I hope the sinking ship symbolises City's hope for the title. 

If Arsenal and City lose and Man United, Spurs and Newcastle win,  we have ourselves a championship race cooking.

Has Haaland even had a touch yet?

Nope,  the game plan is not working.   I remember when the Football Terrace were talking about how Haaland was actually going to harm City more due to them becoming one dimensional.    He is a great finisher and predator but i would take Yaya, Silva and Aguero as being the scariest mf'ers ever to play against,  just seeing them on the field you knew you were in for a pounding.

He has now. Bashed it right into the United defenders. xD

Yep, we had the same issue with Ruud. Everything was geared towards him, if he didn't score we struggled. We lost fluency and interchange of movement. But people will only look at the stats and numbers instead of the team overall.

Haaland brace incoming 🤣

Fred is doing quite well. Keeping De Bruyne quiet. He and Casemiro quite a defensive midfield partnership.

Ederson xD

Rashford has to do better here. The goal was empty. 

Not with defenders on the line...?

Could have passed it to the striker who was in a better position.

Yeah actually I've seen the replay and it's only one player on the line.

Not open goal, but definitely should score. I thought Ake was further back on the line.

Rashford did a bit of an Almiron there,  did all the hard work only to make the wrong final decision or execution wasn't good. 

I think it is safe to say that City are not comfortable here at all,  and that high line is screaming trouble.

While the stats optics suggest city are controlling it,  I feel Man United have edged the better play here,  they have had a few chances and in general have looked comfortable.

Utd have had the better of the play I'd say, and the better chances.

You can tell why Ten Hag wanted Weghorst, though. Martial seems to either break a move down or is a tad too slow. Weghorst seems to be the player he wanted to hold things up a bit better and create better opportunities to support Rashford/Fernandes.

Rashford injured?

Big shame if so. One of the form players in the league and most opportunities were down his side so far today.

I am still shocked that Martial is even at Man United still
