2 arsenal mistakes then from 20 minutes on they played like a lower league side in a cup tie holding on for grim life until more shocking defending to wrap it up.
 
Be good to get a couple of early goals next week. Drag them out of their own half and then give the twats a lesson.

Rags defence is amazing but De Gea is also amazing for making loads of brilliant saves...something doesnt quite add up here

How is their defence amazing?

De Gea made 14 saves today. That’s two less than our defence has allowed Ederson to make all season.

Hang on. Just seen you’re making that point as well.
 
Wasn't expecting them to pick up 6 points from their two aways this week - even if today's one was lucky (based on stats only- didn't watch it).
Hope we haven't underestimated them.
 
What's the FA did disciplinary contact email address? That Matic elbow really has to be pulled up. Shocking.
 
If the arse had 14-15 shots on target and at least 3 chances that should have been a goal, can’t wait to see what aguero sane and Sterling will do that manure defense!!!

They've scored 7 last couple of games while we have just nicked it v Southampton and Huddersfield.

Don't get me wrong, I have faith but I think we aren't playing as well as we have been and they are improving and will take confidence from that victory.

The derby will be a close chess match not a battering.

You can't be serious with this post.

Their last 3 games they fluked a deflected goal against brighton at home in a game they struggled to create any decent chance in, they conceded two goals in a game they were comfortably leading by 3 goals and needed a counter goal in the last 10 or so minutes to save for a nervy final minutes and lastly in a match they won 3-1 their keeper was MOTM. How you can even come to the conclusion that their performances have been any more impressive is baffling compared with a team that comfortably won 2-0 away at leicester, deservedly won 2-1 away at huddersfield in a game that was dominated against a team that played with a 5-5-0 formation and needed a defected goal from set-piece to score and lastly again deservedly winning 2-1 in a game against a southampton team that adopted the same set-up and the team missed countless decent chances.Yes they've got the results in two difficult away games(though watford already lost 6-0 to a certain team there) but in no way have the performances been impressive let alone more so than a team on a 12 win streak.

The thing with Pogba is he fuckin knows his international team mate Mendy has just had a season long injury, yet he goes and says that.

Well yeah, we've only got 2 of our first choice defenders out with long-term injuries, but apparently they need us to get some injuries to catch us. The whole starting eleven, perhaps Paul?

I hope you are correct.

City win 35%

United win 35 %

Draw 30%

On most stat sites. I think that's about right. Blues thinking that we will batter them will make a few quid.
 
Not arsed on little bit about battering them, i will be more than happy with a scrappy 1:0 win.

That said I would be even happier with 0:7 win :)

We have to admit that you can't play that badly and win.

They were battered in terms of possession and chances but that's what Jose does.

Clinical on the break and finishing.

Great keeper performance.

Defended very well with ten.

If that had been us coming away with 3-1 I'd have been happy we ground it out.

Lucky yes. Crap no.

Derby will be difficult.

So you agree it wasn’t a great performance then.

Improving by conceding 30 odd shots for the jest time ever and their keeper making the most saves in a game in the history of the PL?

I’d hate to see them regress.
