I swear in the last decade United have been awarded more penalties at the Etihad than us

I haven’t kept a tally, but even the most hardcore City fan couldn’t deny the one yesterday was a stonewaller. Daft mistake and then an even more daft “tackle”.

Doesn't help when you've got braindead players smashing into the back of players like yesterday.

Maybe we should stop taking them down stupidly in the penalty area. To be honest Dias tackle on Hojlund could have also been given, If that was down the other end I'd be screaming for a penalty.

I can think of a few they've got at our place and the majority of them are thick as shit fouls.

Spends too much time on his heels too meaning defenders have that split second start on him.

Wouldn't say he's hiding but he's not front and centre a lot of the time.

No service.

He may be big but he’s rarely been physical.

I think a genuine question has to be asked now, Do we go back to the False 9?

With so many injuries in defensive areas and holding midfield area we are a very soft touch for opposition now, They can smell blood.

Probably do no harm to play a False 9 with an extra body in midfield out of possession, Try and make us somewhat tougher to break down.

The downside of that is your taking out your goalscorer and we've literally nobody else to score goals, We've sold an awful lot of goals whether it's Sterling, Mahrez or Alvarez and we haven't replaced them with players that can give us goals from wide areas.

Haaland does need to do more in games, Lack of service for him is incredibly frustrating but the other side of it is he's lost duels yesterday to Slabhead when he really should be bullying him.

You are of course right but the few times the ball went upto him he was on the back foot making slabhead look like Der Kaiser.

I'm not a Nunez hater, I think there's a decent player in there but boy is he lacking a football brain. It makes you realise just how lucky we were to have David Silva. We still haven't got over losing him. Nobody anywhere near his level. I thought Foden may fill his boots but his decline has been one of the worst I've ever seen.

Yeah they VAR’d that one and fortunately it wasn’t given but it was a clumsy challenge.

Yes we have. Won a Treble and 4 league titles in a row.
