Manchester United 4:2 Manchester City

Post-match discussion


Sun, 12 April 2015

Should have/would have been more goals for us I assume. Great performance team, Fellaini, Young, Smalling, Mata absolutely tore them a new one.
 
LVG really needs to stop the fecking shit of bringing Rooney down to central midfield and bringing Di Maria and Falcao on. We lose all control and it becomes all gung ho which is the last thing you want when you want to secure a win.
 
First 20 minutes Man City were fantastic and deserved that lead. After the equaliser they were derailed and only 1 team deserved the victory.

Blind was immaculate after that early Navas scare. Young, Fellaini, Mata and Herrera were all superb. Smalling and Valencia very good too.

Only negatives were Carrick's injury and Rooney playing really poorly yet again.

Overall: delighted 8.5/10.

Glass half empty kind of guy?
 
Worth staying up for that's for sure!

LVG is the real deal. No question.
 
We're playing football worthy of the title at the moment. I haven't been this optimistic for the future since the end of the 2006-07 season.
 
Exhilarating match. We are so different from last year under David Moyes.

Would agree with that. Great day overall. Carricks injury pisses me off slightly but still

This time last year we went into every big match with trepidation, thank you LvG

That only happened because Carrick got injured... Perfectly normal to give out of favour players a chance at the end of games like this.
 
Colour me convinced - LVG has completely won me over after serious doubts a couple of months back.

This is clearly no fluke, as we've beaten three teams who were supposed to be serious roadblocks to our top 4 aspirations, convincingly, and what's more, the team is still growing and has a lot of room for improvement.

I am sold.
 
Other than first 10 minutes I thought we were excellent, gave them a footballing lesson.

What I like about this team is that their confidence is sky high and they believe in LVG and in themselves. No head dropping like last year.

Top 4 secured if you asked me. Oh how the situation quickly changed for better. Beautiful.

Our record vs top 4 is great too.
 
The only negative out of that is Carrick's supposed injury. Hope its nothing serious.

It finally feels like the United we love again. Not just the winning part. The fight we showed, the fearlessness, the quality. We could've given Moyes 10 years and he wouldn't have gotten that kind of performance out of us. Props to Van Gaal.
 
The first time in a long while where I can comfortably say we won this because of the midfield. We may have found our best team finally.

What a day

You beat me to it. I don't mind one sub, but 3 at same time is dangerous. With Carrick, I think City would never have scored the 2nd goal.

Makes pretty nervy endings to a good game.
 
Still doubting Van Gaal? We have a world class manager, we won't get run over by any top team, simple. We absolutely blew them away.
 
The last month or so you can actually see what we're trying to do, something which has been absent since Fergie left. Even when we conceded today we still seemed to be working towards something, albeit badly at the time.
 
I was shitting myself in the first 10 mins, but then we absolutely dominated them. Fantastic to watch, Van Gaal... hats off to you Sir!
 
First ten minutes we were getting battered. Luckily we managed to regain some composure, and the rest of the game was a breeze.

Who would've thought we'd have 12/12 points from Liverpool, Spurs, City and Villa?

Great performance from us once again. Hope it continues.
 
Not enjoyed a game as much for years. Great thing about United is the buzz is back. United excite me again.
 
Citeh had it coming! So giddy! Happy and everything else! Keeping my fingers crossed re: Carrick....
