Both not good enough, harsh to put Jones and Lindeløf on a list to, but neither is quality needed
Hopefully we do a Spurs in the second leg if we can't winIt pisses me off. I was listening to the UWS podcast recently (great podcast) and unbelievably someone said OGS was doing a great job!
I think it was before the Watford game (that went well). I just don’t understand it. Do these people not care about the club? People keep pointing to games like Spurs and City (one-off games and short-term evidence) as proof that he is the man for the job long-term. Where is the logic in that?!
Also annoys me hearing weekly match goers talk as if their opinions carry more weight than others. Sure it would be more evident if they turn but I watch every game and go over to a few games a season so I don’t see what’s wrong with my opinion. I’ve seen enough to know he is not the man long-term.
Also his defenders biggest argument seems to be that he doesn’t have the players. I’m guessing they missed all the games this season that we lost to teams in the lower half this season then. I don’t know what the excuse is there because surely we have better players than Watford, Crystal Palace, etc.
+1Second half Fred and "quicksilver Matic" have been ok , considering!Decent effort that5 shots on target for Man City all night. Clinical.
He must be thinking a lot...Loving the passion from Williams. Happy to never see Shaw play another game for us.He dares to give a youngster 5 minutes in a game thats been dead for an hour. Thats very brave of Pep!Complete waste that.More please.Why can’t we take corners?Only watched since like the 70th minute. Bravo playing, shame we couldn't test such a poor keeper.
Yeah there is a lot of space in front of him and he runs into it, pretty simple and positive really.
1:3?Gomes is just a little lightI’m starting to think letting Rashford shoot from the corner flag might be a better use of corners than our current attempts.Waste of a corner...as usual.
Remembering to put one foot in front of the other takes every second is no mean feat..
They’ve been better but also very lucky.Gomes looks sooo casualShort corners
The short corners are beyond a joke now. Ole’s instructions pretending he has a clue.So frustrating.
We've got some decent attacking players and I think our full strength defence is decent BUT neither gets the support it needs from midfield.
A top Def Mid and a top attacking Mid and I think we're a completely different prospect.Racist prick is MOMCity slowed down but Matic change was the key
I've seen this group with LVG and Mourinho. Its not for lack of will. This group does not have the capacity to play that way. Pep could come to Utd today and would probably sell the entire squad, maybe sparing 4 or 5.
I remember both LVG season's, everyone complained about how boring it was, blaming LVG for setting us up like that tactically. In reality, our inability to pass and the hesitation of our players to make mistakes brought that type of football. It's like formula 1. A bad driver will lose you a championship with a great car, but he will still keep you amongst the front runners but if you have bad car, no matter how good the driver is, you will not challenge for championships. The squad is a bad car with bad parts. Don't expect miracles without changes to these parts.I bet these absolutely useless corner routines we use work a treat against our defenders on the training pitchWtf why doesnt Matic trust GomesThe proper midfield interplay between Matic and Fred has been nice this second halfSet piece coaches must watch our corners in disbelief.He's booked one of them for time-wasting after three warnings and he still adds onnothing on top of the customary three.
Actually he's given us half a minute due to the half-time sub. Generous Mikey!Must be said, at least we didn't spread this leg so wiiiiide open for them!
Excellent ball control though.Guy just pushes over Fred and Mike Dean gives nothingWhy didn't any fans or players scream for Fred to watch out
Matic has been arguably our best player since coming back into the team, which is an inconvenient truth as we were seemingly showing him the door.Amazing how on top of everything else, we're also shit at humiliating losses.
Mike Dean pointing dramatically to the goal kickPereira is such a garbage footballer
True, that 3rd goal, the luckiest of them. 1-2 and we would still be in the tie with a glimmer of hope, this...not so much.- Status
