EPL: Why Man City Defeated Man United – Zabaleta by 16Ebiscoo: 11:50pm On Nov 11, 2018
Former Manchester City star, Pablo Zabaleta has said that his former side defeated Manchester United on Sunday because they (City) had more quality in all areas.

Manchester City clashed with rivals, Manchester United, at the Etihad in the Premier League on Sunday.

City took the lead after just 12 minutes with three-time Premier League winner, David Silva, finishing from close range with a right-footed effort.

Zabaleta told Sky Sports that it was clear right from the half time the difference in quality between the two teams.

“I thought it was what we expected, the game we mentioned before the game,” Zabaleta said.

“Two different styles of play between Man United and Man City.

“Man City have been dominating the first half.

“I think the quality, the difference between both clubs, is unbelievable.

“They’ve got so much quality on the ball but off the ball the way they press is just unbelievable.”

Zabaleta, who now plays for West Ham, also pointed out that City could have scored more before half time.

Was Pogba there when West Ham trashed them? Like Zabeleta said, Man Utd lack quality

Their annoying fans kept hoping for a second half miracle. Their mouths became louder after that penalty. They were like, ''The comeback is on!!!'' But then, they started whinning about Pogba not playing... I was just laughing when City stepped on the gas and piled more misery on them. grin grin

Mr Pablo you're right but not definite, we have seen teams with less quality or talent beat bigger teams but thats not the case on sunday

Mancity created more shooting opportunities either through the flanks or by individual skill. Manutd on the other hand had a hard time in that aspect.

Mancity heavy ball possession meant Manutd had to at least make most of their chances which they didnt especially on the counter attack which ManU didnt instigate any at all if I can remember

Most of ManU shots came off setpieces, which isnt bad but open play shots were more or less non-existent (going back to the fact they didnt create enough goal shooting chances)

All in all it was a good game, ManU has bigger fish to fry than losing a derby, as long as they keep grinding and getting results so that they ultimately enter UCL spots they will be aight, they will however need too sign this January.

Mancity will be elated at this result but the season goes on and unlike last season when they lead the league at a canker, they realize they have more challengers at the moment.

You, clearly, don't know your footie bro. How many times has the underdog beaten the 'Superpowers' in a game of football! City didn't win solely because they were better, they worked hard for it.

I don't think anybody expected united to defeat city at the Ethihad stadium in the first place. Anything other than a man city victory will be one of the shockers of the century.

If he'd played, he wouldn't have made much difference. Man City is just simply better. I was hoping Man U would scamper away with a draw though. As an Arsenal fan, a draw is more like it! Sad we couldn't punish Wolves.

Mou is the problem with man u, his methods are outdated. Why start fellaini in that kind match, too slow and has zero creativity and intelligence on the ball. Man city players are very short and less physical but them they win.Again the movement of our players is so poor, when a united player is on the ball he can't see a team mate to pass because the rest of the team off ball movement is so poor and before you know it man u player with ball gets marked out by 2 or 3 opponents.Lets not talk about the confidence and moral if the team. He needs to leave united and probably take a break from management to improve on his methods

The front starting attacking trio of football small boys lack composure and quality especially the smallest of them Rashford. I reckon Mourinho played them to spite and show the board how ineffective and stupid it is to keep insisting on youth unproven small boys.

Manu capitulated the moment Mourinho substituted Herrera.

Who still buys the English media hype that Luke shaw is a good defender?

Who will complain of Mourinho spending to buy Pogba? What is Manu without such big boys?


Man city had superior execution of their excellent football system and/due to superior players.
