Official Match Thread. Man Utd V Man City. 430pm Sky. 10/12/2017

Is it over?

Beaten by the better side but they're not that much better. De Gea barely had to make a save.

£#%&! off city.

2) City were always no.1 contenders to win it, no one in the league comes close, outside of the top 4 League is pretty average

So you agree with me then?

Deserved to lose, City were not even that great but it was pathetic from Utd from start to finish, bar 2 mins at the end of the half.

League over in December

It's only December etc.

At least it puts us out of our misery early on.

We completely froze today. City didn't even need to do much to win. Conceding those goals from set pieces is completely unforgivable. Especially wjen the margin for error is zero.



Lukaku is a horrible footballer.

Anyone thinking the league isn't over is completely deluding themselves.

14 wins in a row wins the league and they've done if because they are comfortably the best team in the league.

We have a squad of children.

When your only even vaguely promising openings fall to a total £#%&!ing carthorse, you’re in trouble. United won’t be bothering anyone decent with him up front.

Yes, the "BEST LEAGUE IN THE WORLD" is done and dusted before Christmas.

Whoever you support, that is a quite disgraceful situation which should prompt some overdue self-reflection from our media's hype merchants.

But you just know it won't.

Pogba getting sent off last week killed us, the one midfielder we have with attacking class, we need more, if the manager has his way, then half of our starting 11 today will be out the door in the summer, carrying too many passengers,

i remember when villa won the league in late november under john gregory.

Oh well that’s the title race done in £#%&!ing December

We were crap and the tactics first half especially were embarrassing to everything Utd stand for but if Lukaku wasn’t such a liability defending set pieces (as he has been all season) then we might have won that

City play a miles better style of football than us but they didn’t create a lot from open play and were far from their best so big opportunity missed

Only positives were Rashford scoring and Lindelof impressing again but that’s about it

They were a dozen points ahead?

Yeah they remind me of Villa.

I've defended him recently because he's contributed in little fits and starts.

Today, everything he did was horrific. Missing chances, poor link up okay, poor hold up play, bad decision making and at fault for both goals. He could have conceded at Arsenal last week. Panciking and brainless at both ends of the pitch.

He needs dropping for a while and starting all over again.

Oh come on. They've disappeared over the horizon. And we let them.

This.

embarrassing for both teams, really. city dived, niggly fouls, ran to the corner flag and scored two £#%&!ing lucky goals. if they'd had two players sent off and 15 minutes added, that would have been fair. oliver is gutless little @#%&!.

however, we could have played til midnight and not scored. no midfield, no comment.

Not so sure about that

We had them rattled early in the second half, sadly the second goal totally took the wind out of our sails

First half was garbage but they created £#%&! all for all their passing and possession and took the lead with a scabby goal, trouble was we weren't clinical enough and totally lost all composure

Big Linders needs to be our main centre half now, thought he was very good when he came on and can actually pass the ball out from the back

Herrera wasn't as useless as I thought he'd be either

Lukaku was absolutely abysmal, everything he did was useless.

We'll just have to beat them at their place. Pogba was a huge miss.
