A draw does them no favours whatsoever yet only one team was interested in trying to play football and win the game.
This is true. Reminded me of the Champions League semi final last year. One of the biggest games in City's history, they go 1-0 down are were content to just see the game out and not get embarrassed. No shame in knowing and accepting your place in the pecking order.
I heard this 'a draw does them no favours' last night. What a load of tosh. Both teams are now totally in control of their own density for a top 4 spot if they both win out for the remainder of the season. Manure would have took that spot all day along a few weeks ago.
united have 3 consecutive away games after Sunday; Arsenal, Spuds, Southampton. They really should have been looking for 3 points last night.
Edit....you're right with the bit you added. Maureen will be delighted not to have lost to Pep. I'm guessing he's putting all his CL qualification eggs in the Europa League basket. A great time to play City;
on the back of a tough, draining 120 minutes vs Arsenal and our key defender still returning to full fitness (and 'lolbravo' in goal) yet they had no interest in trying to score, or even getting out their own half in the 2nd period.
Does Mourinho value not losing to Pep higher than finishing in the top 4?
United have avg a game every 3 and a half days this month, have 3 first choice centre backs injured, their top goal scorer and their player of the season. Don't think coming out all guns blazing, playing into City's hands, was ever going to be on the agenda.
