United (a) post-match thread

[GaudinoMotors]

Apart from KDB, possibly Bernardo, there's no bottle or leadership.

 

[simon23]

Slow, ponderous and predictable

We cannot play gundogan in midfield next to Rodri because it offers nothing

sideways,sideways,backwards....then lose possession

Shocking all season

spot on......

as soon as i saw that I knew what would happen....maybe Pep was forced into it with the injury to KDB but still its so obvious and makes us so slow and ponderous.

If i was in charge Gundogan would be first out the door being sold and Ive held that view for 12 months now at least - not good enough for the system and pace with which we need to play at

 

[beano46]

Speaking of moving on off you pop, stop talking shit.

Yeah off I pop mate, I'll leave you to your happy clapping.

 

[levets]

that performance is not a surprise

a midfield of Gundogan and Rodri give us that.

We havent replaced Kompany and have felt like we are treading water all season......there are a few players who dont have the intensity to be playing in derbies/big games:

Cancello
Mahrez
Gundogan
Rodri
Mendy - as just shown by that shit from him backing out of the challenge with Mctomminay leading to the second goal...not a great throw by Ederson but he shuold have still challenged and he didnt



There is a major rebuild needed and Ive been saying it all season - people thinking that Foden is going to replace David Silva seemlessly are also deluded (and that is not a slight on Foden as you are talking about replacing one of the very few and true world class players who has won nearly everything).

we need a minimum of 2 cetnre halves as we cannot keep playing Dihno there (not that he has been bad)

Im starting to doubt Rodri after he initally impressed me

Mendy - as just shown by that shit from him backing out of the challenge with Mctomminay leading to the second goal...not a great throw by Ederson but he shuold have still challenged and he didnt
———-
Mendy was nowhere near it. Ederson sloppy today, but he wasn’t alone, however his two fuck ups cost that game

 

[HarrytheBlue]

That was w@nk. I'm off to bed.

I stayed up to watch that shower of sh*te. I've been awake for nearly 29 hours having flown into Heathrow at 0645 this morning, and no kip on the plane. Hopefully I'll wake up and this will all be a bad dream.

Below our best, yes. Manure struggled to break down our weakened defence, yes. But the game changed on a bit of blatant cheating.

 

[Kazzydeyna]

72% of awful possession. Problem is the match meant very little to our players but it could mean United get in CL next season and that just helps them out. On a positive note helping secure Ole’s position is not all bad.

I wouldn't be too smug about belong the gnome out. If , as looks likely, he gets them into the champs league he'll have had a better season than Pep all things considered.

Really disappointing season this.

It's not (all) on Pep either. Yet again , for the third manager on the bounce, we have let a fast, skillful squad get old and tired.

 

[hgblue]

The Gundogan and Rodri midfield works fine against more attacking teams to break down play. Against teams we need to break down, one needs to be dropped. It’s so obvious to everyone, but pep quite clearly has his favourites who must start nearly every game

100% this.

 

[B\connellblue]

Not for the first time Ederson was terrible. Doesn't save enough. Overrated.

Won' t go down well but that's not a knee jerk reaction.

No buts it as close to the truth as the idea that he's some kind of goalkeeping god.

 

[Gordyola]

Was a shame that Gundogan extended his contract he fucks us up slows it down and should never play with Rodri

 

[BlueAnorak]

Slow ponderous and predictable.
The story of City's season in the league.
The final ball was a complete waste.
Ederson having a stinker didn't help.

 

[creditunionhero]

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

 

[Briggs1969]

nothing to do with the players then ?

I should have been clearer Sterling, should have come off earlier he wasn't at it and hasn't been for a while.

 

[kippaxchris]

Pep?

We weren't so bad. Dominated possession and had zero ambition.

Pep let's it happen

Worrying that we're such a one man team

 

[Delphinho]

What a fucking embarassing performance. Ridiculous that we’re still second in the league

 

[argyle]

Don't give 2 facks, runners up in league just won a trophy,fa cup to come and Madrid to come.Spoilt the lot of you, unbelievable.

I think that's Peps attitude too and part of the problem why we keep losing to them.

 

[decmancity]

What the actual fook is going on with sterling at the moment? Appalling again today. Better off with a training cone on the pitch today. Love him but his mojo has more than just disappeared it’s gone right back up it’s own pimhole at the moment.

We aren't creating any tap ins for him. Fucking useless today and has been for a while.

Sadly we don't really have any other options. Sane potentially but whether Pep will be interested in giving him any time is a whole other question.

 

[WestGorton]

I thought Cancelo was the best player. Mendy plugged the gap. We need a goalkeeper. Ben Foster please.

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Stuff we lack; a captain, a CB, a consistent back 4. We could solve all those with one player and improve immensely

 

[paul1963]

1 MAN TEAM

 

[cucumberman]

Hate to lose derbies but means nowt to an already shambolic season. And Pep will never understand our derby matches judging from how he thinks about football.

If anything other than a derby loss, it’s the chance of keeping the rags 3 points less of a CL spot is what we lose out on today.

Hopefully this PL season has taught us to make less mistakes for the next PL season, and to see solskjaer running that mob for another season is silver lining as well.

Let’s just get to the finishing line with the CL and FACup. The league has been a shambles without Laporte and Sane, and we all know we are likely better in the points table with those two in the lineup.
