here come the post match reactionaries

We knew what transfers are needed before the game, doesn’t change anything

fact is city are the best team in the world by a country mile with a ridiculous squad depth

lads did all they could today, some times you just have to applaud these c***s

Yes I’m about to jump off a cliff typing this …..forza Milan I suppose

Them men got Ake, Mahrez, Laporte, Alvarez, Foden on the bench and we have to do with Eriksen and Sancho as starters

Literally any midfielder that can run instead of Eriksen and that first goal would not have happened

No one from this starting xi gets in theirs lol. A miracle this wasn’t a 4-nil thrashing

It’s literally that our defence has been so solid cus it’s the only thing that delivered us a cup and top 4 this season

Every April/May around the finals/semi finals of these cups (obviously not the CL though cause United haven't be in a CL semi since 2011 lmao) I'll remember "Oh yeah, around this time in 2020/21/23 De Gea cost United in a cup". Get rid of him and Glazers and maybe we can talk about ending the cycle of f***ery but keep him even in a glorified Tom Heaton role and I don't how much progress can be made

we say be ruthless after every big loss but you can clearly see the players were coached to compete today but just lack the ability

if we seriously back ETH I have no doubt we will be back - even next season if we get it right this summer

My manager

As an honest United fan, I believe the club should do everything in its capacity to ensure a long-term commitment from De Gea.

Commitment = commitment to stay the f*** away

Foden and mahrez too.

The penalty gives like 0.8 XG overall we were definitely not creating as much as city imo

Yeah our tactics were fine not much you can do the quality gap is big

It’s a tough one with the tactics because the personal quality is just not there.

If we played the exact same way, with a better keeper and midfielder (Eriksen) how much better do we do?

Well that’s the thing my friend, with different personal comes different tactics

ETH has tried to play to the best of this teams ability

Add a GK that can play out from the back, a midfielder that can carry the ball under pressure and maybe a f***ing striker you will see a complete different team

It’s not rocket science

yeah imagine we actually get those 3 positions filled. wow

When you realise we’re never seeing Weghorst in a United shirt again

I think Maguire too. 4th choice now, like he'll wanna go somewhere for a Euros year me thinks

his contract expires doesn't it? idk why we're even considering doing another year, 2 years etc with him.

yeah even if we won, the transfers are obvious.

Has he played to the individuals though? We still pass it round the back and have all season with Maguire, De Gea etc in the squad.

Plenty of times this season it’s been raised into question why we play the way we do as the manager should be aware of strengths/weaknesses.

As Keane said, De Gea has gotten away with murder thanks to a terrible back line. Now that’s not a thing as much.

Let’s see if the same will happen with Ten Hag once he gets more of “his squad” after another summer in charge.
