Why does Pep think he has a right to always get in the 4th official’s ear the whole fecking half? Absolute dick!

He looked angry but we don’t know what he was saying, though. It could be something nice and complimentary.

Josep Dowling · Dec 7, 2019

Impressive first 25 minutes then City began to control the games, as would be expected.

Hopefully we can keep going!

Really feels like Rashford and Martial (or a 3rd MF making late runs) need to be more aware of James' crosses. He puts in atleast 2-3 quality crosses a game that better forwards would be scoring from.

Agreed, he put another in today and Martial was 5 yards behind.

ManRed · Dec 7, 2019

Micah just sounds stupid making a case here

fen4e · Dec 7, 2019

Wan Bissaka has really kept Sterling at bay so far.

Rado_N · Dec 7, 2019

Richards is a fecking moron

I don’t understand why do we sit back and invite pressure all of a sudden after we battered them on the break with a high press?!

Delighted with the result.

Because there's a second team on the pitch and they can ball as well. It's not really a question of inviting pressure, as it is about inviting the opportunities we had that resulted in those scoring chances: counters. We're not going to go a game without City having chances and shots, they're too good a team for that.

matherto · Dec 7, 2019

Can see City scoring so we need to get at them like we started.

Micah. You’ve had a nightmare there son.

Showing passion of course. Seeing as he’s from Leeds

Ref is awful. Anybody noticed how Fernandinho didn't get clear yellow card when Rash hit a post?

I was wondering about that. His foul on James was a clear yellow and announcers didn't say anything.

Or should have fallen without using his arms for landing softly

This will be when VAR becomes a real problem if those are given. Players are expected to injure themselves to avoid handling the ball.

Also, Micah Richards needs more zips on that suit.

DickDastardly · Dec 7, 2019

Just don't concede in the first 10 minutes and we'll be fine....

No complaints obviously, but why is that not a penalty there against Fred?

Other than that, what a bloody half from us! Our decision making has been amazing, picking the right passes and making the right runs.

Where exactly can he put his arm? He had it down by his side. Wasn’t a penalty just people getting giddy about handballs now, but forgetting arms are attached to players and they can’t always go behind your body out of the way. Was no intent to handle the ball what so ever. VAR correctly judge it not deliberate.

Lovely performance that half, City getting very wound up and having real issues with our front 3. Something like our best team (minus Poga) on the pitch and we’re going very well. Let’s hope they can maintain focus. City very very much under pressure to win so we’ll get chances as they need to take a lot of risks and their defence looks very suspect to our counters.

If that shot on the bar goes in, it's a world class goal. It was something special.

A la Ronaldinho in fact when he scored against Chelsea. Yes, it should have been in, it would have been amazing at 3:0.

Fred was immense, what a player he starts to be for us

Seems he just needed regular game time to get up to PL level. He is looking better with each game.

Nicoseth · Dec 7, 2019

It's not over yet but what a half! Have to give loads of credit to Ole - so far he couldn't have got it any more right. Can't sit off them in the second half too much. Come on the Reds!

Stadjer · Dec 7, 2019

Gasolin said:
He goes down with the hands below. Anyway, 2:0 HT. Time to relax, and focus again for 50mn.

But the moment that the ball was released he put his hand infront of the ball. He

Ekeke said:
Yep, thats one where its like 50/50, it clearly hit his hand and his hand clearly obstructed the ball but at the same time its quite a natural position to put your hand when going to ground like that

Exactly. You can argue for both sides. Another var might have given it. Ofcourse im happy it wasnt a penalty but some here claim that it totally cant be a penalty but that isnt true.

City on the ball are the best team in Europe, you cant keep up the same pressing and they won't play as poorly the whole time.

Handsome Devil · Dec 7, 2019

Fred should have done the right thing and dislocated his shoulder just to please Pep.

BeforeKeanetherewasRobson · Dec 7, 2019

Only danger I see if their right wing (Sterling been unusually quiet/well covered).

The ball inside Shaw is too easy. Need MFer/left side CH to help out.

Andycoleno9 · Dec 7, 2019

Shaw is doing well in defence. Never in doubt :lol:

Liverpool are winning the league regardless of tonight’s result though

DoomSlayer · Dec 7, 2019

Keano giving that other guy (whoever the feck that is) the death stare when talking about the Fred situation. I bet he would have loved to flatten him right there and then.

FrankDrebin · Dec 7, 2019

Micah "y'know what I mean" Richards looking like a slapped arse.

It was a proper Manchester United performance. Fast and brave.
Richards saying it should have been a penalty against Fred.
Utter crap.
Come on United.

I mentioned it in here at the time. Its irrelevant that rashy could have scored from the advantage, he should have went back and booked him.

It was also shocking how he missed the pen var gave.

About 6 city players should be in the book for getting in the refs face. He needs to sack up and starting booking the cnuts.

I would book em all by just seeing that bright blue shirt

This, or even worse, suffered a head injury. How dare he put his hand down to stop a hard fall.

always_hoping · Dec 7, 2019

A stunning half of football from United. Goal was coming as Martial, James and Lingard had good chances to score. Not sure how the ref didn't see the foul on Rashford for the Penalty. Rashford missed a sitter after it and hit the crossbar its no joke to say United could be leading 4-0 at the break.

DeGea hadn't a save to make when did that last happen in a Derby? City to be fair to them had good calls for penalties but VAR didn't think so. Mr Oliver is on the VAR tonight and he's Liverpool biased.

United have killed City on the counter attack but a word of warning united do fad in 2nd halves i hope those missed chances don't come back to haunt.
