City destroyed United in the Manchester derby. Can this season get any worse for Manchester United? They sit in 8th place in the Premier League with 15 points from 10 games and in 3rd place in the Champions League group with qualification in doubt. While for City, it is business as usual, they did what most of us thought they would do.

In this episode, we dive deep into the Manchester Derby showdown, discussing the lineups, match summary, and Manchester United's ongoing crisis situation. Stay tuned until the end to get our expert insights!

📋 Lineups:
Manchester United started with the CB duo of Maguire and Evans, with Lindelof on LB. Should they have started with Varane and Regullion? The formation switched between 4-4-2 with a diamond midfield and 4-2-3-1 on defense.

Manchester City used their regular 4-2-3-1 formation, with changes tailored to different phases of play. We saw Stones stepping up alongside Rodri to form a double pivot in the midfield. The squad showed its strength with six changes from their midweek Champions League game.

📈 Match Summary:
We break down the most important moments of the game. City's first goal came through a penalty converted by Haaland. We discuss the contentious penalty decision.

Hojlund's powerful half-volley in the 46th minute was saved by Ederson, and Haaland's header was stopped by an incredible save from Onana in the 48th minute. City dominated the first half but weren't flawless.

City scored their second with a back-post header by Haaland in the 49th minute, and the build-up was a masterpiece. We analyze why United had no answer to it. Don't miss this part!

City continued their beautiful football in the second half, making United chase the ball and creating opportunities, while United lacked coordination. Foden scored City's third with a tap-in set up by Haaland.

🔴 Man United's Crisis Continues:
We delve into the errors made by Ten Hag regarding team selection and substitutions. Should Varane have started instead of Evans or Maguire? We question the decisions to substitute Hojlund instead of Bruno or Rashford and discuss Roy Keane's comments about Bruno.

We scrutinize the use of fresh attackers Antony and Martial in the 86th minute and whether they should have been brought on earlier. We highlight United's strong performance in the EFL Cup with young players and question why they aren't used more often.

Finally, we address United's lack of a clear playstyle or identity and the rumors surrounding the club, from the fallout with Sancho to Casemiro's reported unhappiness. How long can Eric Ten Hag last at United?
