Mrviktor:
Nobody is talking about how we bossed the game in the second half..

Nobody is saying it. They want us to go to Anfield boss the game 90 minutes and win 4-0

BikeMan:
Has anybody called them any other names?

But if you can call Hazard a fraud and won't call Penaldes the same, you're very unrighteous. Na here we dey when una dey count "open play" goals for Hazard, meanwhile a lot of penaldes goals na PK. The only goal he even scored in a big game still season na still penalty, LMFAO! Fvcking Fraud!

Stop it. Which games this season can you call a big game?

handelex:
How does Rashford having 24g/a this season excuse the fact he was garbage yesterday. Those are two different things, he's being called out for yesterday's game and rightfully so, if he gets a hattrick next game he will be praised to the high heaven's. You guys should chill abeg.

Yes Rashford didnt play well yesterday and even for like 3 or 4 games now. The guy might be tired you dont know rhe reason Ole always play him. He has played all our games this season after coming back from a 4 months injury you dont expect him to be 100% all game. Tell me a single player in the league this season that haven't dropped a disasterclass, tell me one just one. We are very quick to jump and bomb our players. These guys are humans. Even in the good days of Fergie our important just turn up only about 60% of the games. Even Lewandowski and Haaland sometimes ghost games, lets stop doing as if its a new thing

Typical scummy.

Chelsea are not a big team but Leicester are, Spurs are, Aston Villa are, right?

Na me fxxk up to dey engage you.

Chelsea is 8th in the league stop behaving like they are any special. Remove Chelsea and tell me any big game KDB has played well this season. Liverpool, Man U, Spurs and Liecester he dropped disasterclasses in all the games. So what are you saying

Expert17:
The same Anfield Aguero manage to score just once for more than 4-5 years now.

I am not sure CR7 scored up to 2 goals at Anfield, even Rooney went on 3-4 years barren run there.

Some fans will just carry phone and type rubbish, the same Rashford that do turn up with goals against big clubs is now rubbish

Dont mind them, Rashford is not playing well now but he already got 14 goals and like 10 assists already halfway through the season, extrapolate that till the end of season and you are getting 28 goals and almost 50 goals contributions. They fail to see that Rashford has played all our games this seadon in all competitions after coming back from 4 months injury, this is because we lack worthy replacement.
Nobody team in this world will not accept a draw at Anfield, Even Fergie will accept the result. Most of our fans are not experienced at all or are just emotional, they listen too much to bitter rival fans. I am not an ole supporter but in recent weeks the team us doing well.

airmark:
I have forgotten that you belong to Dayo's aparisports looking for only goals from a midfielder and not other important stats.

Against Liverpool, KDB 1 assist

Against Chelsea , KDB 1 goal 1 assist

Oya tell me what Penaldes did against these teams this season?

Keep quiet their Chelsea is not a big team this season count the goals and assist of KDB versus teams like Aston Villa, Leicester, Everton, Man U, Liverpool and Spurs.

KDB vs Man U. 0 goals 0 assist.
KDB vs Liverpool 1 assist 1 missed penalty and a disasterclass.
KDB vs Spurs 0 goals 0 assist and a disasterclass.
KDB vs Leicester 0 goals 0 assist a hammering and a disasterclasses.

Stop counting KDB 1 goal versus Chelsea as a big team goal, anybody can destroy chelsea these days. Even small Smith-Rowe and Saka scattered and destroyed Chelshit. You think because fat frank spent 300m in the summer it automatically means chelshit is a big team?

KingAlabi:
That's what you still don't seem to understand

Liverpool hasn't been special away, but they have made sure to still keep anfield a fortress.

We should have taken the game to them?
But wait didn't we in the second half, and you saying Liverpool has lost their spark does that mean they no more dominate games?

