United (H) - Post Match Thread

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

The only thing I remember in the second half was Fernandes playing a terrible ball straight to Ederson.

What sticks in my mind from a Rag perspective is Judas Sancho ballooning his second effort into the Family Stand. Did it make the second tier?

If you asked the eleven Rag starters yesterday what the problem is at The Swamp they'd all be inclined to say 'the other ten'!

I loved Troy Deeney's remark on MOTD2.... 'Have they got 13 men' .... (City players) :-)

Cannot believe the low player ratings from the national media. The Express gave Walker 5 Stones 6 Laporte 6 Cancelo 6 Rodri 6 and even Foden only 7. Maybe their reporter only watched the first half?

I think they only mark us out of seven so Foden got top marks.

Sod it. I don't care if Londoners dont like my jacket today. I'm gonna walk everywhere with it on. And a huge cheesy grin to go with it. Up the blues.

Don't forget, his move away did mean he got to play with the legendary 17 year old Jude Bellingham.

plus he shown us respect by not going over the top and he played down the goal and a sort of sorry look
but united are a mess and its not just one or two but the whole club.

we all seen the trouble sitting in the stand looking at monitors fergie and gill they will never let it go.
every day its drummed into them your not good enough to play for a fergie team

I'm pretty sure a lot of the football journos are stealing a living and don't understand the game properly.

I’ve been critical of Pep’s sometimes sacrificial approach to derbies. That was never going to be the case today with the dippers breathing down our necks. Pep played a blinder, partly in favouring Grealish over Sterling, whose Manc derby record is poor. But even more so for whatever he said and did at HT.

I love his animated discussions with players when play stops. Even when we’re in the ascendancy, he incandesces like we’re 0-6 down.

Agreed. The Derby has always been an exhibition showpiece for Pep, & rarely seen as a match which was critical to our title ambitions. This maybe true, HOWEVER Pep has misjudged what defeat means for local pride. Yes winning the title is more important, but at least let's take the Derby seriously, if only for fans' bragging rights.

He's approached previous derbies as an attacking extravaganza. Yesterday he approached it as a must win game & look at the difference. Added to the win at Old Toilet, THIS is how ALL derbies should be approached.

Perhaps Pep is learning. We were all in shock at his approach to the CL Final, but not surprised as he had previous for this. Hopefully he'll now stick to what works best for us & shelve trying to spring tactical surprises in crucial matches, which seem to affect us more than the opposition.

More of yesterday's 2nd half please! :-)

They've got an overall score of 11-1 against us and Liverpool this season, and they still have to go to Anfield.

Mad how far they've fallen. I didn't see anything yesterday that suggests they'll be close in the next three years at the very, very least.

I've got no problem with him, but he wasn't being sorry he was being coy!

Would have loved to have seen Micah Jump the table, and plant the little rat. Still carries that Rag superiority complex, that makes us hate them so much.

"We didn't want him".
