    There's no reason to do it. We have Ibra up top, and Fellaini in midfield. City have 2 more players up the pitch than typical teams, to close that down. Just hit up to the big men and look for drop downs, bypassing the City players.
     
    We could have 3 goals in that last 5 minutes, City keeper and defence just as shaky as ours today. Goals in this season half.
     
    As shit as we've been defensively, going forward we have created chances.

    Micki & Lingard need to come off. I wouldn't be against bringing Schneiderlin on & going 4-3-3. De Bruyne has been superb.
     
    I went with no skipper and Herrera in the team in my prediction as it's clear to anyone that 2 midfielders won't do against fecks 5.

    Captain has been good today but we need 3 in there.
     
    Lingard has definitely got money on City winning. Is there a minus setting in the performance rating? Mkhi not that better as well.
     
    Ibra should having 2 chances there. Got to take the chances seeing as the gk is rattled.

    Jose will relinquish midfield control. No point trying to beat a Pep team in midfield. He'll hit them on the counter with Zlatan being the hold up man. Their full backs have been abysmal and defence largely untested. Martial is going to have a field day.

    Personally I'd play Rashford on the right, so we have two flying wide men on the counter.

    Fellaini's first real test today. If he performs, I'l take back all what I've said in the past about him being the worst footballer I've ever seen.

    Ye. I'd still prefer to see this than what we've been served so far.
     
    Pobga ran down the whole pitch only to hand it to the city player in red, miki.
     
    Bravo having a mare so far. Great keeper imo but it should be 2-2 now and solely because of him.
     
    Mkhitaryan and Lingard have just not worked at all. Really poor strategy from Mourinho. Let's hope Bravo continues to be shite as the game goes on and we get Rashford and Martial on.

    I hope this defensive showing makes you all remember that Chris Smalling is easily our best CB.
     
    We definitely need to press them more, their defence is nothing to brag about.

    I'd get Smalling in for Bailly. Don't feel easy with a CB on yellow with a game of this pace.
     
    Been largely outclassed but only a goal behind. Mourinho needs to make changes....
     
    The way Pep plays his teams always dominate the ball. But they look weak defensively we have been shocking in the 1st half yet we could have scored a few. City's weakness is their defence. However with peps set up they don't get tested often. Zlatan nearly got another right at the end but didn't realise Stones was on the line.
     
    Rashford needs to come on and test bravo, or even Martial. We need suring up in midfield too. De Bruyne has been dominating us
     
    Lingard and mkhitaryan were brutal in that half. Mkhitaryan with some decent moments to be fair but got pushed off it a lot. Martial and rashford to come on for them.

    How the feck did ibra mess that up at the end though.... might cost us
     
    And people question why United need Rooney. One of the few players who are actually fighting for the team.
     
    I can't stand Pep. Shame it wasn't Zlatan in Rooney's position when Pep refused to give the ball to him.
     
    No honestly, that's not even funny. How did he not score that? He has so much space and time it was unreal. To go in at 2-2 at half time considering how we've played would have been huge
     
    theres so many changes that could be made, it's making my head spin. Gonna go smoke a couple of cigs cause this stress is killing me. Good luck, Mourinho.

    And feck Ibra, should have scored one of those sitters.
     
    We did better after their 2nd goal, as we need a motivation boost.

    Zlatan wasted a golden chance there, but at least we're getting into these positions now.
     
    Jesus, Mikhi and Lingard were absolutely shocking this half. Worst individual performances I have seen in a long long time...
