You know how pundits love to say a game was ‘A great advert for the Premier League’? This is game is the opposite of that
Lewis
This is somehow worse than the Grand Prix that I woke up at 6am for.
John, Sheffield
After the most boring grand Prix this morning this has to be the worst Manchester derby ever!

Manchester City defender Ruben Dias on Kevin De Bruyne leaving the club: "It's not the best news to receive. More than the player he is he's a friend and a very special person to all of us, the club and the fans. Right now it's a time to savour every single second we can have him.
"What he's done is special, there are so many adjectives the classify it. Enjoy every moment, we are still in three competitions [including Fifa Club World Cup]. Try and make it as best as we can, he deserves it, as a member of this team I want it for him more than anything else."
FT: Man Utd 0-0 Man City
Manchester City defender Ruben Dias speaking to Sky Sports: "It was a very difficult game, it always is, they were dangerous. I feel like to leave today with a point is to add to our run to stay in the top four, there was a lot of fight from all of us.
On playing against United's low block: "It's not easy when they are so low and so many numbers, it's difficult. I felt in the first half we had moments we arrived to the moment of last pass and if the last pass gets in we could have been more dangeorus. Second half was different.
On City's fighting spirit: "Even though it was not our best performance, the way we fought and everyone was connected. The way Bernardo [Silva] and Mateo [Kovacic] fought for every ball. The last effort fom Omar [Marmoush], completely drained but he still went for it, that is what we are made of.
How far are City of getting back to their level?: "Time will tell how far we are, but definitely I feel we are more solid, our attitude, how we fight for duels, we are able to suffer in difficult circumstances. The way we react when lost the ball, the principles of being what we are.
"Offensively we are not normal, not today, but they are little signs that people don't appreciate that much."
Man Utd 0-0 Man City
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola speaking to Sky Sports: "We have the control but not in the right spots to hurt them in the first half, a little better in the first minutes of the second half. United have been an incredible transitional team, defend against us deep, with Garnacho and the pace they have. They link inside, they know perfectly what they have to do. But we take the point, I'd prefer to win but we are there.
What do the players need to do better?
"The players know it. There is a process when the ball is on one side the players need to be in the right position. Today that was not good enough.
"Against a 5-4-1 it's so narrow and congested. We should have been in some positions that we tried to get in but weren't good enough to punish them.
"The last games we much much better, back four better, just our process was not [good] but we know that, when we lose the ball in certain positions they are a strong team and punish you, but we knew that.
About getting back to City's usual level:
"It will take time, the players gave everything today,
"We will prepare for the upcoming games, there are a few things I'm happy with what I saw, but now we need to achieve the target of qualifying for Champions League then next season is next season."
FT: Man Utd 0-0 Man City
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "I think we did well. We played a different game compared to Nottingham Forest last week. I know the excitement is not the same when you are not fighting for big things, changes the excitement of the derby.
On the lack of goals: "We look at the positive things. Now in the last games we have the opportunities so we have to improve the last pass and the last shot."
On the lack of intensity: "Sometimes you look at the teams and because of the moment there are doubts. Sometimes it is the moment of the clubs and the teams and you have to understand that."
On Bruno Fernandes' importance to the team: "That is clear but you look at other teams and they have players who are essential. If you look at Liverpool with [Mohamed] Salah, the difference that he makes. Bruno is our player in that department. He's doing quite well. Everybody has to improve and Bruno has to step up a little bit more next year because he has really big quality."
FT: Man Utd 0-0 Man City
Man City midfielder Mateo Kovacic speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live: "Not a beautiful game to watch. It was tough. They were aggressive in the mid block so it was tough to find the right spaces to play. It was tough to create chances and we had to be careful with the counter attack because they are good going forward. It was a typical derby. We wanted the win but we take the point and move on.
"We always go for the win but we also had to be careful not to lose it because we are in a battle for the Champions League and we need points. We could have done more going forward and creating more but it was tough with the small spaces. We move on to the next games.
"We have to have the same mindset for Champions League [as going for the title] because it is important that Man City are in the competition next season.
"It will be tough until the end because there are many teams that fight for the top four and no game in the Premier League is easy. But we are confident that we can achieve it."

