Rival Watch Thread Watch

The incorrect refereeing decisions don't make the statement that they nearly got a draw wrong though, as they did, whether deserved or not isn't the point, it's a simple fact they nearly snatched a draw at the end.

Oh and camping on the edge of your own box when playing a side who've been down to 10 for over half the game isn't standard fair, they bottled it and the crowd sensed it as well.

Any club and its fanz would be encouraged by how we played our last two games. 1 points is disappointing as it could easily have been 4.

But we take so much from it. Unlike a very lucky win over qpr and a defeat to a side who were about to sack their manager.

That actually proves my point as the 0-65 shot shows them much higher up the pitch

Did you actually watch the game? United had a number of chances late on and the crowd were ****ting themselves

Did you even read my post or just generate a generic disagreement post

Yes, when trying to score because it was 0-0 they were higher. Shocker.

At that time they were so high they only had the GK and 2 CBs in their own half. Why the **** would they ever be that high when already winning?

I was worried for City because the referee had PROVEN he was trying to keep them in the game with absolutely ridiculous penalty decisions and, like Chelsea, the chance of a late ref-assisted equaliser looked on.

never going to be 4... ever... you'd no chances to win either game really... none ironed on in either game.

Fellaini, rooney and di maria should have scored. Old man van persie waltzed through city too. Remember when suarez did that and how they creamed thrmselves?

Yes the title shows this is the last 10 mins +ET only, i.e. at their most defensive when all they wanted to do was see out the game and not give the ref any chances like against Chelsea

Haha so losing 1-0 means it was a close game.

Typical comment from a clueless football fan.

Try watching the game again - City dominated the game bar 15 mins, should have scored more, should have had 3 penos.

But if you take comfort from a flattering scoreline (1-0), then you're ambitions are low.

Again they didn't. They had 30 mins on top against ten me. Otherwise united were better until the red and for tge final 20.

Yet again the Man Utd definition of "better" is "worse, without getting completely smashed"

Not really, Suarez did score

I see the issue then yaya could run forward but he never bothered his arse running back last 20. this is citys problem and if you look at their form over the past few games they've let in goals second half...

v west ham shako 75mins lotst 2-1
v cska.. 64min and 84th min pen conceeded.. drew 2-2


It is something just to keep an eye on as the game sprogress over the next couple of weeks and yaya plas 2 a week... it'll be interesting.

perhaps pelligrini would have been better off subbing jovetic for fernandiho and pushing yaya on and letting him navas and aguero run at utd and voer the other aspects off... again just something interesting.

It clearly says 80 to 95 minutes at the top

this is now stretching out and out.. 30mins now... hell utd dominated from start to finish and the ref robbed them... poor utd.

very good.
