He’s actually the best against the low block of the last few seasons is too go by. This match was 50/50 and on another day City could of won. They played well it was a good match and not much too read into
'Pep' Guardiola sack watch

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
What did they create? They had one chance when Sterling and Bernardo hit the bar from 2-3 yards out, but that was it over the 90 mins.
Clear cut not so much I meant in the way they kept getting into great positions and screwing it up.
KDB chance, Sterling Chance and in the 1st half Sterling and Bernardo miss plus Diaz header
And so United have not spent lots of money on a vast number of 'B' Players
Not attacking you (your words) just saying you comments were pathetic. Who knows what the future will be 2 champions League on the bounce ?
The Sterling and Bernardo miss I'll give you (as I mentioned them too), but KdB chance? Sterling chance? Diaz header? I wouldn't say these were clear cut chances by any stretch. The KdB chance wasn't even a chance as he didn't touch the ball and Donnarumma got there first.
City had lots of the ball, but they hardly laid a glove on PSG over the course of 90 mins (other than the Sterling - Bernardo moment).
Donaruma saved a Mahrez freekick, a Mahrez lowshot, from KdB and the Sterling/Bernado chance. Those I can recall
Would you call them a chance? Or a shot on goal? My own understanding of the word chance is a shot or move with a high probability of resulting in a goal.
I understand what you are saying but PSG had barely any chances either and my point was this game could of went anyway.
They would’ve won on another day, but this is the funniest type of loss so I’m happy. That Sterling and Silva miss was comedy.
He should be sacked, but I’m too afraid they’d go after Ole so it’s best if he stays put.

They should have played Everton on 28th Dec with just a 2 day break but pulled out on very short notice then had an 8 day break to refresh themselves for Chelsea in the League and United in the LC semis. They went on to win both games easily and never looked back.
After the Everton game's postponement they won an incredible 18 games on the bounce which sealed the title for them. I think the extra rest over the holiday period was the catalyst for this
So so funny. Congrats.
They have played 10 games this season and haven't scored in 4 games.
They are a bit indifferent so far they are either scoring 5 or 6 a game or none. See the disappointing thing so far this season is us dropping stupid points if we are to challenge we needed too open a gap while City were dropping points as they tend too go on runs and win 10 in a row
Yeah, they create lot of chances every game. They drop points only because of their poor finishing.
They look poorly coached under Pep - pass pass pass pass and nothing. Totally toothless.
The doubled-edged sword of playing 6 midfielders.
Rubbish. They just made the mistake of not signing a CF. And of course teams that win big titles have dips every now and then.
I suspect the rematch with Jesus and Torres from the start may have finished different. Whenever you see Sterling on the team sheet these days you can expect a City choke.
Yes! When Sterling or AKe start you know City will struggle a lot and likely not win.
It was a bit of a joke tbh, but if Ole had put that our last night and failed to score against a low block he'd have been slaughtered.
Forget about Pep, when is Klopp leaving??
They won the title last year somehow without a striker. Even though they are favorites this year as well; but two years in a row winning the title without a striker will be a big ask. We have at least 5 strikers that would start in their team:
1) Ronaldo
2) Cavani
3) Rashford
4) Greenwood
5) Martial
Pep has really been criminal in not sorting out that area of the pitch.
Martial?? Nah not really.
I would still have him instead of Jesus. Martial has been exceptionally poor this season but I feel that is more down to he has given up on his time at United rather than being a terrible player.
Yes because he wins feck all.
Martial not really being a striker is the main problem.
He's not really a wide forward either.
I would love to see these lot drop down into the Europa League this season.
It really is shocking how a manager who has won everything in his career and three of the last four league titles gets treated differently, and is given more leeway than a manager who has won zilch.
Fair enough, but he's been persistently poor in the Champions League. We already know how the story will go - City (if they get out of the group) will get knocked out by a tactically superior team that stifles their attacking options and exposes their poor defence.
It's a shame RBL are so whack now, can't see Brugge and them nicking enough points off City sadly. Would be genuinely hilarious if they did drop out though
No patterns of play, must sack him ASAP
It's weird with Feral Torres. Any time he does seem to start he seems to bag, but I don't think he's ever given a full run out to try and make the no.9 spot his.
A billion pound plus spent and still not won the CL. Guardiola doesn’t seem as animated this season as he has been. They have been lucky against Chelsea with yet another deflected goal and were toothless against PSG. DeBruyne’s tackle was a straight red in CL footy but he got a yellow. Bet he serves a ban before the rematch with PSG. Guardiola is in a good earner at Citeh, £19m a year is rumoured so he won’t walk away yet.
Not getting carried away because they were shit last season until about November.

True.
Imagine spending billions only to end up getting eliminated by Moyes.
Yes, just imagine that
To be fair, he did have Zack Efron in nets.
