Thankfully we won't be reading any undeserved lamentations about Maguire this week.

CapitalCee:
I don't dislike Fred. His work rate is ok, but in this game he is clearly piss poor, toward the end he lost another ball that nearly led to a goal and keot us on pressure with many corners. In this whole 90 minutes i just saw a SINGLE, 1, ONE misplaced pass from Bruno, how do expect me to condemn him for that? and all of a sudden i am unfairly calling out Fred. Fred deserves criticism completely for his today's performance and its not as if this is the first time he is giving us the same nonsense. Martial, Mctoms, Rashford James all have misplaced passes do you see me call out any of them? I just mentioned fred because his errors are just one too many

Lol no wahala. I hope he goes on injury tomorrow

Roland17:
I am not sure how many of you watch football games.. Today, Fred and McTom have been immense for United!

They have soaked and covered all the spaces making it difficult for City to create from the middle! They have been disciplined with positioning and tackled well. Please don’t construe this post to mean I think greatly about both players but for this match wen I dey watch so? Fred and McTom have been terrific!

It's quite unfortunate the way some people like to complain and moan over certain players, ignoring what they're doing well to help the team.

CapitalCee:
Come off it. Everyone of the 22 players on the pitch today has misplaced one pass or tge other, the way you guys stalk on Bruno most times one will think he is a rival player. He has not been the best player on the pitch today, but he is having a very good game. If you decide to ignore the good things he has done in the game so far thats your own cup of tea. Fred on the other hand has been atrocious today. Leave Bruno alone stop stalking him

Lol I didn't even see what that guy was complaining about. My point was that if you put Bruno under the microscope, you will complain every time

larride:
Foden game has improved tremendously.

It will when you have the talent and playing with a solid team

olabode89:
Lmao! which miles, booth of them have been piss poor today and for a while. KDB with so many misplaced passes and shiit.

Oh I thought it was only Fred o. Wow

rationalmind:
This bruno is an overhyped piece of shit. Can't make a simple 5 yard pass. His strength is in playing it over the top and Insha Allah.

Capitalcee would have been the one to type this if it was Fred

nitrogen:
We are playing counterattack. This is City, so no big deal at all.

I hate Ole for the shitty performances against small clubs.

I don't see any counter attack here unless counter attack means romancing the ball and passing back within your half

It's like they don't know what to do when they have the ball. They only prepared to defend

Anytime those guys talk about how pumped they are, just expect the opposite

nitrogen:
Haha. Shey we talk am say e go clear for our eyes.

City next, another shitty performance to see.

They said we're still second o

nitrogen:
Lol. Not sure these guys actually practice. The players just run around like bush gods on the pitch.

Meanwhile, OGS is a genius. McTom for Fred and James to come play against a low block. Well done!

lol but who would have played if not those?

LOL individual brilliance don finish? No wahala

raumdeuter:
This is the job of coaching, the same way Klopp used their mad pressing to protect their defence.
An average City or full strenght Liverpool defender sees less attack than Man Utd.

Exactly! The coach has a major role here simple. Anything short of that is just running in circles. We can call the players fridge and whatever all we like and compare with other defenders, but that won't change the truth about the things responsible for why those other defenders automatically look better

Lol Dias in this our team will still end in lamentations. Not because he's not good enough but the system. Just see how City players rush to shut down any attack from wolves. Dias hasn't really had anything major to do defensively today. Same for many other matches.

Panther7:
Any explanation on how we won the big games last season? What has changed considering the fact that we have more 'quality players' this season.

The teams you're playing against won't sit on their ass

How do you expect to dominate the game when your manager wants the team to play quick passes and counter attack? How do you dominate the game playing counter attacking football? That is on the manager, drag him

Botfuss:
Martial couldn’t even do the basics greenwood was doing.

We should experiment greenwood in that role throughout the season. Can’t wait for him to develop fully.

Greenwood needs the team and the coach to develop. I'm afraid we neither have the coach not the team

timbros:
Who does that?

Expensive Son that blanked for 5 straight matches or so? Barnes is just unlucky to get injured

I stopped streaming the match after the first half. It was obvious we were not going to get anything tangible from the match.

I sold Son to buy Barnes lmao

nitrogen:
Na playing your hearts out we wan chop? We need creativity and incisiveness abeg

Na creativity and incisiveness we wan chop? We need win abeg

nitrogen:
I am not like you always defending Fred. Lol

I like to defend the easy targets.

adebayo201:
Nah everybody get him own favourite.

Abi

96forever:
lol, you saw that, ball that he should turn and send a cross in. Funny enough the ball was thrown to him and he lost it as usual.

I don’t know how this guy is benching VDB.

VDB in that same position won't turn and send a cross in

larride:
Reading through back pages, nitrogen fall hand abeg.

When you have to defend Pogba and Martial, no misyarn is too big

Trevor012:
What chance have we created in the entire game now for our forwards? Absolute Zero.

Ole has to go. Just see what he's doing to the team

Imagine it was Fred that misplaced that Bruno 5 yard pass, we would seen like 10 comments. But but it's only Fred that attempts and wastes 6 yards passes

Fred OnlY plAYs 5 YaRDs PAsSes

patrickmuf:
If you watch City regularly, you will notice they have very wasteful attackers...What they have going for them is that they keep on creating chance after chance...

At City, Bruno won't score as much but he will assist more due to their style of play.

You mean if Bruno plays for City, he will become wasteful too?

patrickmuf:
Someone said Bruno is better than KDB and will have better stat if he played behind City attackers...I only reminded him our attackers have scored more than that of City so if his argument is that City have a better attack then I punctured it with stats that says otherwise...

If you claim Bruno is better than KDB based on stay then you should also accept our attack is better...Stats is killing football...

Bruno is a huge part of our attack which automatically makes our attack better.

With the kind of movement and pressing City does, I wouldn't doubt that though. Anyways these are the kind of arguments that will never resolved

DeadPresidents:
I agree.

We ain't winning shit with Magwaya and Lindelooof

A real DM won't be bad too..

I concur
