Imagine going into the Euros with Bellingham,Foden,Kane & Saka & Southgate will try and play it safe
For gods sake donāt start the 10 page thread now. I need a day off.If City win next week thereās definitely going to be something ācontroversialā
City had;
74% of the possession
27 shots to 3
8 on target to 1
15 corners to 2
Thereās 18 points difference between 2nd and 6th but a galaxy between them in class. That was a demolition. Good thing thereās teams below Utd, that was relegation fodder.
Listen lad, I know you "support" (I use the word in it's loosest form) a tin pot team, but why don't you try and talk about them at least 1 in 10 posts?Get in foden. Knight him.
Bad day lad?Listen lad, I know you "support" (I use the word in it's loosest form) a tin pot team, but why don't you try and talk about them at least 1 in 10 posts?
Funny to watch.
It was positive until Foden turned up. Utd played the way I hoped, given the team they have. And City dominate possession against nearly everyone, even the best teams in the world, so that didn't bother me.It was strange after when listening to Neville and Co talking about the performance being positive etc - it was clearly better than last year when they were mullered but they played looking not to get smashed which made the game a bit dull with City just passing them to death.
It was a derby with no real passion
No way a keeper gets cramp. Not like the humid conditions thing like the WC have been played in where there may be a case. Poor acting imo.Anyone think Onana will get cramp again? A keeper, after 66 minutes

L4 0THReally strange for a West Ham to be so obsessed , but itās the same with the Barnsley fan
A question for the United supporters (and others if they want to chip in) - who out of the current squad do you think is good enough to keep (as a guaranteed starter) if you're wanting a team that will challenge for titles?
For me there's Onana (yes he's been poor but he was excellent the season before he joined United and I think that he will come good. De Gea was shocking at first but turned out OK), Martinez, Mainoo, Garnacho, Fernandes, Hojlund. The there's players like Dalot, Shaw, Varane and Mount that are probably worth their place in the squad and the youngsters like Malacia, Pellistri, Amad, Hannibal, Forson and Shoretire that you'd probably want to keep around to see if they'll make it. I haven't included Casemiro due to his age.
So by my reckoning United need two new full backs, a new centre back, a holding midfielder and another midfielder for their starting lineup for them to be competitive. That's quite damning when you look at the fact that they've spent over Ā£600 million in the last five seasons.
Something I've been thinking off, it will be interesting to see what happens. Who goes? Could be a few. But can't exactly go out and bring in many excellent players in one window.A question for the United supporters (and others if they want to chip in) - who out of the current squad do you think is good enough to keep (as a guaranteed starter) if you're wanting a team that will challenge for titles?

Thoughts on who you would have as manger pleaseThe scary thing is Man City never really turned up bar Foden and Rodri. KDB played a bit like he was the kid at school who owned the ball and tried too hard to run the game by himself. It got very predictable at times and Foden really stepped up when it mattered.
ETH set the team up well in the first half and Onana had a decent half too. In the second both were found out again and it was so one sided it become embarrassing. I thought Onana was at fault for the second and went down in installments then showed his usual weak wrists.
If Ratcliffe is as serious as he sounds, he needs to get the new manager in place ASAP so he has the final few months to look at the squad and start to implement his style. A chaotic pre season flying all over the world isn't the best prep, especially with European players being late back after the Euros.

The reason watching City is Dull is because Utd parked the bus from the very first kick off. They just left the doors and windows open.I agree the game was dull, especially if you don't follow either side. But watching City is always dull,
If City win next week thereās definitely going to be something ācontroversialā
You obviously didn't get the context I uses the word. I called them boring in the same way Max Verstappen is boring. Boring in the same way I thought Peps Barcelona were boring. Not boring like a Dyche's Burnley. I was also not implying Man Utd are exciting in comparison.The reason watching City is Dull is because Utd parked the bus from the very first kick off.

If City kick off next week Liverpool Will be all over them Like a rash in the first 10 minutes. To see a Utd team sat back like that is quite frankly shocking.
Boring City had 27 shots.
Utd had 3. And one of those shots was after the 15th minute.
So thats 75 minutes of normal play and 11 minutes of extra time from both halves. In 86 minutes of play Utd had 1 shot.
Now the term boring is not a factual word. It is a word that is open to interpretation from an individuals point of view. But I would suggest that Utd were a little bit more boring than City.
