the same as when madrid got spanked 5-0 by barca..
terrible scoreline.. not takin advantage of our eraly dominance cost us and the evans sending off jus made it all too easy for city (i doubt he'll be playing again for a while).. but even so 6-1 is inexcusable the defending was atrocious and they walked through us with ease.. a sad day but i still see us winning the league
I don't believe we would have been thrashed if we still had 11 men, it was pretty even and I didn't really see that changing much although City were playing with more composure and discipline than us. Hopefully SAF's eyes will be opened by just how much a liability Evans, Anderson and Fletcher are. Fletcher failed to mark Silva all of the 1st half and when Evans was sent off Anderson should of come off straight away because he is lazy as hell, both goals after the sending off were direct results of Andersons laziness in not marking or chasing Silva.
I disagree that city would have beaten united like that with 11 men.
That is just what happens when you throw caution to the wind and attack with ten men. 3-1 down was containable, but the goal gave fresh hope for a revival and so everyone was thrown forward. No coincidence they score 3 in the last 3 minutes when ALL of them were unnecessary. Manchester United simply do not sit back at home and rather than accept a 2-0 or 3-1 loss, and sit deep and defend like any other team of quitters, it turned out as it did.
This is often why when Man Utd do collapse, they collapse massively just like the 1-4 defeat to liverpool 2 years ago too.
First half it was tight, United had the possession but the goal was Evans' fault, the red just finished the contest. Evans is Mr liability once again- Vidic could have made all the difference. A red so early into the second half put it beyond United really.
A day to forget, but when Liverpool crushed United at home last season and the gloating of this shift or massive change etc carried on all i said was that it wouldn't matter so much if the title was won. The only way to redeem that is to take the title again to show that it was a one off and they just took the advantage on the day. Lots of football yet to play this season.....
I have to say in the 1st half united were the better team going forward but did not get any shots off yest city got one chance and scored the goal. Going into the 2nd half i though united would of come out and startrd strong but how i was wrong evans yet again letting his side down no need to pull him back and as soon as that happened i felt city would take the 3 points.
We often get a game like this in a season and it wakes the team up and they push forward from there. Its still early in the season and 5points is not alot to make up. United have played all the top 5 sides now city liverpool spers Chelsea and arsenal all have to play each other now so its not out of reach by any means for united but we need to look at out midfield. To me stick rooney in there and put herndez and welbeck up top with nani and young on the wing and park next to rooney as he is a worker. Then back 4 speaks for its self but i now think its time for saf to drop evans and i think he should of gane in the summer and kept big john.
I will give it to city today they were the better team on the day but there is along way to go before the end of tbe season.
6 - 1 is a massive score on a high end game, this sunday was full of drama chelsea were two men down against QPR (lot of tension during that match) todays highlights are gonna be enjoyable.
Wow 6-1. Hope people start really considering us Contenders now. SuperMario sets bathroom on fire one day, knocks in two in the Derby.....That's My Balotelli!!!!
man city played us of the park, united have to many players who arent good enough, i mean anderson is just plain shite and evans? well you all saw for yourselves
id rather play jones and smalling at the back than evans and rio anyday of the week , and welbeck doesnt do anything on the ball and fletcher just seems to disappear in the big games other than the goal he was nowhere to be seen
dont be stupid.. they were all good enuff a few games ago when we were smashing every1.. we need some more midfielders as we have no cover or variety but they are all quality..minus carrick. rio and vidic are still our best cb pairing and jones/smalling should be starting ahead of evans as cb cover..
WOW.. Blaming your own fuckn players.. first 6 matches.. they are awesome, they are fantastic, they are out of this world and now suddenly.. Anderson's not good, Rio's old, Fletcher is shit.
Im sorry but ando's been one of our best players this season... go away you tools blaming him. evans cost us big time as if he just let him through 2 0 is recoverable but a man sent off isn't...
Hahahahaha ROFL - Smacked at your own ground where your suppose to do well at , trashed the score line 6-1 - Thanks Johnny Evans , Chelsea going to take advantge of the 2nd spot and catch up to city ;) - " Why Always Me " Super Mariooooooo United Fans? Anyone ? Embarrassing just like what Chelsea did few years ago with Mourinho -
" In Sir in Ferguson Alex We Trust , in United We Stand "
I refuse to believe that, I refuse to believe a team can just buy glory like the way City are doing, they only started outplaying us when Evans got sent off. I despise them, heck I'd rather see Liverpool win the league than this lot.
