Tbf I thought Conte did the opposite of his usual game plan today. Usually your first half is playing cautious, sitting back... until you go a goal down then you start attacking. Today you went forward in the first half and got a couple of goals.

When you came out after the break I expected Conte to do in the 2nd half what you normally do in the first. And that's where it went horribly wrong.

That’s the problem, when we attack we’re actually quite good at it. Conte doesn’t seem to like us doing that over 90 minutes though.

Robbie was, and is, a bit of a knob... but he did put a shift in when he played ... even if his 'ability' was somewhat limited <laugh> .

A few years ago towards the end of his career (cant remember the team but it was a second tier game) he went steaming in to a tackle against a Watford player, he saw it coming and avoided the tackle and Robbie went off injured much to the amusement of our fans

Turned out he had fractured his fibular and he vented his spleen on social media accusing us of laughing because he broke his leg until it was pointed out to him that his tackle was so reckless that the ref was undecided wether to book him or send him off

He still hates us tho

You needed to control the game for the first 15 mins after coming back out. Not sure your midfield is capable of doing that? City were bound to come out all guns blazing, if you'd got through that initial period they would've resorted back to the tippy tappy ****e they were doing in the first half, going nowhere.

But, but, but that would have left Arsenal 8 points clear, they seem to prefer being humiliated to seeing Arsenal do well;

The fans might, I doubt the players do.

I remember Matth getting absolutely rinsed on here for stupidly suggesting United would want to lose to City to prevent Livpl winning the league. I doubt Spurs would want to either.

Yeah our midfielders aren’t really the controlling types, Bissouma is but Conte doesn’t utilise him correctly nor does he play him that much, when he does he keeps playing him as a DM instead of the progressive ball carrying type he was at Brighton that made him one of the best CMs in the league.

There’s a lot of hate on the running of the club at the moment and rightly so but Conte’s doing ****ing awful. Any semi-competent attack minded manager gets so much more from this team. He’s gone in 6 months (or possibly less) though, as is Kane I think, so there’s gonna be a big summer ahead for the club.

Losing 4-2 away to City isn’t humiliating…humiliation would be 5-0

and your ****ing bang on the money

don’t want to see Arsenal do well because not all of us are simps

If anyone doesn’t understand that statement from a Spurs fan

then they are the knobhed tbh and don’t follow the game

City fans are cheering on United on Sunday
