Where did 5 minutes come from?

 

[mysticsniper]

Wow, just seen the scoreline. I was expecting Leicester to still be in 2nd after the Manchester Derby.

Fair play to Ole, got his tactics spot on today.

Leaving Foden out of the start was a huge mistake for Pep.

 

[fez]

This is just the sort of game that really suits us.

Bruno looked like he was trying to sub himself back on. Can't question his desire to win. If we had 11 players with his dedication and commitment we would be a far better side.

 

[adam cool dude]

Massive three points for us and that top 4. All the teams below us still have to play City.

Ole moves up into third place out of managers to beat Guardiola raking up his 4th win. Behind Jose and Klopp. Not bad company for a PE teacher

 

[Andybtsn]

Pep just needs to go with Foden/KDB at no 9, Jesus really isn’t good enough up top and killed the game in the first minute.

Derby win.
Beat team top 6.
Liverpool lost.
Carlsberg weekend

Oh and clean sheet

 

[adam cool dude]

Martial MotM?? What game was Neville watching.

Isn't it obvious. He is trying to perk up his team by giving Martial confidence.

 

[fez]

Good win after what I feared would happen today. Generally defended well and City were a bit below par.

These are the games that suit us down to a tee and and we were always going to be up for the derby.

I think some people will be surprised if we are crap again in our next game against a team that defends properly.

Not a bad end to the weekend really

 

[Robbo]

Good to win of course, but City have already run away with the league, this is pretty typical of Ole's team. We're always able to play well against offensive teams.

De Gea needs binning, I much prefer Henderson, seems confident and looks settled already. Not sure who would buy De Gea though nowadays and pay his massive wages...

 

[robfosters]

Lol at Keane smirking at Richards obvious disappointment

He's the sort of player you would buy tbf

Just think if we didn't drop 6 points between Leicester, Everton and West Brom and the 3 points against Sheffield United. We would only be two points behind. All of those games were winable yet we threw them away.

Just too many draws this season. Hope we can fix that next season and keep the consistency.

Has any manager beaten Pep as many times? I can't think of anyone who may have done better?
It's not as if MU came up with any tactical surprises either. City just can't seem to handle a pacey counter attack. Granted, that 1min goal helped a lot today. But still...

 

[Shamikebab]

Think Ole is the only manager who has beaten Pep more than he's lost to him or something like that.

Except arsenal

What a goal from Kane.

 

[Kelt]

My word, Harry Kane is some player.
