United (H) | PL | Post Match Thread

[bondsman]

Dipperpool havent won 6 out of 7 Pls, or 4 in a row PLs, or won the CL, or been in a CL semi,or won the ECC or the WCC.

That cumulative load of intense, high stress,games has overloaded the players physicaly & mentally.

They are drained to empty, then a vicious cycle of injuries, illness, loss of form, loss of confidence a perfect storm of rinse and repeat leads us to where we are now.

Shouting abuse and turning on the players should be beyond City fans, leave that to the rags.

The squad could've/should've been evolving with elite young players during the last 18 months.....strengthen and refresh when you can not when you must.

It hasnt, and therfore the same players have had to play out of position when half fit or ill only to be injured again....rinse and repeat.

Slagging the current World and English Champions off will do more harm than good,and play right into the hands of our vile detractors.

Now is the time to say nowt and keep our councel.

Fwiw.....I beleive the 'rot'
started in the week leading up to the cup final.

The hitherto most professional,hard headed and focused players of the modern era, demonstrated breathtaking complacency in believing they could win a cup final having been on the piss for days.

We lost, and the first chinks of the 'rot' had appeared .

This perfect storm hasnt blown out yet, and is going to take careful management in the coming weeks and months.

Bang on. Our approach and attitude changed exactly when we didn’t prepare for a cup final against our enemy to win a double.

Difficult time to be a blue, Noel Coward springs to mind

No matter how bad it may feel.

We will all be here tomorrow. That’s all that matters.

The list of issues is endless. Supporting city is more than a defeat against the rags who by the way are crap.

Chin up and let’s see how we get on next week.

Pep needs to get on the pitch with them and figure out why we are so disjointed in all aspects. No point crying about what we are missing but get into a mind of thought as to how we can stop getting beaten.

Huge shake up needed.

A week without a mid week game may help everyone.

Ok man who calls himself Johnny Mars Bar on the internet.

The same kind of person who calls himself silvathechihuahua after his dog and his favourite player, who knows he be Jonny marr !

Instead of being derogatory tell me where I'm wrong.

Yep one of several who spend their time complaining about people having a go at the players ( in fairness some are a bit rash ) but don’t actually offer anything in the way of explaining what’s actually going on in the present or for that matter even about the game this “ post match “ thread is about!

 

[Roachy]

Just with their basic organisation they looked to have an extra man to us today

2nd half especially. Not only did we not close the players down, we didn't restrict their space to pass into.

 

[Brunswick Blue]

No for the first time the collapse was shortly after Guardiola's substitutions. Perhaps he should leave well alone next game.

 

[jonny689]

It’s fucking wank and it hurts but Jesus Christ, 100 points, domestic quad, treble, four in a row! Let’s cut the lads and Pep some slack for everything they’ve done in recent times!! We’ll be back!

 

[JWCH-99]

And you sound like an ostrich with your head in the sand.

Spoilt brat

 

[Blu3m00n91]

They’ve been hiding behind excuses now for too long. Nothing has happened to warrant these performances. They don’t do anything with intensity. They can’t even fucking defend as a unit. I don’t expect us to win every week but I expect to see highly paid professionals show abit of effort
