Manchester United v Manchester City - 3:30pm 29/10/23 - Official Match Thread

Mount for Eriksen at HT

VAR has ruined the game.

That was a very good save tbf we can’t say we haven’t had chances we just need to finish one.

We’re so slow making that killer pass. Few times now The Scottish Player and Eriksen have had an opportunity to make that final pass and haven’t done it

What a save

Eriksen. Christ. He can't start games.

Wowsers

What a save that is.

Save that

Absolutely everything about the club is thoroughly depressing. It’s £#%&!ed forever.

I don’t think we’ve been as bad as people are making out? Our game plan isn’t to have the ball, so it’s pointless to judge us on those terms. Our plan is to try and restrict City to as few chances as possible with all their possession, and then hit them with fast counters when we get the chance. We’ve actually done it reasonably well, we’ve had them scrambling in defence several times, but our final pass has been awful.

1-0 is probably fair, but we could easily have bagged a couple ourselves with better decision making.

£#%&! me what a save

Now that's a £#%&!ing save lad.

Still in this…

Tweaks in midfield and we get something.

That’s a shocking miss by Haaland, looked good by Onana but I’d be sickened if one of ours missed that

Garnacho on for Erkison. Just go for it.

Stat padding fish eating freak.

How is Silva given that much freedom time and time again?

Agree.

We started well and had a couple of decent chances. City started to come into the game a bit more but the penalty knocked the wind out if our sails.

We could have had two if our forwards acknowledged each others existence

Waiting for all of the pundits now to just say "Weeeeell...it is technically a foul so yeah, it's the right call"

£#%&!ing sick of these £#%&! decisions that nobody can challenge.

1-0 down at half time is actually alright. Totally still in it. They score next and it’s done though.

We simply can’t score goals. It isn’t a new problem either.

Yeah I agree. Nowhere near as bad as I was fearing.
