United (a) post-match thread

[Manchester_lalala]

Also Sterling’s form has dropped to the point where I’m questioning if he’s good enough anymore.

Im starting to think this to. When we were at our best, Sterling was just a part of the machine. Sane and sterling both running on to passes from either kev or silva for them to slide in a pass in to each other for a tap in.

 

[Phil1]

If I didn't know any better I'd have said we threw that game.
I'm sure the manager had his reasons to pick the side he did but it was wrong all over the pitch.
Really disappointed in Pep and even more so in the players. Nowhere near the commitment and effort needed to win a league game, never mind the Derby.
Sterling back to his woeful form after a great cameo in Madrid, a back four that looked like they had just been introduced to each other 10 mins before kick off, a midfield that for some reason didn't attack well or defend well, they were kind of just there wondering about a bit lost, a front line that was as toothless as I've seen before and special mention to Eddie who was a special kind of shite,
All in all a bad day and for someone who always tries to be positive after a poor result and defends the team and manager to the hilt, they can fuck off if they think that's acceptable.

Utd defend well but they haven't got much going forward. They didn't cause our defence many problems given we were chasing the game for an hour.

Like i said both teams played to their strengths - they are getting better and we have stood still/gone backwards. They also held out quite easily for over an hour and we created very litle in terms of real open chances.

 

[Bob Hope]

I'm shit faced but I love City because I'm pislled

 

[SleepingBlueTiger]

We just don't look threatening in attack at this time. Been a problem for a couple months tbh.

We desperately need a winger or two in the summer. As soon as one goes off form we have no replacements.

 

[BertTrautmann'sParachute]

An absolute fucking shit-show from everyone.

 

[levets]

In order of shiteness today:

Zinchenko, Sterling, Gundogan, Otamendi.

Ederson at the front of that list

 

[Paul1970]

Game didnt matter. chill

It was a derby and it should matter

 

[Bentheblue]

Fabianski got accused of corruption when he makes a mistake.

Ederson is world class but all goalies will cock up time to time.

Three cock ups in one game, including an assist for their second, is definitely not world class.

 

[nellyonthewing]

A bang average United team have beaten us 3 times this season.
Let that sink in!

Its an embarrassment. The first thing on a City Managers Job Description is Do Not Lose To United. Pep has singularly failed at that. For me he will never be our greatest Manager with that stain on his record even if he did win the Chumps Lge.

 

[@BluePhil8]

Sterling and Kun, shite.

We've won our 3 cup finals in a row. They've won their's.

 

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

Utd defend well but they haven't got much going forward. They didn't cause our defence many problems given we were chasing the game for an hour.

Ederson caused our defence more problems today

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

If Pep thinks he can wing it at Newcastle in the Cup with some of our lighter weights, it will be a carbon copy of this again.

You can't put all your eggs in one basket like we seem to be doing. Performances on the field build momentum.

Arsenal will be a morgue on Weds.

 

[Gordyola]

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.

It’s been awhile that this fixture was our season we now have bigger considerations

 

[TFC]

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

The game changed on yet more embarrassing defending and shit goalkeeping. Whether or not it was a free kick or not is immaterial afaiac.

Bonnet-de-douche.

bonnet-de-fucking-douche.

 

[Newman Noggs]

Anyone else think our real problem is in midfield ? When the rags defended they had 8 men in defence. When they attacked they had 7 men swarming forward at pace. Our midfield are static neither supporting the attack nor protecting the defence.

On the rare occasion they pass forward, they don't move to receive the return, just stand where they passed it from and then get it back and work it even further backwards. I'd love to know what percentage of our possession is in the back four. More and more the back 4 are being relied on to be the playmakers which results in them losing it and being exposed.

In our title winning years loads of goals came from midfield when the attack was struggling. Now they barely look as though they've got a goal in them.

 

[Grassland Blue]

Not a good game. United Fans on fire right now.

Well they are plastic...

 

[NanaToure42]

Sterling needs to be sold.

Whoooaaa I know that was an extremely disappointing result and he hasn't looked the same last few months, but I'm not ready to ship him off yet. Unless Real Madrid want to pay 125+ or something ridiculous.
