United (A) Post Match Thread

At one stage I thought I saw him moonwalking, he was so immobile no wonder he is still playing running for 3 minutes every 90

There was a moment when Stones looked round thinking where the fuck is he.

The second goal was another level.
It was difficult to see what had actually happened but bloody hell the lack of enthusiasm for a goal in a derby was depressing

Maybe like me & many fans in the ground, we didn't even realise the ball had gone in the net.

We were beaten by Crystal Palace only last week.
Proves nothing.

We had a man sent off, makes the palace game an outlier and for that matter we were still better than them with ten men.

What it does prove is that Chelsea aren't going to run away with the league, as suggested by people on here, I presume you must have been one or you wouldn't have got involved.

3 points behind the runaway leaders.

During his post match interview, Pep explained that as United were playing 3 in midfield, he gave instruction to keep slinging the ball right across the field "Because 3 in the middle cannot stretch side to side". Just a little glimpse there of his insight to the game.

We have now played all pre-season title challengers away from home and taken seven points , and we are now only a couple of points behind Chelski , apart from Torres we have a virtually fully fit squad ,so its looking rather good .Apart from the Laporte brain fart game against Palace and the Spuds game with eight players unavailable our performances have been decent.
The doom and gloom that descended on here after the Palace game appears to have lightened after going to the top of our qualifying group in the Champs league , winning a derby and closing the gap to Chelski.
The way we toyed with the Rags today only emphasised what a complete football team we are, god help the rest of the league if we do sign a world class striker.

Sorry if already posted, but from the caf:

Fine margins, tbh. I don't think anyone could have watched that game and come to the conclusion that we couldn't have turned it around at any point with just a little bit for luck. A loose 50/50 here, a poor pass there, but we dug in, hit them on the counter a few times and looked generally threatening.

Didnt know the bbcs simon stone posted on there.

I hope the train back to London wasn’t to bad today

Meanwhile, in an alternate universe....

I've had an absolutely fucking wank week, shite.
But watching us toy around with them like a cat with a spider has put a smile back on my face, thanks City, Pep & the boys.

I thought Bernie was claiming for a handball or a corner when he was celebrating, and that was on the telly.
