No offence but I think those of you looking to have a go at MOTD are just looking at something to complain about. The highlights clearly showcased City's dominance. The commentator acknowledged City's dominance. They showed the penalty appeal and the commentator made it pretty clear he thought it looked like a foul. The pundits said how crap United were and spent longer than Sky did talking about City.

At what point in the post match analysis did they cover:-

1. Ronaldos assault on KDB and potential red card?

2. A clear penalty, or at the very least clear up why it wasn’t a penalty?

The issue isn’t what the commentator said, it’s the production. Had those 2 incidents gone the other way they would 100% have been highlighted in the post match analysis

I personally think you're expecting too much there from a highlights show that has limited time and multiple games to cover. They got the important bits: City good, United bad.
 
I’ve just seen Jamie Jackson’s player ratings in the Guardian…..he has City with two star men scoring 8 out of 10, Kyle Walker, which is fair and Ederson??! Now Ederson didn’t put a foot wrong, but in a game where he’s barely seen the ball how is he getting the top mark ahead of a plethora of outfield players that helped dominate the game for City.

I can only think they have an exceptionally weird way of marking players otherwise I can’t figure out how anyone paid to write about football can see that??!

Watched MotD and did seem strange editing but afterwards they certainly praised our domination and highlighted the difference in the pressing.

on a slightly different note

Man Utd 0-2 Man City: 'Something simply has to change at OId Trafford - but will Solskjaer be there to do it?'

An Eric Bailly own goal and Bernardo Silva strike gave City victory in the Manchester derby, but their dominance wasn't reflected by the two-goal margin.

Seems Phil McNulty has grown a pair

I spoke to Liverpool fan and they said a similar thing that they showed all of United's chances so it looked like they were better than they were. I think Motd have to show the United chances and in a short highlights section it might look like they were better than they were but the stats show what chances they had. I'd be happy with Mark Chapman adding a disclaimer along the lines of - The clips we are about to show you include a number of chances by Man Utd but for the avoidance of doubt these were the only chances and the editing does not reflect the true balance of the match.

I can only second that my first reaction was it was an overhit cross and Bernado had hit it into the side netting! Thankfully though I was totally wrong and I think Bernado was the 1st in the stadium to know it was a goal.

If you look at Bernardo he looks behind him at first expecting the ball to be in the box, it's only when he glances into the net he realises it's in.
Bizarre but beautiful goal.

but they spent too much time telling everyone how poor united were, not discussing how they were lucky to have 10.men again or not concede that pen. When they do that the bias from the officials gets forgotten by the masses.

I agree BUT why wasn't the non penalty discussed and why wasn't PR37's disgraceful lunge talked about ?
Sky didn't cover either incident either, they are so far up their backside they need a torch.

Just watching the replay of the game on sky, Silva scores and you could hear a pin drop at the swamp. Sky had obviously switched off the microphones at the City end. Absolute twats, so happy that their cash cow is dieing.

Tbf bud ,that was a bizzare moment in the ground ,no one knew he had scored we saw the side net ripple and just assumed he had missed ,it was only when Silva peeled away we thought holy fuck we must have scored

I think Ederson got an 8 because he managed to complete the Times crossword at the same time.

I think its more likely if the incidents had a direct bearing on the result of the match they would have been discussed. Its a bit ridiculous to suggest otherwise. The story of the day was how bad United were and the gulf between the two sides.
 
Honestly I can't believe Ronaldo's challenge hasn't been scrutinised by the media.
I know people hate a 'conspiracy theory', but he's done that in his last two home league games. It seems as though he's trying to get sent off.
