Incredible ball, I'm not sure how much Mandzukic got on it though.

Darmian basically. And as per usual we don't have the incisiveness to break down 10 men behind the ball. We haven't played bad by any means, only really Darmian and Mata have had poor games, just no end product yet again.

Fell away massively after about 30 minutes. The substitutions only made it worse too.

Best wishes to Luke Shaw. Such bad luck with injuries.

Same, so happy we got rid of Hernandez and Januzaj on the final day so we could have Fellaini and Valencia to try and save us games.

Second time we've tried a hopeless short free-kick when we need a goal this season already.

Thats Shaw's career done then. At the very least he will never reach whatever his maximum potential is.

He's lucky in many respects.

It looks like a fairly clean break, its middle of the way up on the shin so away from the small bones in the ankle and knee and he's 20 so, comparatively, his recovery should be smoother than someone older.

Doubt we'll see him again in any meaningful capacity before next season, but hopefully thats the worst of it. No reason why he can't make a full recovery, although it will be tough for him, especially mentally.

Good win by Juve. Besides Sterlings chances everything was fairly comfortable to deal with.

Tbf it wasn't as bad tackle as made out, I think he was just unfortunate

He launched himself into a lunging, two footed tackle, with his studs showing. I'm not really sure how it could have been much worse.

I don't buy the notion he went in to deliberately hurt Shaw, but what happened to Shaw is the exact reason tackling like that is so dangerous.

Bullshit, he goes in sideways/scissor style, it's the fact his back leg comes through that does the damage. Well that and the fact he's off the ground as he's trying to get to the ball first, but you can't really put that against him, otherwise we might as well not tackle with any force

How is going in 'scissor style' a mitigation? It's preciously because his back leg comes through that Shaw breaks his leg because his leg gets caught in-between Moreno's two feet. If Moreno had just lunged at him Shaw was in mid-air and would have just been cleaned out and probably limped away with a nasty bruise and not a lot else. It's still a red card challenge, but at least Shaw would be walking away from it.

It's basically a 101 in how to execute the most dangerous slide tackle possible.

Edit: Actually I take it back, calling it a slide tackle implies that he slid at some point. He didn't.

You said 'he launched himself into a lunging, two footed tackle, with his studs showing'. For one it's not a two footed tackle, as I explained, it's the fact his back leg comes through that breaks Shaw's leg. He's intent is to take it with his leading foot clearly. Tackles like that happen every week and there's nothing wrong with them imo, Shaw was just unfortunate how it all worked out, where his leg was positioned and the way and the force Moreno's trailing leg came through with.

No idea why City spent most of the game thinking they were playing a mid table Prem team. The needing to adapt to Europe excuse was okay for a season or two. Just poor seeing your midfield overrun and using 5 passes to switch play against such a disciplined defence. The old possession wins games is bullshit. Bony was very poor.

I wish I'd of watched United instead. Though I did switch over to hear Scholes 'They can take a lot of positives from today but it's still a poor result against a bad team'. Brutally honest.

Have to say BT's coverage has been top class so far, a welcome change from Sky/ITV.
