  • lol

  • Now both Arsenal and Spurs have 3 games in hand compared to United, there's a real possibility United will finish 6th, SIUUU!

  • Silent comments section. It means a good day for Man City haha.

  • @nikoanzai Your in-form defender out because of COVID, 2 weeks after even mask restriction got removed. You have to play with Maguire and he runs circus whole game there, gifting goals. Both of your strikers are out, hoping that youngsters will do something. Lingard completely useless, 5 players circling Rashford and no other United player seen on the screen. United players lost their desires after second goal already despite pressing very well so what you were expecting to read, happy?

  • @Byakuya Varane wouldn't have made much difference, and Utd would have played Maguire even if Varane was fit to play. Ronaldo would arguably have held Utd back ,and likely hindered them even further. Cavani was the only real miss but Utd wouldn't have been able to provide him the service. Understandable key players missing but 2 of them are 35+ and would no way have kept up with City's tempo. Either way, I dont think the result would have been any different.

  • @Jonnyh140109 Varane was amongst nominees for player of the month for United, he would definitely make a difference considering defensive mistakes affected the whole team's performance. Shaw also had COVID, Telles is better only offensively. United created a few chances in the first half but missed a finisher which would apply both for Ronaldo and Cavani, then basically gave up rather than keeping up with the tempo as some players weren't even running anymore so it could be a totally different game.

  • @Byakuya I mean comments section is silent each and every time Man City wins. Man Utd is irrelevant.

  • Utd what a joke lol K. D. Bruyne with 2 goals and an assist so far.

  • Unstoppable De Bruyne!! also, not an error lead to goal from Lindeloof in the 2nd goal? It's weird.

  • @dib it was 2 lucky goals even timo Werner would have scored

  • @Frank1234 2 lucky goals ? Did you even watch the game? 1st one, ball played straight to KDB's feet in the box. Simple goal, not lucky. 2nd one, It was a good but lucky save by DDG, Foden should have scored when he went through, City players followed up, the ball was likely to find a City player if Utd didn't clear it. You could argue it was lucky to fall perfect for KDB, but I would argue Utd were lucky that Foden didn't put it away in the first instance.

  • @Frank1234 What do you mean "even"? Werner is a good striker.

  • 2-0, 3-1

  • Logic says a comfy win for City, but me wants Utd win, well cz of Liverpool.

  • 3-0��

  • Who else is hoping not to see FairFootballFan here after the match? Boy that dude must be praying haaard before the game.

  • City 3-1

  • it's gonna be messy. it's gonna be ugly. it's gonna be hard to fathom. Welcome to Etihad!! 6:2 FT

  • Ronaldo Ghosting in Big Matches. Last time Liverpool gave 5-0 ...

  • @SagorSrkian You're talking about an old man here .. he's Not Ronaldo Of 2008 or 2016 he is an Old Guy now

  • @SagorSrkian oh that's why he is not playing right? Stupid ass

  • @MickeyClark Yes... 4-1... Pendu Escaped

  • @MickeyClark faked injury to escape criticism, smart guy

  • @GioMonaldo right

  • 7-0 for City

  • Gone for history to repeat as a year ago tomorrow 0-2 to Man Utd and Bruno to score first, very nice odds so doesn't need a big stake.

  • @Geolardo Utd should have played Bruno, might of made a difference.

  • Under 3.5 goals

  • 1-2 MU win

  • It will be 1-1..united to score first and silence etihad and city to get a second half equalizer.. De gea motm

  • It would be a highscoring game. Over 4.5 goals with utd winning the match

  • @MickeyClark So close, but yet so far

  • Lol at all the United fans predicting their side to win! You're getting bummed.

  • 1-1
