  • United had more shots on De Gea than on city's goal ( found this comment hilarious so had to share it)

  • @porzingis 433's comment xD saw it too, lol it was literally 1 vs 21

  • another 0-5 at Trafford incoming!:)

  • Oliver would not be top flight referee in any other country How on Earth or any other planet that was not a penalty when Jesus was fouled by Telles? That was the penaltiest penalty possible.

  • @tar88s On the other hand he is fully able to invent red cards and penalties in Champions League.

  • @tar88s Maybe he's just really well paid.

  • Ronaldo will score a brace so that FairFootballFan aka john2james can copy and paste the comments he has been saving for this game complete with statistics and superlatives.

  • @mystic34x when?

  • @GioMonaldo we will have to wait til the next MU game.. tOp fIvE lEaGuE. tOuGhEsT lEaGuE iN eUrOpE.

  • @mystic34x he will bang east ham or north barnley and will be hailed as GOAT again

  • Bold of some people to call United a one-man team with Ronaldo while his own defenders are playing against De Gea.

  • Btw the best advanced stat that describes the quality of a team the xGdiff/90 in 2020/21 season +0,47, and now in 2021/22 - (minus)0,05 (Liverpool +1,50, Manchester City +1,45). As a mid table club. So far CR made MU weaker, which is a stone cold fact, so why all the hype from his fanboys, football blinds and illiterates? Yes CR is the king in any underperforming powerhouse (Juventus, MU), but would be a break in any top team, (like in City, Pep knew it exactly) beacuse he is not a TOP player anymore...since long years. A statspadder nothing more without results.

  • @Pastore10 yes and thats why City wanted to give him a contract, lol

  • @koziol.mutant Lucky City rejected him, otherwise they would be in mid table now. CR7= Waste of space.

  • @Pastore10 Soon 37 years old, and still Ronaldo makes you loose sleep at nights. Its hilarious.

  • Amazing support from fans all game, they don't deserve to see a game like this. Anyone who is responsible for this display should be ashamed, they are still signing Ole's name and will never want him sacked because of respect. Ole should resign himself if he doesn't believe to get better out of this team, both goals should've been avoided but still fully deserved win for City.

  • @Byakuya It was the City fans singing Ole's name you clown.....

  • @Nico1 City don't have fans and they also signed United are the team for me? You're the whole circus.

  • @Byakuya City fans we literally singing "Ole's at the wheel" and "Ole give us a wave". If United fans are so great and so loyal, why did they leave the stadium after 50 minutes against Liverpool?

  • @Nico1 Have you ever been in a stadium? Every game, there are many "fans" of big clubs who comes and watch the game like watching a movie. Those kind of fans left, real ones stayed. It doesn't change the fact that United fans never stopped for even a minute just because City fans were mumbling something, pointless argument of how it's related with support of United fans today.

  • @Byakuya I also watched the fan cams after the game, many season ticket holders said they walked out cos they didn't want to watch any more! Most pathetic fans on the planet, only reason they stayed inside the stadium today was cos it was raining outside!

  • @Nico1 Let me guess, those ticket holders looked like Indian and they came from another city like London? Keep dreaming, Nuno was booed just because subbing Moura off last week and United fans never booed Ole even after subbing Lingard on when he went without a goal in a year. Also, don't forget how Dortmund fans which is considered one of the best on the world booed your beloved Klopp many games before he finally gone.

  • what a boring game

  • We lose and don’t score: but 0-3 Bye Ole.

  • How tf did Pep transform Cancelo into this monster.

  • @GioMonaldo it's not as if he was a nobody beforehand smh, he played for Benfica Valencia and Juventus before being a 60 million pound signing for City

  • @Chilly_B never said he was a nobody, but still nowhere near as good as now. This is a clear transformation.

  • @GioMonaldo he was already good

  • @NuchalLine nowhere near as good as now

  • De Gea at his best is so good. The problem is he isn't always playing at his best.

  • @Fromhell If he has to play this well every game, it's on the team not on him

  • I am a bit disappointed, was expecting a higher win of ManCity than just by 2 goals.

  • @neumi17 would've been if not for de gea

  • De Gea - the most overrated goalkeeper...

  • @afx Say u didnt watch the first half without saying u didn't, he was hawt! literally best player 1st half, 2nd goal was defence/Shaw's fault

  • @TetouanMorocco cope harder lmao

  • @TetouanMorocco it doesn't matter if I watched it or not - I never valued him and always found him overrated. but yes - I watched.

  • Just hope Ole stays at the wheel even if City wins tonight. Need to have some comical team entertaining us all the way through May.

  • I thought a back 5 meant easy wins and clean sheets?

  • @Chilly_B Only if a good coach is applying it.

