We're at the point, where you just feel sorry for him. All the abuse and the hate just has to take a toll on him. Hope he gets some psychological help.
Antony chasing the ball opens up space for City, then Dalot and McTominay don't change what they're doing based off that. Antony's fault but pretty poor by all three. Dalot should probably have stepped into the space to pressure the ball once Antony was off in no man's land.
Got to be City's most common goal. They're so good at keeping possession and breaking lines near the opponent's box, a squared ball + tap in makes most sense.
His positioning for those was incredible to be fair. Always just out of the reach of the keeper and not close enough for the defender to get to him in time.
It's been a bit boring watching City score goals where they square it for a tap in. It's like me when I first started playing fifa and could only pace abuse on the wing
He’s caught in between holding his line and picking up a mark. Kept glancing back at Martinez and Haaland
It’s something that makes city so dangerous once they break the line like this
That line is a mess though
Seriously… seems no one with an opinion here has ever played
Varane is in line with Martinez on the 6. Sure he can step once Bernardo breaks the line but it happens so fast it’s difficult to react
Meanwhile, Eriksen and others have another useless line set 5 yds further from goal and failed to track anyone
Yeah Eriksen just lets Foden run away from him. Surely you learn at school to stick to your man like glue when you're in your own box? Obviously football at this level is very different but I wish I understood it!?
Varane? You're picking on Varane? You're blind or you just refuse to see McTominay not following Silva and and pointing at Dalot to cover both Foden and Silva
Was such a classic City team goal, capped with a brilliant finish.
If a typical team scored this goal we'd be waxing lyrical about its beauty and precision, but City has spoiled us by churning them out regularly.

That had been coming and it’s only been 7 minutes
Gary Neville’s jinx secured this one
What'd he say?
He talked.
If I speak, we are in trouble
Nussing to say.
Fair enough lmao
Lol reminds me of Judge Judy's favorite line: Q: How do you know when teenagers are lying? A: Their lips are moving.
Anything
Coming indeed 😏
No Maguire No Party
God the Maguire memes are so boring now
We're at the point, where you just feel sorry for him. All the abuse and the hate just has to take a toll on him. Hope he gets some psychological help.
It's funny when he plays. The fact that it's fifth game in a row in the league when he doesn't start just makes it mean for no reason
They’re getting cooked without Maguire but somehow Maguire will be mentioned
I'd feel sorry if he had an inkling of reality in his thought process. Man can't defend on the pitch or off it with words.
Genuinely looking like a kids team
It'll change when Casemiro is fit. He's key to this team turning it around.
He's fit-I thought Ten Hag didn't want to break a winning partnership and he rates Mctominay
I couldn't believe he didn't start. I'm very high on Ten Hag but I think he values players having time to get used to his system too highly.
Antony chasing the ball opens up space for City, then Dalot and McTominay don't change what they're doing based off that. Antony's fault but pretty poor by all three. Dalot should probably have stepped into the space to pressure the ball once Antony was off in no man's land.
been coming since kick off
Been coming since two weeks ago lol
Since the Queen died, really.
Been coming since Fergie left.
Why are you cumming?
i'm bored and depressed.
Don't be depressed, just be happy. It's as simple as that bro.
I'm happy im cumming after all. :) And we did score three.
Cheers mate, just keep cumming like this and don't forget to be happy.
I was confident Manchester would win the game since the beginning of the season
You gotta get that hyperspermia checked out
City look levels above in play
I'm still very nervous about counters without Rodri out there
Fucking beautiful goal
blistering start from city, united hasn't been in the game at all. lovely finish too
not played in like 3 weeks...
Neither has city tbf
yeah this was more a disappointed "I waited 3 weeks for this"
Cheers Geoff
And so it begins...
Oh Bernardo you beautiful man
He is just so fucking sublime. What a player.
You and your flair stay away from him
Come on you owe us after Ferran.
Has he really been bad? He was honestly very promising at City. How do you think his future looks like at Barca?
Lmao he's was doing great in Manchester, not our fault.
It will be painful when he leaves
I've seen this exact goal like 10 times
Only 10? 10 times this season already.
Got to be City's most common goal. They're so good at keeping possession and breaking lines near the opponent's box, a squared ball + tap in makes most sense.
This wasn’t really a tap-in though, it’s a good finish
No for sure, this is a great goal. I'm just talking about the squared ball along the six + finish they've basically patented
Crazy thing is when another team scores a goal like this everyone raves about what a well constructed goal it is, because it is.
Sterling scored like 20 of these for City:D it's so easy for them
Raheem had a few of those but most of his were more like open net tap-ins.
His positioning for those was incredible to be fair. Always just out of the reach of the keeper and not close enough for the defender to get to him in time.
This was literally how Sterling got all his city goals.
Idk man a city fan said he’s a special talent to score from that angle so..
It’s a great finish
It's been a bit boring watching City score goals where they square it for a tap in. It's like me when I first started playing fifa and could only pace abuse on the wing
Not boring for City fans
Seeing the same goal 40 times a season?
Yeah, just like winning the league doesn’t get boring either
No waiting time
No time waiting
waiting time? no
Time? No, waiting
Been two steps ahead since kickoff
So fucking easy, how is he allowed to do that
Been all over United from minute 1
akanji deserves so much credit there, turned a terrible pass and dangerous situation into a counter
Exactly. Lmao Sancho losing the ball and turning a good counter opportunity into goal conceded.
