This is why, apart from Sancho, I didn't really go in on any of our players after the City loss. Pep tactically schooled Ten Hag.
I knew there was something wrong about our tactics from the first 5 minutes of the game.

Lana1:
Imagine conceding 6 goals in one match. Ajax. SMH

odizeey:
We lost to city, and our players are now useless, all of a sudden. We don't have midfielders now? We don't have attackers?

I no really understand you sha.

eph12:
Lol for me I need them to play well first. Then I'll be very confident we can go on a winning run. I'm not even thinking about trophy, we're far from that. We need to play more confidently with the ball first. We still have too many careless passes

odizeey:
Sancho has proven to be a fraud.

odizeey:
How are we a relegation team?

I know you don't want to put your hopes high, but we are very far from a relegation team. We should be gunning for top 4 at least.

Anything less than that is failure. And I would not blame the anyone. There is always room for doing better.

eph12:
I’m not too bothered about the defeat. I hope ETH identifies those gaps and fix them. The gaps were there against assnal but we got away with murder. Against lfc we were better. Maybe that formation against top teams will do us some good, but it’s the smaller teams I’m even concerned about. We’ve not really showed our strength against the small teams and we need to start doing that. That’s the key to familiarizing ourselves with how we want to play as a team. So far imo, it has not really been a great experience.

eph12:
We needed destroyers in that game. People that can intercept passes and match you strength for strength or foul you. Yeah case would have done okay, alongside Mctom. We’ll most likely still lose but the city players will be frustrated a lot

ChristineC:
it's a steep curve for Ten Hag. he has an idea of what he wants and the mentality to boot.
we can get there fast if the board show same level of commitment in the market.
he may have downplayed the effectiveness of our home support against Liverpool and Arsenal.
at this stage of development, I believe he can utilize the 3-5-2 in away games against top 6.
Casemiro's passing between the lines is very good from my observations so far, so we can actually accommodate another energetic hound at the base.

eph12:
This loss and the way we collapsed is on ETH. Two people he needed to man mark are Bernardo and KDB. He should have started Case and McTom, and the wingers must track the runs of their full backs. What kind of delusion did they have going into the game that they thought they could get away without doing these things. Well I’ll see how they bounce back

Lana1:
Rebuild every year since 2014. For our sake, I hope the cement works this time

BlaqFaze:
Small club with ego issues...


The only surprising thing yesterday was how Man U was able to score 3 goals.


You guys should be happy

Lana1:
No right thinking United fan would expect to go the rest of this season unbeaten.

I meant going into games, I no longer expect us to lose before kickoff like last season.
Smart people read that and figured out that's what I meant. But for an unintelligent frog face and a useless waste of spèrm like you, we must always spoon-feed you everything

AYNL:
what's the varane-martinez slander all about?

van dijk with Liverpool conceded 6 against Aston villa

the earlier y'all accept we were totally outclassed the better for y'all

man city was too good for man utd today and that's just it

and please if you watched the game,you'd realize all the threats was coming from dalot position

blud left the defense vulnerable

man city exploited man utd and killed it from dalot's position

it's a reality check that we must learn from!

we should be patient,ten hag is just few months into the job,and is yet to get his desired players,that suit his tactics and ideas

Trevor012:
Solid defense Don chop 6 goals

ChristineC:
we still need him. we have a very limited squad. except the likes of Iqbal and Mainoo can have some sort of positive impact this season.

TrebleChamp:
McTominay can never be good enough for Ten Hag style, if he (Ten Hag) doesn't know this then we have a serious problem....

Englishisamust:
Man u really tried. It is not easy to play with city. If we look at it today. Man u didn't play counter football today. We played possession game. Even though we are just getting used to it.

Lana1:
And just like that McTominay went back to being shít

Trevor012:
You are mad. Shey this is the useless defense your foolish kind was hyping ever since.

raumdeuter:
When Haaland dey nod ball why Aki go hide for back
Why he no man mark Haaland like they told us he knows how to do
We sabi people wey dey hide for field

Borntosmoke:
I'm really impressed with the way man u played today. Era of playing counter attack is coming to an end. Our defenders were not defending like beast today.

Possession is man city 54 and man u 46. I'm really impressed. We just need some few changes

ChristineC:
yes but we are supposed to be more compact in midfield. Rashford not pressing at all is not helping. when Bruno presses, Erikson and McT are left with a lot of ground to cover.

nitrogen:
Naso now, they will say he no sabi press bobbi and yansh. He can’t defend from the front. Make that guy just go League 1 or another farmers league to rack up goals. He missed the City train, it’s over!