Yesterday we had more shots on target than them, but due to Allison heroics they(no we) manage to come out with a point but no we should have won if ole had employed another better tactic

Oya mention the tactics now

Amala turning started

Dont mind those talks, we took the game to them, if Rashford did not have a brainfart and Allison making 2 fantastic saves we would have won. Its true that Liverpool are not as good as last season, but they are not a dud team. They were top of the league until last week. A point at Anfield is a massive result.

Oasis007:
We're beginning to ask for too much from OGS and his Boys at this Point. For goodness sake it's Liverpool, current Champions, we played not Westbrom Albion....... At fuckîn Anfield.

A point at Anfield is massive, and we should not be wailing over it. We're still at the Top, next Match is Fulham and hopefully we gonna win it.

Let's be patient pls, even though some of us hope this Season is ours to lose.

Man united have one of the most terrible fans I have ever seen.

By this tume last season we were losing to Burnley at Old Trafford going 33 points behind Liverpool and are staring a confirmed 6th place finish. We have already resigned ourselves to finishing outside top 4. Rashford our too scorer became injured, we were fielding Mctoms, Perriera and Lingard in Midfield, Williams at LB, and Jones sometimes at defence and Pogba was uninterested and wanted out. Boom! We luckily signed Bruno (who lets admit it nobody knew will have the impact he is having), Covid 19 came, allowing Rashford and Pogba to return from season ending injuries, 18 year old Greenwood who normally should be playing few minutes in Coraboa cup entered mad form, we went on a mad run to finish 3rd. We were supposed to sign good players, we needed a CB, a CDM, a RW and a World class CF. We didnt get any of these we only got Cavani whom majority have written off even before he kicked a ball and VDB who Ole never wanted and not urgently needed.

With all these things everybody, I mean everybody have already written the season off. We were praying for top 4. No one gave the team any chance City, Chelsea and Liverpool were all slated for a 3 way title race. Now the team is top of the league midway in the season, but we still see people bitching and moaning because we did not beat Liverpool our eternal rivals at their home. A team that finished 33 points ahead of us to win the title just few months ago after winning UCL the previous year. You begin to here talks like.

"Greenwood is a flop" a 19 year old.
" Bruno doesn't score in big games" "we shouldn't have signed him, he is rubbish". "KdB's is better"
"Not winning Liverpool shows we are rubbish"
"We cant win big games"

We united fans are one of the most terrible i have seen. Most people moaning about a draw at Anfield now are those that if you give them 4th position at the beginning of the season they will bite off your hands. A certain team finsihed 4th last season and spent 300m, and were troliing us for not making signings are now languishing in 9th place. But our team iz top of the league but we moan like a jilted girlfriend. SmH

Godx:
This is you on Pogba . Even called him a fraud







Baba you are clown I swear . Same person you now want to hype here. Fear God

If you have any sense you should know my criticism of him has been about attitude not ability.

Godx:
This is you here saying lingard is better than Hazard . B


When one United playing starts performing you are always there to hype them up. You have jumped from Pogba to Bruno because he is performing and when he stops you will jump to another player

You must be joking. Thats a banter. Lingard is never better than Hazard.

But KDB is not better than pogba as a player. Put KDB in an underperfoming he will be swallowed. Even in this city team he has been awful at times

Expert17:
But you told us that Messi is the problem at Barcelona.

Ignore that guy na e too de talk nonsense nonsense

BikeMan:
Lol, game week 18 and person don dey talk say "led his team to the top of the league", I off

KDB has actually won trophies with this own team, Penaldes on the other hand has failed his team in 3 semifinals.

You be Ode walahi. KDB has spend 5 years at city. Bruno has been in his team just 11 months, your comparison is way off. Moreover Bruno didnt join a team coached by Pep, armed with the budget of Colombia to buy players.
KDB joined a team already parading Yaya Toure, Silva, Kompany, Aguero and Zabaleta, serial winners. Bruno joined a team with Lingard, Perriera and Mctominay are the starting midfielders, with inexperienced Rashford and Martial in Attack. Stop typing rubbish

hoopLA:
It's not an awful result.

