As a Man Utd fan i would say watching it first time round i thought it was a penalty. Watching a dozen replays you can see it's 1 foot of the area. Penalty was bloody well taken though. Tevez is still a legend in my eyes. Incredible work rate, used to love watching Rooney and Tevez play together.
Good game to watch as a neutral.
United look poor at the back, meaning the midfield don't look comfortable pressing forward, City don't look that strong in my opinion, rode their luck at times, but did a job, Given was superb.
Rooney looked very good, I thought a few United players, Giggs especially were getting frustrated, Owen made a few lovely runs when he came on but no-one tried to pick him out, just rewound it back to check.
Bellamy and Tevez did well.

Exactly, there was no communication between Brown and Evans. They kept going for the same ball. Rafael lost confidence after his stupid challenge. The one thing that is bugging me at United at the moment is the fact that we don't have an out and out stiker that is doing is job. Berba should be doing this for us but for some reason can't. Ruud's role up front is sorely missed. If we lose Rooney we're done.

Fair result I think despite the dodgy penalty as City did make more of it going forward overall and United just didn't make early possesion count.
By the way, anyone know where the French winger that United bought at the start of the season has gone? Seemed to be coming along nicely and then vanished, is he injured?
