v Rags at OT

[KunDB]

 Ederson, Walker, Dias, Stones, Cancelo, Rodrigo, Gundogan (C), Bernardo, De Bruyne, Jesus, Foden

SUBS | Steffen, Carson, Ake, Sterling, Grealish, Zinchenko, Fernandinho, Mahrez, Palmer

No Grealish, Mahrez, Sterling

A cautious but great line up.

C’mon City. Let’s stuff them (bunch of highly paid mercenaries) 💰

[gavin]

Can't argue with that selection really. Only a bit of a surprise to see two keepers on the bench. I hope we start the match like we did the first few derbies at the Sty under Pep. We put them in their place in the first few minutes by being all over them. Come on City.

[Stephen Paul]

Best possible team going on current form

[KunDB]

After their humiliation against the Dippers, i feel that they will be supercharged motivated today from the off. We will need a strong start, and to get into possession, passing, play rhythm right from the off whistle. No room for misfiring.

Utd will sit back, defend deep and hit on the break, relying on a bit of Ronaldo magic to win it for them.

[silvablue]

We need to win after last week, do not want to fall further behind Chelsea and Liverpool.

[Rowley Birkin QC]

And a derby at an Australian friendly time for a change.

[Rowley Birkin QC]

I like the team. Understand why Grealish and Mahrez are bench warming, but slightly surprised about Sterling.

[Stephen Paul]

Walker looking on top form

[The Blue Blooded Maniac]

Great work by Dias and Stones. Ronaldo was onside waiting for the pass, they both looked over, saw him, and moved forward to play him off. No mention of it by sky sports of course.

[Stephen Paul]

This game should be dead and buried

[Stephen Paul]

Pep will be fuming

[The Blue Blooded Maniac]

Nice one Bernie!

[Rowley Birkin QC]

How did he squeeze that in!?

[gavin]

2-0 a better reflection on the half after another where you can only complain that we haven't finished off our dominance with goals. More of the same second half with finishing please.

[Stephen Paul]

Men against boy's

[KunDB]

If we had gone in 1 0 it would have been a gross injustice. Bernardo you are pure gold.

[Stephen Paul]

Maguire and Shaw are two fucking waste of spaces

[lee]

I want us to humiliate them in the 2nd half with 3 goals and watch it empty with 20 mins to go

[Rowley Birkin QC]

I'm usually the first to complain about our finishing, but in fairness De Gea has played a blinder so far.

[Stephen Paul]

I want us to humiliate them in the 2nd half with 3 goals and watch it empty with 20 mins to go

Too right mate , fuck them

[Stephen Paul]

Souness saying its the best team he has watched

[Rowley Birkin QC]

When Cancelo put that cross in my first thought was "There's nobody there!", but then up pops B Silva, like he appeared out of a trap door!

[The Blue Blooded Maniac]

My only concern is that they've had one chance and very nearly score from it. But that's being very picky.

[KunDB]

I want us to humiliate them in the 2nd half with 3 goals and watch it empty with 20 mins to go

We ALL do too

[KunDB]

A bit scrappy first 15 minutes second half.

[Stephen Paul]

Men against boys

[gavin]

Gave the ball away too much for ten minutes at the start of the second half but then imperious. United couldn't lay a glove on us.

[The Blue Blooded Maniac]

City were good, but the rags made us look amazing. That's got to be the easiest three points at the sty ever!?

[KunDB]

Utd very poor. Ole must be on the way out after that. Now I can enjoy my weekend. Thank you 🙏 City.

[Rowley Birkin QC]

Rags were just chasing shadows for a lot of the time. A comfortable derby win for us, without playing our best football - but we were still far too good for utd.

I note that the Prancing Pony is still a dirty little fucker. KDB is lucky to still have both legs.

[KunDB]

Indeed Ronnie is a bad wee shit.

How was that not a penalty?

[Rowley Birkin QC]

VAR fast asleep again.

[Hesperus]

Totally dominated them. Supreme passing today. It was men against boys. Pity we couldn’t have scored a couple more to make the score line reflect the performance.

[CTID]

1  No Penalty even though that was a clear cut foul?
2  Booked Cancelo and Silva having let Utd fouls go all game? Waited until the 89th and a half minute to book a Utd player and only because
    he couldn't ignore that nasty Ronaldo challegne on KdB.
3  DeGea thought he had saved the Silva shot and was about to bollock Utd defenders when the look on their face and City players reaction
    told him it was behind him in the net. It's behind you David, it's in the net David.

[KunDB]

This day is getting better Chelsea held at home by Burnley. Only 3 point gap now.

[Stephen Paul]

Go on Burnley
