United (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

[5 Hit Gibbon]

That was shite. I can't think of many positives, we didn't get beat and good save from Ederson maybe.

Apart from the long range shot, did we have another effort on target?

 

[phargrave]

Worst game of football I think I've ever seen

Two poor teams

We have zero creativity, energy or threat

Roll on next season, just get in the CL please

Wouldn’t bank on that

 

[schfc6]

Some truly bizarre decisions from Pep. De Bruyne was like playing with 10 men. Inexcusable the he did 90 minutes.
His subs were terrible.

 

[Benarbia’s Backheel]

at what point will the happy clappers let people question Pep? Asking for a friend

 

[inchy14]

All smiles and handshakes pre-game
All pats on the back and helping each other up off the floor during the game.
All smiles and handshakes post-game.

Bernardo laughing with Casemiro whilst Foden was injured pissed me right off.

If you think he’s good enough you’re going to be massively disappointed.

He's the 2025 saint Maximan

 

[OldhamBlue94]

Worst derby I’ve ever seen. Good job they’re woeful or we could have lost that by a cricket score

 

[Sky Blue]

I normally back Doku but it was like bringing on an extra man for the red shite.

 

[Metal Biker]

Wrong tactics, wrong line-up, wasted opportunity.

Advantage Chelsea.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Anyone know when the full match replay will be on the website?

 

[cityblue123]

Didnt look like we wanted it. Lot of passengers out there today. Very disappointed we didn't have a go at em. I'd have started the 2 wingers but hey ho.

 

[Paleblue2]

Worst derby I've ever seen, They were bobbins, we matched them.

 

[DMA's]

People work hard, people have shit going on in their lives and they use football as an escape.

That was simply not good enough. No passion, no fight. They couldn’t give a flying fuck. Only have to see the scenes at full time.

 

[citeh94]

Absolutely dim dull derby. If anything the rags were better. Shocking result, really bad one for us and our top 5 hopes.

 

[dickie davies]

I said in the pre match thread, the only way we would score would be a twenty yard shot, and we hardly had any of those
In recent years, our lack of physical presence has been more than made up for in technical ability (think Mahrez, Gundogan, Bernardo)
Without Haaland and Rodri, we have no physical presence and the remaining technical players, have lost their ability

 

[Goaters]

That was truly a drab affair. Our philosophy until the end of the season is clearly try and be as risk averse as possible, no transitions, grind out results.

I think Peps stubbornness is costing us hugely now.

If you’re telling me Nico, Savinho or Mcatee wouldn’t have added some urgency then I’ll be amazed.

Pep is treating it like this is the only way to play atm, United are shite and I just hope we have a change in style next season.

I remember during the glory days when we won 6-1 and had about 8 players attacking none stop.

 

[dubblue]

Looking at top 5 it really is a shocking result,let Chelsea off the hook and Newcastle have two games in hand,one away at Leicester tomorrow. Awful from Pep this season.

 

[christened at st marks]

Fuck pep is destroying Kev, he is so past it I don't want to see this much sooner remember him for his greatness

 

[burning blue soul]

I'm trying not to be too emotional as the game has just ended. But, that performance has left a bad taste in my mouth.
I didn't think I would ever feel that way about a City Pep team, but there we are.
We played like the team at the wrong end of the table. So much wrong today that I really don't know where to start.
I'll leave the in-depth rants for other posters.

 

[Chak19]

The only positive is the Dias-Gvardiol partnership which looks rock solid, if only we had true fullbacks we'd have some defence, apart from that, this was one of the worst games I've seen in my life in any top league, made the Derby at the Etihad look like the France-Argentina World Cup final.
