good to see Ferdy starting. I think we will need him to close down Fernandes

I'm glad he's starting too. We need his intelligence to help control that midfield. That could be where the game is won and lost today.

Pep now needs to earn his money. That was a slow and looked like we were happy just stop them from scoring.

well that was 90 minutes of my life I will never get back

Yes disappointing but not the end of the world.

It was a horrible watch. No ambition. That's what you'd expect from United but not from City. Awful.

Well, that was crap. Watching the players at the end smacked of it being a group of lads having a friendly knockabout before going to the pub. Where was the derby spirit? I expect to see crowd baiting, hard challenges, players sledging each other and maybe a bit of handbags at dawn, but this had all the fire of a paper towel in a puddle. I know there’s no crowd to play up to, but surely with both sides up for more than just bragging rights there was enough reason to go at it?
