Wider than the current one. If City continues improving and buying into Guardiolas tactic and finally gells

And the other teams in the league dont find a way to improve or catch up then it will be a terrible time for the league

If Pep was Man U manager; sign Sanchez 70m playing line up; valencia, smalling, rojo, shaw/young; matic, herrera, mata; sanchez, martial, rashford.

The way matic herrera and mata will be throwing passes, you would be wondering if this is really Man U playing.

It is funny all these Ibra, Pogba, Jones, Bailly, etc, played last season against top teams and what happened?. I thought he said he'll change to attacking style when he came newly but looks like the leopard cannot change his spots. I get ashamed watching our game against any decent team. Seriously this is not how we can come close to the likes of Barca, Madrid, Bayern, etc. What we see is our defenders hoofing it to the CF. And the recent excuse is if Pogba is not playing then no hope in attack.

Yes, the midfield is the most critical but when you are deficient in the midfield like the case of yesterday, a good striker bails the team out in that instance. Ability to retain the ball confidently whilst bringing your team into the field of play is very important.

IFearGod:
Because his position is very critical for a team to maintain stability and it takes a more clevwr player to handle it

Why is it hard to accept the truth that Lukaku was a complete shyte in that match?
Old man Ibrahimovic made more impact in the limited time he played.

The clear cut chance Lukaku missed came about from Ibrahimovic's ability to retain the ball under tight marking in inside City's box. Ibrahimovic controlled the cross, retain the ball while ensuring body balance, and then played back to Mata who lobbed it over the wall to Martial.

If it were Lukaku in same position as Ibrahimovic, he would have made Mata to look like mumu there. Lukaku would never have thought of controlling and passing back to Mata.

Chances don't come when some members kill clever build up play, or running with the ball into the bush during counter.

Lols, the truth is, a club does not need a whole 11 to be extremely good. A club with 2 or 3 world class players and a good coach could still make a difference and be successful but if you have a whole lots of world class and the coach is bad, there is every probability that the club would fail. Pogba, De Gea, Martial, Mikhi, and Rashford, these are good players on their days if they are in the right hand. An attacking and tactically-minded coach would definitely bring the best out of these players.

elrony:
Abeg, all our players can't be that average. I really beg to differ

slimghost:
Guy, go and watch that game. I promise you will be ashamed of Lukaku yourself. Guaranteed. Rashford and Martial played in the same negative/defensive formation too...before you start bringing that up as an excuse.

elrony:
LMAOOO

IFearGod:
Let's call a spade, a spade; Lukaku is just an average player. He's not good enough to carry the mantle of our attack. I wouldn't go for Morata either because they are the same thing. He wouldn't have been good for us either. They are both the same version of average strikers the only the difference is that one is white and the other is black. C'est fini!

elampiro:
Try to watch the extended highlights of the match to at least contribute to the topic meaningfully.

You also try to listen to Alan Shearer on Lukaku's missed clear cut chance that would have levelled scores at final minutes.

Fact

Remove Lukaku 2 assist United would have won 1 nil

codedguy1:
we cannot be hoping for our opponents to have a bad game before we defeat them.

its hard for me to say this but do you think city expects any team to have a bad day so that they (city) can win. They come into the game and make you have a bad game by pressing and doing everything to make their opponents have a bad game and not hoping on hope.

hardeycute:
it is just sad the Ukaku stans who are the 'real united fans' won't surface now to defend him but can argue and try to criminalise someone with a realistic and logical reasoning

hardeycute:
if that is difficult to understand I don't think anyone can help you

Approach of each team to their opponents is what he highlighted.

Skimpledawg:
Daddy, are you back?


Scummy

codedguy1:
when we were complaining about his link up play we were shouted down.

somehow Lukaku can't even run with the ball again, always fumbling with the ball between his legs while running like someone that already wants to fall even without anyone close to him.


Mourinho is the real idiot here, trying to win games by not conceding only to start attacking when we are scored and if he manages to equalized will go back to default mode of defending.

Yesterdays game, especially the first half was a monumental disgrace and to think we were at OT just makes it irritating.

If city had any kind of fear or respect for us before the game they quickly gained confidence because of the cowardly approach Mourinho adopted.

Playing Rashford and Martial in the wrong wings is just stupid to say the least.

elampiro:
You expected Lukaku to have a bad game?

Ajigbijigbijigbi.

If this is the case, let us just buy Costa. Abeg I don't like this expectations at all.

Lukaku is not going to get those chances he used to get at Everton when they played their co-mid table teams. Any team playing against City, Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal park the bus and give their best defensive approach because a draw to them means victory. It is going to be always tight, and he has to get used to it. If he cannot, it is a pity.

Elxandre:
Serves him right!
At last now he'll realize he needs to play to win.
