I was surprised when Manchester United came from one goal down to win Manchester City in the much anticipated Manchester derby. Manchester United took advantage of City’s lack of composure to win the game. It was a good game for Ruben Amorim and his men. Congratulations to Amorim as he becomes the first manager since Ferguson to win his first Manchester derby.
Manchester United deserved to win. It's now eleven games with one win, two draws and eight defeats for Manchester City under Pep Guardiola this season. This is so uncommon of Manchester City playing games without the intention to win. Of course, intention alone can not win game but from the way they play we can identify the level and determination they are playing with. I can't remember the last time City play a match with so much relaxation with just a one goal lead.
Aside from the players unseriousness, Pep should be blamed for this defeat with his unnecessary subs. One or two times errors might be considered a mistake but it is not longer a mistake when it becomes a regular routine. Against Fevenood Pep did the same thing making unnecessary changes and he repeat the same thing yesterday. The game was actually going fine but he killed the game with subs. Removing Doku automatically cealed their defeat. The coach is killing the game with unnecessary substitution and the players are killing it with sloppy and sluggish style of play.
