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.
Perhaps it remained to be seen whether Manchester City would be defeated by Manchester United. Manchester City's performance against Manchester United made me think that Manchester City may have lost their way and will not be able to return to their usual form this season. A few days ago, Manchester United was regularly defeated by smaller teams in the Premier League and other leagues. Manchester United, the best team in the Premier League, defeated Manchester City in this match. On the one hand, this win is an inspiration for Manchester United, on the other hand, for Manchester City, a defeat in this match will cause a lot of criticism and will cause a bad effect on the team. I don't know when Manchester City will return to their usual form after performing so badly.
How Pep guardiola hasn't been able get his Acts together up till now still amazes me, for a defending champion who has consistently held that position for consecutive four seasons, now going for a losing spree for this long is really unbelievable. Watching the match yesterday against United, I think it's safe to say Pep guardiola has not yet been able to discover what exactly is affecting his teams overall performance in the last two months. He still believes the same tactics and pattern of play will eventually bring back his dominating style of play. Manchester united really didn't do much, they just had to go to Etihad and not come back Empty hand.
