Dortmund are 2-0 down in the first half.

 

Not really that surprising considering it's away to Frankfurt after an away Champions League trip.

 

Oh fuck off. Palhinha should’ve been sent off for throwing a sick elbow at gross’ jaw in the first half then equalizes in the second half.

 

Love the Manchester derby. Not because it's always a good game or anything, but because almost every result is funny.

 

Haaland, Grealish, Silva, Foden, Alvarez all starting. If City are still boring today I won’t watch them for the rest of the season lol

 

Wonder who will lose worse, United or England in the cricket

 

It would defy physics if Maguire and Evans can keep Haaland and Alvarez quiet. Probably.

 

Doku coming of the bench is interesting, though that seems to be Pep's move in games he wants more "control" in.

 

This one always gets me

 

Salah with an inevitable goal contribution.

 

Sure looks like a foul and a penalty to me

 

Hojlund is holding him, but Rodri absolutely chucks himself to the floor.

 

I get it but that is absolutely never given.

 

Watch it not be given down the other end on the next corner or free kick.

 

Look forward to the 6 other penalties that will be given during the game based on the precedent now established.

Fine if you give it, but give it every time. Lovely flop by Rodri to sell it as well

 

Yup. Absolutely zero consistency. I mean, a Wolves player was dragged to the ground just yesterday...

 

There would be a penalty at every single corner or free kick if they’re giving that. We’ve had far more egregious ones not given this season, like Hojlund being dragged down at the Emirates not given. It’s ridiculous.

 

Amrabat and Foden getting booked for nothing and Grealish getting off scot free? I would say that’s bizarre, but it’s really not. It’s expected.

 

Oh lol Michael Oliver is the VAR ref? That makes sense seeing as he refused to send Kovacic off and refs in the UAE league. Weird that the Premier League lets him be involved with City games.

 

Yeah, don't watch that Palhinha elbow @bigmike was talking about if you're a United fan. You'll be seething for weeks that no foul was given!

 

Antony continuing to show his cool headedness and how he could never be guilty of violent behavior

 

Great result.

 

Brutal

 

Bas Dost is in a stable condition after collapsing in a game between NEC and AZ. Scary.
