← Manchester United vs Manchester City LIVE fallout to offside controversy

Forget the VAR call, the biggest problem with Man Utd's display vs City was _______________?

Fill in the blank? What was the biggest issue with United's performance and how do we fix it?

ianratcliffe19692w ago

We seem to have regressed, 3 shots on target all match is poor.

stephenjholmes12w ago

It is really sad. We looked the better side when 11-11 but just like against Leeds, all intensity went out of the game. The defenders all decided to be centre forwards. We will never achieve anything with such "schoolboy errors". We need to go back to basics. That was what MC did when he came in, and everyone has become complacent!

stephenjholmes12w ago

I have been saying it since the start of the season. No positional awareness. Defenders need to concentrate on defending. When you have so many players in the opposition box, you can't break the lines with great passes. It was also clear once down to 10, the intensity went out of Uniteds play. Mid table mediocrity

barryroberts722w ago

Rubbish with school boy errors. Yes, we don't have coaching badges but come on we can pick a team to attack and defend better than that. Why are we the only team in the PL who stand around, (what looks like) 7ft away from the person on the ball, stand closer, close them down, players who rush on the ball make mistakes.

philip.smith12442w ago

Lack of good right wing attacker to take players on and compliment Rashford. Too much walking football when there is an obvious urgency to score. Make the correct changes earlier.

Left back, where was he for the goal. Nice kid but left back, nah

dancoombs2w ago

On the right playing Haaland onside 😒

plattysared52w ago

Made me laugh that both Dalot & Dorgu were in the right back position when the cross for the goal came in, Dorgus foot played Haaland onside allegedly, although we all know it shouldn't have counted because of Enzo, but why the hell was he not at left back close to Haaland???

willysauti52w ago

Interim Carrick was better than this permanent Carrick Maybe Carrick should be fired and then hire Him as interim manager. This team doesn't know how to play from the back, how to break-down a low block, no clear ideal how to press I mean this United team is so easy to play against.

jonny2w ago

Reminds me of performances under this man

rayjud2w ago

Lammens is very weak. Poor positioning, not decisive enough, and inconsistent imo!

geldroper2w ago

No help from defense .

steve.platt72w ago

We aren't good enough to beat 10 men with 11 players 🤔

jonny2w ago

Steve, that’s the concern. As wound up we all are by the VAR decision, end of the day Carrick failed to beat a 10 Man City side and we shouldn’t even be talking about this decision. We have the players to win these games, so what is going wrong?

Bruno The Rat face Cheating B***** Should Be Banned For 6 Matches After That What An embarrassment to Football for Getting Foden Sent Off And You've Got The Cheek To Call Man City Cheats

stephenjholmes12w ago

CLOWN!

geldroper2w ago

115 charges is not cheating right. And the sad part is that Man City will get away with it in some money in the judges pockets

solhabtu48482w ago

instead of taking off Tielemans, it has to be dorgu, he was not the right fit for the left back position, even he can't win one to one duel, and Cunha was below his average performance, so sesko had to start right on the start of the second half

stephenjholmes12w ago

It needed to be a forward coming off. The final 3rd was like a bus queue. No room for anything of a clever attacking nature.

homoar3w ago

no tactical plan against low blocks, players just shoot whenever they want although should try to move forward or create better options/chance with teammates

jjflash4223w ago

I thought after foden went off,our performance had no tempo,maguire and martinez were standing on the ball,where was the urgency from the players +manager.This was a Derby and we show no tempo against 10 men.Dont think donnarumma will have an easier game all season.Their goal was wrong but that was so timid from utd.

kwong55333w ago

Midfield and left back. Dorgu was useless and Tielemans is not the right partner for Mainoo. He is not strong enough defensively.

jackdrury3w ago

The biggest problem was the lack of clear chances being created. Hit the post twice from distance, but took until Mbeumo in the final seconds to have a big chance. Against 10 men, that’s not good enough

dancoombs3w ago

It’s been an issue before against 10 men, vs Everton and Newcastle last season

camerondesc13w ago

Just really poor at creating chances. Can barely remember a shot on target.

markmarston3w ago

Creativity off the flanks… if Bruno doesn’t come up with a moment of brilliance… you’re left wondering who will step up in place of him

thetruthpersonified3w ago

We may as well be coached by Amorim. Not a whole lot of differnce again. Nearly all matches are Amorim levels of clue. We changed formations, but still have the Amorim shadow. There is no Plan A, let alone Plan B. As far as I can tell, the plan is - give it to Bruno and hope! So disappointed as saw this season coming!!

barryroberts723w ago

I agree everything was great for us last season and we are thankful to Carrick and the team for that, but this season we should be banging them in, with the front 3 that we have with Bruno sitting behind we should be scoring loads, not have a gd of 0. Carrick should have brought Sesko on at halftime even better start the game with him.

dancoombs3w ago

I thought both of our full-backs were poor. Dalot and Dorgu did some things well but continue to make needless errors. We paid for one of them. Neither offered enough going forward

rbrown0806503w ago

No tempo in our game. Very few chances created against 10 men. Bruno had a poor game again, but then so did most of the Team.

barryroberts723w ago

Out of the 4 defenders that played today I thought that Maguire had a great game he kept ugly boy in check, then Martinez was marking him and let him run behind for the biggest no goal that was awarded that i have ever seen.
