Manchester United 1:2 Manchester City

Mr Pigeon · Sep 10, 2016

Well... This is, as we knew from the start, the difference in tactics between Pep and Jose in big games. It'll work against teams that aren't as dangerous as City in the final third, but since we ARE playing against City...

I'm not even mad. The second half is still to come and let's not forget that this is Jose we're talking about. I'm secretly expecting a Fergie-esque kick up the arses for our players after the break.

DevilRed · Sep 10, 2016

It's really embarrassing that citeh are the ones who look fresh and are pressing us. We look very slow and unable to string any passes together.

Random Task · Sep 10, 2016

Don't think I have ever seen so many misplaced passes from a United player in a single half before.

Astonishing performance so far.

Todd · Sep 10, 2016

This is just pathetic

And they're without the best striker in the league, no less

City will walk to the title this season

Walters_19_MuFc · Sep 10, 2016

Rooney and Fellaini candidates to be taken off. They are probably our best players, which is not saying much but, they're showing a bit of feking passion. Neville's a fecking arse.

kiristao · Sep 10, 2016

Forget 50-50, we have barely won a 60-40 challenge yet..

R.N7 · Sep 10, 2016

United still getting done by hard pressing in '16

Looks like we are not as good as we think we are, but today off all days.

Aye, I was surprised at how many people think we're going to win the league and how many thought we'd win today. A long way to go with this team and it's still a team that includes players ahead of players that should be playing, until that is rectified, at most we'll be in a battle for 4th this season.

mav_9me · Sep 10, 2016

This is on Mourinho. He has gotten it wrong with our line up and then of course the players haven't quite done it whatever he wanted anyway.

ash_86 · Sep 10, 2016

Decisions had to be made and it needs to start from Rooney. Cause every other player knows they could be repaced

JustAFan · Sep 10, 2016

We suck

gbgary · Sep 10, 2016

if we don't stop reacting and start imposing it's going to get ridiculous.

JTW95 · Sep 10, 2016

They are just incredible when they dont have the ball.

mitchmouse · Sep 10, 2016

!00% what I was afraid of... totally outplayed by a way better team with a way stronger squad. Been saying for ages we would regret not getting involved in biding for De Bruyene. Miki loks lost, Lingard is whatI've always said: not even close to being good enough. Blind at fault for first goal but also DDG was totally ineffectual. I hate this "give him the eyes" nonsense: as a kid you are taught to watch the ball. Zlatan also anonymous

GifLord · Sep 10, 2016

f..g off rooney

Nah, its not pep that our players are not showing enough passion/challenging, aren't aggressive, waiting for the ball to come to them etc.

Keep underrating him as an innovator, his teams have a distinct playing identity

So does Mou of course

Irrational. · Sep 10, 2016

I can't see a glimmer of hope that we're getting back into this.

Raw · Sep 10, 2016

City are going to absolutely boss this league unfortunately.

3KDré · Sep 10, 2016

wtf G nev? Supposedly Fellaini needs to come off.

BringNaniBack · Sep 10, 2016

It appears as if we are playing with 9 men. City have that much space.

That's the sort of player we need at #10. Whenever someone says Rooney had a decent game, they should watch De Bruyne

Pep even got him to press. He won the ball several times. It is fecking depressing at the moment.

ManUnitedCanuck · Sep 10, 2016

They win every ball...how can't we even win headers when we have the height and size advantage?

Not even mad. They are way better than us

Pretty much my thoughts. that and feck Rooney.

Djemba-Djemba · Sep 10, 2016

Rooney is fecking hopeless

Looks like our defence can't handle them

They can, but they can't by just standing there. They need to at least make an effort.

Kostur · Sep 10, 2016

5 City players in the box, just Zlatan and Rooney tries to fecking cross it to him.

Android1974 · Sep 10, 2016

Mourinho's never good when he's undecided. This is a undecided tactic. He should've started defending, controlling midfield… or go fast attack.

Bloxy · Sep 10, 2016

Rooney is just so awful

Shark · Sep 10, 2016

Another false dawn then lads?

Jazz · Sep 10, 2016

We've aet up all wrong, using the wrong personnel at key points. Feck sakes we could be done to 5th at the end of the day (sigh)

Varun · Sep 10, 2016

Rooney is showing a lot of passion but fecking hell, he's declined as a footballer. Just not good enough.

C3Pique · Sep 10, 2016

Rooneys been poor but Mkhitaryan and Lingard have been invisible.

Chicharito_ · Sep 10, 2016

Mourinho has got Valencia rolling around now..

Rado_N · Sep 10, 2016

Filthy cnuts

SwansonsTache · Sep 10, 2016

We will never again win the league as long as Rooney plays for us.

Theon · Sep 10, 2016

Rooney is absolutely dreadful

17 Van der Gouw · Sep 10, 2016

Well, in the 2011 charity shield we came back from this scoreline to beat City 3-2...

saivet · Sep 10, 2016

Horrible tackle from Otamendi

El Zoido · Sep 10, 2016

Otamendi should have walked for that.