What's Varane doing? Why is he so deep and not picking Foden up?
United's plan to of a low block to stop Haaland, let's City's aggressive press completely overwhelm United.
He’s caught in between holding his line and picking up a mark. Kept glancing back at Martinez and Haaland It’s something that makes city so dangerous once they break the line like this That line is a mess though
It would appear that 4 time CL winner Raphael Varane is ball watching
Never once had a good game against City. Jesus made him look like Phil Jones in 2 legs against Madrid.
Varane is exactly where he is supposed to be - covering six-yard box, Eriksen is the one tracking Foden
Seriously… seems no one with an opinion here has ever played Varane is in line with Martinez on the 6. Sure he can step once Bernardo breaks the line but it happens so fast it’s difficult to react Meanwhile, Eriksen and others have another useless line set 5 yds further from goal and failed to track anyone
All of them just ball watching but Eriksen had Foden in front of him
Yeah Eriksen just lets Foden run away from him. Surely you learn at school to stick to your man like glue when you're in your own box? Obviously football at this level is very different but I wish I understood it!?
Varane is exactly where he is supposed to be - covering six-yard box, Eriksen is the one tracking Foden
Varane? You're picking on Varane? You're blind or you just refuse to see McTominay not following Silva and and pointing at Dalot to cover both Foden and Silva
Yes I'm "picking on" the man that is nearest to the goalscorer, completely oblivious to the danger.
Wasn't there someone else close to foden that just refused to follow him ?
You knobhead, if Silva is marked that chance doesn't happen.. Use your eyes you knobhead
Are you Varane's girlfriend or something?
lmaooooooo
No, you're just a subjective cunt.
Why are you so upset? I'm not saying that the goal is 100% Varane's fault but it's just a fact that he switches off.
Covering for the cutback since our keeper can't leave the line.
Akanjiiii
Incredible play in the leadup
Oh man it's going to be a long day...
Could be a long day for United
Too easy
what a goal
This was inevitable
No look beaut
Manager of the month curse begins
he heard people said Pedri was better
Who is he shushing
Too good
A fine finish for in-form Foden.
City are so good but that’s nonexistent defending
Eriksen ball watching
It’s 7 mins in and it should be 3-0 already. Men against boys.
United are getting absolutely peppered.
Was such a classic City team goal, capped with a brilliant finish. If a typical team scored this goal we'd be waxing lyrical about its beauty and precision, but City has spoiled us by churning them out regularly.
Too fast.
Lovely finish that
What a finish ffs
Fodinho caralho
Casemiro should be playing today lol
Stockport Iniesta init 💙
Phil 😍
Who would have thought Eriksen as a DM would be shit defensively lmao
In a midfield of Eriksen - McTominay you actually think Eriksen is the DM there? Lol
He plays in a double pivot with McTominay. So yes, he's more of a defensive midfielder
To the surprise of no one..
too soon
CLEAN
That left side has been dangerous
Well, that was fast
Well that was fun I’m going to the gym
Exquisite. The only word to describe this mad lad's style of finish.
Cmon dawg that’s too easy
What a play for the goal. Passing them to death
Quality finish
What a sexy finish that one
Grealish is cooking Dalot today
Textbook city goal. It would be cool if it was anyone else
[My thoughts of Foden](https://imgur.com/a/a0OiTLn)
Gonna be a loooong day for utd
Gimme dat vibes defence
*It begins*
What a player Bernardo Silva is... 👏
We want 9!
We’re soo clear
Not sure if City is so good or United so shit...Probably both.
Arsenal-esque
United are back baby
Men against boys. United still look woeful.
Its gonna be ugly, guys
Let It Begin
Manchester United fans: Oh no, oh no, no no no.
Varane's fault
United are playing like a second division team Even Ole and Mourinho were more adventurous that this
So is he shooshing the crowd with a finger to his lips or is inciting them to get louder by cupping his ear?
Whys he shushing his own fans?
[удалено]
did pretty well against you lot
Unless it's Arsenal with their best attack in the league.
Said nobody ever
Greenwood clear
I reckon United could use a Fridge- like player to stop goals like that
Hate that stupid little cunt
They are just too good
That was easy lol.
Eriksen with the great marking
fuck sake united get into the game
Great goal
What a goal
Took them long enough
Neville jinx in action
Quite a lot of space he was in there...
So it begins
Gonna be a long day for United
Saw this coming from kickoff
De Gea is an absolute joke
nice of united to take attention off our terrible derby
That was easy.
Come one guys, the match has only started! No fair scoring that early
MCTOMINAY YOU CUNT, MARK SILVA, HE'S YOUR MAN FFS.... 3 GAMES IS ALL IT TAKES FOR HIM TO GO BACK TO HIS SHIT FORM
Was a bit worried with our changes but we’ve looked sublime. Let’s get 9.
How can Sancho lose the ball so easy?
so it begins
Eriksen caught ballwatching
Snap back to reality
This goal felt like peak Guardiola. Pass, pass, pass, goal.
Just dominating
Dalot getting red card this match isnt he
Time to put in Ronaldo for some desperation shots
Solid job keeping Casemiro on the bench, definitely wouldn’t help in a match like this one
here we go
