Well taken goals by Man utd, the forward players are having a good game. In terms of the officiating i think Man City have every right to appeal Kompany's red card and i have to agree with the commentators i don't even think it was a foul.

Anyway, Mancini has to replace Nasri and Kolarov if he wants to get anything from this game.

City were ROBBED by the referee! I will say this again, as I had said it before, the refereeing this season has been ATROCIOUS!

Anyway, City played their hearts out! Kudos! Kudos! Kudos! Mancini made the right changes in the second half. But IMHO, he should have taken Nasri off instead of Silva.

Men of the match: De Jong and Milner. Outstanding. Jones and Lindegaard are over-rated. And should Scholes and Giggs still be playing at 37 years of age?

Can we have another match like this in the Europa League? Over two legs? That would be brilliant. smile

Robbed? How now? Weren't United denied a penalty when Kolarov fouled Valencia in the box? Wasn't it a two-footed tackle from Kompany which Nani evaded? I know many haters wanted United beaten, but admit, it was a thrilling game.

The only thing that made this game interesting was Man City's attempted come back otherwise ref aliharibu game. Kompany won the ball and he didn't catch Nani because he managed to avoid the tackle, nothing wrong with that. In football hakuna "what if", Nani didnt even claim anything....we've seen worse tackles getting away with a yellow card or warning.

@Jus....true the ref was pathetic because he also denied City a penalty after Jones clearly handled the ball. Good goals by Man Utd but very poor officiating. Btw isnt this the same ref who cost Spurs points against Stoke!

@Taz, two footed challenge (read FIFA Law 12 smile ), you have to give it to Nani for avoiding the tackle. But it showed that both Kompany's feet left the ground before the tackle. About Jones, well, there's ball-to-hand.

But again, all these depend on the which side you lean on. There's someone who said United showed their class in keeping possession. I know many will argue, but, we are still the team to beat.
