United post-match thread

[Citizen in Pakistan]

Happy for garcia and maffeo, their full strength side only managed to win it by a ordinary goal against our second string side, lack of creativity and sideways passing was painful to see though

 

[Scaring Europe to Death]

I'm getting a bit sick of folk saying we are building, we've got the best manager in world and have spent millions building time is over or should be. We didn't have a shot on target!

I know.
That's why I said we can't complain.
The future is a completely different kettle of fish unless you're blaming Guardiola for City signing Otamendi , Kompany being forever injured, or not replacing our full backs sooner.
Everyone's been moaning about the youngsters not getting a chance. Tonight they got a chance, and everyone's moaning because we didn't pick Silva or Stones.
Last season, we played 17 games more than Leicester, and from February onwards we were fucked. Hopefully this season will be different, but tonight was never going to be the deciding factor.

Been a very poor last few games.

However, the season is a marathon, not a sprint.

In Pep we trust.

(I think)

 

[Chi-town blues]

he needs a couple of windows for sure.

This

 

[shemnel]

worst winless streak since Dec 2008 and worst equal since 2003

Well done Pablo Maffeo and Aleix Garcia they were the big positives from tonight and clearly have a future with the club.
Sane and Sterling lost so much possession and need to step up.
Mike Dean was poor to say the least.
Let's regroup and target the Premier League and Barcelona. We have bigger fish to fry than the EFL cup.

 

[Robinho's Subbuteo]

The Kompany remark is really worrying.

Do you not think it's how Pep has phrased it with the english he knows? I would interpret that as he had to come off as Kompany felt he'd he'd played enough of this game and didn't want to over do it as he has in the past.

 

[cleavers]

people are saying we should have put a stronger side out but with dean on that form we would still have lost.

We'd already lost as soon as we beat Swansea, and the bent draw was made.

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

There's something definetley wrong, either the players can't play his system or don't want to, we are much better playing at pace as soon as it slows down we are rubbish, we are creating nothing. I remember Thiery Henry saying that at Barca they could do what they wanted in the last third maybe our plates aren't intelligent enough to handle it.

Can't handle or are not good enough? I'm not sure which it is to be honest

 

[cookster]

it was the FA cup, outranks this game ten fold.

In your opinion. Most blues I know would prefer to beat the Rags, especially as this would have plunged them into crisis.
