United (H) Post Match Thread

It wasn’t even as low down as his ankle!! Everything about that 2nd half is pissing me off.

Aguero should score that header as should Sterling a few minutes later ffs.

You're right, closer to his knee.

If we weren't so far in front I'd probably be more pissed off with the team. As it is, I find it hard to begrudge them a few bad games.

You don’t even need to touch a player anymore for it to be a foul. Red card and penalty anyone who says different is a fool.

Really ? Then I am truly a fool.

The FA can call the rules what they want. They are not Law.

They are not statue law, no, but they are the Laws of the Game. Always have been!

We aren't getting the decision back, but I bet a penalty is awarded on some ground somewhere before this season ends, if a dozen haven't been given already for similar incidents! It was never gonna be given by the ref today. I just wonder what would have to happen for Atkinson to award City a pen.

We can bemoan decisions all day long but it doesn’t explain our defending. Wednesday and today both hideous as soon as the pressure builds.

I've just got home from the match today and I've skipped a lot of this thread but I've just got to get this off my chest;
Pep is a genius, no doubt about and some of the football this season has been amazing but...

He needs to be educated by someone about what it really means to be City, he just doesn't get it. Always understating our status and history and always playing politic with the media when speaking about our rival clubs. Way too much respect shown.

Today, I can accept the team missing chances and the shit refereeing but fundamentally why go into that game with a weak side. It wouldn't have happened at Barca vs Real...

A game and opportunity like today is not about Pep, and its not about the players... its about us the fans and he (and the players) badly let us down.

Maybe we are just a stopping point on his career journey? Is this why the Bayern fans never really fully embraced him, did he not fully understand Bayern?

I'm glad he's our manager and love the football but I've got a feeling he's not actually one of us at all... and maybe he never will be anything other than Barca.

We've been fantastic this season. If you can't see that, you need help.

We have but lost the two biggest games this season when it really mattered.

Luckily for us we did well for most of the season that we get to have more chances than just today.

A really dominant season is looking like its limping over the line.

Oh yes, I remember Fake Ron having a wild swipe at someone, missing by a foot or so but still getting the red card from Stevie Bennett! Think !it was Bennett

Can see were gravvo is coming from , Young did play the ball but his follow through was dangerous play and a penalty and certain yellow card possibly red , the old days of winning th ball and taking everbody and everything with it have long gone.

Didn't get enough of the ball for me. Probably shouldn't matter but to me it does.

I'm definitely of the generation where that kind of tackle shouldn't be allowed.

 

[Franny's toilet roll]

Naive manager . Great when things going his way. Can he change things around in the Chmpions League , i'll show my arse on the town hall steps. Mancini would have beaten Utd and Liverpool . Simon would have done both and win the Champions League. Pep will never win the CL for us

I said at HT that this game was over, and they would only score if we gifted them one. It's a bit hard to take when you gift them three!
