We cannot build a good team with the centre backs we have. Every player knows they need to protect them and you just can’t do that at the top level.

How deep are you to unearth something positive. KudosWhen Fellaini is our best player it says a lot.fecking pussies, letting those midgets play around like that. Just put a tackle in their knees and stop it.
completely agree with this. shaw lost bernado at the back post. de gea's clearance catching the whole defence off guard and matic losing concentration.
We made this city side appear better than it is.3-1 is flattering on us tbf. Easy game for them you have to say. Not surprised either, which is the sad part.There wasn't much of a chance for us once Pogba was out for this game - no one to drive us from the middle of the park at all. Not a surprising result for me. Was more angry at the other results against the "lesser" teams earlier in the season.i want to give zero to some but once again we can'tOutclassed, outpassed, outfought, we are light years behind these cnutsDefence again
funny thing is he will be first choice next match. His first name is AutoDon't even want to vote on our best player. No one deserves any credit in this game, not even DDG this time.
And to think previous during saf reign we used to do thatMourinho can take Matic with him when he gets the boot
Europa league!
Fernandinho is 33. Woodward is clueless idiot. Sanctions for matic but not for Toby.
Both.Guardiola berating Sterling reminded me of when he did the same with Kimmich after they beat Dortmund.
He isnt sprinting for some time now, seems that doesnt matter. I dont care about excuses but there is no way in hell he came back from injury fit and ready, that was clear vs Spurs and things didnt improve one fecking bit but still in starting XI.I think we can put to sleep the Anthony Taylor bring a United fan, he was a homer ref today, even if we (imo) were the better team he gave United nothing
How many times did Young just allow Sterling to run off him, forcing Smalling to come across and deal with him. He can't dive in and commit in those situations, has to stand up, slow him down, and block as much as possible, any shooting or crossing attempts. Did that well, not much else a defender can do in that situation.How am i going to pick MOTM out of that.
Totally agree but most on here just spit the dummy.
It's collectively bad, I'm just pointing out he's not as good defensively as everyone thinks he is.
He has a very bad habit of assuming things behind him will be dealt with. He's not switched on enough.
So were most of their decisions
But that’s point. If our team makes any sort mistake and the opposition is allowed to run at us, there’s a good chance that they can walk right into our goal because our starting CB doesn’t understand basics of defending. It wasn’t special, just a regular one-two around Lindelof and Aguero was in. Shameful defending from utterly shocking defender.
Ball goes beyond Mendy who not only doesn't make any attempt to play the ball but instead elbows Sanchez in the neck. Sanchez tries to push past Mendy and you consider that to be a foul. Ref has been poor this match. Get of your high horse.It is what it is. $hitty are the much better club at the moment. They play some amazing football.
fecking gutted, we have such a long long long way to go before getting back up there with the top teams.
Blaming cbs ain't going to help when our midfielders say,, come dominate us and have a field day against us.On a positive, Liverpool knocked off top spot. That is the only positive.The MOTM poll has to be voided.
Struggling to think of one Utd player that got pass marksout there
Yeah we made this city side who broke records last season and added a £60m luxury player, who are at the top of the league, look good?
Blinkers.
Matic deserves the playing time. I'm going over my notes before the big Mourinho cult exam, and the Mourinho Law states that 0.5 games of a bad performance from Pereira is worse than 10+ Matic bad performances.We may move Jose on at the end of the season relatively comfortably if the rumours about his contract are true ie regarding no CL football but moving the likes of Jones,Darmian,Smalling,Lindelof,Matic,Valencia,Young,Fellaini ,and the list can go on and on, will continue to be a stone around the clubs neck.
Whoever the management expect more transition and some disappointing days.
Matic made a mistake for their third goal but let me ask you why was he last man after a 42 pass attack? Our centre backs are utter shiteThe spunking over this city side by Tyler is cringe worthy, they were hardly breathtaking for me (admittedly better than us but my god!)Look at the space Silva has.. Omg.n
not next season... maybe this if we blow it in valencia
That's the sad, but indisputable fact.
That's how we play, very often. We have been getting away with much against many teams, but we are a team, still trying to find an identity. We play week to week, but we aren't sure what we can expect at all.
What is sad, is that I do not expect much more.
City are a fantastic team though.
It’s all half-empty. I am more ‘for’ the considerable things that he CAN do right, which far outweigh his weaknesses. Anyone who continually speaks about Pogba in the negative, as if he is more a hindrance to the team than an asset is missing the picture.We did well to get back in the game but we’re chasing shadows for large parts. We were really struggling for energy just before their third. I can’t agree with people saying we were embarrassed. Defensive feck ups cost us badly.
Spot on. We need more players like Pogba, not donkeys like Matic.
You can put vidic and maldini there, it won't make any difference. Mourinho and his favourite matic is a disnasour.- Status
