F*ck me sideways.

De Gea had a bit of a shocker today.

Not really his fault when the defence was so woeful.

Probably the worst Man Utd performance I've ever seen. Genuinely awful. No creativity from midfield in the 1st half, which has been a serious problem since Cleverley's injury; Evans' foul was utterly stupid and the organisation in the 2nd half was non-existent.

This was a necessary wake up call though. Utd have been scraping through games recently and it was only a matter of time before they were exposed. How much can Utd really rely on Cleverley? Surely this shows that they really should've signed a central midfielder in the summer.

True but the reason it was 6 and not less were some poor keeping decisions. Off the top of my head Silva nutmegged him and his attempt for Dzeko's last was awful.

Yeah I think he should have rushed out for Dzeko's goal. But then again, the defence literally stood watching as City scored their 4th. I don't think he was the biggest problem for Utd though.

All true man. The mid-field is very soft, even you get a fit Cleverley back. Not getting Sneijder is proving to be a big issue now for sure.

But Man City have throughly announced themselves on Europe now with this performance, if they can build on this performance they could be Barcelona's biggest headache in the Champions League as well (presuming they come out of their tough CL group also).

I hope Capello say Richard's performance as right-back how he kept up with the speed on Young virtually all game. Micah can do more than today performance to prove he is the best RB in ENG although other quality options like Walker and Kelly are around.

I see that Man City, who have the same number of votes in the poll as Everton, are now bookies favourites for the title...
