Match Thread | Manchester City vs. Manchester Utd (14/09/25)

I love that Khusanov isn't the type of defender to just watch and try to make the angle worse for the other player to shoot. The guy actually goes for the duels, he runs everywhere at an insane speed, he bulldozes the other players and he does great slide tackles. He does what a defender should be doing: he defends.

Pep has to take off Bernardo...he offers very little these days and cannot compete physically. He has been a fantastic servant to the club but his time has sadly passed.

I'd bench Reindeers, put Bernardo in the middle and get a right winger on. Bobb could rip them apart and having a threat on both flanks will keep their fullbacks back.

This atmosphere is an embarrassment in here. Doesn't even feel like a Derby anymore.

Americans all around me. Game's gone.

Yeah, it's been shite.

Soriano and City aren't arsed.

 

[Kippax Kidd]

Khusanov is vital defending but Bernardo in front isn't great for him . Bobb would suit better.

 

[Saddleworth2]

There were little spells when we looked good. Phil, Doku, Khus Erling all good. What the fuck Bernie and Reijnders? We are giving them far too many set pieces through poor passing and putting the defence under pressure. Still believe it could go either way. I would like to see Nico shoring up midfield instead of Reijnders and Bobb on for Bernie.

Sadly, the Rags can't play any worse in the 2nd
half. They will up their game.

Oh they can.

 

[Akiva]

Easy to be negative, but it's the derby, these cunts have done us over in this fixture even at the peak of our domination.

Plenty of promising signs in that half. Get a second here and I think we win.

Agreed, worse I have ever experienced in a derby since moving here.

Picked the right season to buy the worlds best goalie on a long deal. Already looks in charge of his duties whilst even Rodri gives the ball away needlessly. Rebuild season with a carabou, fa cup .

Been like that in 325 for years

Pleased to be ahead at HT but like the BHA game, we've not pushed on and have done zip all of note since the goal. Starting to concede silly free kicks around our box too, just like last match. Midfield guys not at it yet. Foden doing well as is Doku and big Erl. Guys at the back doing well.

 

[01cravend]

Tijjani.. weird start to life at city. still can't figure out if he's really good on the ball or really bad

Well he was as good as Mctominay in Serie A.

 

[deano ou812]

Need to get a second as Taylor will be doing his best to get it level..

 

[TheKippaxM14Blue]

Foden best player on the pitch by a mile that half

 

[SkyBlueFlux]

Hate these half-time interviews.

 

[1961_vintage]

If we can grab a 2nd all the charlatans will hopefully fuck-off.

 

[Metal Biker]

Uh, did I miss the second half? What's with these player half time interviews? Fuck off, you parasites!

 

[uwerosler28]

I think Rodri has given the ball away more today than he did for the whole of 21-23.

Give him a chance, he's very rusty but at least attempting to play the right ball so still has his vision to impact a game.

 

[teddykgb]

I've been positive here today just the real concern is that we've created basically nothing from open play aside from the goal which required a deflection to come off. We are really really poor at generating danger right now

 

[jrb]

Oh they can.

Let's hope so?
