United (H) Post Match Thread

Fuck me you would think we just got relegated and lost a final all in one go reading some posts on here.
We are the champions elect, we are 6pts from glory, we have 6 games left to play, why is everyone having a meltdown?
So what we didn't or we won't be breaking records, football isn't about being the holder of those things, it's about getting your name on the trophies.
The tail end of the season is all about getting points on the board by any which way you can, yes we have been sublime and breathtaking but sometimes you need to eek out results.
We lost the battle this week but will win the war in the end.

Right ok....
 
Personally I think Pep got it right yesterday. I can’t argue with those City fans who believe that we should have played our strongest 11 and won the league/ derby making it a night to remember- the emotions involved in that would have been huge. All that said Pep will not be judged on winning the derby or if we win it early. Rather than getting tied up in the emotions of derby day or winning it in such dramatic circumstances, Pep has been ruthlessly cold and calculated. He obviously believes that the league is won, as does nearly everyone (we should get 2 wins from Huddersfield, Brighton et al) and therefore the priority has to be the champions league on Tuesday, which is why we got the team selection we did yesterday.

Don’t get me wrong, I think Pep felt that the team could still win, and with 2 missed penalties, 2 sterling chances, 2 Gundogan chances we really should have won. As for making changes earlier, I also think Pep kept it as it was predominantly to see who had the bottle for next season. He learnt lots yesterday about the players and he will use it to base his decisions for next seasons transfers.

Of course he wanted to win but for me his team selection shows that he firmly believes that the Liverpool game on Tuesday is realistic and he will be emensely confident we can do it. I know some will believe (with their hearts) that we should have gone for it yesterday, but for me Peps ruthless cold, calculated and unemotional decisions just go to demonstrate further his single minded attitude to winning everything and that no external pressures will influence his decisions.

As a side note, please can people (at the game in particular) stop having go at our players, having your own opinion is fine but when that opinion impacts on the performance of our players on the pitch then you need to stfu.. there were hundreds around me shouting abuse at sterling yesterday... it doesn’t help him or us. One particular young lady was giving it large about Sane, saying that he’s shit. My god, the guy will probably be in the team of the year! Rant over, just think that we need to support all of those who wear the blue shirt.
 
I'm still fuming after that total shit show. Absolutely embarrassing capitulation and shows a total lack of bottle in 5 or 6 players. As much as it pains me I include some club deities in that.

I was pretty well set up before the game began for a reverse. By HT I was in muted celebratory mode. By FT I had come to terms with another example of the curse of the two goal lead. I sat in Blue car park fuming at Atkinson trying to pass that performance off as refereeing. This morning I am well and truly pissed off with shitty finishing, shitty defending and, worst of all, shitty refereeing!

Some people on here just love to complain. The same people moaning about the team selection would be kicking off if the players looked tired on Tuesday night. There's always some people who make it so the manager just can't win unless we win every game 4-0. Now, after witnessing the geniuses of Alan Ball, Frank Clark, Stuart Pearce, Mark Hughes we have the highest regarded manager on the planet and people are still moaning about him.

Spot on pal, some absolute pricks who don't appreciate the superb football that will culminate in winning two trophies, who would they want as Manager? How anyone can slag Pep off is unbelievable, Allardyce, PEG, Wenger anyone? Come on here and if you don't like Pep state who you would have and be prepared to be laughed at.