  • @splint3r Just like how Tuchel did against City at home? At least United had a shot on target before gifting two goals.

  • @Byakuya Yeah, of course, Chelsea have had one bad game, one measly loss all season and you'd point exactly that one out. Pointing out only the bad aspects of Chelsea's game, while leaving out all the good ones is the main symptom of a Chelsea hater. Why don't you say something about Abramovich as well? You're pathetic. I will not reply to you anymore, seeing as I don't like talking to Chelsea haters.

  • No error for De Gea after he palmed the ball into his own net?

  • @Nico1 No time for positioning after "Shaw's fault" leave him just a meter away with Bernardo, would be pure luck rather than reflex if he could've saved that.

  • @Byakuya It hit him in the chest before he put it in with his own hand.....

  • @Nico1 Whole process you're talking about is a second, wasn't impossible to clear but he is the last person at fault there. Even Maguire could clear that with a header, they just looked at each other with Shaw instead and left the ball hoping that it will be out.

  • @Byakuya Rainy weather made it even more difficult for de Gea. I would not blame him at all too, that was just a bad luck for him and poor stuff from defenders.

  • @Byakuya It was a howler mate, easier to save than to put it in your own net!

  • Sad performance from Utd. City weren't even playing well or trying hard, but dominated them completely anyway

  • I love how City players recover the ball, theyr so good at positioning to receive the 2nd ball, and great at pressing.

  • @TetouanMorocco man city was paid not to scor too much. Lol.

  • @nceshNcero Haha all PL clubs wants Ole at the wheel seriously, secure the game and back off.

  • Ole’s at the wheel, at the wheel, Ole’s at the wheel, la la la

  • Bailly the author of the 1st own goal in this derby's history. Credit to him haha

  • City are outplaying UTD. Ronaldo has an IMPOSSIBLE JOB at top. If UTD keep Ole after this game, they may as well retire the whole club.

  • @Belinho Ronaldo with the impossibke job? you mean, Midfield has the impossible job of creating scoring chances for him.. so he can “sIiIuUuU”… da hek man!

  • @mystic34x lol u don't know anything about football last 3 seasons he's playing with dead midfielders he still manages to score yeah against Atalanta goal second goal was created by midfielders haha ������ u are so stupid considering u r a messi fan I can understand u guys lack basic football knowledge

  • @Hamiz penaldo dickrider talking about football knowledge LOL

  • Not surprise if MUTD win 2 0 with red card from MCI.

  • Lets see the facts, in last year MU full seasonal results in PL plus UCL (group of death) 44 matches 24 wins 11 draws 9 defeats 88 goals scored 54 goals conceeded and average 1 ,89 points per match...in this year with CR (and with a stronger squad with Varane, Sancho etc and in a weak UCL group.) so far in 14 matches 7 wins 3 draws 4 defeats 27 goals scored 22 goals conceeded, average 1,71 points per game,so the same attacking power than in last year, the only diff that CR scores these goals as main man, and significantly worse defending (not a surprise with CR defending work and quasi zero pressing,) and so significantly weaker results too (this is before the City match) btw in the last 5 head to head matches MU dominated City with 3 wins 1 draw and 1 defeat. Lets see with CR...

  • @Pastore10 Oh look, ah Messi-fan preparing to troll CR7 with excuses right before the game. Laying up the perfect foundation for trolling if things go bad. If CR7 doesnt score tomorrow, you will propably come really hard in your pants.

  • 2-0 United

  • @FF2021 noticed your predicts and most times it favors the opposing team

  • @BrilliantCon Recall one with Tottenham

  • Man Utd might need a 4th centre back to stop conceding so many goals.

  • @MrNemobody believe it or not its Ronaldo’s fault we’ve come to this. This one dimensional strategy of breaking on the counter and praying that the ball ends up at ronaldo’s foot in front of goal is pathetic. I get that he saved a bunch this season but just look at today’s performance. Zero tactics. Poor possession. No technique. The good teams will always break down these runs and if we dont stop doing this, Ronaldo’s gonna ruin us the same way he did Juventus. We were better off last season without him. What we need to do now is start playing real football with Possession, Passing and High Pressing. This is what wins you titles.

  • @TheRealCritic100 TF ! we don't need you Pessidog. It is Man U who do not match with the quality of Ronaldo. Players cannot even deliver a perfect cross. How pathetic ! Ronaldo is the all time top goal scorer all time UCL scorer all time international scorer Don't ever Bark here again you Pessidog

  • @Nir7 Bro i didn’t even mention Messi. I just said we need to play real football. I love Ronaldo but not the one in utd and juve but the one that was in Real Madrid. He’s still a great goalscorer but now his lack of dribbling and coming back to defend means that teams adapt by playing counter attacking football instead of dominating the play. This is what needs to change. If he cant play like that, we’re better off without him.

