United (A) Post Match Thread

[the-ecstacy-of-eight]

You can tell his approach is so much more professional than almost all other pundits.

He's done his research, he put years of effort into his podcast learning how to interview people and answer questions properly - without rushing, without waffling, without repeating himself. He's put in hard yards going on fan TV, podcasts, taking any gig he can to learn his new trade.

I love Micah, and he is entertaining alongside Sutton, Chapman and Rory Smith on radio or Keane on TV, but you can tell he often starts speaking before knowing what his answer to a question is, and he waffles and changes direction in a way that's very difficult to listen to.

Nedum's got the potential to be a serious broadcaster, not just a TV personality.

From what I've been told about Nedum from people who either went to school with him or who knew him through school sports events, he's a very clever young man. As you say, he puts time and effort in, before the cameras roll.

That's the main difference between his and Micah's approach to presenting; Micah looks like he just turns up and wings it, and to be a little blunt, it shows.

Doesn’t press much does he.

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

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Penny for Sancho’s thoughts

He strikes me as the kind of character that probably doesn't give a shit. That may change as he matures.

Too much too soon?

 

[asahartford1]

Touchel, Guardiola or Klopp would have them pushing 3rd easily, probably 2nd.

Those managers wouldn't make THAT team successful.
But they would get rid of the trash in it and make the others run.

 

[goalmole]

i love watching this fat fucks pain

Might as well be Celtic.

 

[remember arthur mann]

How can I explain to the thick cockney rags ( inclusive of rag journo's) how easy that was, Oh yes.........

 

[andyhinch]

"Worse than the Liverpool game, they toyed around with us, this was a training session today"...




Our fantastic support supplied the soundtrack to their misery!

Getting people leaving at half time at Maine Road ? Before your time sunshine.

My thoughts about him.

Penny for Sancho’s thoughts

He looks like somebody that could give you 7p if you took them all,

 

[Dribble]

There was no threat to our domination. The worst thing they could have done was score. We'd have promptly moved out of 2nd gear and run up a score. They knew what they were facing.

Agreed, but our inability to turn our domimant possession into goals in tight games has cost us so far this season, & will continue to do so imo, until we resolve the striker situation.

If we had a killer goal poacher today, we'd have scored 5 or 6. Yes we've got goals in our squad, but they're supplementary goals. Just imagine if we had that world class 40 goals a season striker available? )(

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

 

[Dribble]

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.

 

[bluealf]

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.

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

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.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

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

Meanwhile, in an alternate universe....

 

[Inter Me Nan]

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.

 

[Barcon]

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