In today's debate, we try to find wich player or manager you consider most at fault for the results of the Manchester Derby.

Is it Mhikitaryan, Lingard, Mourinho, Zlatan, De Bruyne, Ineahacho, Pep?

You chose, try to convince me and any other neutral out there of the identity of the most responsable person for the results.

May the debate begin!

Mourinho. Tactics were the reason United went down in the first half.

The clown man city had in goal. United were dead but bravo decided to get them and their fans back in the game what the hell was he doing the whole match?

idk why everyone is hating on bravo. to concede only one goal, albeit with a lot of mistakes, in a country you've never played in, with players you've never played, in one of the biggest rivalries in the world, against some excellent players, is pretty impressive to me. he made a lot of mistakes, but can you blame him? he needs time to learn his defence and the league.

^ you basically listed down everything he did and said you don't know why people are hating on him lmao... anw "concede only one goal" the goal was basically out of nothing utd got a free goal and as i said before utd were dead in the match the only time they had chances were when bravo was doing his thing.

my point was that he was shit, yes, but understandably. mignolet had a better game than him and thats saying something. he needs time to gel with the team.

btw, the question posed by emo was "which player or manager you consider most at fault for the results of the Manchester Derby?" seeing as how city won the game, despite bravo being at fault for the goal they conceded as well as a lot of chances, bravo didnt impact the end result of the game.

Has to be Mourinho to be honest.

Let's start with the defence.

Shaw at LB is a sure pick so despite he wasn't at his best yesterday, I'll leave him alone.

But the centre-back pairing was awful at the derby. Bailly got tested finally and he failed. I said he was overpriced and not a top class player but I seemed to be proven wrong when Bailly bossed the first 2-3 games he played. But now he got exposed really. Blind is still not a CB and won't be enough. To be fair he was the best of United's defence so can't have a lot of bad things to say about him, but I still think Mourinho is wrong to play Blind at CB.

Valencia is a great attacking player but got clearly perplexed when it came to positioning. United needs a player for the big games at RB who can defend better.

Don't have anything against the Fellaini- Pogba pairing, they were the only 2 proper home players on the pitch yesterday

But the attacking 3 of the midfield managed to be even worse than the defence. Lingard clearly not good enough yet to start in United, that's quite obvious.

Rooney didn't do anything special and proved once again he's way past his peak. Mkhitaryan played really shite but that's Mourinho to blame for that. He should've started him in some games before throwing him in at the derby. Also, Mkhitaryan is not a freaking RW. He's better at CAM than Rooney.

Mourinho is known for not giving too much respect for club legends, and only picking his XI based on performance (see Casillas v Diego Lopez affair). Let's see if he has the balls to drop Rooney and play Mkhitaryan at his best position.

I think when you have Mata and Martial at the bench it's clearly wrong to field these players in the starting XI.

Nothing against Ibra either, he tried his best and he isn't a one-man team even though he scored once again.

So I think Mourinho is the one whose mistakes finally got exposed in this derby.

A big shout out to Manchester City, and especially the awesome Kevin de Bruyne. Unlike my answer my imply, I think there's no shame in losing to such a great team, but I think United can do much better.

A very enjoyable Manchester Derby overall which lived up to the expectations fully and it's the only game in world football which can come close to El Clasico if the teams continue like this.

Mourinho was at fault, he tried to pull off a trick, he experimented, and it failed badly. Lingard didn't make any contribution to the game, but was still better than Micky, whose half-hearted attempt to close down Kolarov led to the first goal.
One other candidate who deserves to be chastised is Blind, and IMO he needs to be immediately benched for Smalling on this showing. Valencia was not that bad actually, and Ibra would have done better if he had received better service. He did score one goal though.
De Bruyne was phenomenal, and Guardiola was rewarded for sticking to his team. If Mourinho learns from his mistake and stops blaming his players (he didn't blame them explicitly, and he did repeatedly say, it's my fault), then maybe we can win the title.
But Micky and Blind and Lingard need to be benched and used for Europa/League Cup.

@nanda my bad, I only listed bravo cos emo listed a few city players as well

Mourinho for wrong tactics and players which he pick.

@bluezz Its okay lad, no problem, Bravo is kind of responsable for the manchester united goal so he is in a sense responsable for the results. Everyone entitled to their own opinion and let be sincere, it was really painful to watch Bravo performance.

United didn't even try to stop the flow from defence to attack, Silva and Nolito could do anything they want when they got the ball. Also Mourinho's tactic was centerred around long balls to Ibrahimović and wingers (they were almost useless), but City stopped that well and on multiple occasions got ball deep in United's half. Also fullbacks weren't playing on classic role (playing on side), but they got more to center so they could create flow from defence to attack. Fernandinho's main role was to get ball from defence to midfield (like Busquets in Barcelona). Wingers went wide letting Silva and de Bruyne to rush in free space.

I'd say it was fault of Pep's brilliance. He did this with City in just one month, gave talented players a chance and had the right tactics.

Same boy that was responsible for the death of Harambe.

Ok on topic

I think City is just level above . Players have done what they could but United still needs a lot of work .

Blind had an awful game. Tactics were bad, but individual mistakes led to the goals. I'll put the loss on Blind. Not on Mou.