  • @TheRealCritic100 You are an idiot. UTD has to counter play cause of Ronaldo? Are you high? They have played like this for 3 years. Stop triggering me with BS comment like this.

  • @Belinho 3 years with how many titles? Dont feel like we’re gonna be winning anything again this season. I hoped that adding Ronaldo would bring some quality to the side but it only made matters worse. We need players like DeBruyne and Kante who read games and allow their teams to keep possession. Ronaldo aint it chief and stats don't lie. I dont want utd to end up like Juventus. Yeah Ronaldo will score goals but it’ll lead to nothing in the end if we keep getting toyed with by big clubs.

  • @MrNemobody Man U conceded Two goals mainly because Ronaldo is not pressing at all, he barely can make a run

  • How wasn't that second goal a De Gea error?

  • @Maarten More Shaw's fault than De Gea's.

  • @MrNemobody 1. Shaw was at fault because of lazy defending. If that is enough to get an E for Error above your name (which I agree with, btw), Wan-Bissaka and Fernandes should also get one. 2. It is not an Opta rule that a goal could only result from one player's error, on the contrary. If more players are at fault, they will all be given the red E.

  • Once United finish 5th in the EPL and get knocked out of the UCL, Ronaldo will pack his bags for Man City, BEST club of Manchester.

  • @Moriniq City aren't going to pay half a million per week to a guy who would make them worse!! City are a team, they don't need a player who would make it all about himself.

  • @Moriniq I highly doubt City are willing to pay his high wages when they already have too many quality attackers on payroll and besides, everybody scores at City, they don't need a dedicated goalscorer

  • I suspect the City players of sparing Utd the humiliation they deserve because they want Ole to keep his job.

  • 2nd half this could be 0-4 or 0-5.

  • 0-1 another home embarrassment on the way

  • @eastend1 Man Utd will score, be Ronaldo on 90+ minute.

  • @watts320 Yeah, maybe but will it matter at all ? 1-3

  • This is one of those matches that form and quality rarely decide, but my guess is a City win

  • I feel like betting over 2.5 but premier league games are weird so it probably ends 0-0 even though everything is pointing towards lots of goals.

  • 1-2

  • Away

  • I see man city written all over this

  • Joao cancelo super wingback MOTM

  • @WxWe chillwell plays golf

  • @SamuelOkellogum his performances as an exemplary Mr both wings was just in my dreams.

  • Ole start now is similar to 3rd season of Ferguson, no worries. People cant even recall history. Also, they should not fire Moyes so early and even without proper transfers. Now seems they took that lesson to keep Ole.

  • @koziol.mutant I dont think Ole had the dominan character as SAF. In SAF times, everybody in the dressing room, every body in the club, know who is the real alpha. Its never be the same case with Ole.

  • Aaaanytime now Ole is going to pull a Ferguson, winning so much after dreadful run of losses... or at least that's what some deluded United fan said to me a few weeks ago.

  • Why so much extra stoppage time ?

  • @neumi17 for United to get a fully deserved corner

  • ole sack

  • Oh my gaa De Gea! City ate Unt this first half, also G.Jesus out Mahrez in

  • 4/1 utd to win is too big

  • @3shots city scored as i was placing my bet, saved my money

  • Pep is a real scoundrel, why bench Riyad Mahrez. I have money on him to score anytime and his on the bench. WTF

  • Null ou Cr7

  • First goal City, F/H City

  • Without Varane the back line for United becomes even more suspect. United already sit towards the bottom of the table when it comes to xGA, losing Varane doesn't help them there.. City will be desperate not to drop points and lose even more ground to Chelsea and Liverpool. Ederson hasn't been very reliable so I can't back the clean sheet but I expect City to go through quite easily here.

  • Liverpool 5-0 city will look to replicate that anybody thinking of an upset is delusional....in any case it works in uniteds favour if they lose ole gets the sack potentially

  • Line Up: Henderson, Baily, Maguire, Lindelof, Shaw, Matic, Mctominay, Bruno, Cristiano, Rashford

  • @WxWe who is rb

  • @WxWe lol so United will start with just 10 players??

  • @dannylim88 If it is Maguire to be the missing 11th player sounds good

  • Line Up: Ederson, Cancelo, Stones, Dias, Walker, Rodri, Silva, Gundogan, Grealish, Foden, Jesus

  • 2-2 or 2-1 no Mahrez, no party.

  • bald fraud vs regular fraud

  • Pleeeaaaase play the same team OGS, If he does it cold be a comfortable 3-0 win. If he doesn't I'm pretty sure City will win. Mark my words peeps.
