Post-match discussion


Sat, 06 February 2021

We have the lowest defensive IQ I’ve ever seen. An so weak both physically and mentally.

An someone please bloody glue Maguire's fringe to his forehead! Cos I’m sick of every time the camera cuts to him, he’s fixing his hair!
 
Hardly any replays but did DCL control it with his arm?
 
Why doesn't De Gea just pump that late free kick into touch in the corner, and pin them in on the throw in. With only seconds to go, why lob it into the middle of the pitch to contest a 50-50?

Sickening to draw a game we largely dominated, but 3 horrible defensive lapses have cost us dearly. Clearly we are not up to a title challenge, these games were the ones we were getting lucky and edging earlier in the season.

City are showing that a title push needs to be built on a rock solid defence. Right now, we're miles off that with our up and down performances at the back.

For me, if we don't give that soft first goal away we likely see that one out. Give Henderson a run of games, what's to lose? DDG is already costing us games.
 
Until that defence is sorted then forget winning everything. Why can we not close a game down, Are they been reminded it needs doing. Take the ball into the corner. Get fouled anything, into row Z anything.
 
Honestly thought it was the best we have played in a long time. But as usual someone makes mistakes. De Gea was at fault for two goals. Costs of too many goals in the last three seasons. Needs replacing. Fed up with the same thing every 7/8 games.
 
The amount of sloppy goals we concede is fecking ridiculous. They had nothing all game, how in the feck did they get three goals from that?
 
Good going forward, awful at the back. The managers regular inability to influence the game after the first whistle is again in the spotlight for me. As soon as the match starts to the moment it finishes he is a spectator. If he ever did anything to get a touch line ban not a single player would notice.

He sends them out, then for 90 minutes he sits biting his lip. The contrast between that and Ancelotti who was constantly in his technical area trying to tactically influence the game is the same what we see every game
 
You were the better team over the course of the game and deserved the win. We deserved something for our perseverance and determination to not lose but that's on you completely.
We played well enough but a team that gives away three goals like these at home doesn't deserve to win, sadly.

This time we created and scored enough to win two games but you just can't defend like this in the Premier League.
 
Seriously how do you win anything with players who silly moment in games? Axel and De Gea can't be on the same team. Both at fault in our last defeat. I can't understand why Ole brought in a sub but this sub has lost us points. 1st goal was a gift to Everton for another De Gea howler. Dropping points for no reason. Axel is a liability, I think he shouldn't be near XI.
 
We need a new goal keeper for sure. if they don't think Henderson has what it takes, then get someone else.

If we'd played completely shit but honestly we should have won that comfortably. So disappointed. You cannot afford to be giving away stupid goals at this level.

We should be celebrating the lovely goals and those 3 points, but here we are....
 
Absolute cowardice from De Gea for the third goal and the first was equally stupid. Spoilt what was a very good performance from most of the team.
 
Tuanzebe should have been on 89’ minute. Ole just gives ref opportunity to add what time he wants .. Ridiculous 2 points dropped. Missed chances galore.
Should have been home and dry.

Anyone remember Ole giving a foul like that back in the day and the away team equalized? Not sure ??
Gutted as we looked so sharp and in control first half.
 
Was the 4 - 4 not enough? feckers.

DCL celebrating like they’d won the match. Should’ve put it to bed way sooner. Everton were crap but our defence basically let them score with every shot.
 
We will never win a title with this defence. We’re like a petrol station at the back, open 24/7, we’ll let anyone in.
 
We have a lot of quality in the squad but when it matters the most we bottle it hard. We're not champions mentality wise and this game seals it for me from that perspective.
 
We conceded 3 goals in that second half. That's fecking awful. You can't concede 3 goals in one half and then expect to win a game. Stupid. That Tuanzebe sub for Greenwood is horrific. Needless, trying to be clever and it cost us points. Pissed off now, tbh.
 
At least it puts paid to title nonsense. Too many frailties. Hope we can stay top four.
 
We are effectively 8 points behind City. All De Gea needed to do was to delay his GK and not concede possession.
 
Well, that’s that for the title, we’ve shown we’re not ready yet. Top four is our level this year.

In truth we were alright for much of the match, but chucking away that two goal lead was absurd. The late equaliser, well, it was crap, but we shouldn’t have even been in that situation. The problem was the start of the second half. We needed to stay solid for 10 or 15 minutes while they came at us, which teams always do when they’re losing at half time. See out that spell and we win the game. Instead it goes back in the mix.

De Gea had a mare. What a time to flub a simple ball. Maguire and Lindelof looked painfully exposed against a bit of pace. The whole team looked nervous second half, but who wouldn’t be with those guys behind?

Midfield and attack were decent. Three goals should be enough to win a game however you look at it. Bruno’s amazing goal feels overshadowed.

Gutted really.
 
Everyone will look at De Gea but I counted 6 or 7 times Rashford was in a GREAT position and made poor decisions. We should have been out of sight long before their equaliser!
 
Total freak result. We were in complete control of the game. DDG looking shaky. No idea how we didn't get 3 points there. Bruno goal was class though.
 
Tuanzebe should be transfer listed. Should not have given away that foul. Not good enough.
Ole should not have brought him on - trying to be too clever. We dominated possession, what the feck did he think Tuanzebe was going to improve???!! He is not Maldini!!!
I am sick of this.
This is on Ole and on Tuanzebe.
 
Leicester
Sheffield United
Everton

criminal results. We are not a serious team
Well, a draw away at Leicester isn't a criminal result, it's more the manner of it that was frustrating.

No words for this one though, we basically gifted Everton a point.
 
Infuriating is an understatement. We absolutely dominated the game. Strolled through it.

Purely for the incompetence of one man, that is a routine 3 points. Hang your head, De Gea. An absolute disgrace.
 
Honestly thought it was the best we have played in a long time. But as usual someone makes mistakes. De Gea was at fault for two goals. Costs of too many goals in the last three seasons. Needs replacing. Fed up with the same thing every 7/8 games.
This is just bloody ridiculous. We have an 80m cement truck at the back, who's not got the positional sense and ability on the ball to compensate for his other flaws, yet our goalkeeper is supposed to cover for his errors?

How far are people willing to go to protect Maguire? Jesus fecking chirst.
 
For 80 minutes of the match, we put in a performance worth of league contenders. The 10 minutes at the start of the second half, however, showed exactly why Manchester City will be Premier League champions. The final equaliser was just the punctuation point.

Can’t see the upside in continuing to play De Gea. We know he’s not the future. We might as well learn whether Henderson could be.

Not sure that’s what Ole called for when demanding a tribute to the Busby Babes. I’ll resist any plane crash analogies.
