Well said Ole, should have gone further and suggested these refs are beguiled by these city cnuts, they foul all over the pitch constantly and rarely get punished.
g = window.googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; window.googletag = googletag; googletag.cmd.push(function() { var interstitialSlot = googletag.defineOutOfPageSlot('/17085479/redcafe_gam_interstitial', googletag.enums.OutOfPageFormat.INTERSTITIAL); if (interstitialSlot) { interstitialSlot.addService(googletag.pubads()); } });
wtf are you on about?Did Gary Neville play 400 games for city? Fred taking that free-kick sums us up in a nutshell. People saying it won’t happen but Ole WILL tarnish his legacy is he stays here long enough.
KdB:We played a side with incredible physicality. The goal was from a set piece. The first time they shot on target.
In both games we were better. I am so satisfied with the players, and the way they play with the problems in the back four.
I can't really comprehend how we lost this game. For me Manchester United didn't have one chance today. In the end, good we go through.
I think we got sloppy. The goal we did not clear the lines well and out of nothing they scored. You can tell me if they had a chance again. We fought when we had to and will learn from the mistakes.
"If we win the final no-one will talk about this game. The final is a nice day and we will fight to win the cup. If we do it will be nice.
They just played a match at a highly competitive level. Most people would still be worked up.Pep and the City players are so incredibly bitter post-match:
Pep:
KdB:
They are, and always be a small-time club.
Ok DoomerWe're going nowhere as a club and some are running around here saying we should be positive. How does that make sense?

Working hard is the minimum you expect from anyone in any profession.Fred has been very good. Works hard, wins the ball back, moves the ball on well, receives the ball in tight spaces. Matic is back up to the back up.
This was Ole's opportunity to bring up City's persistent tactical fouling. Until someone speaks up and makes a fuss, refs will keep letting them go unpunished.Tweet

Technically it's a win as we won two halves and they only won one half.They won one leg, we one the other. I’m marking that as a draw.
Their right side was wide open, so this game would have been perfect for Rashford.How? We hardly ever got the ball into their box.
Emm.... about that. They are funded by oil. If they had no oil money, pep would not be with them.Not even close to good enough. Manchester City wasn't even considered a rival in the 2000's and we used to blow them away with ease. Now we are smaller than them. Don't care about the performance, only about the end result which is, we're out of the competition.
He’s right tbf, and at least he’s calling out their tactical fouls.Tweet

Dont buy the depleted statement, we should have replaced Ander and Fellaini. we knew both were off by March a year ago. He did not get Bruno because he saw it as not a priority area, that is incompetence.i agree he can only work with the tools he has, but firstly the tools he has he chose to be left with, he forgot about his young tools and finally, he forgot to oil them, or in simple words, coach them. At the start of the season, first 4 or 5 games we had everyone fit. I see no progression in the style of play. Players passing backwards in 93.35 min of the game is shocking. He needs to coach them to be urgent, ping the ball forward and have players to run to it. From the 88th minute, we had 6 minutes left. We should be going for broke. Instead we had zero shots and a wasted free kick. That is partly down to coaching. You can have the best tools but you need to oil them and use them properly. Ole is clueless.Beat Pep twice this season though, only manager to take points of Liverpool.
This side is depleted, if we had Pogba, Rashford, McSauce and Bruno the game plan and scoreline would have been very different. He can only work with the tools he has and he has done very well.
And yet it is repeatedly missing.Working hard is the minimum you expect from anyone in any profession.
In a midfield 2 you need to be top draw in either protecting the
back 4 like a Keane, Redondo, Gattuso, Kante, De Rossi or Makelele
Or a great passer from deep like a Carrick, Alonso, Scholes, Pirlo or Xavi.
Maybe just maybe you could get away with carrying someone like Fred in a midfield 3 but you must have 2 players with the quality of Pirlo and a bang on it Pogba
Its odd. We seem to freeze at OT against City.Weird in this matchup how you tend to do much better in containing Man. City at Etihad than Old Trafford.

Yeah, wrong on both counts there my man. Derbies were never fun, regardless of when during the past 2 decades.Not even close to good enough.

It does sound bitter but objectively what they're saying isn't factually untrue.Pep and the City players are so incredibly bitter post-match:

So in training Fred is good but in game, he can't reproduce? Someone needs to train even more than.Tweet

It's very untrue. KDB said exactly the same thing during the WC when he lost to France, along with Hazard etc... for me, this is just the sign of a player who doesn't have the winning mentality. Just a sore loser. At United, we should make an habit of spanking these kind of players. Hopefully, Ole starts doing that going with our players.It does sound bitter but objectively what they're saying isn't factually untrue.
That doesn't have to be mutually exclusive. We can all agree that CRonaldo has a crazy winning mentality but he's also an incredbly sore loser. Look at his comments after Portugal drew Iceland in the Euro 2016 group stage.It's very untrue.

Yeah, well I didn't want to use another word on a forum, but for me, KdB is miles behind C Ronaldo when it comes to getting the winning mentality. He's just a baby really. That comment he had after losing to France was ridiculous at best, and here, it's the same thing. You couldn't finish off your chances, and you conceded a goal, that's how it works. Nobody says United was to win when they go and waste chances in all those games we couldn't score despite having the chances, and then conceding the goals to either share or lose points. Same story, end of story.That doesn't have to be mutually exclusive. We can all agree that CRonaldo has a crazy winning mentality but he's also an incredbly sore loser.
