United (H) | PL | Post Match Thread

Yep both were disgracefully shit.

If that game against Liv 2:1 was arguably the best PL game between top sides, tonight was the opposite.

I tuned in late to the game on DVR having kept staying silent not knowing score since i couldn't. watch live from the start.. It picked up live in the 85th... couldn't avoid seeing the score 1-0 then started watching from kick off with pressure gone feeling secure we'd win. Got nervy when it got to the point I'd initially joined. Then a total fucking collapse. Fucking wish I'd just started watching it from there and not fully wasted 2 hours of my Sundaym

I've not been this pissed off at the lack of will, grit, drive, bollocks on this team for on a decade now.

I literally dread watching games now.

We bid for Rice,bought Erling Josko,Dok,Nunes,Savinio and Echivero ?

Bringing other elite players in 18 months ago may have been ideal, but who were they,and would they have been happy to be sharing duties before becoming first choice ?

20 20 hindsight is perfect vision !!

We didn't get Rice, and with the exception of Haaland only Gvardiol has offered anything of use so far.

That is the clearest thing from today ? if we won today playing like we did would only paper over the cracks
This is not the City team we have watched win the title 4 times in a row, there is nothing, No fight, No hunger, No Pressing, No closed down, No desire NOTHING

Did we deserve to lose today YES, Does it hurt me saying that YES, Enough is Enough, No more bullshit
Pep can play the EDS or Youth players and get a better tune out of them right now

It's painful watching world-class players ghost around because of so-called injuries ? A top-level club does not play or let players ghost because of injuries ? NO matter who is the manager or who is a long-term injury problem, they are setup to handle a crisis or the manager leaves,

Can Rodri injury be the major problem ?

What I don't understand is Pep wanted Bruno G, it was briefed all summer he wanted him, when the time comes where you can pay the release clause there was silence. I know the fee was high but we payed 100 mil for Grealish.

....and were burnt.

Its made us wary,rightly or wrongly.

We will never know if the charges resulted in a 'political' pausing of strategy.

The timing may be more than a coincidence !!

Haaland ain’t in the same league as Aguero , scores goals but the cost is playing with 10 mend and makes us 1 dimensional

Absolutely spot on.

 

[Mon Autre]

The time for a freshen up was summer 2023 and then more new faces this summer
Transfer complacency started a rot

What's left to do now is buying five or more top quality players and attempting to integrate them

Remember when we bought Bernardo and supporters (including myself) thought why, where's he going to play?
We were very pro active and since Haaland, there's been nothing

I agree with you. I said pretty much the same tho g a couple of pages back!

 

[argyle]

No its not. People have seen this coming, called it out last year, writing was on the wall.
Its negligence by the powers that be.

We are allowed to call the men that run the club out, after all… they are merely keeping the seat warm for now

Those who 'saw this coming' are those that have always flapped, always been fearful of something going wrong.

They flapped during the 100 points season. They flapped during the treble season.

Its been a bad two months. That's it. Two months out of a near decade of dominance.

Two months and they want players to fuck off out of the club and the manager to walk.

We didn't get Rice, and with the exception of Haaland only Gvardiol has offered anything of use so far.

Agreed.

 

[Macca77macca]

I said this recently in the “city in crisis” thread and hoped it wasn’t just me. Pleased to see it isn’t!

Lillo sits there impassively, glued to the seat with a blank expression win, lose or draw. Goodness knows what nuggets of wisdom he’s offering Pep but he certainly isn’t providing inspiration, encouragement or a kick up the arse to the players.

Losing Rodolfo Borrell was clearly a much bigger blow than we realised at the time.

I think something in this.

If the 115 goes against us , Khaldoon won’t be doing the end of season video as he’ll have been replaced

Khaldoon is sheikh mansours puppet.
Of course we've fiddled the books, how do you think we managed to catch up with everyone.
Masters has found a smoking gun like it or not and Khaldoon will be doing his end of season video through video link in the nick as him and the rest of the Spanish mafia are bent as a 9 bob note.


And it's now filtering down to the team that the club are as false as that dildo welded onto Simon stones face and him trying to pass it off as a nose.
