Just finished 3-0! Manur played fantastic,everything we aren?t, fast, forward thinking, trickymidfielders, it proves that spending big money produces big players and performances. Mbuemo,Cunha, sessko didn?t even play. We get Elanga, wissa and woltermade, light years behind the top teams imo, and no sign of improvement soon. We flapp about in the transfer market and when we do eventually sign players they?re our 3 rd 4 th choice. Really angry just now and hope it isn?t made worse on Sunday!
I hate the red filth, so I am biased against them. However, it was a game devoid of quality. City looked like us against a team that had parked the bus.Quote:

That decision would have changed everything.
However, City didn't have any ideas about how to break the 7-3-0 Carrick deployed. That's on them. Some terrible passes too. It worked the counter attack anti-football won the day.
Carrick's team will be judged on the other matches this season, not the Derby. Getting shot of Scam-job was always gonna give them a bounce. The swamp was a bear pitch.
Nothing to worry about at this point. The Carrick bounce won't last. Grass isn't always greener.
Carrick 7- 3-0 system put 3 past city, thought it was actually a good game for the neutral, was hoping for a 0-0 or a city win but hey ho,lets hope it’s short lived!
If mbuemo and Cunha didnt play who scored the first and assisted the second?
And it was 2-0. If youre going to have a rant at least get the facts right.
The 3rd was ruled out it was 2-0.Quote:

Mbummo was good to be fair on the break, counter attacked well.Quote:

Again Dalot should have seen red.

Can anyone defend VAR when it's so blatantly a red card. Shameful. This could have seriously injured Doku. We've already see what happened to Schar due to shocking weak refereeing.
Disgraceful bias.
Didn't see the match.
Disappointed, not least because my father-in-law was a staunch City supporterback in the day, through thick and thin. Mainly thin in his day at Maine Road!
But the stats are interestingf. City 68% possession. Manure 11 shots, City 7 But Manure 7 on target, City 1 on target.
Aye, sounds like we're not the only ones who struggle to break down a side parking the bus! If Haaland, Semenya, Foden & Doku are struggling to do it, then I wouldn't be too harsh on our lads! :)
Game would have changed completely had Dalot been sent off as he should have been.
Ironically, playing City as Carricks first game in charge was best they could have hoped for opposition wise - guarenteed to rile their fans up and get some team support.
