You look so toothless going forward against any half decent side. That front 6 doesn’t scare at all. Not having a proper centre forward (for Aguero) really is letting them down and a lack of Silva replacement for these tight games 

Just not got going this season YET! ..we will at some point, window opens in a few weeks too

[Lucas]

City looked more content coming away with a clean sheet than they did scoring.

Which makes me wonder, maybe City are evolving from the team they were, to one that's a bit more pragmatic. Sacrificing style for a bit more substance.

After all, they have been criticised so heavily for being so weak defensively. We're assuming they will click but maybe this is the new City.

Yep typical Pep... If all else fails, buy everyone.

If we don't win this we need a total 1 billion re-build in the summer because united are shockingly poor!

At least it's not a billion you need to spend in defence this time

Gary Neville would rather eat his own shit than properly criticise Ole. You can accept that both the owners are shit and that the manager isn’t up to task

Great isn't it, none of their ex players, even Roy Keane, won't ever say he's not good enough.

Nope, we just need a billion of strikers this time

Like a wise man once said, if you can't beat um, buy um

Watching this game made me feel like I was the victim of a hate crime.

Love it

Sounds like this is the game where @The Palace Fan should have warned us to go back to bed for, as opposed to rush out for it

Its great to see these young developing Managers learning from the School of Roy.

Would it be ludicrous to suggest that Liverpool, Chelsea and Spurs are nailed on for top three and the Manchester clubs will be fighting it out for fourth?

If Pep after spending all that money finishes 4th this season its nothing short of gross negligence. 

You’re 4 points ahead. And we’re supposedly shite. And it’s December. So yes, it’s ludicrous. What have Chelsea done to be ‘nailed on’ for top 3?

They're his mate though, I'd be reluctant to slag my mate off live on TV even if it was my job to do so

I know which is why it's great and why having an ex player so out of his depth as manager is a bad idea.

Didn't even watch the match let alone the highlights but I see Ole gave his normal after game remark...as usual... "We are showing signs of improvement...", I am sure he said the same after the Spurs thrashing. 

[MUFC]

I remember when the first 10 minutes of derby games would have tackles coming in like mad. A bad touch or miss-control and you'd get whacked. Yesterday was more like a fucking ballerina show.

McTominay threw himself straight in tbf and the red pulled him on it.

Not much really, I just think Chelsea's strength in depth will be telling as the season wears on. I certainly think they will finish above Utd. 

I also think Liverpool and Spurs will finish above Utd. 

Is that so ludicrous? Maybe up for debate but ludicrous?

I think it's a bit far to suggest that Man City won't finish top 3

[MUFC]

I reckon City can only challenge for the title if they can keep sexy legs Aguero fit and firing.

[Dan+]

That's got to be up there with the shittest game I can remember. The hugging at the end sums it up. No edge about it whatsoever. Even if derbies were bad games you could at least expect a bit of needle but even that's too much now.

These games need crowds back ASAP.

A bit like saying Barca won't finish in the La Liga top 4, they are 9th atm.
