United (a) post-match thread

[@BluePhil8]

Was we not allowed to play well today because of them other games?

Are you people actually feckin serious?? Lmao. Would you have rather won this game instead of the previous 3??

Pep Guardiola: “We played good. We conceded a goal and should have avoided it, but in the second half we played good as well. So congratulations to Manchester United. The quality of the opponent always count. We played good.

Very Very tired of reading the same old same old from Pep.. How about we played awful and some truth.

 

[mosssideblue]

We have to. It's that simple.

1x LB starter - 50m
1x LB back up - 20m
2x CB starters - 70m each.
1x Sane replacement - 125m
1x Fern replacement - 100m
1x RB starter/squad place - 40m
1x GK squad - 15m
2x STRIKERS - 80-100M Each
3rd striker if Serg or Jesus leave - 50-70m

Raheem to leave if his head doesn't come back - 120m
Sane - 60m (that's all we will get)
Mendy - 25m
Ota - 10m
Stones - 15m
Bravo - free
Rodri - 30m


A net spend of around 5-600m.

If not, next season will be much like this one.
As per 2013, as per 2014/15.

I appreciate you (and all of us) are hurting, but get real

Well played Eddy you prick1

Can someone explain why Aguero's goal wasn't allowed? It seemed to me that they started drawing their lines then gave up halfway through... and it can't be because De Gea stopped because players have been told not to do so unless the referee blows his whistle which he didn't until after the ball went in.

I missed the first 7 minutes of the 2nd half,i didn't even know we had been varred

Also noticed the Aguero offside used the official VAR 2 line approach whereas the Martial one Sky just drew a line, the same as when we played the Dippers.

 

[ChicagoBlue]

Yeah that's a bonus ..mind you he needs to play more in the middle

That inside right position is his for the taking, but I think KDB might have something to say about that! It is that inside left position, that David Silva has made his own for a decade that we have to be concerned about. I’m not sure Bernardo or Phil are best suited to that position.

Are you actually dumb or are you putting it on? Given a choice today is the one game I’d have said to lose yes, it wasn’t and isn’t a choice though. We didn’t go out and play shit because we won them games did we?

not one player on the pitch took responsibility to drive the team forward. Kun unlucky with the offside it was a class finish.

This is where Sterling has been a compete let down this season. The only game I’ve ever seen him take by the scruff of the neck to drive us on to win was Atalanta at home. The rest of the time he’s either just a fringe player who finishes off good moves or he’s atrocious. You never watch him and think “wow, what a player”.

How he stayed on that pitch today is baffling. All he did all game was two scuffed (as usual) back passes to de Gea and tripped over thin air when Mahrez crossed it in. His contribution other than that was nil.

Bernardo’s had a much poorer season than last year but at least he was good all through December and January.

I’m just completely deflated with Sterling now. Been saying it since that run of games early in the season against Norwich and Everton, I thought it was just poor form but he’s getting worse.

John Stones get crucified from our support yet Sterling gets away with it and gets offered new contracts.

 

[@BluePhil8]

pack it in or i'll give you both a dig.

Emotions are high, we all love city but let's be honest, we've won 3 cup finals in a row, United have won their cup final.

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Well played Eddy you prick1


Fuck Sterling off asap

Lol

 

[HarrytheBlue]

Thought utd were totally crap but they had shots where we controlled the game without ever looking like scoring and that has been the story of Pep vs utd all season, next season Pep understand the fans care even if you do not

Pep cares enough to pick up two trophies, four trophies the next season and two already this season. If we had the best eleven in every position anywhere in the world, we would still lose a few derbies. But, in our weakend set up, we're still a significantly better team than Utd. We will improve next year.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

That has to go down as one of the most passive and toothless derby performances in recent years.

Seemingly, we were more concerned about our passing stats than getting anything from the game.

 

[paulchapo]

When did Ederson turn into the Bravo of old? I wonder if resting him for two matches had him rusty.

This season we have lost three world class players out of last season's side. Merlin, as age has caught up with him and Bernardo and Sterling who have been bang average and at times less than that.

Seeing those rags and Ferguson celebrating gave me flashbacks of the bad old days. That old bastard is definitely back pulling the strings behind the scenes, no way has the paper boy suddenly turned into a tactical genius.

Why can't they get a better camera angle for VAR?
It's a fucking mess!

Pretty sure De Gea was the reason though. The VAR wallahs do what the fcuk they like.

 

[jim tolmies perm]

Anyone who doesn't think we need a lethal striker has his head in the sand
Ignoring Haarland for 20m is plain daft
The next Lewandowski

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

we absolutely battered them in the 2nd half and they defended for their lives , we gifted them two goals and that won them the game , the media will be in a Rags ?/OGS frenzy for the next few weeks , its all bullshit , if we play our strongest team in a game we have to win like an FA Cup semi-final we will wipe the floor with them. Its frustrating a clown of a manager and a few workhorses can get the better of us , Pep needs to take games agaisnt the Rags seriously , Barca wouldnt play half a team against Real so why did he do it in a City/Rag game.

Who cares pal? Let them celebrate, they have won fuck all, we have already won a cup. They are licking our boots, let them.

 

[Sky Blue]

Not convinced by that Aguero offside at all. Nothing said on Sky after ?
