But I think that it's OK saying, oh, you're playing against a team that's going to counter-attack against you.

Yeah, that always happens in football.

You know, you're going to have times where a team is going to break, but you've just got to make sure you break them down first of all.

And I look at this United team and I don't really see that they're capable of it.

You know, they tried to mix it up.

Yeah, they were marginally better with Mata playing in the ten, but not enough, not enough for me.

And, you know, when I'm looking at all the problems they've got...

For him, 11 wins out of 33 since he's taken over.

Yeah, good.

Deadline day, as ever, is busy, even though there's not a fantastic amount going on.

Yeah, and look, as far as Manchester City are concerned as a club, certainly from the fans' point of view, it's hugely important they do well in the Cups, isn't it?

Because they've got, you know, the League Cup, they've got this fantastic record in.

They've won the last couple.

They always get through.

They find a way.

Pep is able to rotate in the League Cup and he still manages to go and win it.

The FA Cup, he's always named strong side.

So as far as that's concerned, I think he's almost confident what he's going to get.

And you have to say, when you look at that performance in midweek, the only thing that was slightly off from my point of view was his selection across the back.

I think that Otamendi coming back in was slightly odd.
