Premier League hangover: First Blood Guardiola to Manchester Turf Wars

Somehow the first Manchester Derby - almost up to the hype. To a tsunami - have coverage entirely justified and rich settlement and most watched game in the Premier League Anyway, he needed the final of the 1970 World Cup between Brazil and Italy to obscure - only two parties in Brazil are.

It was a little smaller than that, but still good enough to saturate the appetite and the great expectations from New York to Nairobi, Baghdad Barnsley.

In October last year the same two sides, a tie, the direction of the exhibition Solo played shot in each destination. It is always available by prescription for patients with insomnia.

Only curmudgeon first Jose Mourinho would have to be at least a little in love like a combination of styles ceased and cons I wavered between Manchester City to break a mother tries to convince of his shell, Manchester United a hammer to take equal.

Pep Guardiola would hate it, but it is, or at least want to show up in the city much second stoically half as it did his sublime first Aleksandar Kolarov is still lost looking for a in battle gear. Marouane Fellaini probably contributes to the throat .

Technically, such as the United unfortunately an equalizer bomb the area in the second half hunted, sometimes it was better than not enough. But obviously with each pass or directive from the side in a position to send the contest waterfall in a new direction, as a spectator, it was as if the game of soldiers had and could take your breath away.

An international Intermezzo had the game been a long accumulation, which offered more like for the heavyweight title from a soccer game for a fight to feel those. Not even a perishable convincing promoter Don King would have caused to be responsible in previous -Fight for participation, the bottom of the verbal confrontations band however. The embrace between Mourinho and Guardiola key, as it has remained faithful to a pact professional and not to keep - personal relationships, while the pair is in Manchester.

Fortunately, weigh a pre-match - in which both were reduced to their smalls, with only one club - preserve placed logo good each modesty were rescued against any scale take heavyweights to determine was heaviest fighting..

For 42 minutes saw the Manchester United as Muhammad Ali take a beating George Foreman in Zaire jungle in 1974. He was tactically director but goals from Kevin De Bruyne and Kelechi Iheanacho be sure that the shock felt cold canvas before jeté- much less was a hit of his own Mourinho reprimanded registered and had to interrupt the indignity to help his speech at halftime, the personal physician -. Club application have suffered antiseptic cream for rope burns on the back of most players.

In an interview with Sky Sports before the match, Mourinho seemed positive hackers. He has been in an ill-fitting tracksuit in his last days at Chelsea like a bum looked that the fox elegant silver has returned now that your mother met an accident with a wink could reduce, rather than your phone call from the police.

He was asked about his thoughts behind what prove to a fatally flawed decision his first start of the Premier - League - season for Henrik Mkhitaryan and Jesse Lingard, not only sting Guardiola to give, but overlooked definitely chin a fraction.

In explaining his hope that the city - manager would push his defender in midfield - and has been in more of the grip of the Spanish matches one of the favorites in charge so far - was unusually open previous view. Ultimately, it was one that paid off as the bad variety.

Definitely Guardiola take it as a compliment that Mourinho as his personal side with the city of the mind. Certainly not to make similar concessions.

"Sometimes players disappointed Manager," was the assessment of Mourinho wilted full - time in the Sky Sports prompted changes he had made ​​to his starting XI.

Turtles walk past restaurants soup Singapore known to lock in their lower the Armenian talent Shell Mkhitaryan doubt it is better days in his much Shirt It was Hard to worse after the ball a remarkable 13 -. Give times in 45 minutes. Lingard was no better.

Marcus Rashford, once again, an exuberance Lighthouse lucky that somehow makes you feel young and old at the same time carried out the clock more in the first five minutes as the second period, in which the pair of them succeeded in the opening period.

"Felt During the Derby, focus, attention, some of the guys," said Mourinho, according to The Guardian. "It has nothing to do with the experience or age. We had the child [Rashford] in the second half and it seems to play under 18 vs Salford city ".

If not the age or experience, Rashford must begin.

Guardiola chose the conventions of a traditional line of four with John Stones and Nicolas Otamendi switch between challenge in midfield, charged with Bacary Sagna and Kolarov drudgery of a defense as any other every day.

Guardiola detect when a defender moves in midfield in the Premier League was equivalent to visit a safari park and feel compelled, every time a new species is screaming on the horizon. Claudio Bravo is placed near the center circle, when he was ready to take a team offensive play like face is to provide a polar bear in a desert.

United players seemed disoriented like. With the city stitching on going with the precision of a master tailor in Savile Row, United seemed they are not sure your opponents, match, and press up or deposit and on the counter to play. To the chagrin of Mourinho angry, they did not apparently between a rock and sky blue sea.

Ultimately take Mourinho has responsibility, a front four amendments that their last three games won. The attractiveness of a surprise Guardiola hired supposedly a genius was - apparently is the quote from Oscar Wilde to mind: "I can resist everything except temptation", and his ego. , It seems.

The restrictions to some of United - players, the different units have been Manager of artists like Mourinho believes they were exposed to brutal investigated. David Silva and his band of brothers only nimble feet as she danced around Daley Blind Antonio Valencia, Lingard and Fellaini leave men almost-but-not-quite-good enough states to the eye as The Full Monty project do a job, to a number with the Royal Ballet.

With a nice flow of movement between the United lines could never suddenly in fact like to be reported to the opposite side, that they had taken their hosts cold. City Bossed the ball, but no one could accuse participate for United in a sterile possession. Instead, unusual for a site on the way to the goal of the city Guardiola seemed happy to follow the path of least resistance.

The first goal of the city began to feet legendary Bravo. With a five - Yard - Pass that Guardiola disciples had to bring hot towels, he hit the ball Kolarov, who went to run the field towards Iheanacho.

