Funny how that now tent peg has got the scum in good form, there's no protests or riots or Norwich scarfs on show, and now we're not winning every game 5 nil, there's no mention of human rights or FFP or "we can't compete with city's spending" posts on twatter.....strange that

You know what having just watched the Brighton and Liverpool game and people are saying that city and Liverpool are both going through big problems which is correct in certain aspects but Liverpool are miles off the pace and could well struggle to get top 4 whereas City are struggling but are still second in the title race and amazingly are the bookies favourites ti still win the bloody thing . We have set massive expectations on the club and players that we demand perfection week in week out and when we draw or lose it’s like a bomb as dropped and I’m as guilty as anyone by being a doom merchant when we underperform . 4 titles in 5 seasons is almost unheard of and I would imagine that raising up again to win another title when you have medals all over the house is Sometimes abit too much . Renrnber the old Marvin haggler saying that getting up to train every morning when you have silk pjs on isn’t the sane as when your hungry for that first title. When we got haaland we knew it was gonna take time but we cracked it within a few weeks but suddenly for whatever reason it’s as if we are scared to lob the ball over to him .Uniteds best team and coach in years have managed with a lot of luck from the officials to just beat a city team out of sorts ti claim blagging rights for a couple of weeks but we will see come may who is where . If anyone is still fed up then I suggest they watch the Brighton - Liverpool game to see that things are not so bad .

Do you want me to post all of their records against United?

One of the most infuriating things about 10+ years of success is we are hitting the nostalgia era where players from the past were always better.

Didn’t think we were only referring to Utd games but I can think of a few where they were difference makers in them games. VK header 2012, Yaya semi final, Sane comes on 0-0 at swamp scores and assists we win 2-0. Not that rose tinted mate.

Sat back after the goal instead of going in for the kill. One shot on target all game. Fell apart after a disgraceful decision went against us. Rodri great the rest below par….. I said it weeks ago we are fighting for top 4 now not the title. No doubt the happy clappers with abuse me.

What you're saying is the stark truth, pal.

So are we in agreement finally ,that football in the uk at the highest level is corrupt ? cos i can live with the loss if today is a turning point with the fans finally seeing how football is manipulated in this country, and perhaps something happening about it. My fear is that nothing will happen though .

You're right.
Fuck all will be done and it will be swept under the carpet.
Had it been the Dippers, there would be a petition, a loop on Sly Sports and local MPs demanding a public enquiry.

Top and tail is we aren't creating enough chances to win games.

Or keeping clean sheets

 

[Paulmcfc2703]

Those the only chances they had to the gift! Come on you not going to go to any away game and give zero chances you reduce the chances when you have 70%+ possession! We play quicker hit the long ball cross the ball you lose it and the break is on so that half often enough the opposition will get loads of clear cut on the break chances!

We had a great half dozen years but I feel we are in a transition with the way we playing let’s wait to see if pep sorts it hey? Don’t you think he deserves that?

You also don't win many games if you rarely hit the target. In 4 of the last 5 games we have barely worked the keeper. United created the better chances today.

You said we controlled the game. The reality is we play keep ball without threatening at all most of the time.

Yes Pep deserves time to correct it but that doesn't mean we can't call a spade a spade.

 

[Roachy]

Or keeping clean sheets

Yes, I'll have that. Defence need to sharpen up as well.

 

[theres only one carlito]

They are average you will get no argument from me about that. They also got a joke decision, and the ref was clearly on their side. I just don't agree with you that we dominated them. How can you dominate a team and have just one effort on target in the best part of 100 mins. If domination is keeping possession miles from the opposition goal and creating next to fuck all then I'd agree.

It was like watching a film,

I like films with an element of realism.
Something tangibly believable.

I don’t like films with over exaggerated stunts and complete horse shit scenes. An example, True Lies! Where Arny jumps onto the top of a harrrier jumpjet from a tall building.

Completely over the top, I just laugh.

That’s how I see today. A complete scripted fantasy that can only be conjured up in the mind of a creator.

Dominance is what we do. We keep the ball to defend. Keeping the ball means the oppo doesn’t have it and therefore the chance to create. United created nothing, they sat deep with an idea to go long. No pressing, no possession, nothing.

Their first goal was a true lies scene. Absolute fantasy of a scene that can only be scripted.

I’m content with that. You can’t change what has already been decided.

You can only laugh.

 

[yeah whatever !!]

We are objectively worse than last season and i'll give you a second to figure out the only significant change between last season and this one.

last season after 18 games GD+35 points 44

this season after 18 games GD+28 points 39

Take the world cup break into the equation we are pretty close to last season, also the loss of two proven goal scorers in Jesus and Sterling...

the scum have a goal difference of +7 which is 21 less than us and are 1 point behind us in 3rd place.
City goals scored are fine.. its the fuckers we are conceding that costing us and that's not down to Haaland.

ps sorry for my blunt comment earlier was pretty fucked off.
