"Man City toyed with them" 👀 | Keane and Micah REACT to Manchester derby

and we'll come to Manchester United's performance in in just a second but from City it felt very much mic as a case of it's what they do well I said before the game it's about being calm being composed and waiting for the right moment in the first half I thought United defended excellently well City found it hard to sort of break them down although they did have some chances and it's just about playing any normal game relaxing believe in your ability and in that second half the game's always going to open up man United defended so well but they can't do it for 90 minutes being that deep making them short runs to tie you out they grind you down and then in the end the quality just shun through it's it's two different teams you know it's one who are trying to find themselves people have talked about the structure and the style of play I thought today they did it in certain parts in the game but in the end Man City just blew them away with their quality yeah in terms of those criticisms that they have been for Manchester United one has been about the the structure first of all whether there there is a definable structure and and secondly about at times commitment from from Manchester United were either of those things do you think lacking particularly today I kind of don't want to be too hard on United today because I just thought Man City were brilliant man man city showed why they're why they're Champions that's 11 League losses now for for United what city do is they find out all your shortcomings and when you're out in that pitch and it's tough there is no hiding place it's like a boxer we've seen the box when you're in that ring there's no hiding place and it just War them wor them down United made a sub Johnny went off after about 69 minutes they had to change the back four and they just they were kind of hanging on there anyway and the stats at the end of the game um show you how strong and dominant this man city were and Man City even people like har and de bruy weren't that their very best but then you have people like foden who step up we spoke about it before the game and amazing brilliant player and United it still leaves that question mark over man united where do this man united team going particularly when it was the last 20 25 minutes they couldn't get near city city toyed with them but again I probably today I feel it's more credit to city than really being critical of this man united team because again man united we know their shortcomings but when you play Man City it's just there's no hiding place so man united will have to take their medicine today but again huge question marks again for this team and unfortunately for the manager that calmness and belief that you talked about from Manchester city is based on evidence that's 21 points they've taken now from losing positions this season they know that they can finish a game strongly yeah I think they believe in their their ability you see the quality players like Roy said I don't think de bruyne was at his very best today and Harland too but you've still got Bernardo Silva you've still got foden you still got Stones going into to pockets for when man united were trying to to press yes and I think the big difference to me today was man City's bench if you look at who they could introduce on the pitch and then who Man United and yes we all want to see youngsters doing doing very well but man city can bring on a World Cup winner and he's involved within the goal and that is just the different at the moment I think I agree with Roy it's not a time to be very critical of of of man united today because I did see good signs of what they was trying to do but in the end they just not got the quality needed for this level in terms of man I that's that's 11 League games they've lost you know that's that's one scary stat when you considering you look at what United are to give up so many goals and defeats we spoke last week it was the Fulham game they lacked a bit of energy they lacked they had that but the last 20 25 minutes city were just again men V boys at the end and they were just hanging in there and they were making mistakes and again blad's coming off the bench not quite getting up to speed City's players coming on it coming on and make a difference giving them energy and towards the end then you're thinking it could be four or five have to take [Music] [Music] [Applause] it
