"Really really poor today against City in a game you would have expected them to be firing on all cylinders for keen to close the gap and prove a point in the process. Other than Cahill, the players just didn't look interested. They were up against a rather weakened City midfield and still could not get a foothold or retain possession in the middle of the pitch. The likes of Luiz, Ramires, Mikel, Ba, Torres simply aren't in the same bracket as what United and City have. Hazard and Oscar still have everything to prove too. Even Spurs would have given City a better game today. If they can't get themselves up for a game like that then what is the point? I would take Welbeck, Cleverley, Young, Carrick, Valencia, Hernandez, Smalling, Jones over that lot anyday. For a club that has spent such obscene quantities of money on players and call themselves European Champions it is embarrassing and I fear for them that their problems are quite deep rooted."
