No it wasn't a foul. HTH.

Not the best angle but Walker kicks Rashford's leg

Antony is combining on. This will win United the game I'm sure......

What sort of weirdo celebrates City scoring?

Someone who doesn't want Liverpool to win the title.

I want Arsenal personally, but there's a fragility that won't guarantee they do it.

I hate Liverpool as much as the next person but I'd rather they won the league. Its bad for domestic football to have the same winner for years on end.

Any other year I'd agree but if they won the league with Klopp going they would be unbearable.

Nice of United to to give Haaland a goal just to let us know he was on the pitch.

[WestYorksRoyal]

Is this the part of the season where City relentlessly swat aside all in their path?

LOL, yeah, I switched off after that. Amrabat is shit

[URZZZZ]

Rashford is an embarrassment

Very good strike granted, but he hasn’t done a single thing right all afternoon other than that. You simply cannot carry passengers at this level and is the exact reason why United will never challenge right at the top with wasters like him in the side

Yes.

They do look a little more vulnerable to the counter attack. I think Arsenal or Liverpool would have done them today.

A lot of United fans feel the same. Go back and check my posts from 2-3 years ago. I felt like I'd got it wrong last season when he bagged 30+ goals but even then he did nothing else

You look at what Guardiola demands of obscenely talented players and that's the difference. Simply having the ability to hit a worldie isn't enough at that level. Had Rashford broken through in the Fergie era, he'd have either become a beast of a player under his tutelage or been sold abroad.

More like Norwich with Nicki Butt.

I can see Southgate now thinking....."It looks like I have found a backup in Foden for Jordan Henderson.....And Rashfords strike means Ollie Wadkins won't be required for the Euros"

Especially when said winner apparently doesn't seem to have been financially impressing the PL down the years...

This. No guarantee Liverpool will next week though. A Liverpool win would make it really interesting. We'd have a proper 'race' with City (and Arsenal) trying to cling on to Liverpool's coattails rather than the other way around, and the inevitability that City have just enough.

Tbf all three sides have stepped it up/found ways to win. Arsenal have won their last six. Liverpool have won eight of their last nine (with a defeat to Arsenal in the middle). City are unbeaten in 11, winning nine of them.

Liverpool still the only team to pass 90 points in a top tier season and not win the title. And they've done it twice. An outside chance someone does it again this time.

[Sanguine]

I like Onana. He's a shithouse.

This. He's got a bit of the Barthez about him.

Agreed

There was a cross in (around the 30th minute) which United cleared to the edge of their box. De Bruyne bust a gut to reach the loose ball, Rashford ambled towards it

Aside from respective talents, there’s your difference, the mentality is light years apart. Talent is immaterial at the highest level to an extent if the application doesn’t match
