United (H) Post Match Thread

[Silva top]

Thank you Pep for ruining what could, should have been one of the best days of City’s history. Winning the Premiership with 6 matches to go would, I think, have been a record to be proud of. But No!! You couldn’t stop tinkering with the squad and wouldn’t listen to what the real fans were saying - “Get this won against the Rags and then have a real go against the dippers with a trophy under your belt and the fans right behind you”.
Winning in football becomes a habit and so does loosing. We, hopefully will still get the 2 wins needed to win the Premiership but this result will hang around our necks like an albatross to be brought up again and again over the years. The remarks, to fans, after the game attributed to you in the press indicate, to me, an arrogance which says that you may be the manager for the next year or maybe more but you will never be a ‘citizen’ in my eyes. Will I still be a City fan regardless? Of course! But to win the Premiership against the Rags should not have been underestimated by you and at the end of the season you will (may) have achieved just what Pelligrini did in his first year at City.
In my opinion, this result was waiting to happen because you will not understand the rivalry between the two clubs and the basic premise of put your best team out at all times and then put on substitutes on when you are winning against every team but much more importantly against the Rags
Come on City!

Followed City all my life, went to Newcastle 68, I've had enough of corrupt modern football, even though I'm in Oz I never miss a game, it takes over my life,I'm finished it is no longer the club I fell in love with all those years ago, run by Spaniards and Arabs that either don't care how we feel about United or don't get it, money has destroyed the game, and corrupted it, I've known that for years, all you internet warriors will tell me to fuck off anyway, done a lot of thinking before I wrote this, just need to get on with my life, I'm 64 but modern football wont be part of it.
City my City will always be but in my memories C ya CTID closing my Bluemoon account.

Kind of see what you’re saying but a bit racist and defeatist. We need good kb warriors. It’s a bobbly field with unclaimed dog shit everywhere. Stop being a pussy. We got beat try to remember it used to happen all the time

It was more a case of the tactics as opposed to the personnel once we were 2-0 up and our defensive set up especially at set plays left a lot to be desired.

If we had of taken more of the chances we created in the first half we probably would be champions by now.


This result means little in the scheme of things in the annals of history other than delaying the celebration provided we do what is required to do that in the remaining 6 games.

It's where you finish at the end of the season that matters in particular when you finish first.

I certainly won't be be dwelling on the defeats at Anfield 4-3 and home to Manure if we clinch the title this year and how its done.

As for the Chumps League I don't think we have the squad to go all the way yet and expect Liverpool to come a cropper in the semi's.

Sterling is absolutely fucking shite

15 goals for us, if he had stayed with the dippers he would've struggled to score 5

Get rid ASAP

Really lucky he plays for us, wouldn’t get the sitters on a plate at any other club like he does for us every game . He’s probably missed 15+ open nets this season. His finishing is a joke and you just can’t rely on him, not good enough for a top team.

Ask any neutral football fan and they would say that game should have been over by half time.

The reason it wasn't was our abysmal finishing, this has got to be addressed in the close season.

It hurts so much even after waking up. Feels like league was lost yesterday. Probably never been so dissappointed over a defeat in recent times.

Players are the only one to be blamed not pep. They didnt take respnsibility im second half

Talking to each other on the way back we got to grips with it. Shame though it was. The wailing and nashing of teeth is strong on here still.

Not playing a striker when both were fit?

Resting KDB & Walker ......for fucking what exactly ?

One of the reasons I would suggest but certainly up there with the main ones.

We continue to lapse in concentration especially at set pieces for periods of the game and sometimes we get heavily punished for that.

Some sides are not good enough or don't get the rub of the green to capitalise on the opportunities we present.

Despite the fact it will take some time for VAR to bed in I think because of the way we play we will get far more decisions missed by refs for us than against us in the future.

Penalties and off sides despite some subjectivity on occasions surrounding them will have more of them correctly adjudicated on.

Any ref that would have taken a look at the Young challenge on Kun and still ruled it as a fair challenge would be looking at a long time on the sidelines on reduced pay.

I doubt even the likes of Aitkinson would want that to happen to him as he can claim poor positioning or whatever at the time but the replay doesn't lie and while the perception he is bent doesn't subside it would make it nigh impossible for him to not say to the world he is if he ruled the same under VAR.
