United (H) Post Match Thread

[citytill1die84]

Woke up and not to bothered now I was much more pissed off with the dippers game.

1st half absolutely fantastic had we been more clinical we'd have been out of site. 2nd half rags took their chances and ref gave them every single decision Atkinson was a complete joke needs looking at. Thought Pep should have started full strength had he had done it would have been over by half time because Sergio or Jesus would have put away those Sterling misses.

My rag mates yesterday reminded me of myself when we used to be shit and always behind them they were buzzing until I reminded them it's still 13 points.

Yesterday the rags delayed the inevitable it's coming we just need to wait a little longer.

The expected goal (xG) stat was City 3.47 and United 0.98.

How do they manage to score 3 goals with xG of 0.98 ???!!!! That suggests that the rags victory was mainly by luck than judgement.

They have a habit of this - they beat Arsenal 3-1 in December and the xG was Arsenal 4.24 rags 2.07. Also remember on more than one occasion they have won 2-1 with only one shot on target ! SCABBY BASTARDS. Its as if there is a supernatural force making it happen !

The referee decisions helped the rags too.

And what if we do qualify for Champ League Semi ? The scenario of a winning a league game to win the prem in between two champ league legs will reappear !

WE ARE DOOMED !

Both games against the dippers and this one against the rags we’ve lost the game due to a mad 10/15 mins. We really need to sort ourselves out and stop them periods from occurring. Our mental strength was never in doubt the first half of the season but maybe now we’re seeing the boys tire, both physically and mentally.

I’ve noticed our pressing has gone way down in recent weeks and we’re not creating as much angles as we used to when Eddie has the ball. Dinho is vital to that and I don’t blame him if he’s shagged he’s played more or less every game. Mad we didn’t buy a CM in the summer/January.

But is it a one in a lifetime opportunity?
We stopped the rags winning it at old toilet in 2013. There title win was delayed by two games as a result.

Go one then I`ll bite when was the last time in your or my ( aged 62 ) experience when WE had the chance to win the league against the Rags



.....

No didn`t think so ..

 

[manimanc]

Woke up and Im still pissed about the game!! This past week has be crap

Have a look at the league table, especially 1st and 2nd.

 

[hammocity]

Haha, I only wanted to buy you a drink x

You are more than welcome pal, glad you can rise above the banter, I virtually shake your hand, cheers.

 

[K.Reeves right foot]

I must be a football genius because when i heard the line up i knew we'd struggle. Then at half time i said i hope he changes it . It was as clear as day. Perhaps not to the likes of you but to a level headed honest fan it is.

But Bill, some of us are clued up enough to know that they would come out fighting in the second half, no way they wanted to be humiliated as the 1st half. Seems we knew, the players didn't or if they did have a warning from Pep they decided to be passive bystanders. They just stood and watched. I'll never understand how Otamendi as a professional footballer can watch Pogba jog past him for a free header. It's beyond belief. Dont dare criticise Pep. He is a God apparently and is beyond reproach to some. Constructive analysis isnt allowed on here the keyboard warriors will not allow it.

 

[iwasthere1968]

I said, not long ago, that I’ve never felt more disconnect from the club and that really they don’t understand or care to understand the core local fanbase.

We had a historic chance to win the league against our local rivals but the club prioritised the chance to earn an extra £7m prize money (and whatever they might earn from ticket sales) that you get by reaching the semi-finals of the CL instead.

Queue for ....fanny wipes ....rag ......glory hunter... Tin Hat mate ( I also agree with you )

Seeing the Rags celebrate and the number out wearing shirts today just reminds how far we have come

Likkle Citeh has been buried in the vault of bad memories

Their reactions tells the whole story

 

[FantasyIreland]

I’ve just been reading through many threads in here, and the Player Performance forum, and it is interesting that the “amplifying” response posts (the ones repeatedly agreeing and building upon very negative comments or strong criticism of Pep/players/club) generally are coming from posters I’ve never seen before, with very low posts counts and very little recent activity. And those posts are then being responded to by still more (or the same) mystery contributors with agreement and further vitriol.

Its incredibly frustrating and annoying,but that is how the majority of these clowns get their kicks.We,as admin,know who they are and we try to watch them carefully.However,despite best efforts (and deleting plenty without it getting on the board) we miss the occasional WUM/Troll type comment and that is where reporting such would be much appreciated.Simply moaning about other members or replying with anger doesn't help and keeps us in the dark.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

On a slightly different note, it's not until he plays against you that you realise how shit Lukaku really is, is it?

I remember a couple of seasons back they somehow managed to win their first 2 games, scoring 3 goals, despite only having a total of ONE shot on target in those 2 games!

Of the 3 goals one was an OG and one was a wicked deflection that was going well wide.

What other team on the planet could get 6 points despite only having one shot on target in 180 minutes of football!!

Fluky, fluky bstards.

 

[paulchapo]

And the announcer telling the fucking vermin they were going to be kept behind after the game 3 fucking times! It’s like the whole club had given up th ghost when we went behind.

It was a wank day. The worst at home since Liverpool dicked us 4-1

Yes I mean that fucking announcement kind of seemed to slow our tempo down. The fucker should be shot! I was thinking "Shut up you ****!!"

 

[foggy1974]

Mourinho changed their game plan at half time and we did not react until it was too late. The throwing on of subs at 3-2 was just desperation to try and save the game. Never understand why you don’t start with your strongest side and then bring players off. Gutted but it’s typical city and let’s get the league won. Let’s get behind the lads on Tuesday whatever happens.

We were 2-0 up and played them off the park. Feel as though mentally they like the fans thought the game was over. If KDB or Sergio had got injured we as fans would be going beserk. Seeing them celebrate as if they had won the league will hopefully inspire our players for Tuesday and beyond. Winning yesterday would of been the cherry on top of the cake and the journey home was horrible, detest losing to them but as the saying goes They might of won the battle but we win the war (league).
Think yesterdays second half shows we need another striker who can come off the bench and another ball winning/tackling midfielder

I hope you are keeping an eye on that "BILL" fellow, he seems to be a right trouble maker.

 

[mosssideblue]

That’s a pretty arrogant statement when we’re playing out fiercest rival who are also 2nd in the league.

2-0 up and cruising - we should not have lost. Nothing arrogant about that I dont think

 

[FantasyIreland]

You make a fine pair,on here and at the ground,from my understanding ;-)

 

[mosssideblue]

Completely disagree mate. If Kun, KDB & Walker had started that game we would now be Champions and on a major high - which is what we needed after Liverpool.
We are now on a serious low and two of the toughest games of the season coming up next.
Pep fucked up on Wednesday and again yesterday. Hey, he's human but on occasions he tries to be just a bit to clever for his own good and it has cost us dearly.

Mate, that is speculative. You or I can neither confirm or deny that would have been the outcome. Bottom line is the team fielded created so many excellent chances in the first half to have put the game to bed and once again we failed to capitalise.

 

[Big Yaya Wilko 12]

I just can't get over it.

How did we lose that game?

We were 40 minutes away from being champions. Against the rags. And we blew it.

I hope we don't blow this lead in the league. We'd never hear the end of it.
