Hello and welcome to The Rest Is Football with Micah Richards, Alan Shearer and me, Gary Lineker. You chaps are at home. I'm in Rabat in Morocco for the Africa Cup of Nations final between Morocco and Senegal, which is later tonight. So we're going to do the first half now to discuss all Saturday's games. And then we're hoping to jump back on later. But I might, chaps, because you know how these things can drag on at these events. We might have to leave you to do a second half on your own. But, you know, you'll manage. Your man is absolutely fine. But we'll see. I'll try our best to jump on and let you know what it was like, the experience of being at the game and everything. And if we can't get back on, we'll record it later in the week for you and let you know our experience here in Morocco.
But for now, well, fascinating days football yesterday. I think we have to start with the Manchester derby. It could not have gone much better for Manchester United. Fairly awful, I actually thought. But that was a game we managed to watch before we flew away. But yeah, what was your take on it? Well, let's start with Micah. Do you need a little rant? Start with Alan.
Give United all the praise. Go on, give it to them.
That's a very good point. Well, I thought Man Utd were absolutely outstanding from start to finish. The energy, the way they just went out and did exactly what the manager wanted. I thought some of their play was superb, their aggression. Yeah, they got lucky with what should have been a red card for Dalot. There's no doubt about it. What on earth the VAR were thinking? I mean, and then they said that it was more of a glancing rather than it was a straight on. Absolute rubbish.
I totally get your point, Alan. But the one thing I'll go back to as well, in normal time, it didn't look anything.
Yeah, and I get that with the referee. Yeah, the slow motion. They brought VAR in to look at things like that. The referee couldn't see it, and I get that and understand that. But that is a terrible challenge. That is an endangering an opponent, which means a red card. And for the two to sit in there and think, no, that was okay. It was just a yellow. I mean, honestly. But anyway, that's not their fault. He didn't get sent off and they made the most of it. And they were absolutely brilliant. They created chances. They made Man City look very average. They stopped Haaland. In fact, they stopped everything that Man City are very good at in terms of blocking spaces, stopping balls into the forwards, into Foden, etc.
And they thoroughly deserved it. Should have been, could have been more so. They were outstanding. That has to be the norm for them every week now. Has to be the norm in terms of the energy.
Well, we're on United. I think it does show that if players are given jobs that work for them and a system that works, I mean, people say, yeah, why don't they always try that? I think you do as footballers. You always try and give your best, but for various reasons, sometimes you can't and then confidence saps and stuff like that. And then you get a fresh, fresh impetus coming in with a new manager and
