You were 2-0 up and we had lost our Captain. It was one of those games when for City everything that could go wrong did.
Yet Man Utd lost control of a game they should have had by the scruff of the neck
Proof City still have the better team despite the addition of RVP
Ok United fan here ive literally just signed up because of the sheer arrogance and naivety of this post, im sorry but thats just so one eyed its untrue.
You complain you lost your captain and use it as some game changing moment yet totally ignore the fact we havnt had our captain and equivalent back 4 leader for over a year due to injury (and were already beating you at the time), think yourself lucky you havnt had to do without Kompany for the length of time we have without Vidic, so straight away that arguments is out the window, not to mention the the host of other players we had missing on sunday ie Kagawa, Nani, Anderson etc
Secondly we didnt lose control of the game at all, we had it won until a linesman for whatever reason decided to rule out a perfectly legitimate goal that would have made it 3-0 and game over, then to compound his error you go up the pitch and score in the very next phase of play and bang instead of it being 3-0 and us on course for a rout its 1-2 all because the linesman fucked up, you were extremly lucky to still be in the match only an officials howler stopped a possible hammering, 3-0 down at home having not made De gea make a single save worthy of the name you would have been dead and buried, it was another example of how a wrong decision can totally change a game, we went from cruise control to hanging on through the sheer incompetence of a lineseman, up until that moment what chances did you have?? from memory De gea had 1 save to make in that first hour the aguero one and that was hardly taxing for him, other than that you created very little, ive read many City fans say you dominated the game, what game was this?? your first meaningful attack came after an hour.
To be perfectly honest the first hour of that match was the perfect away performance, we limited you to literally zero chances whilst having the ball in your net 3 times and striking the post, we were the better team that first hour without question and the momentum only changed due to a dodgy linesman call, the next 25 minutes you were the better team and deservedly in that period got back level (even then we had a stick on penalty waved away!) but you had the momentum and we were hanging on in that period thats perfectly true, that dosnt change the fact you only had that momentum because you got lucky through us being robbed of a 3rd goal which would have ended the 'contest' there and then.
In the end it will go down as a close game that we nicked in injury time, in reality it was a match we had under total control and in the bag inside an hours play in your own backyard, unfortunately a perfectly good goal ruled out and a goal for you literally seconds later changed the game, you cant hide that fact you got back into a game you should have been well out of through a poor linemasn call, had that been allowed wed have probably gone on to win by 4 or 5 and losing Kompany is no excuse when we didnt even have Vidic in the first place.
I know how this forum works so I doubt this post will get approved as it dosnt toe the party line but i feel better for getting it off my chest.
