Just home - looking forward to Match of the Day.
Like everyone else I throughly enjoyed that. I loved the way we made a patient start, not letting them get a flyer at us, just knocking the ball around and then suddenly we were on the attack and Jack, Bernardo and Joel were pulling the right side apart and there was KdB to slot it home. Lovely lovely goal.
Loved the way we responded to United's goal. It was a poor goal to give away, Sancho had been given too much space on too many occasions, Pogba managed to avoid a press and made his only decent pass - but we just came back at them and there was little they could do - the skill by Foden to bring that ball down whilst bursting into the box was superb, the calm of KdB as the ball squirmed to him, it was always going in.
a third before half time would have been deserved - Grealish and Bernardo were pulling them apart, Mahrez was quiet for much of first half - he was just binding his time! and KdB just shifting to wherever he needed to be, bossed the middle. Although he did let himself down with the break just before half time - needed a pass to Mahrez but he just tried to run through Maguire and lost out.
Loved the way we were just took control in the second half, no longer so open, no longer allowing United to press - City decided where the ball would be and there was nothing they could do.
When we had a free kick at the edge of the penalty area - I said to my daughter, this is going to Mahrez edge of the box, couldn't believe that United didn't see it coming and cut it off - but they didn't and he had a sighter for later. So loved it when it was done again from a corner - helped by Stones dragging defenders in to the box and Rhodri running a block - but beautiful finish.
and the fourth was a beautiful move - although looked offside to me! But VAR won't have got wrong.
I'll be interested to see the rugby tackle by Maguire on Foden, looked a penalty from where I was. He also had at least two off the ball assaults that he got away with.
I also wander how McTominay managed to get through without being booked for persistent fouling. And continue to be surprised that De Gea has stayed with them - he could have played for a top team and won medals instead of constantly having to bail out his defenders.
From our point of view, It was an ultimate team performance, everyone doing their job and whilst a few more goals would have been nice, the result was well delivered.
Lovely stuff
