Cant really say we dominated them. We attacked brilliantly on the counter the first half hour and then we fell back and was pretty deep
We got battered without conceding. Chelsea did the same to City and with a better luck could also have been 2-0 up.They were by far the better side in the first half. Once we got 2 and 3-0 in the space of 2 minutes - they gave up.
We dominated Liverpool much more earlier in the season.

Going by the expected goal table united should be top 4 until the Tottenham game, some days you get lucky but united have so far been unlucky based on that same metric.Tweet

That model doesn’t count the penalty but it feels about right. We were effective early on but were holding on for the last half hour. Another day and we’d be on the wrong end of that result.
Yes that was at home after losing the away fixture 4-0 and that Chelsea team were champions so an impressive performance indeed.There was a game under Jose against Chelsea where we controlled the game from start to finish. They had zero shots on target. That's proper dominance.
We‘re 4th in the xPTS table still.Going by the expected goal table united should be top 4 until the Tottenham game, some days you get lucky but united have so far been unlucky based on that same metric.
Did we dominate City though?We've obviously had big results before this even with previous managers but I can't recall apart from 'Juanfield' where we took on a high calibre team and made them look so poor whilst playing scintillating attacking football ourselves. It wasn't just counter-attacking football, we were having sustained periods of domination with the ball.
Can you recall any?
GO!
I agree that first 25-30 was end to end but they didn't have chances to take like ours. By then we already had something like 3-4 shots on target to none for them.Wow. We didn't dominate today. First 25 min was end to end. We took our chances they didn't. We then defended well.
They had plenty of makable chances.
We dominated Liverpool much more earlier in the season.
Hypocrite much? No domination but only in 1/3 of the game ?There was no domination except for the first 30 mins and that was when the damage was done.
Chelsea created some chance and missed a lot of shots, we were simply more effective. These are the gamestats from that game: https://www.premierleague.com/match/46613Did we, though? As i recall, we hit them with 4 counters and they missed countless chances. Could be wrong. The way we created chance after chance in the first half today felt more dominating than the Chelsea match.
Hypocrite much? No domination but only in 1/3 of the game ?
I dont think we dominated this one but at least it wasn't our usual smash and grab so thats a positive. Id say we dominated spurs more than we did city.
We dominated for the first 30 mins precisely.
From my recent memory (excluding Arsenal ties) that Chelsea home game under mourinho where Herrera played one of his best games for us.
Not sure if you’re actively seeking confrontation romufc but you do need to look up the definition of hypocrite.Lets not create a false narrative that we dominated City, we dominated the first 30-35 minutes the rest of the game we defended really well and saw the game out.
If the roles would had been inverted Im sure we would be talking about bad luck and how we deserved much more.
I might have got the wrong word but seriously? We didn't dominate but we did for 30 mins? which is 1/3 of the game?Not sure if you’re actively seeking confrontation romufc but you do need to look up the definition of hypocrite.
So it wasn't domination then? It wasn't a plan either to sit back on a 2-0 leadI might have got the wrong word but seriously? We didn't dominate but we did for 30 mins? which is 1/3 of the game?
I have not said we dominated the game either on any of my posts.
We went there and stuck to a game plan which works against top teams.
This stat presentation is really interesting. Thanks!https://understat.com/match/11652
They had possession and pot shots from range, but not real chances. Wasn't a 4-0 game, but we were by far the better team.
Yes so you have never made a mistake in your life Mr. Perfect?So it wasn't domination then? It wasn't a plan either to sit back on a 2-0 lead
FFS! Hypocrite??? Think about the words you use then before writing them down. Try an online dictionary
