I think when you play with Silva and de Bruyne in the midfield with 3 more forwards, and in the biggest rival's stadium, you earned the right to do this kind of substitution xD

City played well and probably deserved to win but they did have some luck on their end with those two horrible defensive mistakes. And Lukaku could have equalized but chose to shoot at the keeper of all places. Frustrating!

Earned the right to park the bus? Hmm im confused. Sane winger, DeBruyne CAM, Silva, CAM, Sterling winger? Yanited played 3 strikers too for whole game why they not credit lol. He took only striker off for a centre back xD if Mourinho did that everyone would have said he comes the bus!

The only issue i have with that game is Lukaku is utter trash and thank the heavens he didn't come to Chelsea and Ederson save from Mata was very good.

United did nothing during the first half to try and score, it was all City. When you're winning 2-1 with 30+ minutes left and your CB got injured (I suppose that's why Kompany got replaced), yeah you earned it. Also after that, they still created more chances than United. What a nice bus xD More like Speed's one.

Lukaku is too slow for this counter attacking style Mou has been trying for some while now. Without Pogba and Miki they are actually forced into it and they only have brute strikers so can't capitalise.

I dont remember any serious Bus parking from City that game. Uniteds strikers didnt do much striking or did I miss that part. Evidenced by the fact that the man who fucked up the defending was a striker.

But damn, Mou went hardcore Salty bitch mode today for reals after the game. The Special Whine.

Mou has already been on hardcore salty bitch mode whenever we lose a game that's unsurprising. I don't mind the loss to be honest, I was half expecting us to the slaughtered. The lack of creative players (i.e Pogba) hurts us a lot as we then resort to WB overlapping and making hopeful crosses. Anyway I'll be happy as long as we make top 4 this season, and semi in CL.

Allegedly city players were celebrating to loudly for Mourinhos sensibilities, when he came to bitch he was squirted with water and milk and then a melee ensued in which Lukaku threw a full water bottle into Artetas face.
Unclear whether United fans will be happy with Lukaku getting away with no ban after this or not.

Yeah he had tough job, three penalties and all were correct.
Köln went up 3-0 after 35 minutes and then proceeded to collapse including 3-3 in the 90th and 3-4 in the 96th.

that game was so fucking sad, you can't even blame the team cause they're working their asses off. you can feel the insecurity in everything they do and it certainly doesn't help that close to a full squad of potential starting players are injured. 19/20 y.o.-players like özcan and guirassy have to take responsibility when they were just thrown in once every few matches last season
its so disheartening that we have half a season left when we're going down with certainty

e: also it's a fucking joke that we were the best german team in el (not like that means much) with twice as many points as we have after 15 games in bundesliga...

When Vermaelen plays some matches in a row, he is really a great defender. It is a shame that he chained so much injuries in his career

When he went to barca i was like yeah great signing a ball playing centre half perfect for Barca, but as you say guy is made of glass and just can't stay fit. Shame as he could have been a great.
