Yep, they only had few real chances, Haaland and that counter attack they had 1v1 with Onana. But stat merchants will say how they should have scored 6 or some clownish shit like that.

Can or a line?Besides Lindelof's defending and passing being pure virus, that's been ok. We have a clear gameplan and, for the most part, it's being well executed. Just need a little more composure when we have counter attacking opportunities.Also, maybe remove McTominay as he has been useless as well.
We need to hold the ball at least a little bit, can't keep relying on this luck lasting the whole match.Garnacho has offered nothing in the first half. Can't hold the ball up and hasn't been any threat on the counter either.
Another embarrassing postWonder strike from Rashford. He somehow finds a way to turn up in the big games, it's incredible. What a goal, damn.
Sensational display from Onana so far, as well. Best half of football he's played in a United shirt. The saves, the distribution, the proactive claiming of crosses, strong punches, the composure. No matters what happens in the 2nd half - that was a 10/10 display from him for those 45 minutes.The Haaland miss is as bad as that Torres miss.One way traffic for 40 minutes. We have been compact and alert to citys constant threat.
superb goal by us and with a touch of luck we had chances to make it 2.
Better than expected, a tough 45 minutes to come.We rode our luck a couple of times which was to be expected, and started quite well in terms of countering City. Unfortunately, as the game passed, we looked less threatening on the counter and City started to attack relentlessly.
Going into the second half, ten Hag needs to find a way to make us threatening on the counter again, otherwise its going to be a very long half.
Absolute nonsense. He has been fine, what exactly are you expecting, made the joint most clearances of any player on the pitch with Varane, completed more passes than Mainoo, played one of our best passes that half to set Garnacho away down the right early on and made a great run that helped on the goal.
If he isn't, he should be. Real schizoid antics from him there.
Yep, not just horribly out of sorts but not looking as if he’s busting a gut out there eitherFeel like our shape has been better with three in the mid. who would have thought
Very good.
No, stat merchants will say they should have scored 2 or 3 which is what the fecking xg is for
We Should have had 2 or 3 in that first half.Nearly forget to take a HT sh*t
Kind of wish HT could last a few more mins, so I can finish in the jacks and enjoy feeling like we might win…Massive 45 minutes ahead.. this would be the worst place to lose our long, proud record of never losing when leading at half time.Tweet
— Twitter API (@user) dateId stick with Garnacho, whilst the game is a little physical for him he is very capable of breaking away and scoring.. more so than any option on the bench. Hes worked hard too.
it's City, the same City who are resorting to pimping their trophies out to Girona as nobody over here is going to their stadium to lookHaaland's XG on that howler must have been at least 0.9! Crazy but I'll take it
Sidenote: How the blue heck have City not managed to sell this game out?
With what I thought was going to happen, Iam taking it
A fluke? Rashford’s goal catalogue says the opposite. He’s capable of the long range spectacular.
Not by any xG model man
Ah shit. Forgot about that. It's the only negative record Ten Hag hasn't broken yet
Would be a pretty strange place to lose a record that is only for Old Trafford, aye.also, Varane is the best CB at this clubThe worry for me is that the longer the half went the less threat we carried. There was one moment that summed it up where Dalot broke through the city midfield press but had literally nobody ahead of him so had to blind alley it.
That's only at Old Trafford.Potentially 115 can rack up 40+ attempts this game, don't know what the PL record is, but must be close? That 45 min shows that it's just luck, good GK and bad finishing that means its not 4-1...there is nothing in ETH coaching that takes credit for the 1-0 HT scoreline.Anyone think we will win this?Onana commanding corners well. Good catches.
Foden was clean through and after a while you can’t block every shot in the box as we’ve been doing.Rashford has been incredibly shite but scored a nice goal so fair enough. Jonny Evans and Onana have been phenomenal, Casemiro still two seconds late in every attack. Would be surprised if we don't lose.
Tbh the xG model in this game is skewed. It doesn't count the bad Rashford touch when he was clean through on goal because it wasn't a 'chance'.Not by any xG model man
Hes not exactly wrong.
The wonder goal is sandwiched between terrible performances. I can see how it looks a fluke. Or maybe if City equalize, he'll switch on again and drag us ahead.
