Watching that game made me miss Old Trafford so much, or at least be walking along the Quays during the build up before the game. City were toothless. I LOVE that we shithoused the goal to equalise and I almost lost it when Rashford scored. Ole helped me enjoy watching this team but Erik Ten Hag already has something much more cohesive. We will dip at some point this season and that'll probably depend on injuries and some luck. Martial wasn't great but we missed his ability up front to allow us to try and have the ball stick slightly further up the pitch, even though that's never b6 points

We need a new goalkeeper a proper VDS or Schmeichel. This buffoon threatened to be like them but he is now prone to absolute 3rd rate keeping mistakes and it's been like this since OGS took over to the present time. He has been responsible for proper howlers. His saving grace are and still his super saves some just outrageous. He and United more importantly can't rely on his super saves. Modern goalkeeping is far more than that. Like @hdcantonasaid his command of the area is bad.. just bordering on the cowardice. Even tonight (Arsenal) he punched a ball that just looped in the air a few m5 points

Today was why Dalot won that spot. He struggles technically, especially when pressed or in tight areas, and his passing forward leaves a lot to be desired, there was a moment under RR last year when Dalot ran forward to the ball, cut slightly inside before playing a forward pass down the wing (disguised) with his left foot - I forget to who, possibly elanga, but it was the kind of thing AWB doesn't even think about trying. He also inexcusably lost his man *again* (Carl Anka from the Athletic literally 2+ years ago did a thread on twitter showing all the times we've conceded a goal at the5 points

It is really not more complex than it looks - It's just that the will of the accuser has changed. I've no doubt they've co-opted to tell authorities that actually there was more to it, that there was mutual fighting, that cuts/bruises were sustained elsewhere, bdsm etc. Whatever could be said to legally crush the case. The reality is if those images and audio were anything but what they appeared then Greenwood and his legal team would have instantly said as much before he was roundly condemned in the public sphere. They would have gone on the offensive from the jump. They didn't beca4 points

I knew it wasn't going to go well when her dad came out with those comments after the story broke initially. Yeah, because it's not her pressing charges. It makes it nearly impossible to convict him. Your key witness is too afraid/brainwashed to fight back. Standard domestic abuse behaviour. They always go back to their abuser. Neville is close friends with Giggs, so what do you expect. Not one conviction between Partey, Mendy and Greenwood. Women really do have it hard.4 points

They got the decision correct according to the updated laws, but the laws are bullshit. There's no way that should be allowed. The victory is even sweeter after reading all the city tears though.4 points -

Joao Felix with a great start to his PL career - red card for a high challenge.4 points -
What a weird scenario. She gets back with him after he assaults/rapes her. He gets back with her after she outs him to the public as being a scumbag. Ending his career (hopefully). Thats such a strong relationship right there, I'm sure now that the case has been dropped im sure they'll both live happily ever after. At least for a few months more.. Club need to check all legal avenues, and if theres no way we can terminate the contract, we buy him out and let him go. Cant accept him back.3 points

Looks like an all round midfielder to me. Athletic, physical, can carry the ball forward and knows how to pass. With weghorst, sabitzer and martinez you see a pattern of signing tough characters. Malacia also has good workrate and desire. We had many players with that mentality under fergie so it's a good step in the right direction.3 points -

He's been a good signing for us all things considered, but he shouldn't be playing in the big away games. Certainly not in a deeper role anyway, and especially if Casemiro is out. In both the City and Arsenal games away he's really struggled with the pace of the game and was completely overrun. He's never been a monster physically of course, but with his obvious injury/health issue he now really doesn't have the energy or legs to be be able to compete. He doesn't have the defensive intelligence to make up for it either. If he played in a 3 with another two players who can cover for h3 points

He is such a disaster with his reluctance to come off his line and his dreadful ball playing ability (or lack thereof) - he also now consistently gets way too much credit for saves, the nketiah chance was hit right at him and while it was close range any championship level gk would be expected to save that - he also took a step the wrong way before saka's goal as if that shot was ever going anywhere else... I'd rather he didn't stay but if the new heavily reduced contract talks ring true I can live with it as long as we still bring in a *real* GK to compete (no more fannying about loanin3 points

