The goalless draw between Manchester United and Manchester City was not one for the ages.
A dismal first half, which saw neither team muster a shot on target, was followed by a scarcely better second period.
United fans were unimpressed with the hosts’ display.

While City surely would have threatened more with a full-strength team.
In isolation, ok. In context – no Silva and Aguero and Utd lacking the goalscorer you usually need to win the title – a missed opportunity.

The praise for Anthony Martial continued.

While Jesse Lingard proved a popular introduction, coming close to breaking the deadlock when his volley hit the bar.

But City have a promising young attacking talent of their own.

By the time the final whistle rolled around, no one was too upset to see the game draw to a close.
Man United 0-0 Man City. I wish I'd watched the Bills vs. Jaguars instead.

But some were finding the positives.
The 0-0 Manchester derby draw in November 2010 was probably a lot worse than that TBF.

Now let’s never speak of this again.
