Following Our Nearest And Dearest Rivals 2026/27

United are shocking. No idea why Carrick changed what worked so well last season.

It was the same sh*t last season as well. The only difference is that luck has left them and they do not play one game a week anymore. Remember all those very late winners and equalisers after matches in which they were absolute dog sh*t. Or matches like the Everton away one when their GK saved them from conceding 5 or 6.

The real points range United should have finished last season was somewhere around 50 to 60 points.

 
Ive watched 3 their games and i would say so and thats the general consensus from their fans.

In this game in particular the midfield wasn't even an issue compared to previous games so Ive seen. Dias was pretty much directly responsible for 2 of the goals, thats not a midfield issue

Agreed. Enzo is moving the ball a lot faster than he used to for us, and for me, that's largely explained by the off-the-ball movement of his teammates. City just moves quicker and better as a block, which is not something we did — especially our backline.

I know he’s a bit of a twat, but from a football perspective, I didn’t really get the constant slaughtering Fernández got at Chelsea. The pundits were always saying how good he was and he scored goals and made assists. He was excellent last week in the derby and he’s just scored a free kick.

When you look at our midfield, it’s hard to make an argument that he’s not missed.

"But positional discipline is a concern. Fernandez can be a frustrated No 10. Some of Maresca’s instructions involve him moving towards the touchline. At times, he looked more like an inside-right.

But as Sunderland often dominated in the centre, as chaos enveloped the Etihad Stadium, Elliot Anderson appeared to be a one-man midfield, and even a £116m midfielder can struggle against multiple opponents"

So literally the exact same issues as he created with us.

 
Interesting one with AVB (surprised they got him on)

He spoke about how there was dressing rooms splits, and said to watch how everyone celebrated after Drogba’s final penalty, and how some players ran the other way. Now, from memory without checking, it was Lampard, Ashley Cole and Cahill that run the other way, Ash and Lampard definitely the two. Others like Mata stayed on the floor crying. Subs were the only ones that went to Cech & Didier, then eventually others like Malouda etc.

Think he’s just relating it to his own experience, projecting a bit, don’t really like the fact he’s tried to insinuate a lack of togetherness. Although Mikel didn’t correct him….

He also said he was rooting against us, as he was the one that advised for Di Matteo, not Roman or the board, so he felt a type of way about that.

 
I don't know how O'Hara hasn't laid one on him yet,

TBF there's always a Chelsea incident of some sort just around the corner if he's patient enugh to wait. 😆
