Well done United and congrats, that was a deserved win. Kept your shape brilliantly and I thought Dalot in particular was superb. We definitely helped you a bit with the first goal but the second was a lovely move and finish.
For us, both Pep and the players had an off day, didn’t look at the races at all until Doku came on. That starting lineup looked like Pep giving into sentiment a bit and starting a couple purely because they didn’t start against West Ham. Was the wrong game plan too though and the damage was done before we changed it.
Doesn’t happen often though and don’t feel particular down given what this group has achieved over the last couple of seasons. I doubt we lose that game if we didn’t win the title last week, but just shows how hard winning multiple trophies, particularly on the bounce, is.
All the trophies shared in the north west. The London clubs need to step up
Congrats!

City fans - how annoyed were you when your defenders kept blasting long range shots over the bar?

Since it was a long range shot from a defender that effectively won us one of our titles (I admit I shouted dont shoot Vinny) not very annoyed. Some go in. Or to put it differently much the same annoyed as any fan when a player puts a long range 'shot' in the car park. You are aware that we are the divisions top scorers?

I only remember 2 shots from defenders going over the bar.
Hardly something to dwell on considering we've scored to most goals this season, United have conceded the most shots and ended with a negative Goal Difference.

Walker went close twice. Akanji blazed one over that was clearly the wrong decision at that moment though

Man Utd are coming for Man City next season.😂
The injuries ruined our season as we saw how good Martinez and Varane together were who barely played a game together all season.

United played well and deserved the win. ETH got the tactics right, and there were some great individual performances. City were slow to start and exhibited some very familiar weaknesses. At least we played up in the second half and showed some fight. Overall it makes me wonder about ETH. He's had a dreadful season, but is there actually a decent manager in there somewhere? United does seem to be the graveyard of managerial reputations.

Think he’s decent but not for United.

ETH is a great manager in terms of attack. Just not a good one for defence but having said that injuries were key to our season. Last year we kept a lot of clean sheets with fewer injuries in defence.

Martinez played 45 games first season and just 14 this season who was our best defender last year.

United did exactly what they had to do, and did it really well. City in the first half were really lethargic, which I think they often are when Kovacic plays. The first half was exactly what United needed and City just didn't respond. Kov and Nunes are really not convincing for me, and it wouldn't surprise me if Grealish wants a move now he has clearly fallen down the pecking order and has Bobb sitting on the bench as the coming man.
Congrats to United, they played really well and defended well when under the cosh in the second half.
