United (A) Post Match Thread

Quote 'The cheating twat went down in instalments like Willem Dafoe in Platoon. There was minimal contact and he writhed around as if he'd taken a bullet in his guts. Not a shining example of a role model for all the kids he's helped save from going hungry'.
Maybe the writhing around was hunger pangs and he was after the ref's sympathy vote................. the cheating rag twat.

Our strength as always been scoring lots of goals, that is what as brought success this last decade.
Until we sort this shit out in front of goal we can't expect to win league.
To get a cup we will probably have to play for penalties every round, but saying that we would probably only convert 1 out 5, Kev's...just

But you don't know what my views are. However, posters asking Pep to be sacked in the morning ' cos it was a boring 0-0 draw away in a derby in Dec. Form guide usually goes out of the winow in derby matches. Seems all a bit entitled raginess to me.

So now it’s ‘raginess’ and they’re not actually ‘rags and dippers’. Good to know the board isn’t infiltrated then.

we lost to spurs, drew with Liverpool at home and Utd away. All competing for top 4 spot
Hardly inspiring results to give us any confidence.
Top 4 will be a battle because we're not good enough to beat any of these teams plus Chelsea at the moment.

Going back further to the start of last season, it doesn’t make pleasant reading against the so called top 6. We have won 6 out of 17 games (35%) in all comps and 3 of those six were against Arsenal!

in the previous 2 seasons we won 17/22 (77%)

Unless that changes then titles are a pipe dream.

Add Leicester to that and its four games, three goals, two points against half decent sides this season

One sub and no minutes for Foden. Pep didn't want to win that game. Settling for a draw was cowardly. I really wish pep would just leave and we could get someone new in to freshen it up. He'll want to see out his contract though and there's no chance of him being sacked, he's untouchable. 2 years of turgid football ahead.

True but the one thing that is consistent about Mahrez is that he'll go missing in a big game

Bernardo has been missing for over a year.

I can only imagine the comments aimed at Mahrez if he performed as Bernardo had done.

We are a work in progress. Forget the past and the hype for a min. Last season the defence was below standard. Purchasing Dias/Ake was fantastic business.

Midfield is struggling with creating anything decent this season. Slow laboured transition. Each player in the team is taking an extra touch on the ball with no movement in front so we recycle continuously from side to side before hitting the long diagonal from the Fb or Fern.

Once yesterday Kev played it quick through the line into sterling and he fell over. That passage of play is depressing for many reasons.

Where does Pep have to take some flak? He is not asking them to play crap.
He is not asking them to hold onto the ball with transition slow.
He is not asking them to not shoot on goal.

The issue I have with Pep is the team selection. We have all had enough of FFS. He needs to play Foden, Torres and Bernardo in the correct positions. Sterling needs dropped as his attitude stinks IMO.

Anyway the problem is with the players. We know who needs to be sold. The sooner the club realises this and either promotes youth or buys again we are stuck in this situation each week. We have been through worse and need to endure this period.

6 games without conceding a goal
Nothing said by the media !
If it was Jose they would be saying it’s a master class

By the time we play our last 16 match/Liverpool at klanfield

I wouldn’t back against us being top?

Remember where u heard it first

Pep has learnt from his mistakes

It’s not us that play negative , it’s every one else
It’s just that pep has realised not to go gun ho and get caught on the break any more

Coming to the boil nicely

More than one way to win a league

And pep will prove it again

Istanbul hear we come!

 

[eastmanc]

We used to, we don't any more.

I don’t know what has happend to that attitude. We look toothless and timid at the moment.
