[Raoul]

Predictable result given Pogba's absence. The league has been over for some time.

 

[The Hilton]

The most frustrating thing, by a mile, is that we handed this to them. For all their intricate play they created one chance, and both of their goals came from silly errors at set pieces.

 

[dannyrhinos89]

Always maintained Morata was the better fit for us. Lukaku being found out now for the garbage he is.

Morata is hardly any better tbf although I’d prefer him over Lukaku

 

[Ludens the Red]

People are gonna complain about Mourinho and tactics, conveniently forgetting our set up at Arsenal last week. Ultimately players take the blame for me, it's not acceptable to keep having matches where you can't string two passes together.
Herrera and Lukaku were complete trash. Everybody afraid of the ball. It's not even as if city are great at the back where you need clever passing to get through. If we passed and moved like we did against Arsenal we might have actually gotten something.

 

[AlexUTD]

Sadly with Pogba we would have won im sure of it.Fecking annoying.

 

[pjaya]

City are a great tea, and pep is proving to be a great coach. Credit where it's due.
It sucks not being able to properly challenge for the title the last four years, but it'll taste all the more better when we return to the top.

Yes it’s seems he always get the better of mourinho I wonder why

 

[JustAFan]

Still well behind City and they are built for the long haul. Oh well it's only sport.

 

[2 man midfield]

A complete dinosaur.

Maybe as well have Allardyce in charge.

Time to get rid.

Have a word.

 

[vidic blood & sand]

Man Utd 2:1 Man City - Otamendi (54')

Lukaku should be forced to have this as his screensaver all week.

 

[Vidyoyo]

I said it elsewhere but all our attackers were crap, not just Lukaku.

 

[DevilRed]

We should have come away with a draw.

Lukaku looks fecking gased and his first touch and pace are non existent. Not to mention his finishing in the big matches is atrocious. Had the best chance of the entire match and somehow shot it straight into the keeper.

Really annoys me because its not like citeh were THAT good. We fecking gifted them two goals.

 

[peridigm]

We are so disjointed as a team. Players, tactics, and manager. City will run away with title. I just hope they don't do the double or worse.

 

[Ballache]

We played against what easily is the best team in the league and it showed. I think we kept them out very well actually, 2 mistakes from set pieces cost us the match.
Very Important to regroup and try and finish second now.
We missed Pogba, no quality on the ball when we actually had it and I feel like Lukaku is now under immense pressure to Improve because he looks very bad atm.

 

[Mister_Stubbs]

Yay, 2nd confirmed..

Pathetic, gutless performance at home against the local rivals.. get fecked Jose.

 

[Brigred]

We all thought we were getting drogba but got heskey

 

[the hea]

Herrera and Mata have really become pointless players, they contribute nothing to this team any more and should be replaced asap. Lukaku was terrible and should start the next game on the bench.

 

[12OunceEpilogue]

Very very poor. Bad tactics and terrible application from a host of players.

Young was decent I thought, he tried his best and kept Sané relatively quiet which is no mean feat. Martial was the only attacker with a pair of balls in the first half when City were a mile better than us but benefitted from not being tested in any way until they gifted us a goal.

Second half again they're there to be tested having made a few negative subs, but the gulf in class is so wide they can soak up what little we muster and pick us off. We defended fairly well, but gifted them the winner.

Lukaku needs a break for the good of his mind and body. Go with Ibra up front for a while.

 

[Freak]

I don’t get what the feck we do in training? City schooled us in every department - organisation, ball control, movement, desire. Every thing. The better team won.

Lukaku is a donkey. We made the wrong decision in buying him. Should have spent the money elsewhere.

 

[Oscie]

Wasn't really paying attention to what they said all game but the commentary team made reference a few times to it being a really good game.I thought it was an awful, one-sided match. All we had to offer was long ball. Jose got everything wrong today. Everything.

Having no midfield all game but it taking until the 82nd minute to make a change in midfield was quite something too. Isn't as if long-ball was a last minute desperation tactic either; that was our plan from minute one. Even the City fans caught on and were mocking it very early on.

 

[AXVnee7]

Lukaku cost us pretty much. We were actually starting to grow into the game before he gifted them a second goal, but I don’t feel that was entirely his mistake. Definitely unlucky.

