5 conclusion of the Manchester derby
Manchester City threatened to humiliate Manchester United after quick lead with 2: 0 at "Old Trafford" with goals of de Broglie and Iheanacho, but an error of Claudio Bravo Reds returned to the game. 18-year-old Rashford reinforce the attack on Mourinho after the break, but his goal for 2: 2 was canceled for offside Ibrahimovic. Debutant Bravo was lucky that did not make the penalty spot, but de Broglie then dropped to rise to 3: 1.
Manchester derby on Saturday definitely meet the high expectations. Adding to them again delighted to see one another Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiola - the show was worth all indicators. Special were some variations in composition and surprisingly threw in the battle Lingard and Mhitaryan but his tactical decision was a mistake. Ultimately United lost the first points of the season, and citizens still 100 percent asset after 4 rounds.
1. City with plenty of options in attack
The absence of top scorer as Sergio Aguero was bound to be the main concern of Guardiola. But without Argentine people have shown that they have a lot of options up front. The inclusion of Iheanacho as a starter was a brilliant decision and youngster repay Manager goal and an assist. Do your job and was replaced after the break for tactical reasons. So City proved that it is not dependent on Aguero.
2. Special fucked up
Already in the middle of the first half (24 minutes) Mourinho admitted he messed up. So send Marcial Mata and Rashford (and later Herrera) to heat. Apparent was that his tactical quirk is not received. The team needed a change. Lingard and Mhitaryan who treat injuries seemed quite poorly on the field. Rashford came after the break and this is good for the home side, but they failed to reach the point.
3. de Broglie - rejected by Jose, but star in City
Special Court that de Broglie is not good enough, and allowed him to leave Chelsea, but on Saturday must have regretted their attitude towards the Belgian international. De Broglie scored the first goal of the match and took part in the second. He was among the best players on the pitch. De Broglie get too much freedom of action and did not forget to punish the lack of concentration in defense of the hosts.
4. This time Bailey and Blind failed
Eric Bailey and Daley Blind started the season well as a pair of central defenders but had derby day which will surely want to forget quickly. Guilty of first goal and alarm flashed that Mourinho will have to seek other options for the central zone defense.
5. Claudio Bravo failed to withstand the pressure
Normal was the performances of Claudio Bravo to be under scrutiny after the categorical refusal of Guardiola to work with Joe Hart. The truth is that Bravo is a great goalkeeper, but could not resist tension. Chilean can be happy that Klatanbarg not evict him and did not give a penalty for the offense against Rooney.
