This has worried me all season. The lack of pressing. UTD were excellent at it.

We've looked nervous all season.

It's as if the team don't believe they should be in the division but they've earned their chance by their performances last season.

Unfortunately, despite their very best efforts they are lacking in composure and self belief and the gulf in ability between our players and teams in the top ten of this league is absolutely massive.

I've noticed it a few times against the bigger teams. When we are in games players go that extra yard.

Also noticeable how much more strength united had today.

Not much sense and absolutely no backbone in any of the above comments.
It was a grand cock up but it won't hurt us too much as long as no one listens to these people .

I agree with the previous comments.they definitely seem frightened unfit and lack backbone.they gave manure far too much respect.if they showed as much passion as the fans at least they would go down fighting.

Turned up as if they had lost the game already.

A Malky team would have never had turned up like that.

You sit off these teams and let them play they will punish you.
They pressed us to win the ball back but we never pressed at all .gave them to much space and time on the ball.
Hate to say this bamba had a bad game aswell.
I was screaming get in to em didn't happen all game dissapointing.
Positive was Zahore looked good have us a bit more up top he has to start looked a threat .
Looking to United isn't going to define our season but 5-1 hurts a lot.
Onwards and upwards move on let it go done now.
Bring on palace .

Hate to suggest this (I'm a massive fan of his) but maybe some of Neil Warnock's negative press comments are actually having a psychological effect on some of the players, so they are turning up not expecting to compete in certain games?

Having said that, I thought United played well yesterday. Their new found quick passing game and freedom to attack allowed them to make City look very pedestrian at times

Not singling any player(s) out on this thread but a number will hopefully be chomping at the proverbial bit to make amends versus Crystal's Palace on Wednesday :thumbright:

Bruno has to go to CH, i know this means dropping Bamba or Morrison and also probably Peltier at RB, but the CH partnership needs changing and quickly.

First time yesterday there was discontent among'st the fans, not pretty walking out of the game with some of the comments.

We desperately need a performance and a result at Palace.

From that one game yes it was a shadow of a team that played v Southampton and Wolves couple weeks back.

Not disagreeing with you Wez, but how an earth can our players not be "up for it" at home in front of a full house, live on tv against man utd is beyond me.
