No penalty. Not given because it never was.
Move on lads.

Its not. Confidence is required. Arrogance is not. The sign of a great leader is to admit your mistakes. Too many in the game think far too much of themselves.

We all make mistakes. It shows maturity to admit them. Pep got that game tactically wrong. Badly. Very, very badly. He should have saved his players and held his hands up. He didnt.

Yea whatever.......he's a top manager , you're not, so he's doing something right.

How do you know he doesn't admit those things privately to his players. Do you want public admissions making him look weak?

Was a penalty and a red card

DDC1990

Not sure about the Bravo incident.

He won the ball, but it was reckless.

One of those that the referee will give a free kick for outside the box but not a penalty.

United fans calling for a handball when the ball hits Otemendi's back is ridiculous.

Rooney has been much better in the second half after I criticized him at half time. Probably because he's out of midfield and is playing as a wide forward. He seems much more natural there.

Not a great shot there though.

Burial.

Nice dive Ibra, Stones nowhere near him.

Skylinehead

"De Brunye"

You're getting paid for this Carragher so make an effort please.

Which top manager doesnt have this trait?

Ancelotti. Klopp. Two managers just off the top of my head who admitted they got the selection/tactics wrong and took the blame for a defeat. Plenty of managers have done it in the past.

ThunbergsAreGo

United are playing like Wimbledon circa 1992 using their physical superiority, its good to watch the clash of styles

Take it from me that not one commentator on UK tv pronounces it right.

He's not "De Broyne" or "De Brewnye" either.

No it wasn't. You think it should have been which is your opinion, but still doesn't change the fact that it wasn't, even if it was 100% blatant, as it wasn't given.

Offside clearly.

Mars Bar

Oh my goodness

murpho999

£50m for Stones looks poor value today.

Fall over Shaw

Insect Overlord

Rashford keeps making things happen.

Faugheen

No complaints there.

Burial.

What was Zlatan doing there.

5starpool

City surely can't hold out being this shaky at the back unless they score again to kill the game off (probably) can they?

Liam McPoyle

Would that have counted if Ibra hadn't touched it?

Aye, they're not perfect but at least put the letters in the right order. Same thing as Carzola

Shouldn't have, ibra was in the eyeline of the keeper.

Probably not, but I think it was going straight at the keeper anyway.

Sure Neville calls him "Ka Zola". :P

Let's be honest, of all the people on the pitch today to say look poor value stones shouldn't be the one who gets singled out. He's been good.

Faugheen

City should have had a penalty there too.

Right, evened out. No more complaints.

Saul T Nutzz wrote: »

Possibly, but it shouldn't haveas he was right between the ball and the keeper, so in the line of sight. Seen them given both ways, but would have been technically offside I believe.

Burial.

Very tramp like by Bailly there.

ThunbergsAreGo

Penalty and a clear red for Bailly, probably had to go for it but nowhere near the ball.

Frustrating how often they arent given

No they shouldn't have

De Geniesta.

End to end stuff. How unlucky was that by de Bruyne!

Liam McPoyle

Facking hell!!

Mars Bar

Holy **** balls

Manutd_4life

Holy moly!!!

Mantis Toboggan

C'mon clatterburg get the finger out

Kirby

Wow...

Vicxas

JESUS! Whisper close!

Skylinehead

Rooney should be booked for asking for that penalty. IMO :pac:

Kiith

This is a brilliant game

jive

After a quiet start to the season KDB showing his class again. Hard to believe he slipped through the net at Chelsea.

Mantis Toboggan

Some of the players legs seem to be gone with 20 minutes left!

Johner

Can see this finishing 2-2, City should be out of sight.

He was too young for that manager.

Liam McPoyle

Tony M coming on.

For Ibra or Rooney?

Vicxas

Great match to start of the weekend.

Weren't there stories about home-sickness or something at the time? Couple more years of maturity and development paying off now.

Morrison J

How the **** has Rooney not been booked.

Damien360

Is this all Rooney can do. Looking for penos for nothing. If he keeps that up for the season, every ref will ignore him even when there is a genuine shout.
