If you don’t agree with me it’s because I’m ‘biased’. That’s just poor.

No mention of the stats..

It was 17 shots to 9
9 on target to 3
7 corners to 4


That’s more indicitive of 3-1 ( it’s generally something like 3 shots on target per goal) than 5-1 and to suggest it could have been more makes your comment even worse.
Your love of the club often blinds you to the realities of the situation. This is one such example.

The penalty apart, which came out of nothing and was an absolute gift, City didn't threaten the United goal until they were 4-1 down. By that time, the visitors had taken their foot off the gas and were effectively going through the motions.

City's three shots on target were the penalty, a decent effort from Murphy which brought a good save from De Gea, and Zohore's effort from an acute angle which De Gea had covered comfortably.

United may have had nine shots on target, but they also waltzed through City's midfield on numerous other occasions and only some desperate, last-ditch defending, some over-elaborate play in the final third and a couple of decent saves by Etheridge kept the score down.

It was a really good performance by United, but also a really poor one from City. Unfortunately, the 5-1 scoreline didn't flatter the visitors at all. I genuinely believe you've imagined these 'decent spells' City allegedly had. They were outclassed, plain and simple.
