United (H) Post Match Thread

[argyle]

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.

No one has said anything about getting rid of Pep. His decisions against Liverpool and the rags yesterday are being scrutinised that is all.

totally agree im old enough to remember the bad days but appreciate the good but realising its only a game of football in the grand scheme of things.but I too am still pissed off with the misses and shitty reffing and the wait in the blue carpark listening to that twat on 5 live trying to slag pep and listening to the rag callers gleefully agreeing despite being 13 points behind.fuck em were going on to great things.

Haha! I stuck on a CD of Maria Callas! I wasn't gonna listen to anything from the RDAHMeedya! I was back in flunter all the way home. It's when I got home and this morning that yesterday is beginning to sink in. We can accommodate the pantomime in defence, and the glaring misses up front, but how is the foul on Sergio waved away?

Everybody is frustrated at yesterday's game, we as fans saw an opportunity to win the title in the perfect way at home against the scum , the management team looked at it in a different way trying to go for the hail Mary shot on Tuesday evening knowing that the league can still be done easily. I know it's a cliche but I was always taught to get the work done as soon as possible, plenty of time to rest after the job is done and that's what annoys me . We could have gone into Tuesdays game as Prem champions rolled the dice and see what happens, as it is we go into the game on the back of two defeats and not Prem champs cos we will do that another day , when the prize is in front of you, you take it, that's what annoys me the fact that that we are not Prem champs this morning when it was there for the taking .

That's OK, but they don't "scrutinise" his decisions in the games when we win in style, they come on here to moan when we don't win, calling Pep a "daft twat" is an absolute disgrace and I can tell you now if that was said in my local he would be on very thin ice.

Ok, we're all in shock and we don't get much practice at facing sustained pressure, but can we be expected to criticise our team when Sergio almost has knee ripped out ? Liverpool did a number on us (fair enough), but even then the ref screwed us over. Roll on VAR !!!

We don’t get much practice at facing sustained pressure, but we should be capable of defending set pieces and crosses. United didn't have the ball enough yesterday to sustain pressure on us. They had 15 minutes where they created 3 chances.

The ref was awful, but we should have been out of sight in the first half. Then, definitely for their second and third goals they were absolutely free. No marking, no challenge and nobody trying to get in the way.

Young’s foul on Sergio was a disgrace. It was a blatant penalty and anywhere else on the pitch he’d get pulled up for it. The ref bottled that and a few other decisions. Sterling had a defender on his back in the first half and it was waved away.

But, my concern is that they had 4 chances yesterday and scored 3 goals. That’s just not good enough at any level of football. I don’t want to criticise the team, we’ve been superb this year. We capitulated yesterday because we thought the game was won. We took our foot off the gas and panicked when they scored. We didn’t try to change the intensity, we didn’t make subs until we were behind and we were very guilty of not putting the game to bed when they were on the ropes first half.

People are letting off steam and some are going overboard.

What is there to criticise when he fields the best team and we win in style?

People are criticising that when it really mattered in the two biggest games of the season his decisions were part of why we came up short.

 

[TRUE BLUE NO1]

Not sure I'll be able to watch sunday supplement this morning! ha! Couldnt take 90minutes of the press kissing rags arse!! he!

 

[gkmcfc]

Gutted. It’s always hard losing to them, but there was a different edge to this one. The desperation to get over the line and doing so by beating them. Can’t explain what happened to us second half. We just seemed unable to respond to United upping the ante. At the end of the day it isn’t going to stop our march to the title and that comes before anything!

 

[Hesperus]

That is a fans blinkered view though (we all wanted to win it against the rags) and if we are all honest, at half time we thought we were going to do that and in some style to boot. He cannot be blamed for the team selection, eyebrows can be raised at the timeliness of his subs though when players started to switch off.

Blinkered? Really?

My point is he should have played the strongest team and he didn’t. Can you argue with that statement?

The first half proved we were good enough, the second half was defensively not good enough but down to the players, not the Manager. The Dippers rested and brought on players against Everton yesterday and drew in a boring game, we lost, but, come Tuesday we can go at full tilt to progress in the CL, it's a tall order but if we do it how many of the moaning Minnie's will be on this site?
