United (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

Yesterday felt eerily similar to the 3-0 at Old Trafford in 2014 when they had Moyes at the helm. A superior side just calmly swatting the other one away. Early(ish) goals in both halves, one at the end just for fun. I was almost disturbed by how easy that second half was. Think the Amrabat/Mount substitution killed them. First half was more what I expected - City playing the better football but United hanging on and occasionally creating dangerous chances.

But the Amrabat booking changed Ten Hag's thinking and it meant they started the second half with no defensive midfielders. As soon as the second goal went in their heads dropped and apart from Rashford getting onto that long ball they created nothing.

Full disclosure, my dad's a United fan. But he really is a brilliant United fan and very neutral when it comes to City because of me and my mum. He cheered us on all the way during the Champions League run and was actually up off the sofa when Rodri scored against Inter. He shook my hand and said "Well done" when I'd finally calmed down after the final whistle in Istanbul. So I'm never gonna gloat about derby wins in front of him, especially not on a day like yesterday.

But even on the inside, after Foden's goal I was just laughing at how pathetic it's got for United. They're still a mostly good team but it's obvious that they've now passed the point where they can just turn it around and start winning trophies again because they happen to have the right guy in the dugout who magically transforms everything. It'll be another decade or more before they win a league title. The rot has well and truly set in and I don't really see a way back until that Jim Ratcliffe guy has more control over the club.

I was really nervous before the game given that we haven't really got going yet this season. But apart from the first 10/15 minutes when we were very sloppy, there was a chasm between the sides. Obviously we were fantastic all over the park but they were are dogshit. Did Mason Mount even touch the ball after coming on at half-time?

No such thing as a brilliant Scum fan.
 
Also we were imperious but united defending for the second was absolutely comically shit. It’s like they were sprinting away from haaland on purpose, what the fuck was their idea?

They are 100% not “mostly a good team”. They have a few, and I mean a few, half-decent players. But as a team they are a dysfunctional rabble who are lazy as fuck and have bad attitudes
