United (A) | Post Match Thread

Bernardo been amazing since we signed him, has dip in form for few months while also entire squad and system has been wank and you think we should sell him ?

Okey dokey
My favourite player, but has changed so much over the past 4 months.
 
El Mago never needed a 'moment of brilliance' to affect a game, he was always there, simplicity, control, accuracy he knew when to slow the game, he made his team mates better.

Pep needs to be brave and pick the right midfield.
 
I posted this seconds before they scored (on my stream) in the match thread:

I felt it at the time, it was infuriating me, we just kept giving it away constantly.
I don’t disagree that we were giving away the ball far too much throughout the match.

But disagree about how we were playing overall between our opening goal and theirs.

We had begun to take control in my opinion.

Up steps the officials.
 
By "stale" do you mean second in the league with more goals scored than anyone else, a better goal difference than anyone else etc.
We are second in the league because other teams were more shit than us. United is catching up and given our record against spurs by midweek United would have surpassed us on table
 
Clubs with a fraction the talent we have fight for goals and show heart and grit when facing adversity at the end of games. This team lacks that quality.

Rashford didn't touch the ball whilst clearly offsides but if hovering over a ball for a matter of meters still feels like possession to me and clearly impacted the play. It was the wrong call and it sure seemed to take very little time for the powers that be to grant the goal.

Still... when you concede, you have to answer instead of blaming the call.

Haaland is a double edge... He is such a threat to score but he also completely takes away the element of creativity and artistry this team has become over the last several years. It just isn't Pep football and the team are struggling to figure it out. Pep either needs to innovate a way to incorporate Haaland in a manner where he is effective vs. better teams who have planned for and are set up to absorb his threat. The absolute lack of service to him has been shocking.
IDK. We're going to need obvious help around us to overcome this lack of form and that's assuming we do 'figure it out.' I feel like our midfield has wilted, aged and gone off the boil and we've no new additions in that department who are able to breathe life into it and at the same time revitalize the parts that are not clicking.
KDB is sorely off any form that is able to help us and for all his genius ability he's just chucking balls in hoping for magic and losing possession in the process.

I'll stay for the fight as any real supporter would - I love this club but cannot help but feel that we're losing the plot and it will take a paradigm shift to find it. We can't blame cup rust as other teams are in the same boat. Pep to me has had a body language and his vocalizations have just been less assertive than in seasons past like he's capitulating. There's clearly tension in the locker room and it's almost like he's riding it out instead of getting ahead of and addressing it.
Still feel that simple lack of a hard arse leader on the field is what is letting these lost leads happen.
C'mon City... please?
