Very good performance Today, Martial was very good along with Luke Shaw while the team executed the game plan very well. What is frustrating is looking at what could be, looking back over recent results and we've dropped 9 points to four teams we should of been beating and been within 2 points now and that's not even thinking about the games vs Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea were I think if we'd of give it a real go we could of come away with all the points. Overall there is progress and we are probably the 2nd best team in the country at the moment but we could and should be much closer to city. If only we were a little braver in certain games but credit to ole because once again he gets his tactics spot on against pep.

Agreed. I think the problem is that we lack a plan B. Our results against the top six have been solid since Ole can in with us picking up quite a few wins and rarely getting beaten. Sadly, against a lot of smaller teams we rely far too much on moments of individual brilliance where we should instead be setting up in such a way as to make our superior quality count. Lining up with two holding midfielders against teams who offer very little going forwards is both frustrating and nonsensical and has resulted in us drawing and losing a lot of games that we should have been winning comfortably. It’s negative, overly cautious and boring to watch and is the reason why we’ll finish this season fighting for a place in the top four rather than the title. It’s frustrating, because it’s almost like Ole has mastered the hardest part but is for whatever reason unable to do what most managers could do if places in his position.

On one hand we think what could have been if we’d won a few more games. On the other hand we expected a battle for the top 4 and some on here said we’d be lucky to finish in the top half.

Luke Shaw was excellent and has been for most of the season now. He’s been our best player imo.

Everyone did well apart from Fred. He takes too many touches and I really have no idea what’s going to happen when he’s in possession.

Still no reason to really focus on negatives after a derby win. City’s winning run is over and that’s thanks to us so let’s enjoy it 👊.

If we aspire to be the best we need to be able to play and nit just rely on counter attacks. Teams will just sit deep and wait til tjiz current Utd run out of ideas. The better opposition with their shooting boots on will beat us.

We need a plan B and the players to implement it. We are so far behind City because we ate nowhere near good enough to be title winners. don't let yesterdays admittedly hood performance obscure the truth.

I’m sorry Salford, but I have to disagree with you on that. We were top of the table a month or two ago and had we set up a little more positively in some of the games since then we’d still be there or thereabouts now.
