They weren't great.
Though saying that?
The way United played in the second half wasn't half bad was it?
im surprised you had the stomach to sit through Liverpool going top after your lads got humped by forest
The struggle was real.
Feels like Villa and the Toon have been found out now. Will be interesting to see if either of them can step up again.

And that’s the trick isn’t it. When you’re found out, can you do something differently? The very best coaches can.
Hope both can, it's good to see different teams having a go

Villa were always 'so-so' on the road but their home record saw them get as high up as they did.
Tactically Emery left it too late to make changes- even in the 1at half when they were 2-0 up United were carving through the Villa midfield but just wasteful in final third - should have tightened it up much earlier IMHO.
Newcastle just playing badly. I know they've had injuries but the players still in the team aren't playing at their usual level either. They've now got only the FA cup to play for - if I was the owner I'd bring the new manager in ASAP so he has half a season to build his team and get the tactics implemented so they can start next season at full tilt
Eddie Howe has a few injuries, sitting in 8th - under no pressure, hailed as a genius
Eric ten hag, many more injuries, sitting in 6th, just a matter of time before big Jim sacks him
Funny old game
West Ham sitting between them with a game in hand. Manager won them their first trophy for forty odd year and all you hear on talksport is the fans want him gone.
It is a funny old game.
I suspect a team nobody wants to play on current form is Bournemouth. They've won 6 of the last 7 and the one they didn't win was an injury time equaliser by Villa.
There's a vocal minority on KUMB about wanting Moyes gone. Probably the same ones who phone up TalkSport. Can't see it myself nor can many other supporters.
Also they should be careful what they wish for as we have had some right shockers in the past including "big name" Pellegrini who was awful.
Thankfully the owners got Moyes back again after his departure.
Cheers,
Neil.
If United do manage to get it together the next couple of seasons coupled with the reemergence of Arsenal and Newcastle / spurs in the mix the prem will a fantastic watch.
A proper top 6 all going for the league would
be superb.

It is a funny old game. It depends where you started from and what expectations are though. Oh and they’ve not had anywhere near as many injuries as us. Just saying.
The injury to Antonio seems to have been a bit of a blessing as it's forced Moyes away from his Plan A tactic of trying to hit the centre forward and hope it sticks long enough for him to bring the midfield into play... not having anyone who can do that job has meant he can play Paqueta, Bowen and Kudus in a far more fluid way and far more to their strengths.
Ultimately West Ham fans want exciting, flowing, attacking football but also a decent league position and bit of silverware would be nice... We haven't really had the former for quite a while but Moyes has delivered the latter. We'd be crazy not to renew his contact in the summer (ideally well before).
Liverpool had 21 injuries last season in the first 23 games.
Van Dijk, Konate, Matip, Gomez, Robertson all out at one point.
We were playing 5/6th choice centre backs.
In midfield Keita, Jota, jones, ox, Diaz, were all injured for over 13 games in those first 20 games.
That’s football.

And now Mudrykh has scored as well. The world's changed.....
Anyone watching on Amazon Prime - the resolution is terrible for me ...

Fine for me. Maybe broadband speed on your end?
Virgin at 1000mbps - so it isn't my broadband speed... All other streams work in UHD on multiple devices.

Watching via the app on Sky no problem.
As a CFC supporter fully expect to loose this game and Poch to get his P45 especially as Steve Cooper is now available
I FEEL LIKE I'M DIAGONALLY PARKED IN A PARALLEL UNIVERSE
What the heck has happened to the Man City defence? They look really panicky.
Proper snarling, in your face team, hard but fair. Very tough to play against as their shape is so good.
The Merseyside Atletico
Chelsea sneaked through that one. Nice pen.

They’ll still win the league.
Anyone have a clue how the hand ball rule is implemented these days, or does it just depend on which teams are playing?
Nobody knows anymore.
Bernado. Little dancer !

Picture perfect for me
Not if they defend like this they won't. Better teams will take advantage more ruthlessly than Everton. Can you imagine Salah against City's back line playing like they are tonight?

They will win the league. Best club side in the world with the best players and the best manager. Trust me, they’ll win it.
City’s first half summed up most of their season. Dominated possession, created loads of chances and took none then conceded from poor defending.
Don’t see a City title this season myself.
Grealish is horrendous. Don’t understand how he even gets a game for City.
Slow slow, chop back on the right foot, repeat for 90 mins.
Awful.

At first glance I agreed with you. And that’s from a City fan. But I’ve seen so many games when his possession of the ball and exactly that slowing down has frustrated opponents and also given City control of phases of the game when we can look ragged. Everyone saying Doku more exciting but he ends up losing possession too frequently

He does need to drive forward more though otherwise Doku will get the nod over him more and more. He’s been a frustrating watch this season for me. Last season he was superb but he’s definitely gone backwards this season. That said he takes two or more defenders with him when he’s on the ball that it opens up space elsewhere on the pitch.
Stats baby , stats
I’ve just looked his stats are poor too ?
Goal every 8 games, assist every 6.5.
Awful player no wonder Pep got Doku in.
First time I’ve ever concentrated on watching him properly. I went to match last night with family and 2nd half he was on my side. I’ve heard people mention he does the same thing over and over but actually seeing him just slow slow cut back right was painful viewing.

Maybe he should try 60 yard non long balls for someone to chase ?
I’m surprised you weren’t in the dugout with your football knowledge .
Maybe he should try 60 yard ‘long balls’, young Trents assist to game ratio is double Jacks playing from right back.

I thought I was on ignore?
2nd out of play goal given against Arsenal this season lol
Do we think Arsenal fans will stop whining about the goal at Newcastle now that the same thing has happened at their own ground?
No was still out but given Odegaard should have conceded a penalty at Anfield it has evened out
