The entire team were heroes for the amount of effort and heart they put in, can't moan at any of them for not putting in a shift. When you consider the might and strength of United's team, and we couldn't even name a full bench, the 2-0 score is fine. You could see at the end so many of them were tired (Abel in particular), I was fearing we would leak more than 1 goal in the last 10 minutes. The weakest player on our side seemed to be Dio, who gave the ball away or fell over a lot. Meyler struggled after Martial came on - Mourhino seemed to spot how weak we were on the wing and then every time he had the ball Martial was all over him. But they aren't criticisms - they seemed to play to the best of their abilities and that's all we can ask of them. The injuries are a worry - at this rate why be'll be getting Kuciak on the bench and on the pitch as an outfield player... As for the Theatre of Dreams - we asked if it was a library, well mausoleum would be more like it. I never knew 70,000 people could be so quiet, it was worse than the KCOM last Saturday!! Proud to be part of the 12th man.
Walking around before the game, it was like being back in Beijing.......hundreds of people taking selfies in their half & half scarfs. Credit to all those who were there for making such a noise......for those who weren't........shame on you !!!
Shame on those who never went. Shame on those who went and continue to support the owners by doing so. Shame on everyone in fact.
The point you make about exploiting the wings is quite correct, however even though it not his normal position Meyler did a better job defence wise that Elmo probably would have. Pity Moses has been out all season.
Tbf it wasn't hard for them to exploit the wings with Diomande giving Valencia acres of space every time. Why was he coming inside when in defence when he was supposed to be picking up Valencia? He never looked over his shoulder, ball watching constantly. I like his attitude but failure to do his job properly is the main reason for us losing that game.
Apologies if it's been mentioned already, but Sky picked up on Rooney giving the ref an extended bollocking last night. They seemed pretty sure he was having a go about Meyler tackling Rashford fairly in the box and the latter going down like he'd been shot (without the mandatory penalty.) It left a bad taste how the ref voluntarily took the abuse and only seemed interested in appeasing Rooney. Add to that the lino waving the offside flag in panic as Dio's header came off the post (not offside) and the compulsory offside goal for United, I suppose we were pretty lucky the score was only 2-0 really.
In one way I was relieved we didn't win because I said before the game that if we did, I'd buy a half'n'half. I think I was giddy from low blood sugar as I hadn't had my pie at that point...
Does anyone support owners ? I support 11 guys who run out on the pitch with City shirts on......I don't care who those players are......it could be a team full of Chris Lee's or a Team full of Messi's......its all the same to me and always will be. I can't recall ever, an owner past or present being part of the starting 11.......maybe Ehab could have taken the spare place on the bench last night to give all 'conscientious objectors' a good excuse for not going lat night !!!!
I must be a stupid twat as well because I liked the post. I understood he was making a point about supporting the team regardless who the owners are. That does not mean to say he likes the owners, just that he does not want to stop going to games because of the owner. How did you read it ???
