Manchester City 0:1 Manchester United

Dec9003 · Jan 29, 2020

Kevin Friend has decided this game, letting city off for so much and punishing Matic for comparably little.
Be some last 15 minutes to get anything here.

pauldyson1uk · Jan 29, 2020

why are some blaming the ref, both tackles were yellows.
Nobody but Matic to blame.

Nou_Camp99 · Jan 29, 2020

City are a pale shadow of team of last 2 years. Still better than us obviously but feck me they seem done

iammemphis · Jan 29, 2020

How is Daniel James so unreactive to passes as if he’s gassed already when he’s only been on the pitch for half an hour.

It's an absolute pisstake. Rodrigo could easily have seen 6 yellow cards in the first 50 minutes but Matic is off for 2 of the softest fouls you'll ever see. Joke.

Soft doesn't come into it when it's on the counter.

They've got the tactical fouling down to an art. As have Liverpool.

but they constantly escape yellow cards

Havent even had a shot in the second half. Heart,desire but no quality

Agreed. Sad but true

sewey89 · Jan 29, 2020

It was a booking

Silly from matic, but stopped a dangerous break

Ole had to keep him on, don’t start with that bullshit.

We had 2 or 3 opportunities to shoot/cross it seconds before but for some reason we docked about.

In fairness, we are doing alright in the 2nd half.

No courage from the front players.

Another game Daniel James has come on and done absolutely nothing. He’s as effective as Lingard but it’s ignored because he cost £15m.

Its ignored because he is younger and just come from the championship.

Bruno, Fred and Andreas

Wait, what? A red in the carabao cup is suspension in the PL?

Walters_19_MuFc · Jan 29, 2020

Refs been shit all fecking game.

Great game by Matic.

He was probably our best player this game.

Ref booked him twice for 3 fouls. A bit absurd to be honest.

His reaction to the earlier foul wouldn’t have helped his case.

SER19 · Jan 29, 2020

Why the feck would he have taken matic off? Literally essential to the way we're playing, playing well and on a yellow. You can't justify taking him off in this game because of a fecking yellow. Was booked once all season before tonight

Matic shouldn’t of done that knowing he’s on a yellow and Friend had already warned Maguire.

That looked very soft.

It is, City gottrn away with worse and constant fouling, but nothing.

SirAnderson · Jan 29, 2020

Going to definitely get done on the counter here. All City need to do is give us the ball.

barros · Jan 29, 2020

I think United players don’t know they need to score another one

Agreed. Also: global warming. And the Australian wildfires.

Why was that not the case the 7 or 8 times they stopped our counters in the first half?

Better not renew his contract, not close to being good enough for a team that wants to be in the top 4

They are renewing his contract so they can sell him in the Summer. Otherwise he goes on a free.

SirAnderson · Jan 29, 2020

What a game for Martial to go missing. Feck me.

Jazz · Jan 29, 2020

Can't see us scoring again sadly. Not even OG could come to our rescue tonight.

True but if they’re breaking away you can’t let them or the tie is over anyway.
The second yellow was fair but the first never was.

Alabaster Codify7 · Jan 29, 2020

Special Kevin Friend.
Prick.

No no dont criticize him, he had a good month when he arrived, he's a success all Ole bought players are.

What the hell is Martial doing outside the box?

Really poor, costs us possession and Matic ends up being sent off.

We also had ten players inside their half/30 yards from City goal. Stupid when City have the pace they have.

Yes, they are a strange watch, don't seem to have the hunger of previous years, and Rodri was a strange signing. They get done through on the counter because of a lack of recovery pace through the middle of the pitch, he adds Rodri to Gundogan. Odd.

Nobody but Matic to blame.

Whoever lost it at the edge of the box is to blame. Shocking pass straight to a city player

100%. It's pretty bitter to blame a referee for giving two yellow cards for two yellow card offences.

redshaw · Jan 29, 2020

Shame Rashford isn't there, game is made for him.

VidaRed · Jan 29, 2020

we have no pace going forward

If we press more forward they'll kill us at the back. I think we played it right, but unfortunately our attackers have been crap. Martial, James and of course Lingard. Greenwood wasn't that good either.
