United (a) post-match thread

  • Thread starter Thread starter Ric
  • Start date Start date
Now the dust has settled , i am little confused admitedly not difficult at my age , but in previous years i would be raging about a derby defeat and such an inept first 45 minutes and would have a few drops of the amber nectar. But i don't really give a f*ck at the moment , we lost a derby that meant nothing but bragging rights until the next time , its annoying that Rags will attempt to rub it in , but we will always have the last laugh.
We will win at least two trophies , the Rags will win f*ck all , we play Real Madrid soon , the Rags play some unknown Austrians in Lederhosen , they will still have OGS as manager , we will have Pep , the ban will be overruled and the Rags will finish 5th and miss out on the Champs league
Let them celebrate their cup final , shame there are no medals or a trophy for beating Manchester City , they would have three medals this season but none will be mentioned in the honours list at the end of the season.
They are not a threat to us , maybe if they do spend another £500m and become a competitor i will recover the hatred i have felt for them for 40 years , until then UEFA are getting my angst.

I thought Raheem wasn't poor, just average today. Would you say we were poor if our dominance was topped off by clinical finishes instead of our poor finishing - two split seconds in a game ?

Mate, Raz was struggling to even control the ball at times. His first touch was poor, he missed the one chance we had and he couldn’t beat his man all game. He was awful AGAIN.

A bit of luck and opposition being poor has got a few things to do with that. We are no where near the performances we are used to seeing week in week out, that we have witnessed the last 2 seasons. Miles away in fact.

True. But injuries have played a part. We’ve certainly not turned into a poor team just because we’ve not won the PL for the third consecutive year

we’ve not been very good at executing it though, I’ve found a lot of our games boring this season, partly because many teams park the bus and partly we aren’t very good at picking them apart this year

Balls out effort in the CL this season. Next year, some new legs in critical positions. Even megabucks teams - MU a case in point - park the bus against us. To be honest, if I supported one of these other megabucks teams, I would be embarrassed and not best pleased if the team parked the bus against another Prem outfit. Parking the bus is what the lesser teams do - not a club that spends £90m plus on individual players.

Rags won't give a fuck if they manage to scrape into top 4 place.

Some of the posts read on this thread are hilarious. Say what u want about the players. But the manager effed up. I saw starting line up and knew we would be beaten.

United are a defensive team, they play counter attack with pace. So why play slow full backs.

Walker should have started over zinchenko.
Gundo was a Def no no. Overall manager got it wrong 100% and is at fault for team selection.

Good point.
 
This team gave up way too early. They saw how strong Liverpool are and they gave up long before Christmas.

Sheffield were beaten 7x times this season same as us, and we say its injuries to blame? We have 1 billion pounds more valuable squad than Sheffield and they have not been in PL since years.
Apart from the Liverpool loss we were beaten by worse teams 6x times in PL.

Thing is if Pep is rewatching the 7 losses he would see a pattern in our play and our weaknesses and not sure he is doing enough to stop opponents punishing us trough those weaknesses.

By his own standards in recent years, this was nowhere near his best. But not shite either. He's had a rough spell.

No, they won't give a fuck if they get in the top four. But during games, their fans don't care much for the long balls - unless it's us or Liverpool they're playing. Maureen was slagged off by their fans for playing long balls and counter attacking football. Has OGS really improved Manure ? They slipped to lower mid-table and are improving from that low point to a place in the Prem that would still result in any other coach getting sacked.

I think this game was all about the first goal, we were the better side but they did have a few chances on the break that should have been dealt with. None were gilt edged chances though. Ederson's mistake knocked the stuffing out of us, it was a shot that should never have gone in, after a freekick that should never have been given. From there we struggled to control the game, struggled to create chances because we were too afraid of conceding a second.

There was a spell towards the end of the second half, where they were on the ropes but our passing was frustratingly wasteful(all of the midfield were at, it not just Rodi), nothing balls that gave the runners no chance and gave United the breathers they were seeking, by giving them throw-ins or goalkicks.

What they'll hide behind is that they should have had a penalty, it could have been given but it would have been a soft one. Not getting that, merely cancelled out the freekick from a dive that they scored from.

Then we have a case of the United players trying to make the ref's mind up, when he hadn't blown his whistle. Nor should he have, by the current offside rules, with VAR in place. Did I miss something or did we not get a close up showing which part of Aguero was deemed offside? Was the feed we saw on Sky, the actual VAR check in real time or was that just sky looking for one for the viewers? Because they didn't find one on the sky feed and the goal was still ruled out.

If anyone is trying to make out that going level in that game, after going behind, would not have made a difference, they're having a laugh.

A friend of mine is a high level ref - albeit not the four top divisions. They meet up with Prem refs at forums etc. The VAR images in the caravan are much higher definition than what Sky show.

That set the precedent and aside from a few decent performances we have been pretty poor on the whole in the league. We are second at the minute because everyone else aside from Liverpool are rebuilding and/or in disarray.

I couldn't agree more. For the most part, we have struggled to dominate like we have all become accustomed to. Things need changing, I'm not quite sure what....that's not my job. I used to thrill at the sight of City building an attack, now I feel as if our attack is muted, dare I say, boring. Change is required.
That being said, they wanted it more today and that's a fucking shame.
