That was one of the most stunning comebacks I have ever seen from us and when you consider our history with comebacks, that's really saying something. Sensational!
Yes, reminded me of when we came back from 3-0 down at half time, to beat Spurs 5-3 in 2001 ....amazing.

We never start games like that though. Mouriniho needs to trust the players more and set them free. We wait till we’re a goal down to start attacking. I’m not asking for us to be completely one dimensional like Liverpool but there’s no excuse for what happened against Sevilla. We need to start playing like that from the off more often.
Amen brother

Give your head a wobble!
Just turned City over in their own back yard and you're talking about martial!
Get a grip.:keano:
I’m ecstatic and lost my voice shouting at smallings winner. Just seeing everyone at FT buzzing and unite just makes me wish Martial was part of it. I’ve posted non stop about my happiness about the result, I’m also allowed to reflect on other topics!

The second half performance was immense. Determination, ambition, desire and some beautiful football. But the first half? What I don't understand is how we cannot replicate that second half performance on a regular basis. What is missing?
It was all planned to make the win sweeter.

The moon gave me flowers for funerals to come.
Cant believe we won that game,City should have been out of site first half.
Jose earned his salary at half time and obviously lit a fire under some players and it was a completely different second half.
Delighted we got a win over them and a bit of luck for a change.

How the hell was Danilo not sent off,constantly fouling in the match.

won against all the other top 6 sides.

Manchester City get gunned up and clapped quick, Liverpool FC get gunned up and clapped quick, all yall north london clubs get gunned up and clapped quick, Chelsea FC went from title holders to now sitting down in fifth, so little shorties get gunned up and clapped quick.

gotta build from this, new fullbacks and start pressing and playing attacking football.

Reminded me a little of 1999 against Juve, 2 down away with Roy Keane leading the charge back to 3-2. Hope Pogba can be one of those players for us in the future like he was today, I believe he can be.

While it might be only a consolation, it's still huge in terms of pride for the club going forward.

It's hard not to feel that good after this win. Coming back from 2 goals, away to a team that'll win the league with half a dozen games to go. That's the kind of mettle to build on.

Season highlight for me so far

City fan on talk sport telling everyone how city fans don’t care. Yes, Alex, that’s why you’re screaming it over the radio.

Sky showed images of Fergie looking depressed in the stands when we were 2-0 down in the first half. We’re there any shots of him at 2-2 or 3-2? If Sky showed them I didn’t see them.

What Shitty must be thinking knowing they've got the Dippers & Spuds next. That second half performance and the player's reactions afterwards will live long in my memory for sure! Today could have been all about City winning the title but today is about United, Pogba, Mourinho!

Fecking love it! Still buzzing! Feck it, I'm off to get me some Magners!

Just realising it was Herrera that chested it down for Pogba. Our having two CMs in the opponents box really is a rare sight.

Just saw the highlights of the game, couldn't watch live. How in the world did Pogba not get a red for the foul against Otamendi though, that was a crazy stupid tackle :lol:

Yep, if they get knocked out in the CL and lose to Spurs, winning the title against a weak Swansea is perhaps quite underwhelming for them.

I think we will challenge next season, Jose can best Pep if he weeds out some of the weaknesses in our squad that aren't solely related to personnel problems.

What a derby. Absolute tactical masterclass to somehow drag those players heads up and get that out of them after looking down and out. Brilliant. Just had talksport on in the car and city fans ringing up in their droves screaming down the phone that it meant nothing to them and it was our cup final, some of them genuinely sounding close to tears whilst apparently not caring. At 2-0, these fans were convinced it was won and the party started. They may win the league but this victory and the way we turned it around is exactly what we need. Forget city. The stupid rumours about pogba that pep started to try and rattle him backfired. We didnt let them rub their trophy in our faces, we spoiled the party and chris smalling scored a volley. Amazing. It really hurt them this and I am proud

Amazing comeback that stops them beating us to win the title and helps our own cause big time for finishing second too. The contrast between the halves couldn't have been greater because we were awful in the first and seemed like we were just rolling over for them but fair play to the lads for that response.

How's our record stack up against the big six now? Surely weve done quite well compared to the othero now?

Glad we fecked them over. And fecked Sky over too, turning up pitch side with their commentators all ready for the title party, acting like it was a done deal they would win the derby today.

The boys turned up in the second half. There's been a lot of games this season where the boys have not been on it in the first half, which is a worry, but over the fecking blue moon they turned it around.

About time the players showed some fight in the them. We should be playing with this kind of intensity next season if we want to actually challenge for the title instead of settling for runner's up.
