Have we not just been on an incredible run that has us at the top of the league with a decent gap and alive in 3 other competitions?
I don’t agree with Walker being our best RB, I think he has a brain fart or two in his locker. His pace gets him out of trouble. I think he gets caught in two minds too often and doesn’t offer what cancelo does in midfield in terms of possession and positional play, Cancelo for whatever reason stayed too rigid at right back too often and it allowed too much space in midfield for United. The whole team for 60 70 mins looked rigid and played in straight lines up and down the pitch. Gave away possession cheaply and missed good chances. But most importantly left far far too much spaces for United too attack. We weren’t patient enough with the ball and too far apart and too wide.
The run was fantastic and we had everything going our way, playing great stuff.
Yes but we don’t know what’s been said to players, who’s trained well, whatever. Let me be clear: I wouldn’t have picked that team. But Pep might not have wanted to leave Sterling out because he’s promised him he will play in the big games. He might have concerns about KDB being unhappy, he might have thought he trained well, he might have even thought we’d smash them with Kev still getting up to speed.I honestly don’t know. What I do know is that Pep knows better than you and me and sees the big picture. This was just another league game where everything that can go wrong did, and we were still the better team. Let’s see where we are at the end of the season.
we"ll have to agree to disagree then.his electric pace stops a lot of problems yes he does have the odd blip but the positives far outweigh the negatives.i thought cancelo was part of the problem yesterday giving it away up the field but having no pace to get back.i just think we look a better unit at the back with kyle in it.
When was the trophy presentation I must have missed it.
Hard to disagree especially in the CL. That Liverpool game away where we absolutely collapsed in 15 minutes and that nightmare first 10 vs spurs. Bit of a wobble seems to knock the confidence of the team. We was so open yesterday on the counter again. Go back to the cup game United didn’t have a sniff we defended superbly
If there were a little more hostility and aggression by City toward the Rags it would help!! In other words, if were gonna lose go cavalier stylee.
We really weren’t the better team. They could and should have had 3 or 4. Their keeper had nothing to bother him. They executed their game plan perfectly; Kev had a shocker ; we were toothless up front and lacked any sense of intensity. We were 2nd best.
ffs, dont tell me you thought that it was NOT a pen. Fucking stevie wonder would have given that.
Is the reality. We must focus on where and why and take action to close the gaps in the summer.
Oh yeah I said the same yesterday.
So what if his pace gets him out of trouble, that is a strength of his and should not be held against him. Walker should have played yesterday to nullify their pace which he did when he came on.