I think anyone who can afford to buy us will have some sort of skeleton in the closet so to speak, so I think Ratcliffe would be the best of a bad bunch tbh. I've never understood the desire for wanting an owner who will just splash the cash, on players anyway. For all of the Glazers' failings, we've still spent huge amounts of money over the years to no avail. I just want someone who knows how to run a club effectively, or at least who knows someone who does. Whether that's Ratcliffe I have no idea - I'd think a lot of people who are spending the amount it'll cost to buy us will wan3 points

That was a huge win. People were questioning our results recently because of the standard of opposition (despite beating Liverpool and Arsenal earlier in the season), so to get a win against City is an important result. To also show the character to fight back from being a goal down should give us even more confidence. We deserved at least a point, but probably the win. City had the possession, but aside from their goal didn't really pose a threat. We were more dangerous with our possession, albeit I was worried we were going to regret not making the most of our opportunities when City we3 points

We went to shit when he went off, even when he's struggling (imo, clearly carrying a knock of some kind, no way is he fully fit, especially visible in person) While not doing much today he was a focal point that held it up well and the others played off him well Hopefully we get similar or more from weghorst and that's enough to let martial recover3 points

It is hard for the club to not take him back if he has not been prosecuted by the law. If utd get rid of him then it'll seen as the club not respecting the legal outcome. If they keep him then they will be seen as turning a blind eye to someone who many believe has committed abuse against women. Personally i think it should never get to this point. If such charges are made then there has to be a thorough court case because in these circumstances the accused ends up looking like they're guilty especially if it's a high profile figure.2 points -
A bit out of the blue this to say the least. I didn't expect to see us doing any business, even with Eriksen's injury, but I think we do need another midfielder now that he's out. Despite his (decent) pedigree I can't really say I've really noticed him much, so no idea what he'll bring. It'll be interesting to see how the move works out.2 points

Initially back up but wouldn't be shocked to see him starting soon enough tbh I think of him as a better slightly further forward version of Fred in some ways2 points

First half performance was good after they got off to a fast start. This second half drop off is becoming a theme though. Antony especially seems to just be dead on his feet before an hour has gone. He has to show a lot more, not even looking to be worth half the price we paid. Should have seen some more subs but it's always easy to say with hindsight. Weghorst is white Heskey and nowhere near good enough for this level. People's low expectations will see him escape criticism but there has to be higher standards than that. AWB and De Gea showcased why they can't be here long term.2 points -
Spoken like a TRUE KING! Manchester United legend, Eric Cantona has told Al-Nassr forward, Cristiano Ronaldo that he must accept “he is not 25 years old” and follow the examples of veterans Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Ryan Giggs, and Paolo Maldini. Cantona believes Ronaldo could have handled his second spell at Old Trafford in a different manner despite his status diminishing to a squad role at Man United. Ronaldo parted ways with Man United in a bitter exit after stating he felt “betrayed” by the club and had little respect for their manager Erik ten Hag, and former interim coach Ralf2 points

I just love Atalanta's business model. They have been raided over the past few seasons. Bastoni, Kessié, Cristante, Kulusevski, Mancini, Amad, Catagne, Ibañez, Romero, etc. Yet they always rebuild thanks to brilliant scouting and a good Academy setup. Still pushing for CL again this season with a new look team. Scalvini has come through their Academy system, Lookman has been on fire, and Højlund is looking like another big talent.2 points

They say Di Canio's volley was one of the best ever...well he's been trumped by Gnonto. Wow just wow! The lad has bundles of talent he'll be snapped up in the summer imo. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/football/643255212 points

It'll be good to get him back. He's obviously been underwhelming but has shown his talent in flashes, and our lack of depth in the squad is a problem so having someone else to call upon would be good. Hopefully Ten Hag can get him into a good place and we start seeing the best of him more often/2 points

It's crazy that for all his ability, Foden doesn't have a defined role in this City team. He's often forced to play wide left. He should be utilised like David Silva was. A central role, between the lines. He's too technically gifted to be on the periphery of games. Grealish and Mahrez make the difference tonight.2 points
