    Sky must be patting themselves on their back for that exceptional footballing insight from the knuckle-dragging, boneheaded simian! I’ll leave you to work out who I mean?
     
    How much did we have when we beat Barcelona in 2008 with a much better XI? Can’t have been much more.
    We protected a lead for most of that game, so not really comparable. I think nobody would complain if we went up and managed to protect the lead by playing like this.
     
    We are doing our best at the moment. We are really dependent on Pogba. We need another midfielder or two to truly challenge in these matches. Think this is the best we can do with the current personnel.

    City have been playing really well. We are lucky to go into break without being a goal down. If City continue to play this way in the 2nd half as well then I think they deserve to win.

    We don't really have anything to throw at them. Our front line is good but we are unable to move the ball to them quickly because Matic-Herrera midfield is just not good enough.

    Al in all, think City will continue to have the upper hand and I don't think we can do anything more than chase them around.
     
    What's that got to do with anything? If Sheridan Smith gets to number one will they have her in the studio? I think not. This is embarrassing from Sky, they charge a lot for their packages, people want to hear from pundits who have played the game, not this bellend full of his self opinionated rubbish.
    I was responding to the bit where he said "when was the last time he was relevant?"
     
    Should've setup the same as against Arsenal, 4-2-3-1 just doesn't work with City
     
    United need to grow some. Simple. City bossed that half, and we shouldn't be smashing the ball away, after 15 minutes if a game at home. Embarrassing.
     
    Kompany off injured, Gundogan on.

    Now if we can't get at the CB pairing of Fernandinho/ Otamendi then I don't know how we can win the game.
     
    Kompany out and Gundogan in. Pep wants to win more the midfield battle. We need better players to win the ball in the middle and to control Sterling drifting in and creating a 3 vs 2 (possibly 4 vs 2) now. Lingard as a minimum has to come down and someone else too.
     
    Strange sub from Guardiola, might help us, perhaps. Fernandinho was ruling midfield for them.
     
    Need to keep it tighter in the midfield. Change it to a 3 man midfield and bring on Fellaini.
