We need to try something else when we’re on the ball. Otherwise sooner rather than later City will get back into it. We’re conceding too many turnovers within the first 5 passes.

That record is at HT, but of course hoping we keep the lead todaypleased with Onana's performance. Has looked assured. Hopefully he's turned a cornerLove how odds are still worse for City to win than for us to win
It's just the truth. We are being dominated and they look a much better team. Luckily KDB, Doku and Haaland haven't turned up.
He has been supporting the midfield and has held his position well.
At least you have hair
Nope, can't even see us getting a draw but it's been nice to go in HT 1-0 up.
Can't see us managing to keep the onslaught out for another 45. Reckon if they get 1 we will crumble and lose.
And we have example here, cheers.No, stat merchants will say they should have scored 2 or 3 which is what the fecking xg is for
How does Tim Howard get paid for his anodyne nonsense? He offers nothing in the halftime analysis.
What happened with Fulham there? Jesus, where they playing for their lives?I would say get Antony on for garna please. Uninspiring but should be better at keeping the ball and will do more defensivelyReckon a City goal in the first five mins.we have to score from our next counter attack/big chance otherwise i cant see us winning here. never thought we would be one up at htRashford > HaalandMcTominay has been nowhere near the level of prime Scholes. Get rid of him!Feel we may run out of gas here. No meaningful sub options as quick counters is best we could hope for with who’s available.
Really a shame Hoijland wasn’t available.
well done to the team. Couldn’t really ask for much moreThe first counter attack from us in the 2nd half has to be dangerous even if we don’t score from it. We need to knock some uncertainty into City’s defence like we did in the first 20. That’s the only way I can see us coming away with a result. If we carry on 2nd half not getting out of our half even on counters then at some point we will crumble.I don’t want to see Lindelof in a red shirt again. He must be odds on favourite to cause City to score.This is going to be a long 2nd half, we all know if City arnt winning they'll be about 10 minutes added on as well.Any boos at HT for the treble winners and world champs from their ever faithful home support?
Isn't this record only at home?
We were 2-1 up at Leicester at half-time (and 3-1 up at one point) when we lost 5-3 to them in 2014/15.Been very disciplined.
Lucky to be going in 1-0 up.
They'll score but think we may get a couple of chances on the counter.
Or any of the other times Pep has ever lost (including to us). Commentators have no long term memory.
That's what he does. He won't get criticised for it though. If you score one minute, you can do nothing the other 89 and still get praised by most football commentators.We’re now way winning this!
OH YES WE ARE!We've been far too mentally fragile to defend 1,2 or even a 3-0 win against not just City but pretty much any team this season so we need to score more from the counter attacking chances we have I'm afraid.
Rashford should've scored at least 1 more in the first half. I wouldn't trust this team to protect the lead even if we enter the 90th minute 2-0. The moment we concede, we'll probably bottle it.
Agree, he’s moving like he has a groin strain.
Mctominay is always one of our better players in the derby. You can tell it means a lot to him.I would have netted £200 if Haaland had put that chance in.
My brain is not sure how to process that information.
Yes indeed.
Yeah it's only at home.
was this the game where we played Fletcher and Carrick as center backs?Incredible that Villa are within touching distance of City.That blooter of a goal was very CharltonesqueNot by any xG model man
Tbf the Rashford failed break doesn’t show on xG at all. The stat is useful but not without flaws.
xG is useless masturbation. It doesn’t tell you anything your eyes don’t see and conceals from the reader of the stat sheet what your eyes do see.
I can't recall us having 3 straight passes nevermind 5
I think it'll be a Garnacho goalPep looks absolutely shattered with nerves. Or is it just the gear
Gram maybe.- Status
