maybe Big Dunc’s had a word in Lampard‘s ear. “Holgate. DM“. ~mic drop.

Diagon Alli?

Honestly, some people would find reason to moan if Guardiola was named next manager. It is my understanding these people should be identified as tits. And placed on ignore.

I agree in that people are overlooking some of his decent play and some attempted decent play, but whilst sat as the deepest lying midfielder for 60mins he dictated our pace, which was horribly slow in the main. For whatever reason he’s become scared of taking the ball from the back 4 and...

Ref: “Penalty!” VAR: “Hey Chris lad, wait a sec... 50 quid says you ain’t got the balls to fire over to the monitor, pretend to take a look, then windmill at Klopp on the way back to the penalty spot” Ref: “F’kin watch me...“

I do agree with you there! Problem is if we try and go at City then it could have been an embarrassing score line. That Fulham shambles has so much to answer for, I don’t believe the way we played tonight does.

Make sure you get the stats on how many goals City scored against those teams as well hey.

Some comments here are hilarious. “City weren’t all that”... we actually made it very difficult for them to play. Thought the tactic was spot on. Some people on here will reject that because at times we’ve played the same way at other times but against much worse teams when I’d then agree that...

Totally baffled by so much of that. Not starting with fresh legs of King? Hooking Davies when he was the only midfielder looking to take the ball and turn forwards... Allan on the bench (so presumably fit enough to play) not used. Gomes, Gilfi and James all playing together... not playing a...

One of Davies best performances for me. Growing under Carlo. Doucoure top quality again too. Love how Richy goes from sulky face to sheer joy when he scores. That was exhausting to watch, but fantastic blues! UTFT

You’re right, I know, in that situation he only has a split second to react. Was more trying to make the point that some of his reactions are likely caused by what seems to be an underlying “need” to do something flashy rather than something simple.

Always get the feeling with Pickford he likes to take any opportunity to “dive for the cameras”, i.e. when he tipped it out for the corner, I imagine he thought ”this might go in”, but his overriding thought would still have been “I’ll look incredible diving and saving this”. What a berk. Olsen...

Absolutely love this lad. He’s a proper unit and I reckon he’s likely the fastest player in the squad. Absolutely monsters up the yards when he steps on it. MOM for me yesterday alongside Keane.

Thought he was allowed some space by the opposition yes, but he was also constantly looking to make himself available to take the ball from the back four. He loses possession here and there (and it’s much easier to forgive when we win) but I’d much rather that than a player that actively hides...

That injury surely hasn’t made him afraid of receiving the ball off our own back four.

I respect Carlo, he knows way more than any of us put together, but i don’t understand putting him on the bench and only using him as a time wasting sub or not at all. The kid surely needs to be playing? (1st team or not)

Even Neville called it early on in the Sky Sports commentary, hiding from taking the ball off the central defenders. Was watching Gomes quite closely and it was literally just that, hiding. Don’t understand him, he’s got a lot of ability on the ball, but it’s like his confidence is unbelievably...

As with most other comments, play him in the middle where he can find pockets of space between def-mid to try and knit play together. Without Digne (or another) overlapping then he’s a waste of time out wide

Feel the same... although it was my Missus that left the room! United made a lot of changes to their starting line up tonight and looked much fresher right from the start, we just didn’t have that luxury. Against all my better judgement I do feel like we’ve got our best chance in years of really...

I know we have injuries, but in any event I think tonight showed us that as much as we now have a pretty decent core team, we’re really lacking depth still to really mount a serious challenge (just yet)
