Worst individual performance I've seen in a United jersey in years. That includes the ads our players have been in. He's been astronomically bad.

Really? Worse then Rooney today.

Granted i'm flicking between the Celtic game and this game but everytime I see Rooney with the ball he either crosses into the first man or gives it away.

Myktarian doesn't look great either, but I thought Roonet would be first off, or at least moved further up front. Doesn't seem to have the awarness or the passing skills this deep.

Yeah they dealt with everything fine apart from the Kepper throwing the game.

Fascinating watching the replay of Iheanacho's goal. Literally everyone for both City and United just stop and watch the ball when de Bruyne hits it.

Mantis Toboggan

Smalling, martial and rashers please

RobbingBandit

LVG ain't here no more a quick double sub here now mata and rashford for Micky and Rooney can be the difference between 2-1 and 3-2 or dare I dream 5-2. Come on United.

After that first half I think I was right. Let's forget the league for now, concentrate on playing well, hopefully finishing 4th. Anything else a bonus

You sound like a Liverpool supporter.

Can you imagine if Ilkay, Sane,Aguero ,Kompany and Jesus to pick from.

Worse then any 45 Rooney has had this season or last. I would love to see his stats from that half. He gave the ball away so often. Didn't win a single 50/50, didn't win any 70/30s even. Worst 45 I've seen in a long, long time.

C+. Could do better.

jimmytwotimes 2013

Midfield two getting run around, will he bring in a DM to sit in front of back 4?

Where is Mikel? Have hardly used him since we signed him.

Going forward I don't think Fellaini is the partner for Pogba. Pogba needs to have someone who'll hold the centre while he does his thing.

The worst thing about Bravo's mistake for the goal is we are now going to have to endure nonsense bull**** about how difficult it is for goalkeepers in the premier league and how apparently a ball being crossed into the box is something that only happens in the premier league and Bravo would never have had to deal with something like that before.

Yeah...... The keeper is a pretty important part. His head went after the goal and united need to put pressure on him in the 2nd half.

City very tidy in possession all the same so it's very difficult to create the opportunities to get at bravo.

Can't be any worse than Bravo at dealing with crosses though.

Oh wait...

Liam McPoyle

Rashers and Herrara on for Miki and Lingard.

Correct sub's.

JaMarcusHustle

Good riddance.

I actually thought Ibra had been dreadful up to the goal as well.

Changes upcoming

Faugheen

Herrara and Rashford on, Lingard and Mkhitaryan off.

4-3-3, here we go!

tayto lover

So will United start lumping the high balls into the box now or is that just not Jose's way?

Liam McPoyle

Not with the way Bravo handles crosses!

S.M.B.

Good changes. 100% agree. As long as someone gets the role to pick up de bruyne.

RobbingBandit

Come on Rashford.

IncognitoMan

Correct changes. Now to get at these

tayto lover

Sterling has been one of the worse players on the pitch so far.
Giving possession away non-stop.

Mantis Toboggan

Rashers has been amazing already

Faugheen

As much as Iheanacho and Rashford are the two stars of the future for both sides, I feel they're completely different players. Rashford showing there just how good he is.

Jayop

Playing ****e and could be 4 2 up.

5starpool

Stones was as much at fault as Bravo really. He got a shout but still went up for the ball. Things like that happen when the new keeper hasn't even trained with the team.

This game will end up 3-2 now I'd say, not sure to who though.

City could and should be up 6-0 now though...works both ways.

tayto lover

Is Rooney yellow card proof?

How? I don't remember any clear cut chances for them apart from the two goals...

Mantis Toboggan

Great to see United finally pushing up on the kick out, how's that passing accuracy now bravo

RobbingBandit

City defense very silly tackles I can see a peno soon enough.

From less than 6 shots on target. Makes sense.

Mars Bar

That's not a yellow. That's the one time Fellaini didn't intentionally put out his elbow!!

Never a yellow

5starpool

Fellaini is famous for the elbow throws, but there was very little in that one though.

Liam McPoyle

Pep going to park the bus?

Vicxas

Fellaini elbowing....... never

Kirby

Reputation did him there.

That was never a yellow.

tayto lover

Sterling loses it yet again. He's been shyte all day.

Kelechi using his abilities, Rashford using his.

Different players, both stars of the future for their respective teams.

Don't know what your post is trying to say there.

Harry Palmr

Bravo makes me appreciate Mignolet.

5starpool

Bravo looks like he really doesn't want to be on the pitch now. Not a penalty, but still awful play.

Liam McPoyle

Bravo is a feckin head banger.

LuckyGent88

Lunge ffs

Should have been red