United been buying the league for years now too nearly there entire team today have been bought! The top 10 earners in the last 5 years list 4 utd players. So you can refuse to believe what you want but the fact is cash is whats needed for prizes its also why Arsenal are falling apart.
Have a look at your goalscorers today and tell me how much their worth, what City are doing is nothing like the way United have EARNED their success and money over decades.
'the fact is cash is whats needed for prizes' Thats never used to be the case until City got unlimited money from an arab sugar daddy now every player seems to be worth £40m.
"I refuse to believe a team can just buy glory like the way City are doing"
That sh*tty excuse doesnt work anymore . They used to rely upon money only , but now got some proper strategy , tactics and team spirit and that's making a world of difference compared to 2 years ago .
Guys like you are ridiculous , most big teams of every league burns money to get through . Were you also among those claimed Chelsea only succeeded through money ?
What team has burned money like City? Seriously who? The last team that did that was Chelsea and got their glory thanks to it, City are doing the exact same.
And no shit City are playing well with their football, its cos their team is filled £30m superstars, they've never played like that in their history. When you spend £300m on a team, obviously they are going to eventually play well.
When you spend half a billion pounds on your side, you are bound to start winning trophies. Chelsea spent less and won the league 3 times, the FA cup a bunch of times and nearly the european cup.
It was always inevitable that City would start to come good- if they didn't- they would just spend more.
They will win the league, i am unsure if it will be this season, but if not, probably next season. Sooner rather than later.
However all this talk of a shift in power is premature. Same thing was said about Chelsea, and in the 8 years since then, Man Utd have won the league 4 times to Chelsea's 3....Won the European cup, and reached 2 more finals.
City have work to do yet, and it remains to be seen if they will last the distance and stay one of the top sides, if the owners don't lose interest, if the financial rules don;t catch them out etc etc....
Its one game. Proof will be in how they deal with being on top for a while. They not been there before. We are experenced and we know what it takes to get back up. Only a matter of time before city folds. Anyways come the away game we will do the same to them.
"typical mu fans. when they win they laugh at the other team so loud that we actually hate them. when they lost, they blame their own player, still no respect to the other team!
Am a United fan but before this game even took place I knew City was going to win, in our last 3 games including the CL games, we've been in terrible forms.
IMHO City going to win the PL Grats on the win CITY!
If anything, he would be a Liverpool player now. Him and David Villa were so close in joining Benitez's Liverpool, but our old ***** owners were selfish scums
A bad day all round for United. While I'm willing to admit that we were totally outclassed by the better team, all of the ABUs coming out of the woodwork are just embarrassing themselves.
some of you are clearly high most teams burn money for the big players WRONG the best team on the world have spent practically nothing (BARCA) messi costed nothing same with xavi, iniesta, pedro, busquets all brought up from academy so dont give me this you have to burn money to buy success all them are home grown players and slice thru any team
city have a amazing XI but a average bench they best player on the bench was dzeko when we had hernandez, berbatov, park
remember its a marathon not a sprint and city have sprinted past everyone and COULD tire out near the end
you still need to go to anfield, stoke, chelsea etc the tough grounds yet
middle of the week you struggled vs villareal and lost to bayern, city will struggle as they have more games than they are used too with champs league come back when you are still top after february and after champs league games
yes it was a bad day football is a funny game didn't you draw against fulham when man u beat them? alot more points to be dropped by both teams yet
once silva goes you aka injured city have nothing he is the man of the moment and what makes city tick
Lets be honest, Barca have spent big ie Ibrahimovich, Alexis Sanchez, David Villa to name a few. Mind you it's more progressive spending when needed like Manchester United.
oh typical mu fans. when they win they laugh at the other team so loud that we actually hate them. when they lost, they blame their own player, still no respect to the other team!
Been telling United fans all season that their defence is a shambles and that they are due a big defeat soon. Well, there it is. They should have been beaten by Liverpool and Norwich, and even possibly by Chelsea if those teams had have taken their chances. Just like Rooney, United are a very overrated side. There will be more defeats to come after this.
Fergie's darkest day. The midfield just isnt good enough. I hope he sees that now (though that still doesnt explain conceding 6 goals).
great scoreline lol
Bring on 1-6 Jokes!!
Wow 6-1. Hope people start really considering us Contenders now. SuperMario sets bathroom on fire one day, knocks in two in the Derby.....That's My Balotelli!!!!
