Yup we make one whole extra foul per 90 minutes without the ball compared to United and Liverpool. Flat out thugs.
Solskjaer channeling his inner Fergie to influence the ref with his pre match commentsTwo best tactical fouls in the game were by Shaw and Fred and neither got booked. Tonight we've done them more but you've done them better.
He’s got this reputation for being innocent but it’s bullshit...he’s always at it...he’s a snide little prick. Sneaky dirty fecker.Even David Silva has been at it tonight.
Disgusting and cowardly, on a youngster no less. This time the beard is on a white guy and in the same team as Raheem who talks about racism innit so just an honest accident, guv'nor.Even David Silva has been at it tonight.
It's not about desire, it's simply quality. They have that in abundance and we're woefully short.No not dirty, just want to win and try harder. I’d love it if it we showed a 10th of their desire and if it resulted in a few fouls.
So... In other words, very similar to Shaw's attempts in the first half, or Fred's foul then, yeah? All should have been yellows of course, but the game had already 3 and normally in such derbies referees can be a bit reluctant.There was a point in the second half where Fred i think was trying to break away, so Bernardo had a wild swing at him, which Fred managed to evade, so Sterling just grabbed him and hauled him down.
Guess who got booked? Nobody
He's always at it, just seems to get away with it a lotEven David Silva has been at it tonight.
And quite right he was offended. Check the OFFICIAL STATS for this season. City have committed 291 fouls, the lowest in the premiership, Liverpool 303 - Man Utd 395,, with only Everton & Brighton higher. Precious, no, just factualI just love that Pep immediately got offended by Oles comment. Such precious snowflakes.
You are the most cynical side in the league. The fouls you commit are specifically to stop play so you can't be countered. It's a stain on the game that Pep has brought over from his time at Barca Will be interesting with VAR next season, as if used correctly you will rack up yellows & reds.And quite right he was offended.

1 - You have no clue why Var is being brought in and what its doing obviously.You are the most cynical side in the league.

All teams make tactical fouls. You have gone further though by making it an integral part of your game plan. This is something never before seen in the English game. It's not good for the game in the long run as many teams will take the view that if you can't beat them join them.2 - United made as many cynical fouls as us today. Both Shaw and Fred could have been booked 2 or 3 times as on the other end could Zinchenko, Kompany, David Silva. No doubt we are cynical and were again today but you'd swear its something you guys didn't do. In fact every time you got dispossessed with men forward you did it today just like us. The major difference being it wasn't too often you had men forward to press.
Of course its not good but its a tactic that's been employed by every high pressing team for ages. Hell Spurs did it before Pep, as did Liverpool as soon as Klopp arrived. Not knocking them, we just do it better than most. United now you've started pressing have started doing it too in games. The reality is we made 10 fouls in the derby of which about 5 were cynical, you made 10 fouls too of which 3 or 4 were cynical, given positions on the pitch where the ball was it makes sense we'd be fouling higher up more often.All teams make tactical fouls.

Tyler did mention during comms the FA may be having a look at that.Sky had 1 hour post-match and didn’t even mention David Silva’s studs going into Pereira’s chest. Amazing. Just pretend it never happened.
It's clearly Pereira's fault why did he put his chest onto silva's feet.Sky had 1 hour post-match and didn’t even mention David Silva’s studs going into Pereira’s chest. Amazing. Just pretend it never happened.
