    De Bruyne has been excellent, Sterling still isint doing enough for me, just makes the wrong decisions it's like watching the new Lennon or Walcott

    Are there any other keepers out there who can pass the ball but who aren't massive liabilities?

    There's going to be another goal in this game. It's looking like Man City, at the moment.

    It's early days, but it looks like Man City are going to take some stopping. Can anybody not see them winning the league?

    I think Arsenal have the same problems as the last 10 years, Liverpool aren't good enough so at the moment Chelsea look the only side that could challenge but as you say early. Only other side is Spurs but they look a little inconsistent

    They don't have an excess of quality upfront when Aguero's injured which he often is. If De Bruyne keeps that form up then he adds a lot in that respect but I don't think Iheanacho is good enough yet to be relied on.

    However for me Pep is the best manager in the league and City are playing the best football by some distance so they're my current favourites for the title.

    Thought it was a shocking challenge on Rooney by bravo. Anywhere else on the field it's a red card! City were awesome first half. United looked good second half. Lingaard was awful! Might as well have played first half with ten!!

    Pogba doesn't look anywhere near on that showing. De Bruyne is class

    DeBruyn was masterful today and a fair few of the self acclaimed genius players could take a leaf out of his book. He played football how it should be done. Ibrahimovic scored one but fluffed another four, DeB scored one, made one, and hit the post. Nuff said

    Just an early observation though, if Mourhino is a genius why did not he not put his second half team out from the start with those tactics.

    De Bruyne show.

    We looked unfit.

    Mkhitaryan and Lingard stayed at home.

    City deserved the win, Bravo is a joke though, was it a red? Not seen it, looked bad.

    Off to hide for 6 weeks.

    Bye.

    I thought bravo went in side footed and won the ball personally.

    City looked the better side but your expect that.

    Jose had/has more work to do in creating a great side than Pep has so it's only natural City look a little further ahead. Much as they did last year.

    Interested to see how they both develop.

    Looked a red to me. My dad hates your lot and every decision which went your way he said should be city. But he thought it was a red!!

    We were just pathetic in the first half, didn't match them for intensity and we wouldn't have scored that goal without their keeper being so crap.

    2nd half was better but everything was going through Rooney instead of Rashford, who was causing them more trouble than anybody else.

    Onwards and hopefully upwards.
