Well that was poor timing.
By the way, i know BSkyB are surrounded by controversy at the minute but to sell Sky Sports to Man City as a result, that is extreme. Not heard such a biased commentary as Nial Quinn produced there for many a year.

Antonio Valencia
Park off for Valencia would do me before 60mins.
Defend as a unit for 90 mins, nope United have never done that.
If anything City will try get a second and now we need to attack, with this side i don't see that happening.
Let's not bitch about the current poor performance but concentrate on what we should change.
Hopefully it stays at 1-0 until we make our inevitable changes.
Bollocks half of football from us. We're better than this, from the tactics and approach from the manager, to the performance and attitude of the players on the pitch - why don't they seem to even want it?
No complaints really. They're just a better team.
Take off your red tinted glasses mate.
They look worryingly better than us. I don't think it would have mattered who we played. In fact if not for 5 in midfield it could have been worse. We have defended excellently until the goal
We need more energy in the second half. Their fullbacks are just pissing us all over. Need valencia in there. And Jones inexperience really showed.
I wish Valencia was playing 
It doesn't matter how many players Fergie put in central midfield we always lose the midfield anyway, we need quality not quantity
feck off then.
Park off Valencia on we have to attack, we need to show some balls a la Chelsea away earlier this season.
Horrible marking by Smalling on that last goal, 4th goal in last two games we have given up by someone falling asleep on defense.
Now the question of the day is, will the 2nd half bring a comeback to save a point or frustration and a bunch of goals for City.

Don't think I've ever heard such one-sided commentary on Sky in my life.
It would make more than a jot in terms of productivity on the rare occasions we do get time and space.
Was relieved to see us reach 45 mins at 0-0. Yet again this season we switch off at the crucial time
We're being outrun and outclassed.
36 yr old Scholes, 38 yr Giggs, Ji Sung Park......that pretty much summarize why.

Be right back while I kick my dog.
Unmarked header...Need Young and Welbeck on for Giggs and Park soon in the second half.
get a grip
We've been so shit its unfathomable. I'm honestly surprised its only 1-0. feck discussing the team selection, thats not my issue, my issue is just how shit we've been going forward. Its a hoof up top and thats it
Young Valencia on Park Giggs Jones off FFS
Nial Quinn's been good hasn't he.
He's offered nothing all season. No idea why it has taken until the end of April to understand this.
Didn't like the look of the team, personally I've always thought that if we're going 433 against a good team than you need Carrick and Fletcher in the middle, then you can play around with the third. Park started alright but as we've said often this season he fades out early and doesn't have the strength or technique to play people in, in the final third which is a problem when we're only gonna get up the pitch rarely with this formation.
Thought scholes has been great so far though, done what he could. Personally think we should get Rooney to drop in to Parks role, Welbeck up top and Valencia/Young for giggs.

Sorry, this is the United forum isn't it?
Support the fecking team!

Closing down Yaya Toure constantly?
I'd get Young or Valencia on for Giggs. He's been so off the pace and Evra can't defend that side on his own.
Time for United to "Man the feck up"
Citeh created feck all, but that was always coming if we kept playing like that.
I feel sick
I hope Sir Alex is a bit proactive with the changes. Need to get Welbeck on, we've been poor with the ball.
Evra gets on my tits though. make an effort to cut out the crosses ffs.

We'll probably make a sub when we're 2-0 down in the 75th minute.
Well, if we're going to play like this - then we don't deserve it.
Absolutely nothing really after the 1st ten minutes.
They've played better, and I hate to say it, they deserve to be in front, yes.
There's absolutely nothing for it. You just got to go and play the way we actually do, and score in the second half.
Get Park off for Valencia, and maybe Giggsy for Welbeck. fecking play the way we do, attack. FFS.

Really hope Fergie takes Giggs and Park off for once but I can't see that happening. We really need to start creating some chances or we're relying on Newcastle to win this title.
The safety first tactics have worked until that goal. But they have gradually been getting the upper hand and we need to respond. I wouldn't be adverse to seeing Valencia and Welbeck come on and watch us attack them with a purpose. We have to score now. We can't afford to sit back and be beaten.
Get it together lads.
