Ming racing off to fire up the seismic world destruction machine….

United are absolutely fucking dreadful, I can’t quite believe that they are 6th, truly appalling team.

Casemiro just whispering into Brunos ear there probably something along the lines of "Never mind Bruno we got paid on Wednesday 3 more years worth to come then we can go to Saudi with Cristiano"

He’s hardly Merciless. Soon to be jobless though.

It would have been good for City to drop points taking into account the half time score. But, it wasn’t expected. 
 

It changes very little. If we don’t lose next weekend and then go all out to win the remaining league fixtures, and do so, then it’s ours. 
 

It’d be great to win all four. But, we could be getting to the stage now where we have to make a choice to prioritise the league games and go weaker in the cups. 
 

United are fucking awful though. And, I think I might’ve suggested Amrabat in the transfer thread. That removes my right to suggest any further future signings. He’s shockingly bad. It’s all way too fast for him. 

[Harry Squatter]

Hope that they are this shit in 2 weeks when we play them.

Fuck, he isn't good enough to lace my boots let alone Endo's.

One good thing about United’s performance is that they’ve highlighted a weakness of City’s that we could try to take advantage of. 
 

The direct goal kick or ball from the back line. They looked quite susceptible to that at times today. And you’d imagine that Nunez, Diaz and Mo could do more damage when exploiting that weakness than the halfhearted Rashford and Garnacho did.

That would likely put Arsenal in the driving seat. I really think we have to win.

Looks like Kelly Brooks jaw will be rested tonight then.

I worked it out wrong. Arsenal have to play City though. So they’d have to beat them if we won the rest. Which is a big ask. Both of them - Arsenal beating City at the Etihad and us winning all our remaining fixtures. 
 

There is room for plenty of twists and turns. But, I’ll be livid if the officiating in the Spurs and Arsenal games cost us. 

[A Red]

If you want something doing, do it yourself.

 

Why oh why did I imagine these useless twats might get something out of the game?

[3 Stacks]

Alas, it just wasnt to be. Very representative game of who they are, though Sometimes their players do something, like the Rashford goal, and then they give up about 25 shots. 

 

If I had decided to support Man United, Id have stopped doing so about 5 years ago.

[Mook]

Might be an idea to stop going on about how shite Man Utd are for a few weeks.

They are shite. 

[Jennings]

It's not the shiteness. It's the lack of effort or plan.

They were in the ‘80s.

They looked like Everton out there.

Their plan wasn't all that far off paying dividends today, if they'd had a bit more composure on the break, they could have been 3 or 4 up at HT.

 

Still quite embarrassing to spend all that money and set up so defensively.

[Fugitive]

That was very important win for the Red side of Manchester.

Amrabat playing football is like someone watching Silverstone Grand Prix and watching admirably how fast the cars go.

Man Utd have faced 414 shots this season, the fourth-most behind Sheffield United, Luton Town and West Ham. That is an extraordinary figure that has resulted, in part, from a particularly poor last five Premier League matches, in which United have faced 100 shots.

 

Compared with their supposed rivals, Man Utd are well below where they should be, as Sky Sports revealed on Monday Night Football: Ten Hag's team have faced 20 or more shots in 12 of his league matches as Man Utd manager, or once every 5.3 fixtures.

Mikel Arteta, Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp are nowhere near that figure, with their sides facing 20 or more shots every 23, 73 and 161 matches respectively.

 

This season, United have faced at least 16 shots in a Premier League on 14 occasions. City have done so twice, while Arsenal not once.

[Josef Svejk]

United did same today.

 

Ten Hag manages every 5 games what Klopp manages every 160 (that is, twice in his entire time here). 

[Mathewbet1]

They are not even the third best team in manchester
