United (H) | Post Match Thread

[asahartford1]

Great day yesterday.

Thanks again Pep and players.

Bit surprised looking at the reaction of posters . First of all at the wet nappy reaction to the news Rodri wasn't playing, then I was disappointed reading the very negative posts concerning the final score.
United were battered, they at least realise that, City were brilliant.
8 matches coming up in a short time, some legs rested, yet Pep got criticised by some on here.
It used to be a bit tongue in cheek....
"Best team in all the land an all the World"
Pep has made it a reality.

As fans we wanted 10-nil ! But Pep is looking long term and giving the squad playing time.

Yes. I’ve complained in the past about Pep not treating derbies seriously enough. However, I think he was right to make those substitutions and still expect a 7-1. We’ve got 9 games in October FFS.

No, it was down to players losing concentration at the end.

On a different note, how pleasantly surprised was I to hear them mention “Not in my lifetime” on MOTD? Hahaha. The camera panned onto the Old Bacon a few times during the game. Face like a bulldog licking piss off a nettle.

Amazing till half time, slacked off a bit and they scored and then stepped it up again. The changes made it closer than it should have been but I still don’t know what the pen was given for, he basically threw himself to the ground. Well done blue boys let’s hope we go on a long winning run now

I have to say that I thought Akanji was brilliant today and I have been very critical of him since he started.

Am I missing the sarcasm here?.. he’s not put a foot wrong

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Can't stand the bloke, has an opinion about everything.......except his mate Beckham being paid millions to promote a country that's still in the dark ages complete with slavery and the suppression of women.
Him and Spitty are both monumental cunts.

Isn’t that what a pundit is paid for?

Not sure him being mates with Beckham makes him a monumental **** either, but to each their own opinion.

I loved that moment where Akanji "robbed" Sancho of the ball without even attempting to actually tackle him... he just stood off him and knew full well that Sancho would effectively pass the ball straight to him when attempting to control it, which is exactly what he did!

You could argue that our best centre back partnership wasn't available. [...]

I for one wouldn't mind seeing those two getting more matches together. They were brilliant.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Yup, strange how it wasn’t checked by VAR…?

All penalty decisions are checked by VAR.

How do people not know this yet?

 

[shemnel]

that was amazing. Just ignore the last 2 United goals, it's all context. We all wish the subs had done a little bit better, the team had been a little tighter, but the players were in lala land (and the penalty wasnt a penalty).

Ake and Akanji both immense i thought - one of United's big mistakes was not pressuring either of them in possession, and letting them maraud on. Bernie....stunning. Everyone brilliant really.

Great day out, really great.

I agree, and they've both looked excellent in all their recent appearances but, in fairness, they weren't up against much yesterday. In that 1st half, United were so woeful, I thought we were playing Woe FC reserves from the planet woe, and that Liz Truss had given them the pre match team talk.

What a time to be a blue.

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

It's a nice change seeing Sky Sports news wanking themselves silly over us, and deservedly so. Football porn at it's finest!

 

[manimanc]

Thought Ake played brilliant today.
Was on it from the off. Winning tackles and playing the simple pass and coming out with the ball and getting past the halfway line unchallenged.
Was chuffed for him

Think the difference now could be Haaland turns a "could've been 5 or 6 " into 4 instead of just 2 if Sterling had though chances instead.

So it's 4-0 at half time. It's never 8-0 at full time.

The Huddersfield 10-1 was 4-0 at half-time. I'd have loved that yesterday.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

The Huddersfield 10-1 was 4-0 at half-time. I'd have loved that yesterday.

Wasn’t the last time we were 4-0 up at half time the Leicester game that we ended up winning 6-3 in similar circumstances to yesterday?

 

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

Amazing everyone excellent. Gundogan closest thing to Iniesta I've seen. Bernardo is fantastic we are blessed what a team and club we have

 

[East Level 2]

Any blue who gives a flying fuck about them cunts scoring 3 needs to give their heads a fucking wobble.

Thank you.

Unless we miss the title by one or two goals?
Or the rags stay up by one or two goals.

Remember when Martinez kept Haaland quiet for Dortmund against Ajax?

Me neither.

It will have been checked but not overruled unless it was a clear error.
