Nonsense.
If it wasn't for VAR, Sterling's last minute effort would have stood.
Maybe it should have stood?
Ole needs more time to work his players and hopefully new players, he's clearly tactically very flexible and hasn't been affraid to try diferent systems some of which clearly hasn't worked although I'd put a lot of that down to our defensive frailties as opposed to Ole's tactical mishaps. I wouldn't fault Ole for the defeats to Barca and we were very unlcuky in the defeats to Arsenal & Wolves, we play well to an extent in both games and could easily have won both of them. The game in the cup against Wolves was the one game we didn't turn up but I'd put a lot of that down to what happened in Paris a few days earlier. We've been a bit unlucky with injuries too, Lingard, Martial, Matic & Herrera all got injured when playing really well, United were going to have to rely on a bit of luck with injuries to keep going.
We are a bit predictable to play against some times but that can be down to personnel too; A proper right winger is a must as we have nobody who looks comfortable at all on that side. Dalot is a brilliant crosser of the ball and and Luke Shaw is capable of offering more going forward, defensively he's been excellent this season and has improved as the season has gone on. Rashford & Martial are still young players who should continue to improve.
I don't see any reason as long as United buy 3 top players this summer that they can't achieve around 90 points next season with Ole in charge. There's no need for the mass gloom, the squad is no way near as some are making out and is just lacking in a couple of top players in key positions.
Enjoyed the suspense but felt like that offide for the City late goal was a load of bollocks, the City player tried to intercept the ball from Spurs player it hit him and ran into path of Augero, no way can that ricochet be considered a pass, but for their financial doping City can have it with bells on
Hard to believe that 3 of the back 4 last night have lasted as long at the club under 4 different managers and whilst that is not the only problem it is the biggest problem. Defensively not good enough.
I didn't expect them to beat Barca over 2 legs and maybe a glorious failure against PSG would have suited better but the deficiencies have been there to see for a considerable period of time against lesser sides than Barcelona. Wouldn't be overly confident about getting top 4 either so I think it will be a big task to attract the right sort of players in the summer and get the club back onto an upward trajectory. Massively over inflated salaries in the dressing room have created a big problem in that respect dating back to Falcao and Ibrahimovic and now Sanchez. It has created a situation whereby De Gea can walk in and demand £500k per week.
Watched some highlights of the Barca Man U game this morning. I think we can forget about City dropping points at the 03 Arena next week.United actually played very well for 10 mins. Pogba is very frustrating, played a superb ball to put Rashford through, but it was his acting the ballix and losing the ball a couple of times (silly stepovers and no-look passes) that allowed Barca into the game. Young is catastrophic! If he was given a role just to annoy Sterling and do nothing else, he might do that reasonably well, but can't see OGS going that route. As an orthodox full back, Young is not good. Hard to see anything other than a City win. Certainly if they get ahead there'll be no chance of a recovery. Maybe De Gea might have one of his awesome days...
I see also Cardiff won last night, not relegated yet,they will be fired up for Sunday.
Cardiff picking a fine time to find some form!
I'm a bit worried about tonight. If Porto score first, it'll be Game On. If we score we'll be fine, but until then, I'll be nervy. Would love to see Gomez get some action, maybe at full back in the first instance until sure he's back to 100%.
Great win for Tiger. He played the best golf and had the biggest cajonies.
Also Sunday afternoon Golf is brilliant. Wish there was more of it.
God no!! Kids running in and out shouting/dinner ready just before Tiger hit his tee shot on 16 it was horrible couldn't get peace to enjoy it at all!!!
Agreed. Much prefer the late evening finish.
United have been really poor. Very lucky to get a result yesterday. They’ll really need to step it up to rattle city.Utd have some real quality in their team but their commitment is questionable, Pogba being a perfect example. But I think they will lift it for a huge derby game and their best 11 is more than a match for City.
Assume you are on the wind up here?
Few if any Utd players would make the City first 11
And what about the guy who can't make the Utd first 11? City seemed pretty keen on him last year. There's a serious amount of quality in that Utd team. Clubs are not stupid and don't pay huge wages for the hell of it.
No Steptoe and Rising Damp on that list. Wow.
So it's impossible to think anyone else could ever be better?

If that’s a question to me, no. The nature of sport is that playerrs generally improve over time as training, coaching etc keeps improving. What I’m saying is that messi is the best I have ever seen by a distance. In my opinion obviously
Ronaldo is an outstanding player, in any other generation he would be easily regarded as the best in the world but Messi is a freak of nature, a player that it seems impossible to think that there could ever be a better one. Personally, I don't even understand how there is a debate on this question.
See you're mixing your opinion up with fact...
Not enough drive or passion, esp from midfield
Klopp deserves a kick in the hole for not playing Fabinho. And a pat on the back for taking off Hendo and Milner and not Mo.
Got away with that one, but deserved a bit of luck! Hopefully the goal will kick Salah back into gear.
Our keeper starting to look a bit dodgy!
He didn’t score!
You're easily amused then and obviously just a cheerleader.
Hope you've your poms poms ready for Sunday.
