This is because Manchester City collapsed in a derby

The weak point is that Manchester City are playing nervously after falling behind first.

JAKARTA - The progress of 21 consecutive wins in all competitions recorded by Manchester City was finally stopped by Manchester United (MU) in the Manchester derby on Monday (8/3) early morning WIB yesterday. The match ended 2-0 to win MU.

City remain strong at the top of the standings and so are in controlling the game as in previous matches. But the defeat of the Red Devils, according to the Manchester Evening News , revealed a strange weak point City had been hiding for so long.


The weak point is that City play nervously after falling behind first, and only John Stones who is called the Manchester Evening News who remains calm even though United have netted two goals against City.

After being unbeaten for so long, City actually appeared nervous at the start of the match against United because they conceded so quickly in the 35th second of the match.

"Gabriel Jesus lost the ball in his own area of defense, Rodri could not reclaim the ball when the opportunity arose and then Jesus even violated Anthony Martial," wrote the Manchester-based daily, Tuesday (9/3).

Goalkeeper Ederson may regret it forever for not perfectly defending Bruno Fernandes' penalty, even though he has already moved towards the ball in the nest and has even touched it.

"Luke Shaw could have easily scored the second goal in the first five minutes of the second half to create a bigger riot that City has felt in the previous five games," wrote the Manchester Evening News.

United are also said to have benefited from the decision by City coach Pep Guardiola to back Kyle Walker because his partner Joao Cancelo turned out to be slower than Walker so he often lost quickly against United's attackers. John Stones remained calm throughout the first half but that was not followed by most of his team-mates.

That nervousness even allowed the Citizens to test United goalkeeper Dead Henderson after 25 minutes. Kevin De Bruyne and Raheem Sterling are also often at a loss when trying to break into the final third of the pitch.

The Manchester Evening News commented, "Collectively, with the exception of the impressive John Stones, City are not doing very well and United are doing very well to their strength, taking full advantage of the opportunity while defending well enough that the opponents can't break through. it's no wonder City failed to reap points from its tough rivals.