The miss at the end is just inexcusable though. That’s what he brought in to do.

 

[GazTheLegend]

Missed Pogba.

with Pogba we win that game IMO

 

[Snow]

First half was one of the worst performances I've seen at Old Trafford from a United side. Second half wasn't a lot better and overall the football was atrocious. No positives for the manager to take out of the match.

 

[YouOnlyLiveTwice]

A bit of a flat performance i would sat. City didn’t even play that well, we just handed Them the win.

Lukaku won’t be too happy with his performance.

 

[Leftback99]

If the massive gulf in class wasn't obvious before the game it is now. We'll be lucky to hang on to top 4.

 

[walkinhop]

If we defended well and used the counters to our advantage, i would give it to Jose for teaching the team to play in such games.

Since we defended chaotically and hoofed the ball forward without a plan, i would have to say it's embarrassing to see both players and coaching staff being paid so much.

The whole squad + coaches should be fined a month's wages. No, they should be made to relinquish the money themselves. Trying to be funny for myself on the back end of a disappointing match and result.

 

[darko]

Lukaku is crap

He's clumsy and not an elite player. He's bench player quality for a club the size of United. Their offseason target should have been Harry Kane.

 

[settembrini]

Idiotic decision by Mourinho to abandon the successful 3-4-1-2 formation and go back to his one striker + long ball tactic.

 

[BringNaniBack]

Lukaku is the difference between us challenging for the title and challenging for top 4......he makes us only capable of challenging for top 4. He should be nowhere near a title challenging first 11.

 

[SolskjaerHasDoneIt]

Lukaku MOTM.

 

[DevilRed]

I said it elsewhere but all our attackers were crap, not just Lukaku.

Rashford was poor. Lingard at least tried and was decent. Martial was invisible most of the time but did create the best chance of the match which Lukaku missed. Unexcusable.

 

[Massive Spanner]

A complete dinosaur.

Maybe as well have Allardyce in charge.

Time to get rid.

Oh cop on. This place is embarrassing.

We lost to a better team. That's all.

 

[JustAFan]

It's city's year. We just have to suck it up and look to the future.

Again though they are being built to be good for many years.

 

[JonDahl]

Can we start giving Ibra a run again? Lukaku sucked

 

[Nevilles.Wear.Prada]

Lukaku made 2 assists for city today. Impact.

 

[FlawlessThaw]

We were never winning this game without Pogba

Yep they're a much better side than any other team in the League. We're currently playing for the best of the rest right now.

Not only are they the best team, they also have the most luck which adds fuel to the fire that you make your own luck in the game.

 

[MrBest]

Our neighbours came into our home and took dump on the floor. We just watched on disbelief and said nothing. What a effortless performance, the players should be disgusted with themselves as they jist handed city the title. Jose tactics as bad as usual. Lukaku is a waste of money, 75m for a guy who can't run with a football and his job is to kick the ball with his foot. The only players who did anything was matic and de gea.

 

[77]

Pathetic that today

 

[Offside]

No excuses , they are just a lot better than us. People can give out about Jose and his tactics all they like but the fact is that Pep has far superior players to work with.

Is Lukaku ever going to turn up in a big game? Second thoughts if he had not turned up today we might have got something out of the game.

Pep has better players to work with because he bought better. We have Mkhitaryan who is so shit he can’t make the squad and that donkey Lukaku upfront. We haven’t got good enough players in attack and have to address it in January if even possible.

 

[dichinero]

Pogba or no Pogba, our approach would have been the same. Poor, poor, poor!

 

[ManUnitedCanuck]

Missed Pogba

Not a great performance but all goals in the game were terrible, had chances to tie it up

Oliver is so inconsistent within the same match it’s unbelievable...Jesus could have been off with the dive and the blatant clip that is a definite yellow

Mourinho said it, they get away with all the tactical fouls and don’t get punished which kills teams trying to counter on them

We aren’t as terrible as everyone is saying...have missed our best player in many matches this season, are in second place and City have just been on a crazy run with a lot of fortune. That’s only reason people are claiming we are awful overall (I’m alluding to overall, not just this match)
