If Utd are looking for a new manager, that chap who won the FA Cup today is worth talking to.

I thought he lookes surprisingly relaxed, maybe he knows something we don't.

I didnt see City create anything clear cut that would have troubled the xG statistics....some long range shots maybe but nothing where the striker was facing goal in control of the ball, with the whites of the keepers eyes bulging.
Haaland was utterly anonymous for 90 minutes....his lack of lateral movement was very surprising...for all City's possession and moving the ball from side to side they never actually really got the Man U defense moving around....for me it needed someone to be making moves across the edge of the box, dragging defenders with them, creating holes for others to run in to.
Disappointed that Man U have scuppered Newcastles European football adventure for next season but cant deny they thoroughly deserved it for an outstanding team performance.

He was. Glad Casimero chickened out because he would have been exposed.
AWB played well too.

I've never seen him look so happy after the game. I thought him and Shaw should probably get a room at one point

This is why people struggle with liking city. You’re only 137 fa charges away from gillingham in league 1 again

Couldn’t have put it better. How ever you dress it up. It was a Derby and they can go either way. If you don’t take your chances you will not win. Another strange choice by Pep to dip in Gvardiol when Doku should have been there. A deserved win by Utd boiled down to two poor defensive mistakes by Gvardiol and Walker. And yet Utd defensively were solid.

So Haaland never hit the bar and Alvarez never had two clear chances.

Was that Haalands only touch?So Haaland never hit the bar and Alvarez never had two clear chances.
Well, City did their part in trying to keep ETH in his job 
. It may be too late but the thought was there.

Ah well we can bring Dickov out of retirement and build again.
Can't say I've said anything about Utd today you should take offence at. On the day the better team won. I'd argue that's more because we played poorly than Utd played really well but they certainly performed at a level not seen most of the season.
Anyway.

But the shot that hit the bar was no more than a half chance snapshot. Alavrez was never properly in control of the ball on either of his chances...it was stuck under his feet and he couldnt get a clean shot away.So Haaland never hit the bar and Alvarez never had two clear chances.
As a neutral watching, at no time did I ever feel that City were going to open up Man U....plan B seems to be much the same as Plan A but with different players.

Good hoof forward wasn’t it ?
Cmon Amanda, I like your objectivity on here but you’re coming across as a bitter blue.
Just say Utd played better and deserved the win, without caveating it with “we were tired after playing under immense pressure ”, ”utd just hoofed it forward “ etc etc

To be fair to Amanda, she did say that, "On the day the better team won", probably through a gritted set of keys.
But she did say it.
