United (A) Post Match Thread

The way I look at it is when Pep got here we had 5 maybe 6 players who could have walked in his Barca side (Vinny, Silva, Ferni, Yaya, KDB and possible Kun) now we have one that could make that walk and even he's not really in form, the rest would be playing in the reserves.

The players believe they're better than they are and we've never replaced the pure talent we had.

Spot on mate. Our two most creative players were on the bench. I still love Pep but It’s really strange what goes on in Peps thinking sometimes We’re looking more and more like a mourinho team which is more pragmatic.

I've always said that if we are within five points going into the new year then I'd take that, and our ability to keep a clean sheet is a plus, Dias and Stones are building a partnership, but...bloody hell that was shit on a stick stuff.
 
One of the worst derbies I've ever seen, zero intent to try and win the game.

However, I think that was entirely by design, we cut off Uniteds threat and didn't play into the trap that they had set up.

Too many times we've sat here and gone "we never learn and we leave our CBs exposed" but today we played a system that protected the back four and gave us some control.

I think we'll line up very similar in the Champions League.

It was fucking embarrassing. The delayed reaction and then the fall that came should’ve resulted in a booking but it’s St Marcus so everything is good.

Yes, it's a clean sheet. And yes; it's a point more there than we managed last season. But that compared to the non performance in Madrid under Pellegrini, and the no show against Lyon in the summer. The three points were there for the taking; utd are really not that good a side. Precious little courage or conviction on show out there tonight.

they are a better side than they were last season when they beat us three times on the counter. And since then we have lost Silva and had no Aguero. So why wouldn't you play more conservatively?
