What do people ruin great sporting moments by dubbing shite pop "Muzak" onto them? The only accompaniment McTominay's goal needs it the raucous roar of a re-invigorated Old Trafford.

Great result!

I have not seen the game. Being as objective as one could be, how was the actual game.. Was it a good game (quality..), did we play well, or were they poor.. Or was it a typical Derby?

What I did see, was that their keeper was dreadful! Embarrassingly poor for both goals... Awful...!

For the first time in many years, I felt that City are finished. They looked ordinary and their motivation is gone. I think they have a good crack at winning the CL but I can't see City winning the league next year if you put it that way. United, on the other hand, looked strong and organized. Ole has put some fight in this team. Yes, we scored because of two howlers but it's such a big difference in confidence and playing style compared to only a month or two ago.

I wouldn't speak too soon.We deserved our win yesterday but we are still miles behind them.Clearly they are out of the title race this season but we have a way to go if we want to get to where they are.They could still win the CL & FA Cup this season.

Football is as competitive as it has ever been. Fergie always knew the importance of refreshing the squad even when we were right on top. Just one year of non-investment or poor expenditure can lead to a downward spiral. If Pep could just have had Fred and Maguire, the two players he seemed to have wanted, they would maybe look like a different team yesterday. But the spending cannot go on forever hence it’s almost impossible to dominate the league long term. I will be not very surprised to see even Liverpool struggling in a couple of years.

First 15-20 min City dominated possession and created one quarter chance.
Then we got into the game, and we started actually dominating the game. I think for a 10 min period we had 80% possession. During that period, Martial had one half chance which Otamendi blocked, another Martial chance which he should have squared to Bruno who was in acres of space around the penalty spot. At the end of the period, we scored. Rest of the half, it was even possession in which we were more direct whereas City were more sideways and backwards. There was a definite foul on Fred in the box but Fred was booked for diving around 40 min.

Second half was more what everyone would have expected of the game. City dominated possession but again created one chance which Sterling squandered and De Gea made a good save for Jesus's shot from a difficult angle. Again, in the half we used James and Martial as outlets to counter attack. James should have squared it twice for Bruno for simple finishes but he chose a shot. We were really on the cosh only between 75-85 min (again without conceding chances), but after Ighalo came on he became an outlet who could hold the ball and relieve the pressure. And at the end we got a goal from that.

p.s. I'm trying to be objective.... really trying.

I concur. Essentially, it was the greatest single-team performance of all time. Objectively.

Can any City fan tell me me why Mahrez doesn't start every game?

He always looks dangerous.

He’s getting rested for Real Madrid

 

[Skåre Willoch]

Still buzzing.

I didn't know Duncan Castles was so bitter about United. In his podcast after the derby win, every word he has spoken about United is to shit on us, invented more than 20 reasons why City lost (not one of those reasons was that United played better), has shit on our recent record including the defense, and much much more.

He'll probably praise Mourinho after tonight.

Who cares?

The important thing is that the fans know where we are and where we need to be.

Putting it into context, we are a long way off but on the evidence of the derby game we are on an upward curve. Credit due to a tactical performance that worked to near perfection. We can’t deny that City are ahead in some areas but neither can we deny that Utd are standing still. It may be early to say that the futures bright but it certainly isn’t as dim as it once was

I think you need to revisit the second deny there.

 

[Inigo Montoya]

I think you need to revisit the second deny there.

Not really. It’s my opinion

oh hi Duncan, didn't think I'd see you here.

Ole out, Maguire too slow, Lindelöf out of his depth, Shaw should be sold, Matic is finished, Fred is useless.

Next weeks post?

I didn't know New York were so United mad
