This is a mauling, United have zero midfield and struggling at the back, how you expect to win a derby like this with Erikson and Fernandez in the midfield and an average McTominay, who's winning tackles?

Probably in with a shout of being best player in the world at the moment really as wellQuote:

Love United getting a pasting because Roy Keane gets good when things are **** for them.
City are going to win the league at a canter.
Think Casemiro is an example of the problems at Man U. They went all in for De Jong and ended up with Casemiro. He’s a good player and better than they have, but Real Madrid don’t let players go unless they’re on the way down. You also don’t go from Real to Man U for footballing reasons. They’ve signed a big name, but who is likely on the way down and is there for no reason other than money.Quote:

Eriksen hasn't been a 10 since joining Inter. Been Uniteds best player from deep this season.Quote:

Judging by the empty seats seems a few folk are taking an extended break to get a couple of pints in.
Serves them right for not buying John McGinn !
What a goal that is.
Might waken City and their fans up, they haven't shown up this half so far.
5-1
Today's Manchester derby is eerily reminiscent of Germany's humping of Brazil in 2017.
Anybody else see this finishing 7-1?
Some goal again.
A proper striker looks like the missing piece of the jigsaw for City. This could be their year in the CL.

Haaland now has as many PL hattricks as Ronaldo, Vardy and Lampard. He's played eight games.
Annnnnd 6
6 now.
City could get 10 here

Either before or after the derby he bizarrely claimed that Hibs ‘had been doing a lot of talking, saying they were going to do this, going to that’ or words to that effect. Trying to paint the club as arrogant when if anything we’ve been just the opposite, everything I read suggested we were a club in transition and LJ had to be given a chance to make changes. He was making things up to deflect.Quote:

12 goals between the two games so far today, the other being Stoke 0 Watford 4, with the Leeds v Villa game to come next 😵
You've jinxed it. Got to be a 0-0 now.Quote:

United are obviously missing Maguire[emoji16]

They can’t keep those performance levels up for a whole season. And it’s a bit premature to say ‘only one’ team is winning the league when Arsenal are above them and played superbly too yesterday.Quote:

Totally agree with that, they do look good and better than the others at the moment, except City. If I had to choose one of them to win it would definitely be Arsenal over City but I just can't see it.Quote:

City will win the league; they are a class above the rest. If Haaland stays fit, City will win games even when they don't play well. Pep is the best manager in the world and is a trophy machine. It was a massacre today; City could have scored ten. Very unenjoyable for me as a United fan, but it was a football lesson; what can you do?
gerrard takes off the player on a yellow, Marsch however leaves all three players booked in the first half on, 2nd yellow and now leeds down to 10, they ain't winning this game, having said that Sinisterra is a half wit and probably cost this game now
Do you expect him to take off his best players because they got booked? I'd be raging if Hibs done that.Quote:
Originally Posted by cabbageandribs1875

Arsenal's record against City & Liverpool is pretty poor in recent years. Don't think Spurs have won at the Emirates in their last 12 attempts now so yesterday wasn't a surprise but I still see them finishing above Arsenal come end of the season.Quote:

That corner sums Villa and this game up. Horrible.
Spurs have had 2 tests this season, Chelsea and Arsenal. Distant 2nd best in both games.Quote:

:) p.s. bring back marcelo :)
While they cannot all be classics it has to be said that the league is way overrated for sure.Quote:

Two fixtures at grounds they have historically struggled at. Another 17 teams to play against. At home I think the result goes in their favour.Quote:

Over 38 games I fancy Conte to come better than the rest after Guardiola's City. He's also only lost 1 game so far this season and beforehand took 7 points from fixtures in which they got 0 last season.
Be a great battle though for sure.
Watching Ryan Gauld playing very well for Vancouver against Austin
He's improved a lot since being on loan at us. Gutted things didn't work out because he's a talent. Deserves a Scotland call up.Quote:

Conte class act or not will no win a trophy at Spurs just like umpteen other managers before himQuote:

On his way to being the best player to ever grace the Premier League if he can stay healthy and keep up this pace. He's frightening.
He won't stay long enough. Guy like that will play for a proper big side, Real/Barcelona.Quote:
