United post-match thread

Why because he`s completely knackered (tired out NOT finished) ??

not finished in the sense of footballing, but i fear his days are now numbered at city, within the next two windows he will be replaced and in our history books

Shit from City.

Shit from Dean.

Lucky from United.

We were very poor, even the side we put out tonight should have been better than that.
I know it's not an important trophy in the scale of things but losing to those c*nts hurts at any time.

I would have thought their was only one conclusion from watching that match,
that the rags are real shit, considering the teams selected.

 

[cookster]

yeah, but some of the players are simply just not good enough. He is not magician after all. The Bayern squad he left, is clearly notch or two above, so it wasn't going to be perfect as he is not obviously changing his philosophy.

I agree with part of what you say but I think because the manager is called Pep Guardiola he's escaping criticism that he probably deserves. Not many trophies winners go 6 games without a win.

Maffeo and Garcia were great. Nolito too. Navas reasonable. The rest of them were awful. The worst Nacho has ever played.

Another display where we wouldn't have scored given 200 minutes. Toothless and spineless.

Some of the over reactions in this thread are ridiculous. We didn't play well, but it was our reserves against their strongest side (with a ref who was pretty one-sided). We made no real attempt to win the game, which is frustrating, but obviously the competition doesn't matter to the club in the scheme of things. You can't read too much into this result.

Found the Guardian's interpretation of events refreshingly novel:

"Mike Dean could easily have awarded a penalty as the midfielder was unceremoniously bundled off the ball by Fernando, and might have done so but for the ball running free for Mata to find Caballero’s bottom corner."

I jest not.

I wish I had 5 lines of coke like that Guardian journo has had.

Shit leftist rag wouldn'twipe my arse wih it.

Shit 2nd half and obviously if you take into account our game against Southampton where we created almost the same (that is, almost zero :)) chances as tonight, then it looks a bit weak, but considering the whole context... I'm proud of the team. Garcia, for most of the time, hardly looked worse than the world record signing, and while Maffeo was initially beaten a few times, he at least recovered absolutely brilliantly. Not something you can say of Zabaleta, sadly.

Overall, I'm very proud and if anything, seeing this game, this is really not the reason to panic at all.

Anyone pleased with the way we played , could and should have been 2 up at half time , impressed with maffeo and garcia , easy chance for Nacho and a nailed on pen , blatant foul for their goal , anyway feck em the futures bright for this blue

really pleased with he first half....agree we should have been two up at half time with the chances to create where we should have been more clinical in the final pass.....
