United post-match thread

[gordondaviesmoustache]

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.

You know it's still October, don't you?

If someone thinks any game against these twats is meaningless then they don't work,drink or live next door to any of the fookers.
Thanks Pep for handing it to them gift wrapped-bit early for xmas

 

[Bruun]

But we are still on top of the league? (Sorry, bad joke).

No but in all seriousness, once again we aren't dangerous at all, all we do is pass, pass, pass. Like a bad version of Arsenal a few years back. Maffeo impressed me though, if i had to point out something. We are in desperate need of a plan B. No need to cross/Long corners with the players available in the box.

 

[Bozo]

So, so poor. Pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass nothing

 

[bondsman]

I also think hart would have saved that goal

Let's get pellegrini back then.

it was in a thread that has been merged titled have we really improved...And technically we havent

 

[Bootador]

Wouldn't it have been better to field a stronger team and get a derby win? No matter who you are not winning games affects confidence which you could see in some of our play tonight especially in the final 3rd. Maffeo and Garcia were excellent tonight though on a positive note but Pep needs to sort this out quickly.

Depends how it impacted our next 3 games, if we dropped points at either league game (Barca I'm expecting nothing but hoping more like) as a result of playing full strength here or lost one key player I'd be fuming.

 

[Blue_eyes]

Totally gutted , game was there to win, now cue the media wankfest while we get torn apart. If we are not taking it seriously then why bring players on to try to retrieve it later., our lads played ok but Im gutted.

 

[Chi-town blues]

This is football not instant coffee.
Every one needs to chill .
Mike dick is a dick... confirmed!

 

[Moveonlife]

I honestly do not know what victory feels like anymore

 

[Pell]

A full rag side struggled to beat our training team along with Mike Dean doing his best to help. We've just given them that bit of false hope that will come crashing down around them sharpish.

Totally agree. I thought Maffeo and Garcia played very well. Guardiola will have learned a lot tonight about who needs to go, and who's for the future. Most of that 11 that started don't play regularly for a good reason, and the difference showed.

We should go all out for Aubameyang in the summer, his style would suit us and the Premier League perfectly.

 

[Gray]

Rot started at Celtic when we failed to cope with their frenetic approach.

Since that game confidence has been ebbing away and we know to win a game we have to score at least two with our defence.

Problem is we are too slow all over the pitch (no improvement from previous managers) and have a distinct reluctance to shoot (same as previous comment).

If Pep is so good we are not going to see it with the present squad they are too dyed in the wool.

Forget the CL we are simply not good enough, we have to put our PL form right PDQ and hope for a good run in the FA Cup.

 

[marco]

far from happy, second string team or not, lets hope the line is drawn here or questions are going to be chucked at pep

 

[Bozo]

Not concerned, it's the league cup. Why are people so hung up on a result in a competition that's hindered us the last 2 seasons (as nice as it was to win it) just because it's derby. It's still a nothing game.

The run of form is worrying, but I don't see tonight as part of this.

So annoying to hear this. It's a cup competition and a consistent part of every football season. Yeah, it's the least important but we should be wanting to win this. Every team has to play it, it's no hinderance at all.

 

[BigOscar]

Jesus, this thread is a bit on the embarrassing side. Some serious bed wetters, you'd think our first team had just been played off the park reading this, not that our second string just lost thanks to a bent referee against a full strength rag side

 

[Gabriel]

I could almost forgive that if I thought we'd go down the Hawthorns and give the Baggies a proper drubbing. However, I don't think that's going to be an easy game at all, and with Barcelona looming,we could be in this rut a while yet.

 

[BlueTaylor91]

Pep has been found out! West Brom won't be easy. But they will play exactly how the other teams have worked us out. Sit back let us play then they score

 

[5948947]

We look like a completely different team of late. We're certainly not looking like the team we did at the beginning of the season. A total lack of composure, control and commitment. We're looking like Arsenal on an off day with all of the side ways passing shite (When we're not slipping on our arses) with no real end product. What suddenly happened to the work-rate, the closing down, the triangles and movement?

Errr.. Maybe because it was a completely different team tonight compared to the first 10 games?

 

[bluemoonste]

Maffeo looked good

the one shining light


 

[blueparrot]

I also think hart would have saved that goal

Didnt save the one for Torino tonight.
