Commentator on the place I am watching the match just said Man Utd go in to half time 1 nil up!?!?
Please...That Herrera miss sums our season up.
Only one good one. City have been shooting every time they get a sight of goal.Sorely lacking a final ball in this game.
Exactly, about 3 clear fouls on Martial, non given.
Oh Jesus fecking Christ.Good performance defensively. Tight game. Interesting too.Everyone expected us to sit back, but even when we get the ball we still look very reluctant to send more players forwardFellaini has been detrimental to our play today. Usually he his pretty good defensively but he keeps switching off. Needs to step up. The midfield needed more rotation this season. It wouldn't have harmed José to not play Pogba against Burnley and play Fosu Mensah instead.I could see us winning if we score instead of them.
Nowhere near both them have been poor. Need to get closer and press in the midfield and feed our front men better. Jose tactics spot on to allow them the ball and counter attack but needing our midfielders to be better. Fellaini is what he is but is effective. Herrera should have burst the net really bad miss.
Doesn't matter what our fans care. Away to City, no shame in playing this way. Their defense is there to be taken on the counter and we just need the ball in to them a little better.
And his record against City in the latter years was terrible.Reminds me a little of the Newcastle game in the 95/96 season when we got dominated first half and then Cantona won it for us late on.
Let's hope this time it's Rashford for the late winner
Yeah, for instance he would never play like this in 2012 in a title decider at the Etihad.
Oh wait.
2011/12 at their place we didn't have a shot on goal.Need to be more patient in possession. When we get the ball we play like it's 90 minutes and we need a goal.
hahahahahahaJust read the latest comments on here. I am glad I stayed away from this thread during the first half.
Exactly this. Never seen a side give away the ball so consistently through phases like that. Terrible. No wonder they get battered on the counter by teams that can actually do it properly.Need to have some composure in midfield. Our passing has been sloppy.
City have played at a very high intensity this half. They won't be able to keep this up. We will have more of the ball in the second half. Mkhitaryan has to step up. He has had a poor half.
2012 Man City away, we played worse.
Even the 3-2 later that year we sat back and countered.would have taken 0-0 at half time. Get to 65 minutes and start to target the full backs.
We effectively lost the title there is a game just as insipid as this in 2012.
Exactly my thoughts.We need to win this.
He did in that game in his second last season and handed the fecking league to them.
I dont agree with this. I think it is a good performance given we are in City. It will be tight. Hopefully we can get the luck.
People might see this nowOur problem is inability to keep possession. They press high enough on our players and we're too sloppy with the balls. There seem to be no link with the front 3 and no one is taking the ball forward. Mikhi is horrible with the ball under his feet and loses it every time hence no way to get the ball to the forwards and are depending on long balls especially with their high pressing on us.Suddenly the caf realises the importance of Pogba to this team.
Pogba and Zlatan are being missed big time for thisIs the ref not allowed to blow for a foul on Marital or something? 3 clear cut fouls not given.We werent fired up enough, its not there. Its like we dont want it and city want it more.
I think rashford hasnt been protected at all and ref has fecked a couple of chances for us.
Yeah he'd only go away to City for a title decider and play Carrick,Park, Scholes and Giggs together and lose us the tie.
Do we?Well that was piss poor, but expected. We were never going to play any other way.
