One thing Fergie would have done by now is put a man sitting/following De Bruyne all game, why hasn't Mourinho done that? It seems like a no brainer

How is no one picking up de Bruyne? He keeps dropping behind our midfield and there is no one picking him up.We're getting battered. Wrong team selection and tactics.
Exactly..This is not a slight on Fellaini cuz Mourinho is playing him there but he doesn't have the positional sense for a DM.This is the poorest I've seen us in a long time. Completely dominated and outplayed. Even vangle couldnt make us look so shit.I fear that Fellaini is expanding too much energy already...Hold out for half time, shakedown, and come out fighting is the best we can hope for after this.Are we actually even playing on the counter or is it just that we can't hold the ball? Seems like everytime we do 'counter' we have maybe 1,2 players in the actual attack? Swear it ends up being Rooney/Ibra running into trouble each time because there is nobody with them.They are pressing very hard. Let's hope they are exhausted after half-time and that we are less predictable
Yeah, apart from anything else, we should be doing more with the attacking opps hereCity have been incredible.Will be a miracle if we make it to halftime with this score.
I think we've done more running than them chasing them all over the pitch.ffs we have looked like a Sunderland team today.... Mourinho needs to change things up as this is humiliating at home.Praying for half-time so we can go 4-3-3 and replace one winger.
Yep. They're just pulling Pogba and Fellaini out and finding De Bruyne in the space.
They're arguably the two worst choices for that job.
It was more of a rhetorical question. I understand why he picked him but if he wanted to use him for this match he should've played him more before this to get him up to speed. Same goes for Lingard.Our players are exhausted. City have been superb.How can we keep spending so much money and still keep looking so slow and technically lacking? We need some pace and a spark. We need Rashford and Martial. Rooney, Lingard, and Mkhitaryan have been shite.Even though nobody is playing well, you have to look at mourinho for this performance.We have no outball. The front 3 can't get the ball to stick, and it's just because of the high press. They're just not at the races today.On the plus side:
De Bruyne's gone quiet
Possession carnage has subsided
We are showing a bit more aggressionWhy the feck is fernandinho having a free run in midfield? He may as well get himself an armchair in there
not going to happen and what if we get an injury, what happened last time we player against City with 10 men FFS
Guardiola is showing his true quality here.This is the longest half of football I've experienced in a long time. We're being outclassed.Our front four can't do anything so far, all poor.
We should have switched to 4-3-3 for this game. We're not in control and I don't see how we can get back into this.
What? Been most involved of any of our midfield.
Everyone talks about De Bruyne but the guy who is killing us is Otamendi. He's not only defending like a beast but he also has great passes for KDBThought we'd be further along in our development this early in the season but we're being outclassed atm.
2-0.
Can't argue with thatfecking joke.Deserved again.Deserved. Fecking shite.They've had more touches in our box than we have passes all game. Absolutely dire.ComicalWe are giving them time and space to do whatever they want . Wont workKinell0-2- Status
