City are streets ahead of everyone else, then Spurs, then us and Chelsea with Liverpool and Arsenal bringing up the rear; but on any given week anyone outside of City could beat each other, but in order for us to get that win we daren’t go toe to toe with any of them or we’ll get stuffed. That’s simply not good enough. We were talked up as favourites after three games, but we’re not even close. |

We had a horrendous squad in terms of quality going into the summer. Adding one midfielder, good though he is and Lukaku wasn't going to rectify that, and meant that we were always going to be vulnerable to an injury to one of our few good players like Pogba. So many of our players are like c**kroaches, surviving summer after summer |

Since then Guardiola has signed 14 players Jose has signed 5. 6 if you include Zlatan. |

The worrying thing is they have plenty of areas for improvement, too. United's squad is one of the strongest in the league. But in terms of being where we really want to be, which is where we were ten years ago, we are miles off. Personally out of the side that started yesterday, De Gea and Rashford are the only ones I'm arsed about. |

Needed at United as well. Players like Smalling, Hererra, Lingard - you know the rest. We are almost grateful when they give a good performance, when it should be standard. |

City have conceded 2 goals every time i've watched them play this season. But they usually score 4 up the other end. It's the fact they can rotate top quality players every week and they all are good enough, young enough and mobile enough to execute Guardiola's extremely intense playing style every week. Quote:
You saw what happens yesterday when this United team tries to out-football a top 5 team away from home. It was a horror show. To quote neville our midfield got 'ambushed' by Chelsea's. They ran all over them. When your midfielders aren't good enough to play through, that's what you get reduced to. |
