United thread 2020/21

[paulchapo]

Noah fence but how the hell did City lose yesterday?!

Plenty of valid reasons in our after match thread. The main points are:

1: Wrong team selection. Bernardo, Foden and Walker should have started

2: Jesus pressing and hacking away as if he was in their box, the problem was he was in ours and gave away a needless penalty after about 90 seconds.

3: See above. The last thing you need is to go an early goal down against a team like the rags whose whole game is based on counter attacking.

4: Lots of players choosing yesterday to have their worst game in months. KDB being shoehorned into a side that had managed brilliantly without him and as a result disrupting our rhythm and effectiveness.

5: Jesus, Mahrez and Sterling all proving what we already knew, they are just not clinical enough in front of goal, especially against better defences.

6: Pep being Pep and totally getting his team selection and tactics wrong against the rags. Not for the first time.

More a culture of entitlement.

This all over, epitomised by the phrases
'(because) this is Man United' and 'it's in our DNA.'

Both of these presuppose the reason for their success is an ingrained product of what they are (factors seemibgly impossible to replicate, but also out of their control, meaning they don't have to try) as opposed to what they do/how they do it (factors wholly dependent on the effort applied).

This is why such people find it to hard to change when things get tough.

Henderson will be Engerlands number 1 now he's getting a run of games.

Rumours PSG want the Alpaca.

Have we ever got a penalty against them?

I remember Keith Curle scoring one at the swamp. It must have been early '90s.

There wasn’t so much as a peep out of any of the rags at work this morning.

It was as if they can see the bigger picture and know that we are far superior to them.

I actually rate him to be fair.
Wouldn’t swap him for our Eddie mind.

Hopefully it's just a blip.

I remember Keith Curle scoring one at the swamp. It must have been early '90s.

April 92 , was right in front of him when he scored, a City fan ran on pitch and jumped on him, brilliant atmosphere, was a section of blues in the stretford end corner too.

Anyone’s better than pigford.

And it was after they’d taken the lead and we’d had Dissa Pointon sent off.
