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 surprised everyone by making a comeback in just 3 minutes, from the beginning of the match Manchester City was dominating the game and that made many people think that Manchester United would lose the match, even me I didn't expect Manchester United to win the match because of the way the match is going but at the end of the game Manchester United surprise us by showing a good performance by scoring two goals in just 3 minutes.
Manchester City's problem is not just about Rodri, I think Manchester City players are all weak because they don't know how to defend, Manchester City has only won one game out of 11 games, if Manchester City sacks Pep Guardiola I won't surprised because the defeat is too much and Manchester City is even about to lose a spot of qualify to Champions League next season, Ruben Amorim defeat Pep Guardiola in Champion League and Premier League and he because the only coach that defeat Pep Guardiola in the League and Champions League.
This defeat is very painful for Manchester City, because victory was in sight, but Man City failed to maintain their lead.
I thought Man City would return to their best performance because they managed to stop their losing streak, when they won big against Nottingham Forest. However, it turned out to be just luck, they had to draw against Crystal Palace and lose narrowly against Man United.
And you are right, that this is not just about Rodri. The downsizing carried out by Pep Guardiola before facing the 2024/25 season is the cause of all the problems experienced by City today. At the beginning of the season, Man City did appear impressive, they continued to perch at the top, but no one knew that a storm of injuries would occur, and Man City did not have substitute players who were on par with the key players.
