RagI've watched match twice (on Sky) plus MotD &'Goals on Sunday analysis. I also took a peak at what they had to say on Sunday Supplement but haven't seen MNF comments.
The reaction on Sunday Supplement was probably the most pleasing, with some real recognition of just how impressive those first 40 minutes were. I am sure plenty of people who watched the full game, especially the red hordes, were taken by surprise, both at how good City were and how bad the rags were. Make no mistake the rags underperformed but that was not simply down to themselves, it was also a reaction to how City imposed themselves on the game - Pogba looked shellshocked.
Anyone familiar with Pep and / or who had studied our first few games under him should not have been surprised by City's performance because it was just a progression of what Pep does.
City were brilliant, be it the superb football of the first half or the dogged determination to repel all boarders as the red bandits lobbed mortar after desperate mortar into the box in the final minutes. Better players, working harder, following superior tactics. The gulf was large. However, the rags do not have to play us every week so it doesn't mean we will open a huge gap up over them or any other team. It's early days but the signs are there that Pep is bringing the hoped for revolution to English football. I am determined not to get carried away but it is impossible not to be massively excited about the immediate future of our beloved club.

Little time to react on here about the derby. Everything has been said in one way or another (i.e Blue or Red way) by fans and media.
Deserved the 3 points without a doubt.
What pleased me so much more is the way we played. With a plan. Technically a joy to watch. And recognized when to be physically strong. Compared to that lot we are a class ahead. We played by our strength; they played to try and derail us. I can only see the gap growing.

Where can I find the clip of Bailly fouling Otamendi in the area?

just watched the full match again , and the only difference from the sick swan ,is the fact we were more ruthless and we took our chances , at 2-0 , we were cruising , and they were on for a proper good hiding , we gifted them a goal , which lifted them and their £400m team launched everything into the box from 50 yards. It was like watching Barcelona in their prime against a bunch of neanderthal caveman. Also counted SIX bookable offences against the granny shagger , and Flatulence with his usual elbows and spitting and kicking Kolarov's teeth out , the new Beckanbauer Baily also should have walked , very pleasing that we are so far ahead of the scum. But we will face far tougher tests than this bunch of high ball merchants
