KDB has been terrible. Gundo fits City well before KDB back from injury. They can’t pair well.

Sterling, de bruyne and jesus shouldn’t have started. Why the hell would you put Bernardo Silva and foden on the bench?

Playing Sterling against Utd is literally like playing with 10 men. Foden beat AWB more times in 15mins than Sterling managed in 6-7 games🤦🏽♂️

Matches like this explain why Man City does not achieve the Champions League under Guardiola, they raised the team badly. He prefers to have Jesus who never defines and by his side he puts Sterling who is just as indecisive. On the bench Agüero, Foden and Bernardo.

If ever our unbeaten streak was gonna come to an end (and it kills me to say it) it was going to happen today simply due to the rivalry…we didn’t play our best at all, let’s just hope we can pick ourselves up and continue with the job in hand 💙💙💙
