England probably a missed penalty away from a positive result against the world's best nations... sigh. Decent performance I thought.
The lack of shame and contrition from Manchester City in Khaldoon’s statement is reflective of (the majority of) their fanbase.
Just blindly insisting they are innocent will not wash; many fans are making themselves look silly by backing the club to the ends of the earth.
Why isn’t @FabrizioRomano tweeting about the Manchester City charges?
Just recorded an emergency pod with @nqatpod re the City charges. Tried desperately to stay professional, possibly didn't succeed.

Simon Pearce, Sheikh Mansour, Khaldoon Al Mubarak, David Pannick, Simon Heggie, Pep Guardiola, City_Rabin, Stefan Borson, can you hear me? Your boys took a hell of a beating ...
Always a pleasure. Give it a listen here #mufc

It's still a poor result and Carrick really isn't helping himself:
🚩 Persisting with Cunha up front
🚩 Taking Mainoo off
🚩 Zirzkee first sub
🚩 The lack of intensity on the touchline (feel like it's reflecting on the pitch).
#mufc
The lack of intensity in this Manchester United team is frightening. Why aren't they sprinting for every ball? #mufc
United are playing some lovely football at times in forward areas, but their lack of a proper CDM is so clear. Every team they play finds joy between the lines.
Look at King and Iwobi today. #mufc
Lammens keeping United in the game right now. Shaw keeps being drawn inside and leaving King free. #mufc
At Burnley to see two of the bottom three in the Championship take on each other. The losing manager could be sacked.

🚨 Manchester United rank 14th in the Premier League for distance covered this season, with 449.1km.
Their numbers are even worse when it comes to high-intensity running:
🔻 18th for sprints — 379
🔻 19th for high-speed runs — 1,364
🔻 18th for sprints per kilometre covered — 0.84
🔻 19th for high-speed runs per kilometre — 3.04

This England squad is way better than the one Tuchel picked in the summer. Just more balanced, coherent, makes some of the WC selections even more baffling. theguardian.com/football/liv…

Hindsight is great isn't it.
Now seeing so many 'United should never have appointed Carrick' takes.
Where were they in the summer? Nowhere. Because it was the logical decision.
He should have been backed more with a LB and potentially other defenders. #mufc