It just sounds and seems to me like Ole was playing for the draw,with his tactics and selection.

An out of sorts Rashfird starts centrally,pushing Martial out wide,and Cavani on the bench.
Then the double pivot of McTominay & Fred.

Yes i noticed it the team was all over the place and we need improvements. But to match an experienced team like Liverpool is a good progress

Godx:
You shouldn't be taking seriously one bit.

Get out. Pogba just lacked discipline but talent wise KDB is not better than Pogba. In case you have forgotten. Pogba is 2 years younger than KDB and won 4 seria A title, won Europa league, Won Copa Italia and English league cup and also a World Cup all those times being a key player.

Let me even ask you . What the heck has KDB won as a player? And he is 30 years already. He has been at City for 5 years now surrounded by stupendous riches and quality training facilities and managers yet he won only 2 league titles, one of which he was injured the entire campaign. He has consistently been useless in Champions league losing to Teams like Monaco, Spurs, upcoming Liverpool and useless Lyon.

In the national team he has been useless, despite being surrounded by excellent playerz like Kompany, Alderwirield, Vertonghen, Hazard, Lukaku, Merten, Naingollan, Witsel and Courtois. What exactly has KDB done in the world of Football?

hoopLA:
Thats a half-full perspective.

That means we cant really separate ourselves from everyone else who's gone to Anfield.
Which means we really can't point to something that makes us different.

I do not feel it's rubbish if you beat your nearest rivals.
Its called consistency, and thats what wins league titles.

Its good to beat them, but now we didn't and its not an awful result, we can beat them at Old Trafford. Getting 4 points out of 6 from your nearest rival is a good result. The 2 seasons that City won the league they didn't beat Liverpool at Anfield. The reason we have not beaten any so xalled big teams is because of our early season form which is understandable

nitrogen:
Last season, we held our own against the big boys, I think.

I am not saying that we should beAt all big clubs, this particular game was there for us. If City win their outstanding game, na safe journey o. Watch them beat everybody to win the league. Don’t forget that Pep is becoming a smarter manager, he’s tried to improve his team’s compactness.

Hopefully, he fumbles today sha.

If city win their outstanding game and win every match feom then on to win the league, i wont begrudge them that. Even Fergie cant even stop it. We mustn't win the league this season. I just want a title race which will conote progress.
By the summer will be looking at solving our weakness. By getting a reliable CDM, CB and CF and then see from there

timay:
I could remember Ronaldo's own prior to 2008, opposition fans usually banter him too that he disappears in big games, so I'm not surprised

I am not cowed by those rubbish talk. Only novices and younger fans listen to those rubbish. They just do that to hold on to something, because they are just bitter.
Van Nistelrooy own was that he doesn't score outside the box and that he doesn't dribbling too many people to score.

Ronaldo own is that he doesn't score against big teams. Lol. Ronaldo?

They also did same for Rooney calling him all sorts of names,
They did it to Roy Keane and Cantona too, so its not new.
When Bruno score against their so called big teams now, they will shift the goal post to may be " he doesn't score headers" or " he only score with his right leg" or he need to score more in second half. Any thing to just hold on to.

KDB, KDB everytime, their match against Liverpool what did he do? He dropped a disasterclass and missed a penalty, he was there versus Liecester and they were hammered. Against Lyon last season nko. KDB has been in city npw for Five years and they lost to Monaco, Liverpool, Spurs, and Lyon in all those matches he was absolutely anonymous and awful. Bruno came to England newly and matched up against KDB and bossed him we won 2-0. dont let anybody emotionally blackmail you into buying that KDB argument. I wont swap Bruno with any player in EPL currently

hoopLA:
He actually has a point.
We haven't beaten a big 6 side so far this season.

A point at Anfield is a fantastic result. With little more luck we would have won. Look at the league table, that rubbish statistics of winning big teams is generated by rival fans to see what to hold on to. If you win the league, nobody cares who you win.

nitrogen:
I see your point. The momentum is good, and we should have won this to make a statement to other big teams that we are serious about winning the title.

