We should be pressing them as soon as they enter our half.

Blaming the defenders for everything has long been a cop out.

Not out of this game though, Utd can be dreadful but still have the quality to create a moment or 2. Optimism proving difficult with how this is looking though.

Agreed.

We need to play fast attacking football. When they hold onto the ball the 2-3 Man City players pressure hard.

I'm surprised how good the silvas and even sterling are when it comes to winning the ball back

Feed Me · Nov 11, 2018

What is the point in even playing this game? We aren’t getting a fecking touch. We may as well walk off the pitch and take the 3-0 loss.

kouroux · Nov 11, 2018

12pts behind ffs. I would take 4th right now :lol:

The power of coaching mate.

City have more quality than us that is for sure, but it is pep who has them functioning at such a high level. Jose has us looking timid and clueless.

Even if he got Toby and willan, city would still out playing us.

This City team are so annoying. As a bunch of individual players and I just don’t see that much quality in there yet they storm past teams.

Aguero, David Silva and Fernandinho are clearly world class. The rest I wouldn’t be that fussed with them being at United. Obviously KDB if he started.

Putting a lot of players that can pass the football well on the pitch can yield good results.

What? I was merely enquiring as to why he is missing from the squad.

Replied to wrong person. Ignore it

Matic is being asked to play an advanced role, and guess what - he's equally shit there! If not, more.

Please someone get Sir Alex out of there before it becomes ugly. We don't want him to get ill again seeing us get torn to shreds.

pseudo_canadian · Nov 11, 2018

Poor Fergie, having to watch this shit. Again.

Even Fernandinho is pretty average for Brazil and wasnt anything special before Pep. Quality coaching does wonders when you actually improve what you have.

Just wached the first goal. No one had a single clue who should they track.
And why we always play like crap in first 40-50minutes ?

Jazz · Nov 11, 2018

Can we not press them? We're just watching them play around us. Fecks sakes man

UnrelatedPsuedo · Nov 11, 2018

What the hell is going on with Kyle Walkers socks?

Freak · Nov 11, 2018

I’m bored already.

Exactly. He's our most gifted and best player (shout outs to De Gea and possibly Martial/Smalling).

We aren't good enough to lose our best player and be competitive against the best team on the league.

They're missing KDB as well and he's their best player.

Difference is they have a well working system so they can afford to play without their best players, whilst we're dependant on moments of magic from our flair players (Pogba, Martial) to produce something.

MackRobinson · Nov 11, 2018

As Liverpool have proved time and time again, the only way to stand a chance against City is press them and get their defenders into 1v1 situations.

Men vs boys

Feels more like we’ve won a competition. A local side who won a regional cup and got to play the premier league champs as a reward.

Having Pogba would hardly change anything in our approach tbh.

Definitely, agreed. But it means that not all of our forward balls would go to waste. And he was pretty essential last season in this same fixture. We're just not good enough to lose a player of that quality.

PoTMS · Nov 11, 2018

Don't really watch a lot of City matches. Are they this dominant in all their games? We've hardly had a sniff.

They have higher standards, more pride and dignity than us.

Again feck Woodward and feck the glazers.

Thiim · Nov 11, 2018

Comparing the movement of the two teams, there's no way that City team is not up to their necks in PEDs.

Amadaeus · Nov 11, 2018

Martial and Rashford are playing in a full back role along with Shaw and Young. Brilliant!!

el3mel · Nov 11, 2018

How can anyone blame anyone for this result now ? I can't even blame the players. The gulf in quality is extremely huge that's it. They're missing KDB but still have David Silva, B.Silva and Aguero etc. We can win a one off match against them but 9/10 times they'll win.

Ashley R1+O · Nov 11, 2018

Scintillating stuff passing it around their half way line.

mattunited1978 · Nov 11, 2018

As predictable as anything. Awful team selection, awful tactics, awful defending. Same old Jose mindset, big match...Lets drop the players with any technical ability and wheel the donkeys out. That starting 11 is f'in embarrassing.

“Everything Manchester City have got they have earnt”

The irony.

Yes. They press high, keep possession, and swarm forward with numbers. They're miles ahead of us.

Christ Herrera.

Ffs dinosaurs in possession.

Yeah, money don't have anything with that. Give Fraudiola Everton or Spurs and they would be this good too.

6th is looking the most realistic, to be honest.

Herrera needs to wakeup

peridigm · Nov 11, 2018

Fecking Herrera.

Esquire · Nov 11, 2018

Smalling has got to be the most ungraceful player ever. When he makes a simple pass it looks so ungainly.
