If our players could finish 1 of the two golden chances we had tonight we would have had an increibly easy victory. If the chances fall the other way round i reckon we lose that game 2-0.

Jesus would have to stay onside for that to happen
 
Some single out sterling, some say rodri, some say mahrez. The individuals can’t all be bad. Surely it is about the system as a whole and when the system is dependent on two attackers and no one can be trusted to hold alone it falls down. It’s unfair to blame some individuals. Once the issues have been resolved the whole team will then play better.
 
No drive, no pace, no dynamism. Just slow and lacking any kind of ambition. Symptomatic of the last 18 months really. Only 2 positives, we gained a point and a clean sheet again. But that wont be enough to see us competing this season

Fucking hell, I never get annoyed, but this derby has really got me riled, give me horton getting twatted but actually trying to go at them.

Totally fed up


Though might be because straight after me n my felpow berts would all sat in the boozer fucking about, but am sat at home alone with my own council
 
The whole attack is crap but especially sterling, FFS. It is time Foden and Torres got a proper run out.
 
Why are Sky painting a pragmatic draw and clean sheet away in a derby sound like we are imploding.. plus we had the better chances.
 
Our next 3 away games in PL:
Soton, Everton, Chelsea.

play like today and we wont get a win out of this three which would mean early January we are still not even in top 8 and about good 10 points off from top.

I seen some games from Soton and Everton this year, if they raise their game we could be in trouble and Lampard beat Pep last season with a much weaker squad than he has now.

We are very lucky having a near injury free squad currently, Kun is close to come back (before he is out for weeks again, I think he is now like Kompany was, wont ever be ready to play longer periods)

Pep keeps crying about 5 subs, he made 1 sub in last 180 minutes of PL, even when he knows Tuesday another PL game coming up.
 
I’m just surprised Foden is still here after being stood around watching Mahrez and Sterling perform like that and not being able to be played.

Ratboy is a failure as a manager, so not sure if he has the credibility to slag us off the way he is.
We were poor, lacked finishing lethality yet again. We made chances, but as usual, spunked them away.
As for Mahrez, he should not be allowed to put on a shirt again for us unless it’s against a bottom 3 team. Him and Raz were a disgrace.

Savage him kaz, your leaning too much towards zen tonight
 
Rags would have seen our team and wanked them self daft.

weak management. We have lost confidence in our ability . Over thinking and showing far too much respect worrying about the opposition instead of having the opposition worry about us .

same with Lyon, scousers and now this.

subs garbage and ineffective again.

pep is far too close to the managers and owners at the club. Far too safe,

KDB looked totally exasporated many times in the game thinking do I have to do everything myself?

I really worry about him and Foden thinking about whether this is right for them.

we are not improving .

I said it in the match thread and ill say it here...we are nto as good as some people want to believe...we just made an oridanry utd team look half decent...

The balance in midfield isnt right....playing two our of the 3 of Rodri, Ferna and Gundogan isnt working. Is it because Pep doesnt think that one of them on their own can be enough to play the pivot/no. 6 role/defensive midfield role?....Ferna use to be able to do it on his won and still looks like the only one that can...Rodri was shocking again today.

Mahrez (based on Peps comments recently) shouldnt even make the bench in the next few weeks - one decent pass and 44 mins of absolute shit. He is spineless and when against stronger teams he goes missing every single time. Id sell him asap ...sterling as innaffective but at least he keeps giving it a go

Posities as others have mentioned is the back 3 of 4....Stones looks like the player Pep believes he is once again and Dias has been excellent since day one...Walkr never fails to put a shift in ....cancello is ok but he aint a left back (but is the best option at present)....Torres looked to offer something at least a little different


Jesus works hard but in tight games where there is little service we need a forward who can create something on his own....Jesus is never going to be that player...though he has a place in the team if we have another goal scorer on the pitch.

The lack of pace, directness or attacking threat of the front three magnifies the lack of dynamism in the midfield three at the moment. We look ponderous in games like today.

They were shite but their pace still looked dangerous on a few occasions.

Another problem is that our best two full backs are right backs. Cancelo played fairly well tonight but he doesn’t offer natural width or an ability to drive on the outside.

Judging by the scream of agony as Rashford fell to the ground, l thought we were about to witness the first posthumous award of a penalty to United.
Did VAR get the ref to change his mind a couple of seconds after they went toe to toe before the heartbreak ofseeing it was offside? We can only guess nowadays but it all has a whiff of dodginess.

Said the same why did he suddenly give it Wisper in his ear? If it was VAR then that is wrong but it could have been the Lino to give benefit of the doubt

Does anyone still rate Rodri?

One of our biggest flaws IMO. Far from a Fernandinho replacement.

We've got better footballers at centre half and defensively and positionally he's all over the place too. Can't stand watching him play to be honest, ponderous and always a step behind.

Couple that with losing David and our midfield is a mess at the moment.

Rodri wasn't the problem. Sterling and Mahrez both being useless will get you closer to the truth along with Pep not getting them fired up. Ferny and McT were the only 2 players who knew it was a Derby.
