Our next three games are early kick offs  That is horrendous and disgusting, just looked now, not even one fucking 1.30 KO. ALL fucking 12 / 12.30!  Not one manager, including Fergie, has ever got their head fully around the early doors conundrum. If it were me I'd shut up shop, 5 man midfield and play on the counter. Fuck 'em. |

Very disappointing result, but lots of things learned today. All of us calling for Mkhitaryan to start - well, he did and showed exactly why he hasn't been starting in the previous games. No doubt he has bags on talent but he still needs to get used to the pace of the game. I spent the majority of the first half yelling at him to focus and to cut inside - he wouldn't listen :lol: Lingard - no such excuse for him. Shaw got progressively worse as the game went on, I think ed might be right that he's tired. The rest had good games, but in order to win again this City with this manager you need to be on your absolute best. We weren't today, gave up 2 silly goals.
On the bright side - lessons learned, Mourinho's subs were quick and efficient, I thought Fellaini was the standout man today, running and tackling people all over the pitch, Zlatan's finish was class, the attitude of the players was fantastic.

"I made a couple of decisions that I thought individual qualities of certain players would give me what I know that I I want and I didn't get it," he added.
"And at the same time because we were losing the ball so easily under the pressing we were making, we were never able to bring the defensive line up, so we stayed with the defensive line in our half.
"I didn't change after 20 minutes because I don't want to destroy the players, I didn't want to make three changes at half-time because I was afraid in a long 45 minutes something might happen, but if it was a sport in free number of changes and with changes during the first-half is normal, like basketball, I would do after 20 minutes.
Ouch.

Good second half alright .... It helped that we were wide awake from the offset First half was their half no arguments on that ... For me Blind had a mare in the first 45 minutes with a dodgy role in both goals. Picked ourselves up and really could have grabbed a draw..... Clatters gave us nothing The best starting XI dilemma is not solved at all Rashford did bring a serious lifeline when he came on poor Jesse never got his head up feel sorry for him but it was really poor Pogba quiet - Zlatan great goal but strayed offside too often Gutted to lose to them especially at Old Trafford ....... Early days yes but this one will hurt for a while |

I hope so, but ultimately it's his selection. Don't get me wrong, I would have picked Martial and Mkhitaryan and the result would probably be the same or worse but I'm glad he's aknowledged his mistake. And he also acted swiftly to fix it

Blind all day for me,hesitation for the first and no know-how to step out for the second.
I know that I've been banging on about it for a while and he does do a job against weaker opposition but when the big boys come to town he was found out today.....
It's not his fault BECAUSE HE'S NOT A CB!!!!!

Please feel sorry for me I live with a City supporter, she knows F*ck all about soccer but cheers very loud when they score. I have never thought about Divorce but MURDER many times.
My comments have all been said above so I won't repeat them. One thing I will say is that Ibra pulled the trigger too quickly when a deft little touch would have
put him in a better angle to avoid clattering the ball against the opposition.

It's terrible, everywhere I look people are talking about us getting trashed etc etc. Are you kidding me? If you're talking about us being schooled in the first half - yeah, I can understand that, but this was far from us getting trashed. If anything it was one of our best displays in the last 3 years...Don't be so quick to forget that despite the talent we have we still come from 5th place last season

We did not get trashed, although during the first half we looked like being on a good hiding. But Mou turned it around at half time and we could have nicked it but luck was not on our side. Some positives came out of this game. We have a strong manager, some personnel did not perform but all in all it was not catastrophic. Plenty to do on the training ground but hell we finally have a Boss.
