    Too true. With the pace and movement of Rashford, Martial and Lingard and the power of Lukaku, why be afraid?
    The first time Utd attacked them, they looked very vulnerable.

    Both sides make a sub at half-time. Doesn't happen very often and they're both due to injury, I think.

    A back four of Walker, Otamendi, Fernandinho and Delph doesn't sound like a defence anyone with a sound mind would pick.
    Attack them Utd

    2-1 City. Otamendi. Put on a plate for him by some appalling defending by Lukaku. Boots it off his own man.

    I expect the Pochettino staff will study this game exactly
    as they did for the first PL clash with Citeh last season.
    The supposed "attacking" sides Dortmund/Madrid/Liverpool
    soon got the message.

    Jesus subbed off for Mangala. Fernandinho back into the midfield, I guess.
    Bit early to have made two subs. Will that come back to haunt him?

    United playing to the strengths of City. I thought these guys were supposed to be amazing managers?

    It's all got a bit filthy. Lots of players leaving one in, leading with the arm and diving.

    Yep playing in a stable full of donkeys and so called wise men who trudge across a desert without a pair of socks or a scarf between them. Doesn't sound too wise to me.

    Herrera in the book for a dive. About time that happened.

    Ederson with a double save to deny Lukaku and Mata. Good block with his gob! <laugh>

    2-1 FT. 11 points clear and it's a long way back for anyone to challenge them.
    Everyone above us apart from them dropped points this weekend, though. That's decent for us.

    Silva motm for me. Exceptional player.

    Look forward to seeing action taken against Matic for the elbow and the club for the idiot that tried to throw a flair at Other Silva.

    Back to how it was for us awhile ago when us and City were winning plenty and the others were all slipping up.

    I suppose they deserved it.
    But their goals had a bit of good fortune.
    The officiating was s****
    And the tactics were wrong. They have weaknesses. Teams have to be brave enough to take them on rather than try to contain them.

    EDIT: Oh - and they earned me three points in the prediction league :confused:
