Oh give over ffs
How did Fergie play when we went to the Etihad in 11/12 season? It's like some of you have no memory bank.
This is our template away from home especially in Europe or when we just need to not get beat. Stop bringing Fergie into this discourse.It willl be hard to win this one, Fellaini needs to win more balls and pass better, but Carrick also needs to be a bit more effective in the distribution. Or maybe opt for someone very mobile like Lingard?We need more pressing from the front, Lingard for Mkhi will do that.
Exactly. We played exactly like this when Kompany got that goal in the last few minutes a few years ago.
Yeah. Would be nice to get one of those free kick thingies this half.We need to try to test their GK, Bravo is not good enough.This thread
It was a good first half, I can see us getting stronger.Pretty decent half, all things considered. Seems like not losing is the priority for both sides.
I think Zlatan's ability to hold the ball would allow the wide players to run in behind and get a few chances.
Horrible, just as so much else in the production. Why do we need to see close-ups of players, managers and spectators when the ball is in play? Infuriating.
It's fecking weirdIf there is to be a winner it will be United.
Without Silva we are struggling to create and our finishing/shooting is crap.
Yep, I am hoping that Jose is going to address that in the second half.
Bit of a bright start, forced Bravo to make a mistake but couldn't take advantage. But then it was pretty much all City. Herrera had a huge chance near the end of the first half though.
Like one of your haircuts.Fine first half considering the circumstances. 2 big chances created despite City having 65% of the ball or so.
City only had one big chance and 3 long shots where DDG had a perfect view.
Doesn't work, not even as irony.
He's done well defensively but lost the ball cheaply a few times too. Mixed bag. Good work rate, I'll give him that.The difference bum Mkhi and Mata is obvious in this game. Mkhi hides when things go tough. He is supposed to be the one driving us forward. We need Lingard there at least he has ballsBailly has been good, Valencia has been excellent.
Their midfield has been dominant though.
He never does that in the big games anyway. So I don't see any difference.Their defence is just so bad at defending it'll feel like a missed opportunity if we don't take at least a point. They are there for the taking, it's just whether Jose wants to risk a point to get all 3.
Yep. This will likely happen at some point in the second half.I'm quite happy we're set-up like this because I think we'd get humped otherwise. We look like we can nick it on the break.Mikhi and Martial have to up their games. Fellaini is just not releasing those passes quickly enough even though he's breaking up City's play a lot. We need to do better in the midfield but I guess it's down to available personnel. Biggest let down today is Mikhi. This is supposed to be his game. Too weak, too casual, losing the ball way too much. He's like minus one. The defence has been superb.
The only way we can win this is to take one of those rare chances. We are just not offering much going forward. City is too comfortable.
We didn't sit back against Chelsea, we had lots of possession then.
Pogba, Jones, Rojo, Smalling, Ibrahimovich, Mata all out. Makeshift team holding its own away in a tough game is impressive.Perhaps the people who don't understand football now understand what Pogba brings to the midfield?Its been clear for a few years now that fellaini is not the high ball specialist he was supposed to be. He cant bring or chest a ball down even if his life depends on itCan't wait until we build a team capable of playing City off the park. It's been almost a decade since that was the case.I actually forgot that fat Frank played for the cnuts.
Exactly. If José has set the team to sit back and invite pressure, that's up to him. My problem is the moment we have the ball, we have no clue what to do with it but just lump it with the hope that it gets to Rashford. Surely every good tactic must include instructions when you're in possession of the ball What about LVG?
He controlled half of the ball and wonSo we go again. Just need to press more. That being said a 93rd minute winner would be just dandy!
Not sure...was stunned you did not score about min 30 to 40.The problem is we can't really be too gung-ho and push up because KdB will find a killer pass to Sane or Aguero and then we're fecked. More of the same in the second half I reckon.
City players also wouldnt be kicking lumps out off him
He would have had a field day threading passes behind that high line. How people can't see that is beyond me.
Yeah, in fact we've offered more of a threat upfront tonight than we did that night.This goddamn Volkswagon commercial is driving me up a wall here. Oh and I think it was a pretty even match. We should really stop dilly dallying in the midfield — Mkhi has been guilty of this the most. Bailly too. I'm confident this second half.- Status
