United (H) Post Match Thread

I don't know why they do it or sit there after the game. Is it to get on TV? I was so pissed off I just wanted to get home, draw the curtains and hibernate for the rest of the night. If this was the last game of the season and we had lost the title and been relegated maybe.

There is no pleasing some people on here they stayed till the end ffs

What worries me most is the lack of leadership. No one pulled the team together and settler them down after either of Pogba's goals.

Kompany gets a lot of credit as a "great leader" but I've never seen it. He's articulate in front of a camera, he clearly cares like a supporter does but he's never really seemed to be able to sort the lads out when necessary.

Even if Kompany is a good leader, he's nearly done with us and certainly no one else in the current side has shown any sense of leadership. Our vice captains of Dinho and Silva seem to get the armband simply because they're the eldest players.

Very worrying for a team with our ambition.

Funnily enough, I had the very same conversation with a mate after the Liverpool game. Now there was a time where if anything like these collapses looked remotely possible, that Kompany would be yelling, balling & putting everyone in place, but that's now 2 matches on the trot where we've collapsed defensively & all Kompany's done is throw his arms up & look midly disappointed.

Both matches were begging out for leadership on the pitch to get us back at it, & twice in the last week it wasn't there. Very odd.

Last week on TV here in NZ, an old "Live at the Apollo" - Jason Bamford - a brilliant comedian and huge City fan ......................

"I was playing fantasy football against United and we scored 1 then a second. I was elated but a little worried. Then United scored, oh no, and then a second, oh shit. And horror of horrors they scored a third in the 97th minute".

My wife reminded me of that last night when we had finished shedding tears at our most recent capitulation.

I’m just gonna say it and people can come for me if they want but I worry about this team. The vast majority are young and/or haven’t won serious silverware yet and i think that’s why we’re seeing these collapses, they’re not sure how to handle the pressure or get over the last hurdle, hence all these missed chances. And let’s be honest, kompany and Otamendi have always had the capacity to drop a bollock.

Pep now has to earn his money by giving them the warriors spirit. Only then will we get to where we should be.

I know what your saying, and with some of the players being young and in that category of not winning anything yet probably does play its part.

Just out of interest did the rags play loud music after the game in their dressing room?

He can solve the youngster problem by giving Yaya a game!!!!

Martin Samuels article on the mail website sums up the lost opportunity for me.

Decent piece

I’m genuinely still fuming and upset and quite likely to give someone an earful today if they get on the wrong side of me - which if anyone knows me, is the last thing I’d normally do.
