we look worse with 3 Cbs then 2 lol. build up play is terrible because we are relying on the wingbacks to build it. Valencia and Young would much rather pass it backwards then take on a man or go forwards. We have to build inside and then play the ball out rather then start outside and play it in. We have the players to actually work a nice controlling and building midfield game, it's just LVG has been too stubborn to drop players. If he wants to play Rooney fine but it's gotta be behind the striker or as a striker. Get Falcao out there. Then use Herrera, Blind, Carrick in midfield. Those are our best options.

To be honest, United deregulated Southampton's play pretty well in the first half. It was a good tactic imo.

It's fucking ridiculous and absolutely shameful. Blame shitrags like Marca and AS for making a big deal out of Bale not passing the ball once and the mindless drones that follow their crap as gospel.
As others in this thread have said, if it had been Ronaldo who tried to shoot instead of passed, no one would be saying fuck all.
And jesus fucking christ, making a pass those two times wasn't exactly easy business. And the fucking goldfishes in the Bernabeu apparently forgot Bale's contribution to the first goal and his stunning free kick goal that same match. I wish I could set fire to every person who booed Bale's ASSHOLE.
Eh United's defence is shoddy, no communication at all. That's why you see them losing the ball often when under pressure.
I think that both coaches had perfect defensive strategies but it was only Koeman that had someone like Tadic on the bench if the game was going towards a 0-0 end result.
Excellent game strategically overal. Not nearly as fun as Lazio's though.
good show innit
aside from Joe Armstrong's yorkshire accent
just needs a flat cap and lump of goal

Nicest thing I can say about it is that we clearly don't have the personnel to play it correctly.
At worst it's just a very bad formation for English football.
The team cost £270m today. TWO HUNDRED AND SEVENTY MILLION!
Can City even field a team of that value?! Srsly.
Cheers, found it.
Funny to see Pelle falling over but quickly getting up again to receive the ball.
this is how you play football
Did you see those Ronaldo fans that attacked Platini's house? Absolutely sickening behavior...
Thats what I've been saying. Play Blind and Carrick as a midfield pair. They will protect the back line much more then roling with a 3rd CB and just Carrick in midfield.
No, nor do I - for the most part anyway.
Absolutely need a new CB because the ones we do have are all fucking morons.
Rafael needs to play, Shaw too, and both in their favoured positions. So does ADM, where he can get the ball facing forward and not with his back to goal.
There's a lot wrong with our approach to football matches at the moment.
Dan, you fielded 100 million worth of strikers in Amsterdam and still couldn't win. Please go sit back down.
Was our best player today by a long long margin.
I think Bony is very good, but it's funny that City desperately need English players but aren't signing any and are letting Milner go.
Would be delighted if that happened. Doubt it though.

You lot look like absolute clowns with those socks.
Fitting.
I don't watch your games. But if you wanna have Blind on the team don't put him in CB is all I'm saying.

Fuck that tippy-tappy, nambly-pambly shite
Give me thunderbastards.
Remind me again, how many times this season have Manchester United been able to field that £270m team due to injuries?

As much as we joke, but Moyes would have got the likes of Kroos and Fabregas if he was backed with money. The balance of the team would be a lot better.
And no shots on target, at home? Come on.
Honestly, Uniteds position is sooo inflated by the fact the league is absolutely dire right now.
Beautiful.
I wonder if Wenger will give him the time is what worries me. We have many players in that position. Welbeck to come back next week as well.

Koeman got the last banter
Has Pulga commented on this shocking Madrid attack?
Does that matter? You fielded it today and lost.
In both gifs posted, I expected to see an end product.
Why would you even post them
Well I prefer to see the calculations to a question. The answer is not that important.
Exactly. It's disgusting to see, and pretty sad.
And Blind isn't even on the level of a club like ManU, more fitted for Newcastle or the Spurs.

Why are people even bothering with doicare today? It's not even funny this time, United was at full strenght and had 0 shots on goal. Just ignore him.
0 shots on target? What is Falco at?
Aguero is worth that! Bony is costing £28m according to the BBC. Expensive :/
Hart - £600k
Zabaleta - £6.4m
Kompany - £6m
Mangala - £32m
Clichy - £7m
Yaya - £24m
Fernandinho - £30m
Nasri - £24m
Silva - £24m
Aguero - £38m
Bony - £28m
£220m. Feel free to try and build a £270m City team.
Txiki is working his nuts off trying to get Milner to extend. He's a coaches dream really isn't he, plays anywhere, always gives his best, doesn't complain.
But as ever, City are damned if they do damned if they don't. If we keep him it will be "LOL! Milner paid £xx to sit on the bench." If he goes it will be "LOL! City need English players and they've let one go."
If Milner leaves, it's purely for footballing reasons, because he wants to play. Quite refreshing really.
Strootman won't go to United then.

dat fake concern
edit: Kolarov and Nastasic cost £26m or so between them, which takes it closer
that is why we have to buy him now so he can help us make the push.
Lashley
