United (a) post-match thread

[Sleeping_Easy]

There's no doubting the ability of these players but mentally I think they must all be shattered. The cup games is all that seems to be getting performances out of them at the minute.

If the city of last year would play the city of this year they'd hammer this bunch.

A lap of honour I heard after beating us. Strange.

Not forgetting Fernandes went over to Pep and put his finger to his lips to tell him to shut up , class. Hope Fernandes enjoys his europa game in the backwaters of Austria next week , and his fight for 4th place in the league , we will concentrate on Real Madrid and enjoy champs league qualification at Easter.
Would be nice if we drew the Rags in the FA Cup semi-final again , we know what happens in derby games when there is silverware at stake........we win.

The morning after the night before, and that was dire, too many sloppy passes, too slow and in decisive, players off their game, if we were still playing now we wouldn't of scored, can't believe that red shite have beat us 3 times this season.

 

[Dirty Harry]

Possibly the players and maybe Pep saw this game differently to the supporters.
Just wondering if Pep could let us know which games he is up for so that the loyal City supporters can decide if they can be bothered as well.

And save some of them their hard earned income at the same time.

 

[Asa's left peg]

Is it safe to come out now?

I think pep is addicted to loosing - he's just not very good at it.

 

[Mark - TheBlue]

Another frustration with yesterday was the attitude of our players, United were playing a derby game and we were acting like it was Derby County.

Some players need to wake up big time Newcastle may not have our talent on the pitch but they will have intensity.

Pep should have been made to watch it

 

[Jocks Y-Fronts]

Was almost speechless after that. The keepers mistakes are bad enough but the lack of effort and basics from some players is the big concern.

Zincs is nowhere near good enough - either at full back or midfield - Sterlings form is depressing, the constant passing sideways and backwards is boring and non productive and generally we are in a bad way. Watch the number of times we are 20m from goal, centre field, and pass 25m to the wings. Allowes the opposition defence the time to get 10 men behind the ball.

Whoever KDB's long term replacement will be needs to be identified now and blended into the team. Without him we have almost no forward momentum and don't create any chances.

From what Cancelo has given us this year it’s hard not to see it as 60 million thrown away, not a pop at him more at those who signed him. He clearly isn’t good enough in Peps eyes

The thread needed hours to get bigger than the thread about the game in Madrid.

Tells you a lot about the power of negativity that reigns on such forums.

This team can still win a treble this season but the moaners are in their element because a game that was less significant than SW in the FA Cup was lost against a team that has won fuck all recently and is 5th.

 

[Jocks Y-Fronts]

And another thing Pep. Stop saying we played good. We didn't

 

[Manc Born & Bred]

Is it true they performed a lap of honour. I fucked off at the final whistle as I had visions of being kept in whilst they played stupid nursery rhymes again.

Why mentally are they shattered?

Is two winning seasons all a professional footballer can cope with??

 

[City Man]

Ederson was brilliant early season, but has also not played much the last few weeks due to cup games.

Must be difficult for a keeper when rested to get back into the swing of it.

Actually not rested but dropped like a number of other keepers in cup games. It's interesting how clubs got to this point. It started when clubs began playing second string players against lower level opposition including reserve keepers then they progressed round by round but as they were winning they decide they couldn't in all conscience drop the reserve keeper who suddenly finds himself in a cup final. Just one of the reasons why keepers are a breed apart I suppose because it wouldn't be the norm with an outfield player.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

And the good news this fine Monday morning is that it wasn't 6-1! I'm feeling a lot better now - and plenty of action to let yesterday's game drift into the meaningless mists of gone forever time - Tuesday the kids at the Academy, Wednesday Our Tater's return, Saturday BFS and his men ready to put the football into orbit, and then Real minus Ramos. Just hope Pep has the shit sorted.

Was thinking the same myself, wondering if I should bother dragging myself out on Wednesday?

Mentions it on the first couple of paragraphs.
Can't stop laughing.

Nothing to do with moaning, it's been a difficult season and in league terms very disappointing.

A derby is still a big game at least for the fans, yesterday our team looked disinterested and unmotivated our manager included.

To me that is unacceptable.

Think your definition of loyal is questionable.

 

[paulchapo]

Seems to me we are only interested in the cups.

We seem to beat ourselves more than teams beat us.

Yes I have no problem with not prioritising the league, just secure top four in case we beat the ban. There are two games left that the fans wanted to win in the the league. One was yesterday and the other is Liverpool. Yesterday we failed miserably.
