Have to laugh at this. Some of us have been making these points all season and more often than not were met with your usual childish thank-whoring posts to the effect of "what have they won?" "winning doesn't matter as long as your playing pretty football?" "would you rather play like Liverpool and lose" etc.

Laugh away. I'm not actually praising Liverpools style just saying that style is effective against City. That doesnt mean its a effective style over an entire season as you boys love to claim.

Best thing has been thev"Westworld" girl.

Presumably you're a Liverpool fan? United have superior players in practically every starting XI position bar the front 3. Even then you could make an argument for the inclusion of Lukaku/Sanchez/Martial over Firmino or Mane. There's a reason we took 4 points off yer lot this season and currently are ahead of ye in the league.

Lukaku would not be ahead of Firmino for Liverpool.

I’ve gone passed caring! I’ve always been a Mourinho fan but he’s now been shown up for the ultra negative style he prefers, if this ends up 5, 6 or 7 today i genuinely don’t see a way back for Mourinho with the United fans

Honestly don’t think it matters mate as he will be here next year and we will go looking for players in the Summer and have 3 months of frustration and eventually end up with 3 or 4 signings with Valencia Young and Smalling still in the team. That’s what depresses me most. It’s like groundhog day.

Our second touch in City's box. #progress.

I don't think I ever claimed that it's an effective style over an entire season but considering it's not too dissimilar from City's style then maybe it is quite an effective way to play the game. It doesn't seem to be too inferior to our style anyway, whatever that is.

1 touch in City’s box. Pathetic.

I'd love to see the stats for completed passes for that half.
Pass into midfield and watch as they try to run through a blue wall rather than pass it around them.
The look on Jose's face said it all, it's as if he said to himself, "I gave them a job to do and they go out and do this Sh1te instead."

Very easy for him to have that look on his face. But at the end of the day he is the one coaching them and this **** is getting all to regular and showing no signs of improving. Its practically the same 14 or 15 players he picks from in the big games and they are all mentally weak. Something tells me they are not going to improve under him
And why does he keep picking Smalling???

I would say that thiugh there are certainly some who make valid points there are others who will go ott as always. This is normal tbf, my own lack of care about today is that it is nothing new. We knew what these players were before kick off today.

The valid points are indeed valid, but by and large they highlight nothing new and there are as many posters waiting to use today as an excuse to rage as there are posters who will find said raging amusing more than anything else.

Talk of it being pathetic that such an expensive team can't manage a shot on goal etc, was this said of City when they didn't have a shot on target at Liverpool? That kind of stuff provokes a laugh from me, sack everybody and no attacking intent etc when we have played for 20 minutes like you would want to play v city. Then the mistake is made and it all goes to ****. This is a mental thing, and this isn't the first time it's happened.

Big second half now for these lads to answer questions about themselves but do you think they will? Do you not think we already know the answers to these questions? I think we do.

We've improved, if we fail to improve next season the knives can be sharpened. Before then is premature imho considering

Bingo. That was my initial point that seemed to cause upset. A lot seem to have not realised just how crap Smalling and Pogba are.

Another corner turned for you. And the sh*t I took for suggesting throughout the season that Lukaku may not be the top quality striker we require when compared to the goalscorers of the teams around us. I didn't say he'd be ahead of Firmino, I said you could make an argument for it.

Lord TSC

Yeah, I'm in the "not surprised" camp as well.

There's. O new problems here today. Giving away stupid goals (and we got lucky not to give away a penalty within four minutes), Smalling being good for a goal conceded, Pogba and Herrera being aweful, Young and Valencia not being up to scratch.

These aren't new issues, and I've long since accepted it will be summer before it's fixed.

POGBA!

I said months ago that there must be some kind of major issue with Lindelöf that he has managed to make himself last choice defender when he is competing against fcuking Smalling.

Bailly hopefully recovers properly this summer since IC didnt make the WC. He hasn't had a decent run of games this year at all.

TheDoc

Lovely goal. Team need to believe.

Trigger

Get in! Who else ha

Lord TSC

Holy ****, Pogbaba again

Well worked, Neville was in the middle of talking about pushing Sanchez further up and it worked.

Rossi IRL

The guy gets tremendous amounts of stick for the defensive side of his game, but he is clearly our best player.

I’m not going to get too excited here. Would be nice to sicken them by denying them the win now.

If all of our players play a 10/10 in a game, he would be the standout player.

He is our most talented, just gotta get a system to suit
