I hope that £175M Clause is still on for Haaland in 2 years, much better team without him.

Just like this site would be better without your utter shite posts. Just sayin.

We need about 5 class players and about the same moving out.

We have seriously declined from 2 seasons ago.

Putting aside the fact that we were clunky, and still should have won the game, we will have to make some hard decisions over summer.

We are relying upon an ageing, slow midfield (Kev, Gundo, Bernie) and it’s not rocket science that we need a left back. We also, imo, desperately need speedy wingers. We saw what Jack did when he made a couple of brave incursions when he came on, and what a difference it made, and Jack isn’t even quick!

The only other comment I would make is on ‘leadership’. I’ve heard some City podcasts saying we have the leadership to drag us out of this. I’ve never been one to cite the intangible quality of ‘leadership’, but when we don’t have strong personalities like Vinny and Ferna, we seem somewhat rudderless when times get difficult.

The only player I see with this intangible quality is Ruben. When he comes back my first choice centre backs would be he and John, with the others rotating when necessary.

The most concerning thing for me is, we've played 3 hours worth of football in the past 4 days and we've mustered 1 shot on target. This means we cannot blame Haaland, we have to start looking at the bigger picture which is the build up and our ability to break the lines.

Fortunately, I'm able to look beyond today's result and accept we've won shit loads recently and if we dont win the Pl this year it isnt the end of the world. For me personally it's all about the CL. Onwards and upwards

We will get mullered in the champions league on current form 1 shot on target over 2 legged games isnt going to get us very far in that comp, although I have a little optimism when you look at previous champions league winners have won it when they've had shocking domestic seasons like Chelsea have twice.

Shower of cunts. Fuck them.

 

[fitzy blue]

We also put 6 past them previously , we've been shocking ever since then tbh.

I wouldn't describe us as shocking.
We've not been at our best but we're still second with a long way to go.
Bring on spurs!

Makes me wonder what PiGMOL will do now they have got Trafford back in the race, will they stick with Arsenal or throw their lot in behind them shithouses. The plot thickens.

Who are the chosen ones? We will have to wait to find out.

The offside goal is deflecting scrutiny of very serious deficiencies in this side. Whenever an opponent runs through our midfield the defence have a meltdown. The lack of any pace and aggression is concerning. The lack of basic skills like marking and tackling is stark .The lack of an athletic keeper to save shots is magnified.

Bollocks! We were winning 1-0 in a derby away from home & we were totally in control. The only chances United had today were from our mistakes. They didn't create anything all game apart from the second goal which wouldn't of happened without the first. How can you blame Ederson for the goals we let in today? The first he was looking at Rashford & the 2nd was just poor defending as we were clearly shell shocked!
You can give up on the title if you want but I think the pain of today is going to set us off on a winning run starting on Thursday.

Not one commentator or pundit has said this goal was on side (only @simon23 ) fuckwit, but all referees and there fuckwits will claim this was a goal, until they scored, this was not a contest

Oh dear...another one who cant have a reasoned debate without resorting to petty name calling....

 

[laplandblue]

The game is bent. Simple question. Would the goal have stood had we scored it. Answer that honestly and you know my opening statement is correct.

I think the commentators on the City commentary said City would have had that goal disallowed.

I agree overall. We need to get angry on the field and in the stands. We got proper shafted today whether we are playing well or not. Disgrace. Cheated
