Disappointing to say the least. So long as we lift the trophy I couldn’t give a sh!t. However, still a way to go. C’MON CITY.

[Wacky Racer]

No complaints, the better team won.

Our passing was incredibly sloppy early in the game.

[Mariosbt]

KDB no where near his best. Would have liked to see Bernado on. They should know better than to have any contact with a United player in the box.

Definitely didn't expect that. Always need City to be off to beat them along with playing well and luckily (for us) that happened.

Yeah, you'd imagine being a professional footballer they'd know if you foul a player in the box it's a pen.

hope 90 mins for KdB gets him back to speed quickly. so many misplaced passes from him again.

fair play, manyoo were well up for the game today and city looked sluggish. no great quality on show from either team, but desire won out. you know it's not your day when fred is taking the piss!

A fit Sergio still not in the starting 11.
Is Pep managing his return for later in the season or is he on his way out at the end of the season?

There's talk of extending his contract for another season, but (imo) he is too injury prone now.

What a fantastic buy he has been though.

If Aguero does leave (sad as I've always liked him), I hope Walker goes too.

So many sloppy moments and backward passes, it's untrue. Tonight's Saints goal came from an error from him; I shudder when I think of him playing for England in the Euros this summer.

I can start watching now i might have missed 7 goals but (apparently) my daughters virtual parents evening was more important.

Really? Not the greatest of full backs but his pace and versatility is vital when you've got a long season or are picking up injuries etc.

5-2. nailed on pen turned down, torres missed a sitter, and they had chances too. not seen a city game like that for a while.

walker is more of an athlete than a footballer. his ability to recover gives us a safety net, but some of his touch and decision making are lacking.

No arguments about his versatility, he can be crap in more than one position....

Might be a little harsh on him but I think City could do better especially given the budget they are working to.

Don’t forget his GK abilities

[stuartmmcfc]

To be fair, Walkers stats were better than Bravos. He actually made a save.

He never let one in. Won’t be many keepers played for City that didn’t let a goal past them!

I don’t really have a problem with Walker at Right Back.

It’s not too long ago City fans wanted shut of Stonsey... how things change. Jesus bringing Martial down is of more concern! F*cking stupid & clumsy. There were 2 defenders between Martial and the goal. You just KNOW, any contact... they go down. I think he grazed his sock with his bootlace.

Which is why no.9s should never go anywhere near their own penalty area

Correct. If Aguero never came further back than the halfway line I’d be happy. Save your energy for what you do best.

We needed Walker's energy and passion in the derby - we were too flat, especially without at least one of Foden or Bernardo.