From there, Eric Bailly first error in a defensive horror story in three parts of states. For the first time this season, the Ivorian found wanting to be caught out of position, and even could not then in an air challenge participate Iheanacho. Paul Pogba, the day a light bulb flashing molten only chance in life, has agrees to stop a criminal act of bad discipline Bruyne runs - beyond.

Blind was so deep and flat feet Mauricio Pochettino has felt better about how he defends the goal from Michael Owen for England against Argentina in the 1998 World Cup, as it was home to the Man City nick the ball around in front of him.

De Bruyne was then the eyes of David De Gea end up as a man to prove £ 57 million, determined what indeed the case in the current market situation. In 46 games for the city, directly in 32 goals (17 goals, 15 assists) was involved.

It's hard not to admire. Joseph, are you there?

If we could all do more heatmap hot weekend (Bravo, Claudio) for a second, that was such an English goal in its construction, which must be accompanied by a pot of sauce. All this has angered Mourinho, as he had spent the week telling anyone who would listen that he wanted his team to intimidate almost as small as possible in the Premier League on a giant hand. Ken Dodd lost a number of your Diddymen, and he is not happy.

Elusive presence during after - noon, De Bruyne made ​​the second goal of the city as well. After Raheem Sterling scare the line dropped into the vein behind the United had left, out of shape, the ball came to the Belgian him. new ruling Blind - - a yard too easy on the left foot to work the ball After setting Developed prefer to little boost resending the ball against the measure by De Gea He Iheanacho to play left, just because buying the suspension of Sergio Aguero. , with the simple task of steering into an empty net.

Iheanacho became the youngest scorer in the city in a Manchester - who scored Derby on 19 years and 243 days now nine goals, starts in just eight Premier League. Not bad, I only had 13 shots on goal during his high-flying career.

As thoughts turned to 2011, when the city received six at Old Trafford, the only blemish on a perfect notebook first half for the visitors they came just before the break.

Bravo lowest point in the imperfect beginnings saw his line coming from only lack of stones a fleet of Wayne Rooney for the attack to be trapped under him when he started to fall. Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been reduced, and a technical majestically controlled from a stationary position, blasted a volley into the goal unguarded.

It was another object winner Eric Cantona vs Liverpool in the final of the FA Cup in 1996. Now, I think about it, it is easy to establish similarities between Bravo and David James. Saturday was the first time achieved Ibrahimovic in a home game and lost the League Fiorentina, Milan won in 2012.

If it would have shown a better spatial perception, United would have been the level of the interval. The rest of the game would have been a farce, so the rule was over the city. Bravo and Sagna are to allow in a mixture above Lingard choking and a unique opportunity in the segment Sweden to shoot just for him in a hurry, before he had - a clear stones create line comfortably.

Then Chile participated in the most controversial moment of the game when he made a terrible mess of a Stones Pass. A poor first touch and turned him into trouble with his foot on the ground, it starts in a challenge with Rooney. Reckless and dangerous, it was not only the captain and the United Mourinho felt the referee Mark Clattenburg to shortcomings wrong was applied by any penalty and a red card.

Everything is a pity that the reports Clattenburg got a tattoo of Manchester Ship Canal proposed had planned to go along with the trophies of the UEFA Champions League and the European Championships who had signed to mark the end, officiated won.

At all times fought Bravo like a pair of pants on a clothesline in a storm hanging every time the ball went anywhere near the box. Instead hang out full time to dry, Guardiola was a defense of his blind teacher then a local cyclops asked her to give it a more Spanish when it is not used.

"Claudio was one of the best performances I've seen in my life," was his summary on Sky Sports. It seems that random drug testers never reached the city wardrobe.

If complete congratulation next weekend taken against Bournemouth, I fully expect a sonnet of love couplets.

Bravo is unlikely that more than 100 selections collected and enjoyed a loaded trophy in Barcelona, ​​on the back not to use the able hands his cruise, but after a start like that is probably preferable to the British upper lip adopt rigid and not say anything.

To play De Gea a child who had won a competition in his first few months at Old Trafford goal for United, so that only fools rush to hasty judgments resembled.

In a Torino bar, Joe Hart was a boom assessment of the man he had dropped before start in dismay regulars at an improvised version of God Save the Queen. Braves had not arrived.

Sunday, Hart made ​​a preliminary forget Torino, it's how you.

Felt united Mourinho should have had another penalty when the ball hit the back of the arm Otamendi in the penalty area. Guardiola was angry that he had been given.

It would have been even harder to Otamendi, who won the special praise from his manager full time. Often with Eliakim Mangala grouped sent (a man who appeared in the course of his career city as strong as a pony in a wheel - drive pushed on a hill), Otamendi was beautiful Saturday.

There are bonus points with Guardiola for pass completion rate of 91 percent earned that certainly impressed more than five tackles, six interceptions and five licenses. Just for one day and then Otamendi was the first iron in a velvet glove.

Who will finish higher?

Congratulations must also go to Fernando blamed. Causes Iheanacho Guardiola, the return upwards States in the middle of the second half in an intelligent defensive performance and fitness Brazilian sales - seemed to overcome game will surprise those who had booked a one of the first passengers on the express Guardiola Manchester.

After the death of the game, Bravo still time almost another had to take, but not met before Ibrahimovic 12 to also stolen, Zlatan / Rashford Hybrid for Off was targeted - Page had Leroy Sane busy city entry, de Bruyne, the base beaten by Gea and also post impressive Fernandinho was near the head.

be tiring after extensive fifteen-to-the-point-hype, perhaps it is best with regard to the conclusion to pause.

The next episode of Manchester Classic is not to 25 February 2017th
