[Trophy Room]

Poor so far. We need to be more aggressive.

 

[KennyBurner]

This is embarrassing. they are pinging the fecking ball around us. Push out.

 

[Andycoleno9]

I don't see a point of having James as attacker. This is good lineup in general but he is out of depth there

 

[2 man midfield]

Because Aguero is a known speed merchant?

He’s always been quick though? Besides, it’s not as if he left Shaw for dead, it looked pretty equal.

 

[SAFMUTD]

I know we use James because of his speed for counterattacks but he is really limited, I would rather play Greenwood there.

 

[Kevin]

Watch someone say that misplaced pass from fernandes was due to Martial’s ‘poor movement’.

 

[arnie_ni]

Theyve such disrespect for awb going forward their lb is playing cm

 

[ArjenIsM3]

Yet in the pre match he said we’d be going toe to toe. Which I’m glad we’re not, we’d get bummed, but it’s weird he says one thing then does another.

Mindgames

 

[Snow]

The NBC co-commentators are so bad. Graeme Le Saux I think and someone else. Praising Dean for not giving Fred a foul because he did the same with Sterling earlier, talking about consistency when just 30 seconds earlier he gave Cancelo a free kick for the most obvious dive of them all when Shaw was pressuring him. They're always like this, can't remember something that just happened. Too busy trying to be funny which they never are.

 

[Adam-Utd]

We need to go back to 433 before it’s too late

 

[Tony247]

This midfield formation has no chance against these city midfielders.

 

[BusbyMalone]

We're way too deep here. Can't even break on them

 

[mitchmouse]

we are incapable of keeping possession and not getting the ball to bruno

 

[Sparky Rhiwabon]

Why didn't Ighalo start this game? This is a physical game we needed a physical striker up top. What does James offer?

He absolutely should be starting. Martial is not a centre forward

 

[Tom Cato]

Had to pick up the wife and kids, so missed the start, how have we fared? Good to see its still 0-0 at least.

City has the ball and the pressure but aren't creating anything meaningful. We've been closest so far, but poorly executed by Daniel James

 

[crossy1686]

Feck me City are boring to watch

 

[DWelbz19]

God, this is really difficult so far. Is ‘playing like it’s an away game’ synonymous with looking scared to play football?

 

[Alek M]

We need Mctominay is midfield badly!

 

[pseudo_canadian]

I'd like to know what warrants James starting. He offers nothing.

 

[kouroux]

We are watching them passing it around. Horrible viewing so far

 

[Tony247]

Bruno is being man marked. Absolutely isolated.

 

[Adam-Utd]

Last time we were on the front foot at OT against City we got rippped to shreds.

Bollocks, that was because we had jones in defence

 

[Verminator]

Getting smothered here.

 

[Escobar]

Feck me City are boring to watch

Yeah, unlike that amazing United team

 

[GifLord]

Martial dammit

 

[ThinkTank@Cafe]

Maguire’s ball control is under appreciated

 

[2 man midfield]

Unlucky Tony

 

[Josep Dowling]

What is it with us and not providing options on throw ins? I think we need a throw in coach like Liverpool

 

[Sassy Colin]

Not Jasper Carrot reffing our game again.

This basically means we are destined to lose.

 

[Godfather]

AWB and Williams doing feck all going forward. Zero. They just stop when we have the ball. What's the purpose of a 5-3-2 if your wingbacks don't join the attacks?

 

[Andycoleno9]

Tony...shame

 

[48 hours]

Feck, defender blocking that shot

 

[tenpoless]

3 5 2 isn't bad but I doubt our players are comfortable with it, the current ones playing, I mean.

 

[Jonno]

We need to go back to 433 before it’s too late

We got d!cked last time we played openly against City, I was there an it was naive and depressing.

We’ve carved out 2 of the best chances with none of the ball. As long as it stays 0-0 it’s working OK.

 

[SirAnderson]

That was a chance!!!

 

[Rado_N]

Are City fans really singing “Fergies right the mancs are shite”?

 

[48 hours]

Piss poor from Harry

 

[BusbyMalone]

Maguire having a stinker

 

[Alabaster Codify7]

Dan James is just not the same player as his first few games

Oh, on the contrary mate - he's EXACTLY the same player and that's the problem. Defenders got wise to him inside 3-4 games and our coaching staff have done absolutely nothing to develop or improve him, so he's no longer a threat at all.

 

[GifLord]

Martial chance
