United (H) Post Match Thread

[Mr. Wednesday]

Not really going to matter in terms of the league.
And Pep has done an amazing job this season but at some point someone has to say to him "Really Pep?! Fucking Noddy (with a much poorer team) has got one over you again?!"

I think it's looking with the benefit of hindsight to be overly critical of the team selection. Hard to suggest picking KDB for a big match and an in-form Mahrez is totally out there. The team was certainly attack minded and looks good on paper.

However, it appears increasingly likely that City will have to do a lot of thinking in the summer about the direction they take and how deBruyne fits into that. There's no doubt Kev is world class but it also can't be denied the midfield three of Rodri, Gundogan and Bernardo is currently City's most balanced and effective midfield, by a fair margin I would say. Of course Kev will improve but he's pushing 30 now and picking up niggly injuries that keep him out a couple months at a time will start to have an effect.

I don't know what the solution is, I'd certainly not endorse getting rid, the guy's a wonderful player but I do worry it might become more of an issue over time.

The standard of our shooting is shocking. Put Kane in that team and we're a different proposition.

Painful to watch even though the result is probably meaningless, but that was a return to our early season form and its fcking embarrasing to lose to this shower at home all the time. We could play all day today and not score, and Raz missing sitters when its crucial is getting worrying again with the cl coming up.

A few other shameful performances too, not naming names as you can see as well as I can(I hope). Cant even blame the ref/var, this one is all on the performance, is Pep trying to keep ole employed??? We were always gonna lose at some point though and our recent run has probably secured us the pl title.

Meh............ just stay in, drown yer sorrows, and dont talk to rag cnts or watch any media.......oh, and prey that this seasons Pep selection brain fart is now out of the way.

Anyone using words like "despicable" or "disgusting" in this thread needs to seriously reconsider their priorities. There are lots of things in the world today that merit such a reaction, but City losing a game of football for the first time since November ain't one of them.

Get. A. Grip.

Fatboy Shaw caused us problems today, When 25 stone get's motoring its hard to stop. With Walker playing that 2nd goal never happens.

Shaw was excellent for them, he scored a superb goal too.

Reverted to how we played at the start of the season

 

[dobingsdobber]

Sterling 23 games without scoring against them, a very good reason not to pick him for these games. He can come out of Wan Bisakas pocket now

Wank Pissarsehole shit himself when Phil came on.

People are emotional.. but Souness just nailed it.. City played how they will always play and should not change as they will win almost all games playing that way as it took utd to be almost perfect to win. But City won’t care as they will win over the course of 9 months.

We need to keep it in perspective. One game that we lost. So what.. we move on.

We did not play how we always play..... otherwise it would 6 0

Our achilles heel is going behind. There cant be another top flight team in Europe with a poorer record when going being.

As good as we've been this season, its still a major issue for us.
