Bruno and Pogba sloppy in the final third.
Could go either way.We really should be playing better. Their defence is there to go at and we're letting them off. Shaky moments at the back but you get that against City. Hopefully our bench is stronger; they have Aguero and Jesus but can't be 100% fit or one would be starting.
Last game was the same thing and we got away with luck. Coaching staff must have vision problems.Why do pro footballers spit so much? I play football and I can safely say that I don't do that, nor do I really see anyone else doing it around me.Tense game, really not a lot between the two sides these days which in itself is a sign of our progress (or their regression if you want to be a glass half empty type)Better than the last Game when we met. City are more dominant, but, I expect us to be more clinical and punish city from a mistake or counter. Hard to call the game as if city keeps this up, they may score If they are clinical. I feel they will benefit more from having aguero on the pitch than Mahrez.Decent half I thought, Rashy should have done better when it was chipped in and if not for Bruno’s poor pass at the end he could have been in.
Cracking strike from KDB against the post.
Two evenly matched sides it looks to me.
What a weird response to mention my username. You still in the playground? Too many stripes on your trainer, pal.
Why would I change my username?Bruno so needlessly wasteful on three or four occasions there. Maguire having a great game so far.
If we can wake the feck up with our final ball there are goals here for us.we look in decent shape in this match
getting loadsa space on the counter but been a bit sloppy with the chances
Looked like shoulder to me, but a replay would've been nice.
To be fair he often does when he’s not scoring or assisting. That’s what makes him such a good player he’s constantly trying things and his output is very good. Sometimes though he needs to keep it simple and not rush things, which is surely something that will come over time.We've ok. Solid enough at the back and progressing the ball nicely through the thirds. Credit in particular to Fred, McTominay and Shaw, while Bruno, Pogba and particularly Rashford have been very wasteful at key moments in a way we'll rue if we're beaten or taken to penalties later.
Not the best half, can see how good this city side is when they want to be.
They always turn it on at old Trafford i swear
Started off promisingly enough, end-to-end action and all that but then it has degenerated into the same sloppy awful mess that the league game was.
On our part it doesn't help that both Pogba and Bruno - nice shot aside - are playing terribly. But it's also plain to see that City are not the force they were a couple of years ago. Still far superior on the ball to pretty much every team but just seems to lack that bite.Way too sloppy on the ball, they've been sharp but we've had plenty of space to do a lot more with our chances. Bruno sloppy, rushing things. Pogba sloppy touch. Martial alright but quiet, Rashford been good. Shaws also been good. Wan bissaka doing nothing against Foden.
Feel lucky that we aren't behind, even though they have created loads, but more just because of the space we've given them and some individual badp
performances.
yeah good luck with that as its like he is scare to put in a bloody tackle and yeah he waves him arms at people to tackle, wont stay in position and leaving us short on the right side, either put he back on the left or take him off as its like playing with 10 unless it suits his ass to put in the effort
We were, but it doesn’t matter today
How has pogba been poor? He's only given the ball away once and has retrieved the ball about 3 times.
He's been good.The half got very scrappy as it went on, we need a bit more precision on our counters.If we lose this game it’s on both Bruno and pogba sound idiotic flicksBest half I've seen from us all season. We're up against a city team firing on all cylinders. We're holding are own matching them, every player looking sharp and we're looking dangerous on the attack and composed at the back. Credit to all our players so far today!Van de Beek still 6th in the picking order in midfield, Bailly and De Gea out...ok.
Is there VAR in this cup?
You play it at that tempo, regular sized pitch for 90+ minutes twice a week
I don't think it's tiredness. That's just him. He's obviously brilliant for us, but he's also very sloppy and casual in possession quite a bit.Very entertaining game. Good watch so far.Pretty much everyone besides our centre backs have been underpar. We look so disjointed going forwards, not helped that none of our players can seemingly control a ball.I actually think we're pretty comfortable since that opening salvo. We're just as dangerous. We've wasted a few great positions, Bruno uncharacteristically poor in those areas so far. I feel pretty good about the whole thing.Martial and rashford have been very good. Martial holding up well and rashford making good runs.Poor in the final third. Midfield look decent and we have defended well.
City have adapted to stop our counters,but we still should hurt them more.Pogba better than Bruno in that half.
Great running by Rashford, ball needs to be released sooner.
McT doing his job well, would like Fred to get on the ball more, been very quiet.
Shaw also having a decent game.Fine to let them have the ball and then attack when we get the ball but, bloody hell, the few times we do the ball, surely we can do better than just giving it straight back. Bruno with that stupid pass at the end and then Shaw can't make a simple pass without hitting one of their players.
A bit more care with the ball is called for in the second half.
I thought I had missed, but obviously not
Definitely looked worth seeing
You sure that is not based on result over 90mins?That was an excellent first 30 minutes. Intense, quality football. Utd kept shape well, very good playing out from the back. But we crumpled a bit after that Sterling break that Shaw miraculously cleared up.
can't believe the Bruno critique here, come on! Pogba good too, IMO.Been watching this waiting for the power to go out. Guess our countries incompetency has a small positive now and then.
Pep has his random moments like that one. Out of nowhere he's just lamenting to himself.- Status
