The first 20 minutes of the match - 60% of possession, 0 shots from both sides. 20 minutes after Kovacic came on and before the penalty - 65% of possession and 2-2 in shots. That is, the team's more or less usual style of play lasted for about half a match, and in this style, City were not even better in attack. The rest of the game - periods of equality in possession or even superiority of Manchester United. That is, even if we leave out the sabotage at the end, the team in which Gundogan, Bernardo Silva, Foden, KDB and Nunes came on the field SIMULTANEOUSLY, could not take the ball. This is the basis of the crisis. And only then do the mistakes pile up. The video subscribed contains a deep game analysis: https://boosty.to/cholo/posts/6baeef68-ee13-4181-94d8-3ad6a9213a7f, and other stuff also. Amad was given little to show his capabilities in the match, yet he used his rare chances maximally; Roy Keane said United could use this victory to further strengthen themselves, so can't you say it? Pep is given a break; sometimes feats don't need an example - well, Andy Robertson. Everything about how a man-down Liverpool handled this match with so much confidence as a slot adjusted a couple of positions, they even could hold their style. A couple of words about Arsenal - with the missing center forward, Arteta can't win the Premier League; is that true? Beautiful Real Madrid in attack was seen once more, but the number of mistakes in defense is big and disturbing. Leganes 0-1 in the first half is a rout. Might have been with a pinch of luck. How did Barcelona create chances? ## Publication Information - [marknelson](https://paragraph.com/@marknelson/): Publication homepage - [All Posts](https://paragraph.com/@marknelson/): More posts from this publication - [RSS Feed](https://api.paragraph.com/blogs/rss/@marknelson): Subscribe to updates ## Optional - [Collect as NFT](https://paragraph.com/@marknelson/-2): Support the author by collecting this post - [View Collectors](https://paragraph.com/@marknelson/-2/collectors): See who has collected this post
