    One shot on target at home in the derby, it's not great is it, especially when you see the attacking talent they have!

    So come Monday Ole will be gone and Howe announced as his replacement, 5 minutes later the Howe deal is off as Utd couldn't agree a deal for his backroom staff!

    The Manchester derby was a really bad advert for the epl. Uninspired and scrappy.

    Sometimes it takes 2 teams to make a good game, only one team could be arsed today.

    We had zero shots on target at home in that first game against the huns last season. The stuff of nightmares.

    Granted, ManU hardly turned up but ManC were far from sparkling. Apart from the occasional midfield battle there was little to write home about.

    One of the most one sided games I can remember.

    Dundee and St Mirren gave us tougher games.

    Yeah I think City had a couple more gears in them though, they did what they had to do today and not much more.
    The game was just too easy for them.

    This might sound stupid, but has Ronaldo actually made United better? They're very lazy upfront. No pressure.

    Utd are a group of individuals not a team, it's been clear for a long time that OGS is way out of his depth, if city played with a dedicated striker today it would've been the same as the Liverpool score or even worse.

    No.

    Similar to Juve. The whole team has to adapt to him.

    I actually watched him during the game and a lot of the time he was making the runs but the midfield just never seen him or didn't fancy the pass.
    He looked frustrated as * a lot of the time, he is making them look better than they are, he has saved them more than once this season.

    Can't put my finger on it other then the team isn't being coached properly, they have some real talent going forward but just are utilising it properly, love him or hate him, get the ball to Ronaldo and he will score goals and make things happen!

    This really isn't the same as when he was at Juve, he plays as a striker and they only have to get the ball to him, I don't see how the whole team has to adapt to getting the ball to a striker.

    Howe to Newcastle deal has run into problems over back room staff. Sounds familiar.
    Our board took some amount of stick over this. A lot of it probably justified but Howe is clearly a difficult character to deal with.
    Edit- just noticed this is being discussed in another thread.