We were toothless in the first half even though Liverpool’s defence was sh1t.

I get that we should have won, but they too have chances, We are really progressing as a team, last season this game would have been a loss. To win Wolves, Villa, Burnley and a point at Anfield in a pressure soked period shows we are doing well. Yes there is a room for improvements but its not all doom and gloom

Expert17:
Oga, rest

He should wake up? If Bruno is asleep, who is awake in EPL?

The way some people talk sef de surprise me.

KingAlabi:
Bro were you expecting a win?

As in eeeh. Look at the way they are talking as if we played Wes brom or Burnley

nitrogen:
We have not been doing well against big teams. For us to win the league, we need to get some wins against big clubs.

All our matches this season apart from this one are during the time we are not in form. We did not have any preseason so have a slow start of the season. I can guarantee you that if we replay those matches now we will win some of those games. A point at Anfield at this stage of the season is a fantastic result which even Ferguson in his hay days will be happy with. League season is a marathon not a sprint.

popizaino:
No Liverpool were there usual self,except that they met a much disciplined team who were compact at every department at the back plus ole being a very tactical coach .

Allow them to be talking like Liverpool is one bottom level team. A club that have not lost at Anfield for like 4 years now and you are not happy with a point added with a professional performance

nitrogen:
My brother, I have no idea. But if City takes over, mehn, e go tough for United. City can still win big games, Utd can’t do shyte against big teams.

Let them top first make we see. A point at Anfield is not a bad result at all. Even City will be happy with it. What do you mean we cant do shyte against big club?

airmark:
Are you actually bringing Penaldes near KDB?

Get out KDB is not better. Bruno has led his team to the top of the league table even with a much lesser quality and less experienced squad and Manager. You guys are really pissed off with Bruno long ago due to hiw he has transformed us from banter club to real titke contenders, and are looking for an opportunity to have a go at him. We have seen this over the years with our former players like Ronaldo, Van Nistelrooy and Rooney. Its not new.

And i ask you again, how is KDB better? On what evidence particularly?

Exonerate1:
Bruno is a good player, don't get me wrong. But KDB is just better in every aspect

How is KDB better. What did he do the last time they met Liverpool at Etihad. He was absolutely awful. They fave him a PK and he missed. So what are you talking about. This game was a cagey game and everyone is careful. What did Salah, Mane aand Thiago do in this game? Abi na only Bruno you see to talk about. Our best chances fell to him which showed his quality

I don't know why Ole will not charge this guys up?

adebayo201:
I hope Klopp nọ noticed that hectares of land wey Wan-Bissaka dey leave for Robert to make his runs.

I don't know why Wan-Bissaka loves leaving his duty like a no man's land.

I notice that too. Both Mctoms and Free are overloading the left side leaving the dangerous Robertson to operate. Although you wont blame AWB, the guy is busy with Mane

afrodoc2:
Robertson is Pogba's man. Pogba was the one sleeping on duty.

AWB can't mark Mane and Robertson at the same time. He is good but not that good.

Why not then put Rashford on Robertson rather than Pogba. Pogba should come central to make things happen, Rashford has not been effective in the position he is now

patrickmuf:
McFred have not been defensively solid at all...

Bruno has wasted one too many balls, he needs to calm down...

Pogba is wasted out right...One of McFred should make way for Matic and later, the other for Cavani...Very winnable game we have here...

Matic supposed to have started this game tey tey. We need to get pogba more at the thick of things.

olabode89:
McT grew immensely as the match went on... very tidy with the ball after some initial misplaced passes. Fred and Shaw have been really good too.

Maguire was shaky at the start but also improved as the game.l went on.

We need to reduce the amount of time we play out from the back. Maguire has been shaky with his passes

Pogba and Bruno need to be more aggressive. Mcto. And Shaw doing well so far
