Greenlizard0 PL & Championship Football Thread ** spoilers ** [5th - 10th March 2022]

City are so frustrating to play against. One of those teams that plays however they want moment to moment and the ref just seems to play along. Want to be rough one second, thats fine. Want to go down under a gust of wind? Sure, thats a foul.

No idea why refs let them get away with it.

Anyway, two really poor goals to concede but it could be worse. Will be interesting to see how the second half goes.

What on earth is AWB up to the start of this half?!

 

[omnomnom]

AWB is terrible.

 

[Calpol]

What on earth is AWB up to the start of this half?!

He's using all of his footballing intelligence.

 

[Calpol]

Fernandes at his mercurial worst today. I wonder if we will see Hannibal get a game? I don't think he's be any worse than Bruno or Pogba.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

City player even steps near Bruno and he’s down

 

[Mekrel]

Bruno doing it again! Losing the ball in a dangerous position and just falling to the ground. Man up FFS.

 

[omnomnom]

City have kicked the ball away several times when they’ve given the ball away. They get away with a lot

 

[Trusty]

Solid yellow. Never a straight red

 

[Purdy]

Lingard slower than maguire

 

[omnomnom]

Lingard slower than maguire

That takes some doing.

I get why the Etihad is always empty. Dull as dishwater.

Game over

 

[C Kent]

You can never count on those Manc ***** to do anything right can you

 

[Purdy]

Big deflection to end it

 

[omnomnom]

You can never count on those Manc ***** to do anything right can you

They’ve stunk the place out.

 

[omnomnom]

Rashford

Balarks this is bobbins.

What's sad about this is that Manchester United have had to resort to fielding players who don't want to be at the club and it's showed. Add that to the fact that none of the players are at the same level as the opposition and I'm surprised it's been as competitive as it has been. Only a clearout can start to address this malaise. Let's hope it's the right ones they get rid of.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

That break summed up the two sides as Neville just pointed out. 6 City players busting a gut to get back and stop the counter attack and no one from United did the same to support Lingard.

 

[Robert]

Just don't understand how we can be so crap at pressing and set pieces (both for and against). So frustrating...as if I'm waiting for august already.

De bruyne flinging Maguire about, pathetic excuse for a Manchester United captain.
