Let’s hope Ole sees it’s time to resign. Terrible sending out a team of top players who were absolutely terrified of the opposition, match lost before the kick off.

Ole got the tactics wrong. 3 attacking minded players in the starting line up. Should learn from that and add Matic instead of Greenwood for more protection for the inept midfield/defense.

Another easy weeks wages for our players and manager.

They must look forward to next weeks game and wages now.

Oh and don't forget the muscle emojis on social media!

Look at Ronaldo, he’s lazy and doesn’t track back hardly ever. Just hoof the ball up to Ronaldo and hope he scores. Not good enough.

Editing my own posts.
Worst it’s been post-Fergie with the fewest amount of reasonable caveats (bar the obvious one)

About the best that could be realistically expected under the current management.

No gameplan beyond parking the bus, and utter hopelessness all over the pitch. Outclassed. We looked like a relegation candidate huffing and puffing against a big team getting a routine win in second gear.

Have two weeks to sack him and bring in a replacement, which means he will still be here for Watford.

Well that was an absolute gulf in how to play football. More like a game of fifa than a top level game of football. I cant remember seeing a derby as frustrating as this one. The 6-1 was bad scorewise but it wasn't as humiliating in my opinion as today. It's as clear as day what is holding us back - whatever the feck is happening at carrington.

Ole is making our players worse footballers. Guardiola makes his players better footballers. 3 years is starting to catch up now and it's now embarrassing.

Outclassed. We could easily have been four five goals down by half time, and City didn't need to play anything like their best. De Gea spared our blushes, before he also let himself down at their second goal. However, he still easily our MOTM, in my opinion. Ronaldo tried his best as usual; Sancho and Van Der Beek showed some good moments when they came on, but overall we were easily beaten, Defensively it's a shit show match after match. Depressing times.

The positive is that it was only 0:2 against City and we haven't even started to play football!

What can you say. Just far far too easy for a very efficient City side.
United were dreadful. And that is being complimentary.

Similar outcome to Liverpool, just not the headline goals.
But that was just as comfortable a defeat as against Liverpool make no bones about it.

We needed Varane and Cavani in there, AND for us to play at our maximum for it to happen.
Neither happened, well beaten and we erm, move on then.

There was a period of about 5 minutes in the first half where we looked like we cared. Not good enough, nowhere near aggressive enough.

While their goals where jammy, the result was not.

Top reds happy with today’s performance I reckon? We didn’t lose 0-5 so I take it as a progress?

Honestly felt as inevitable as the City at OT game under Moyes

It’s depressing to be building up hate for a club legend, City didn’t get out of 2nd gear still hungover from the CL game. Someone said we had more shots on our own goal then City’s so that says it all really….

Ole is improving. After intense coaching he’s been taught how to appear serious after defeats and avoid smiling like a child. L

We can’t even do the simple basics, no watching the runner, no closing down, we let City play at will unopposed. I have followed United for 43 years, and I’ve never seen us play as gutless as this, yes we have played some poor stuff over the years but not gutless. Every player bar CR7 looks bereft of any confidence, and shirks from wanting to receive the ball, Ole has to go, people don’t seem to be able separate Ole the player from Ole the manager, 2 completely separate CVs.

Painful to watch. City had several gears more that they could go through but didn't need to.

I'm getting tired of this now. Just why did we miss out on Conte after Liverpool? What a mess of a club.

The coaching staff are very good, brilliant. Big games coming up, so no time to sulk, no time to feel sorry for yourself. We have to come together. Time to get over it as quick as we can. Individual mistakes cost us today, a bit unlucky with two goals conceded, game could've gone either way. Lads know they were not good enough and this is not good enough. We are so close and we can't give up now.
The lads.. the boys.. United DNA.. Sir Alex' day..

One of the worst United spells I have seen in my life.

Players aren’t good enough. This won’t be turned around with a new manager I’m afraid.
