3rd goal of MU was from offside. There was a PK in case of Aguero, Pogba should have been given red card, another moment was a hand ball by the MU defender at the MUs penalty spot. Where was Atkinson?
@abaghiyan , will you raise your voice against the decisions that went against united in other matches too ? You guys are crazy, even city themselves didn't claim the goal was offside. Stop being crying babies
@BeautifulLoser Pogba isn't a good central midfielder. But he has good raw talent for dribbling, shooting and passing. But he completely misunderstands the central midfielder role. I think he should probably be a centre forward considering his raw ability and could even be used as a target in that case. His big weakness is his defensive IQ, defending and reading of the game. That would all be irrelevant if he played at centre forward. The real question is would he be a better centre forward than Lukaku overall? I think so to be honest.
@Champion btw ironically Pogba could be used better in false 9 than Sterling (in my opinion). Pogba just isn't a CM and certainly not a 4231 DM (where Pogba has stuck him at times)
@Champion I mean, Pogba help losing crucial matches. Do you remember Bayern vs. Juventus 4:2 (aet)? IMHO there are bad positioning, ballwatching, bad reading of the game in at least two goals against Juventus (2:2 and 3:2 if I remember well).
@Champion Obviously, I completely agree with your assessment. Because I noticed this as well, years ago when he played with Juventus. I guess he could also play as a second striker or a false 9, depending on the system. It is astonishing that very few people seem to spot the low standard of Pogba's defensive skills. Your list of pros and cons is pretty much complete: no understanding of the CM role, no defensive IQ, disastrous positioning as a midfielder when he has to defend, especially when he is far from the ball, lazy ballwatching, not able to really read the game as a CM. At Juventus they used him as a number 8 (with Vidal and Pirlo, to be honest) and it was okay. Then they tried to use him as a deeplying playmaker until they realized that it didn't work. So he moved to other midfield positions but his defensive performances were always subpar. Defensively, he is basically the opposite of Khedira who has a sublime sense of positioning.
@footballover You're wrong. I am neither a City fan nor a United fan. I am a huge fan of both Guardiola and Mourinho, and I like many players of both teams. That was just very bad refereeing. Period.
United were shocking in the first half.United have just rolled over.I wonder if united players will clap the city players when they lift the trophy ? :)
Manchester City 0-1 Manchester United. City are fatigued and have low morale after their midweek loss to Liverpool. Pep is 16 points clear and there is room for the coach and players to relax due to the big 16 points. Pep main game is Liverpool next week as he has an uphill to score 4 goals. Jose Mourinho has had a full week to relax and train. And he knows how to loose a Derby won't be taken lightly. He can't afford to loose 2 games in a league to the same team, that has never happened to him. He knows City at the moment City players are weak, tired and lacking confidence and he can't afford to settle with just a draw after that Old Trafford humiliation. Expect some Jose madness today. And by the way. Everytime Uniteds player has received a red card at Etihad, United gets to win the next trip at Etihad. Some pretty mad stat but when it happens 5 times, you know it's reliable. Pep 0-1 Jose
man c on Tue thy don't need a win they need 4goals against liverpool with ths in mind pep will not field stronger team against man u manu will definately win the game
man c on Tue thy don't need a win they need 4goals against liverpool with ths in mind pep will not field stronger team against man u manu will definately win the game
city are likely to score in quick breaks(counter) or brilliant team play(tiki taka) , but manu are that team who only concedes by error or longshot . manu will play defensive and may get a lucky chance and score but city will dominate them with possession . my prediction mc 0-1 mu
City now is the most effective team in conceding goals, in the world
3rd goal of MU was from offside. There was a PK in case of Aguero, Pogba should have been given red card, another moment was a hand ball by the MU defender at the MUs penalty spot. Where was Atkinson?
@abaghiyan , will you raise your voice against the decisions that went against united in other matches too ? You guys are crazy, even city themselves didn't claim the goal was offside. Stop being crying babies
Expected goals was 3.42 to 0.98 (!).
♥MUFC♥
My advice to MOU, it pays to attack
100% deserved United win
@childishjp Don't know what you mean. Could have been 5-0 City at half time. ManU scored 3 goals out of 4 shots. Definitely a lucky win...
@childishjp the stats beg to differ.
@berhin - no they don''t
@berhin the stat that matters is goals scored, this is real life not a video game
@Champion I only applies if it's your team. If the opponent scores out of the blue, you will call it extremely unlucky !
@berhin Statistically speaking they scored more goals.
@capra And that makes it 100% deserved ?
WHAT.A.MATCH
So, United win the league for the 21st time, in 2018......Obviously.
@Caseyyy1 , find something to console you . If humiliation at anfield wasn't enough , today was another slap
The face of Martin Atkinson after the game when he sees that horror tackle from Young on Aguero.
