Why is that rag bastard allowed to referee a derby? It takes the merest tap for them to get a penalty and a City player has to be hit with an axe to get one.

And on the big stage we got out worked and outplayed which is a very bad sign. Not even a good Utd team. 

We created next to nothing. Truly shocked by this performance today.

We created a bit. Enough to score a few goals on another day. Nonetheless, I'm baffled how we can end such a match without our record goalscorer coming on.

Hopefully, we'll win a few trophies to make this match very forgettable but it was a bloody frustrating one.

We want to start treating these games like they are a f*cking derby! Form goes out the window for derbies. Really bad result that against them and it’s not the first time either!

Worrying issues today.

Why did we start so slow, create so little, KDB off key, and poor work rate and team work. Lack of composure and lack of leadership on the field today. Very little hunting the ball down and this is the third game in a row we have conceded at the back, and could have conceded even more in each of those games. Sterling is just nowhere near sharp enough in front of goal.

Pep will be very concerned by today, just disregard what he says to the TV cameras (that's just media spin). I imagine he will have laid into the players full blast in the dressing room.

Such failures will find us out yet again in the CL.

This  ::)  and we seemed oblivious to the fact that this was a must win game for the rag's, if they were to keep alive any remote chance of catching us for the title. I can well imagine what Solskjær's pre-match team talk was like, and I fully expected them to come at us hard from the kick off - and so it turned out. Form does indeed go out of the window in derbies, and it doesn't help if one of the teams is half asleep - plus an odd team selection I thought.

I don't necessarily agree with Stevie that this is an "average" rag team. The table doesn't lie - they're not too shabby. But we should be good enough to put them away, and this game seemed to highlight some on-going City issues - especially in the striker department. I desperately want the lad Jesus to succeed, but the nagging impression that he's not right for us continues.
