Rod Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Rashford and Martial are actually painful to watch. So dim-witted. I know what you mean but it's mainly Martial. I'm never sure about him. Is he good, great, average? I can never tell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Rashford and Martial are actually painful to watch. So dim-witted. I know what you mean but it's mainly Martial. I'm never sure about him. Is he good, great, average? I can never tell. Honestly they're both the same person. I feel the exact way you said about Rashford too. There is so much ability there but my God the opportunities they spurn in fantastic positions is unreal. Can't imagine what this Man Utd team would be if you switched them out for Sancho and Halaand.

Froggy Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Another big game Fernandes hasn’t turned up for. What? :lol: Defensively brilliant and was always available on the counter, and also scored. Some of the balls with the outside of the foot to release James and Rashford were divine. Feared the worst today, but fantastic from Ole and the team. The high press shocked City early on, and we were the best side in the second half. Can't remember any clear cut chances really for City, whereas Martial should have buried a third goal for us. City 21 wins in a row and completely neutralised. De Bruyne nonexistent. Bruno scoring. Couldn't have went any better today to be honest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Shaw should be starting for England at left back. No doubt. Been amazing this season. Seemed like City should have got back in it before half time. Game was over before 50. Man U looked comfortable after the Shaw goal and City ran out of steam and ideas. They’ll still walk the league. But you’d be fuming as a fan! To fuck up your streak like that against your rivals. I yearn for more than a one win/one draw undefeated streak just a win would be nice.

Incognito Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 McTominay is Man U's most important player. Think he's fantastic. Solid yet does some great stuff at the other end of the pitch too. Contrast him to Rodri who , in my opinion, they paid way over the odds. Fred is criminally under rated too. City should be starting Foden every week too.

Froggy Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 I completely agree but Fred was woeful today. Still, even when he plays bad he puts himself about and is a nuisance for the opposition. Fred and McTominay is always the go to for big games as they generally tend to nullify the oppositions most dangerous players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you expecting us to do when we go to Man City? We always have been a counter attacking team anyway. Fergies teams were built on it. There's counter attacking and getting completely dominated, which is what the first half was. We've seen it all before, it's the simplest game plan in the game, quiet effective in a specific set of circumstances like today, but will do no good to help any of your issues Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froggy Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 We were the better side for the first 10-15 minutes. And if my completely dominated you mean they had all the ball without creating anything then aye we were completely dominated. The better side won today.

triggs Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Also football is different now to Ferguson's time. The lesser team in a game defends with 11 men behind the ball for the whole game in most games now. I'm sure there was some mad stat going around last season where the amount of games where one team had more than 70/75% of possession had happened more in one or two seasons than in the rest of the years of the EPL combined. Dominant teams win league titles, that's why City are 11 points clear Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the wrath of many I posted some of the Sky footage from the 0-1 defeat to Man Utd in 1996 in the on this day thread, those covering the game sound taken aback when talking about the fact that we had 61% possession. Think one of our games under Rafa v Man City ended up with us having 19%. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