@ozi4 There was no foul there... Young got the ball and collision with Aguero was inevitable. Mourinho outclassed Pep. Get over it.
How that was not PK for Aguero ..? his leg almost chopped off
@Yman - Because it wasn't a foul
@Yman he got ball first
@GladiatorDevil Lol
Pogba's best match of the season. But he still remains an overrated clown.
@BeautifulLoser Pogba isn't a good central midfielder. But he has good raw talent for dribbling, shooting and passing. But he completely misunderstands the central midfielder role. I think he should probably be a centre forward considering his raw ability and could even be used as a target in that case. His big weakness is his defensive IQ, defending and reading of the game. That would all be irrelevant if he played at centre forward. The real question is would he be a better centre forward than Lukaku overall? I think so to be honest.
@Champion No... Pogba would make an awful striker... he should play in an attacking midfield position, he would crush it there.
@Champion - Pogba and Lukaku up front together with Matic and Herrera behind them....Sounds awesome.
@Champion btw ironically Pogba could be used better in false 9 than Sterling (in my opinion). Pogba just isn't a CM and certainly not a 4231 DM (where Pogba has stuck him at times)

Glory glory Man Utd ! Glory glory Man Utd !
So does this make Man City bottlers?
Atkinson is a criminal. Should've been a straight red for both Young and Pogba!
@BeautifulLoser Well, I wonder how can one say it wasn`t a foul:) People become totally blind supporting their teams. .
@BeautifulLoser Believe what you will... neither were straight reds. The Young tackle wasn't even a foul. Just get over it.
@BeautifulLoser lol all the city fans have upvoted your comment
@BeautifulLoser - Uuuuuuniiiiiited! - Lol
@BeautifulLoser , find more excuses now
@footballover You're wrong. I am neither a City fan nor a United fan. I am a huge fan of both Guardiola and Mourinho, and I like many players of both teams. That was just very bad refereeing. Period.
@BeautifulLoser Phahaha No way
2-3 now.
Haha to all the United fans who left at half time. Muppets.
And just like that, City lose the momentum they had: 2-2. Amazing game.
United were shocking in the first half.United have just rolled over.I wonder if united players will clap the city players when they lift the trophy ? :)
@nexus747 hahahahaha say what ???
@nexus747 you were saying ?
@nexus747 , never say die about united
@nexus747 yeah...about that
@BarcaPlsLetMeDown united did pray and waited till the other sides caught the pray and they attacked and made it sting
How come there are so many votes for United ? It's ManCity they are playing against and they do it on their ground. Why wouldn't City win ??
@neumi17 HA, HA!
@neumi17 you think ?
@joker1707 Yes I do. Should have been 4-0 at half time with Zero shots of ManU.
@neumi17 Home games don't matter to City since the atmosphere is wack.
really mourinho? not even once shot?
@pasopati shut up
Manchester United look harmless so far.
Looks like citeh playing full team? Have they given up on the Liverpool game? I am going for 1 1 draw today.
@harteless A draw vs ManU ? Of course they are gonna shoot them out of the stadium. They have the much better team...
@neumi17 , so who had the last laugh ?
@footballover I do because the result is a joke...
@harteless Yes Sterling as main Striker and no De Bruyne is definitely full team...
MAN CITY Ederson, Danilo, Kompany (C), Otamendi, Delph, Fernandinho, Gundogan, Bernardo, Silva, Sane, Sterling SUBS Bravo, Walker, Agüero, Laporte, De Bruyne, Jesus, Yaya Touré
I would wait for team news as there is no doubt Man City will rest players.

@njamimaranga This prediction is like voodoo!!!... Lol, Unbelievable come back
@njamimaranga not quite close mate
@njamimaranga Except City has the advantage to actually understand how to attack the other team's goal. :/
Time to kick the dogs Pep.. 2:1 / 2:0
1-2
BTTS
0-0
man c on Tue thy don't need a win they need 4goals against liverpool with ths in mind pep will not field stronger team against man u manu will definately win the game
man c on Tue thy don't need a win they need 4goals against liverpool with ths in mind pep will not field stronger team against man u manu will definately win the game
2-1 or 3-1
Guardiola > Mourinho. A draw wouldn't surprise me but I think MC still takes it.
@HandofGod Nope
1:1
City will want to win title at home against MU. Utd don't want that! I predict a frustrating 0-0.
city are likely to score in quick breaks(counter) or brilliant team play(tiki taka) , but manu are that team who only concedes by error or longshot . manu will play defensive and may get a lucky chance and score but city will dominate them with possession . my prediction mc 0-1 mu
1-3 UNITED!
btts
X2 Banker
City Win
ManU hould do a guard of honor for manCity on that day
@Serial_Scorer That would only happen if City played United at Old Trafford, moron.
