***Rags v City Official Match Thread***

[salford city]

Fuck me boys belting secondhalf. Well done. On ordsall quays now dont let the door hit you on the way out of the boozer you scruffy cunts.

Can't remember the last big game that Haaland stepped up and did anything

I think he’s been pretty shite whenever we’ve played a majority of must win games against top teams and also against the Munchens.

He’s been one lazy cunt in today’s matxh so far - walking. Around and not even hassling their players.

Semenyo is slow as fuck and I’d take him off this half - get that ex Everton player on.

Top Derby scorers in the PL era:

9 Goals, 8 Apps: Erling Haaland
8 Goals, 13 Apps: Sergio Aguero
8 Goals, 21 Apps: Wayne Rooney

Ouch

Enzo basically falls over. All this hoo haa has glossed over the fact Martinez was ball watching, he was no where near Enzo to actually make a decent challenge on him anyway and then he deliberately lets the ball run because he thinks his job is done but didn't realise Haaland was behind him.

Quite funny how it's progressed from Haaland being offside, to Enzo interfering with Martinez and then by the end Neville's high pitched whine was going on about it interfering with the goalie when he clearly tracked the ball across the box and tried to save Haaland's shot. Demanding Pigmol delete their tweets and issue an apology. Quite embarrassing how much his head has gone. Also completely detracts from the dodgy red card and the fact United were terrible against 10 men.

I think we lose that match if Guardiola is still the manager. There is a fight in the team that has been missing in recent years. Not the Foden type of fight which was stupid, but the type shown by Guehi, Anderson, Nunes and Enzo. Won this game by hard work and determination rather than being brilliant. Exactly what we've been missing for a couple of years.

Could see how focused Guehi was when sky interviewed him at half time. Didn't want to dwell on the red was just wanting to get back out and do his job.

Dias had some flack (deservedly so) recently. But this kind of game was perfect for him to demonstrate what he's good at.

Being interviewed at halftime has to be an American thing.

To clarify, my intention in this particular rant was to ensure the München's were not included in the 'against top teams' comment of mine.Cannot say United are a top team in any shape or form.
Today I honestly thought it was the worst game he's ever played (goal aside) as he was lazy, didn't challenge and didn't run.

He never sweated a drop today...got away with it with a great goal.

[sheblue]

Nunes was fantastic today.
Easily the most underrated right back in Europe.

Foden will be out for 3 matches........who steps in ?

Both spot on.

Indeed.

Both Sky and the BBC are droning on about how hard done rags are, and how it was never a goal.

The funny bit is the BBC article is 90% complaining about the goal, with a bit tagged on about the red card. In the comments section, all anyone's talking about is the reed card.

Ndiaye?

[Harry Dowd scored]

I don’t give a French man’s fuck, we won end of

[carl_feedthegoat]

Foden will be out for 3 matches........who steps in ?

Ndiaye?

He gets 10 out of 10 for effort today but he still needs to learn to play the easy ball at times...lost possession so many times.

[Kippax Sean]

That performance all things considered was absolutely unbelievable. I like Maresca already more than Pep, that celebration at the end was fantastic. The attitude and will to win will galvanised the team, they can look around at each other and say f#cking yeeesss we are a f#cking team now! In hindsight Foden stuck up to the rat weasel and showed he is 10 times the person that horrible c#nt is and everyone saw it. Fernández and Anderson are truly world class. That reignited my passion and love for City today back up to a full tank it's been in the red a few times the past couple of years. Love it.

[Nick]

Cant come down from that.

Anderson and guehi are fucking class.

Some team performance and theres too many opportunities to boil piss.

From them inventing the offside rule to allow rashfords goal, to rat kicking Foden, to the scum not scoring against an open net in the warm up, to Foden having as many key passes as the rat.

The thing is, we all know if the situation was reversed, they wouldn't give the goal a second thought. That's the pathetic thing

[Sparklehorse]

I just cannot understand the fuss about the goal. Haaland is onside, played on by the defenders foot, so imagine a free kick is played into a penalty area and there are 4 attackers and 5 defenders, 3 of the attackers are in an offside position when the kick is taken but all are engaging defenders, the ball flies 6” over them to player 4 who was onside and scores, is it a goal ? Of course it fucking is, no fuss, no debate.

I didn’t see the match yesterday, I was driving home from Nottingham, so I listened to 5 live and for the 95 mins of the game they actually let me know what was happening on the pitch for about 10 of those minutes. All they could talk about was Foden, and then of course the goal. It was dreadful, fucking morons. A brilliant win.
