Any tunnel shenanigans?

My sympathy is lacking. The title is in the bag for them. I wonder how many of those fans were around when City were terrible.

At least in the old days we expected to lose. What a crazy game

...his finishing was woeful, but let’s not forget that very few players could continually get on the end of chances like him. It would be easy for him to stay out wide and set up assists as he did for City’s 2nd goal but he’s like a centre forward winger. He gets stick, but he’s scored 18 goals (I think). I’d love him in my side. Imagine Bolasie getting on the end of things like he does.

...one would require a pretty vivid imagination...

..I am, City have been fabulous. I just know the Reds fans will be basking in beating them in the league so it’s good that United have usurped that. Clutching at straws, but had City won and done a lap of honour etc, I think it takes the edge off Tuesday. It’s now a massive test of character for them.

Disagree there, it's now 2 defeats on the bounce and pep will ask his players to rise and show what they are made of. Pep has just handed Liverpool his tactics for the next match. City will come out from the kick off and go all out attack with 10 men playing a high line. Liverpool will sit back and try and get them on the counter.

Had city won today I think he would of taken a different approach in taking the chances as they come and then for the last 30 mins peppering there goal if they needed to.

Last on Match of the day. Probably the first time a Merseyside Derby has been on last.

Gutted about that. Too many missed chances in the first half. Two blatant pens not given and their winner was from a free kick that wasn't a foul and was offside.
Worst refereeing performance I've seen this season

Hmm, please don't discuss Atkinson and Derby games with us. The FA needs to take a long hard look at the standard of referring in the prem after this season. I hope to god none of them being at the world cup is the wake up call they need. I think the snub is harsh on Michael Oliver, but not the rest.

Atkinson is an utter clown, he should never ever be given top games, he's always out of his depth. We have refs like Madley, mason, Mike Dean amongst others, week after week they get games in the prem and whenever they ref our games I notice how crap they are. Don't watch any other games so they're probably just as bad.

Can't wait for VAR, I don't give a fudge how long it takes, you guys should be 2-1 down in the "champions" league, not 3-0, technology is a massive difference.

That last Stoke chance was pure Ev in the final third that.

Not really sure if VAR will help much. I think corruption rather than incompetence is the problem. We've been on the end of some shocking decisions this season and the fact that we've been so good has meant they've gone under the radar.

Kane was a bit dishonest trying to claim that second goal as his. He needs to set a better example than this.
