too many of them couldn't hit a cows arse with a banjo. And that fucking high line.

Didn't deserve to lose that game 4-1, let's be honest. Actually a very good performance first half. Two braindead moments from Gvardiol and Nunes and Haaland's customary penalty miss of the season killed us.

System probably needs to evolve again, but I don't see how with this group of players. Need a signing or two in January.

Mitoma gonna have the game of his life.

Been coming for ages, maybe it has to happen for Pep to get his head out of his arse and fix the glaring problems. And if it does have to happen, I'd rather it be in this competition where it doesn't matter at this stage than in the league.

So many people are looking in the wrong direction for the problem here though blaming players. It's nothing to do with the players, it's all on pep and his sunday league suicide shape. This will not be fixed until he changes the shape, doesn't matter who plays.

The worrying thing is pep has had weeks upon weeks of us scraping through gametoagainst week opposition to spot and fix it, he hasn't so I've no faith he'll do what's neccesary by the weekend and as a result i fear Brighton will be an ugly bloodbath.

Pep hasn't got the tools he had. We cannot keep up the bar with 2 WC players missing. Added to that we have 2 wingers who rarely beat their defender and when they do how many times do we see the ball get to Haaland's head - almost never. Our game is side to side and back. The direct play beat us easy tonight. Dont think it's rocket science really. Lose quality. Lose matches.

 

[Blue Maverick]

Everyone going on about January who the fuck do people think we are going to buy? Pep needs to tweak out formation to compensate for the players been out, the highline is killing us, if he carries on that way it will end up like his first season. We are still in the CL, second in the league, would you rather support United?

 

[eastmanc]

Well that wasn't very good was it.

First half City were very good, second half, what the fuck happened. School boy defending. Mind you we weren't great at the back in the first.

Crisis what crisis.