Roy Keane
Former Manchester United midfielder on Sky Sports
That's the desire I'm talking about. They [Man United] need to find a way to get a result.
It's got to come from the manager, the staff, they've got to get it into the leaders they have in the dressing room.
They've got experienced players out there, [Harry] Maguire, Casemiro, [Bruno] Fernandes, do they get a grip of these players? We watch them at weekends but I'm always intrigued about what happens day-to-day at the training ground.
They get interviewed after as if a draw isn't too bad. A draw doesn't get you anywhere fast.
This is not enough, this isn't good enough.
Forget the top teams, I'm on about competing with Brentford and Crystal Palace and Wolves and all these teams. Are you telling me Man United should be behind them, even this group of players?
FT: Man Utd 0-0 Man City
More from Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes speaking to Sky Sports about fellow midfielder Kevin De Bruyne who is leaving Manchester City at the end of the season: "De Bruyne made the Premier League better. If City is where he is and Manchester United haven't won many trophies in this period, that is because of Kevin. He deserves all the credit, he has done fantastic.
"Ten years in the Premier League is a lot. Kevin keeps being world class and it was a pleasure to watch him so close, it was a pleasure to play against him and he's going to stay in the history of the Premier League, not only of Man City."
FT: Man Utd 0-0 Man City
Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes speaking to Sky Sports: "Happy with the performance but we need points. We played against a very good side but the game was there, we needed a killer instinct to get the goals. When you play against Manchester City, you know they will have a lot of the ball. The killer instinct was missing but we created a lot of chances.
"We have to be carry on. Not just for the rest of the season but everything that comes after.
On his responsibility to be the difference: "We know that I will get more attention than others because I am the captain and I need to be at a level every time I go on the pitch. Effort will never be missing and that has to be my main thing to show to the other players.
On how far off Manchester United are: "It is not these games that will define that. Whenever we play big teams, we know the pressure and attention is there. If we want to be a big club, like Manchester City and Liverpool, we have to do that consistently. If after today we relax and think that this is enough, we go back again. We have to do this consistently.
On what the derby was like to play in: "It can't be like it was in the past, a lot of things have changed, with VAR, everything. With VAR, you can't do that.We can't be as rough as we want in the duels. Everything have changed."
Compromise at half a point each?
Anyway, let's hear from Bruno Fernandes.
Just joining us and trying to judge the vibe of this game?
Well, it was so uneventful that BBC Sport Get Involveders are now debating whether we even hand out points for certain football matches.

Current point system is fine. No need for changes due to emotional reactions.

Image source, Getty ImagesManchester City manager Pep Guardiola speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "Tight game. They had chances, we had chances as well. The only problem is we moved too much with the ball. We had to be in the right position and we didn't do that.
On his team selection: "I think they played really good. Rico [Lewis] was really good. Satisfied with all of them.
On how the front line will operate without Erling Haaland: "It depends. We put players with the sense of goal, with Omar [Marmoush] and Phil [Foden]. Gundo [Ilkay Gundogan] and Kev [De Bruyne] with good crosses and passes in to them. We have lived this many years. We were really good in our intensity. In that terms we are satisfied for the way we have done it."
On Nico O'Reilly's performance: "Really good, especially in the first half. Really pleased."

Roy Keane
Former Manchester United midfielder on Sky Sports
We saw the lack of quality [from Man United], the lack of goals holding the club back the last couple of years.
I'm not sure what the mindset is in this group in terms of winning football matches.
I think they need to show more courage. You go back to teams I played under, and I know you'll say this team isn't as good as that, obviously not, but there's a responsibility, when you're playing for Manchester United, to win football matches.
What we've seen today, as much as we're all disappointed with it, what were we expecting? They don't score enough goals and they've not done for the last year or two and that's not going to change.
Man Utd 0-0 Man City
Image source, Getty ImagesMore from United boss Ruben Amorim on what United need to do to return to the top level:
"I'm not naive or crazy, I can see the moment we are in, I can look at the opponents and understand there is a big gap, but as a leader I cannot say we are going to take all of the time to close the gap.
"Even if we bring in more players we have to hurry and show urgency to do better because we don't have much time at a club like this. We are in a rush.
Did the struggles of both teams affect the intensity of the game?
"If you look at the moment of both teams, not fighting for titles, that changes the game completely.
"The feeling of winning, not being able to lose one point, that feeling is not here. As the coach it's hard to say that. We need to fight for big things, if we do then the feeling will be completely different."

Is it time to make 0-0 draws worth 0 points? Neither team with any real ambition to push for a winner here.

Man Utd 0-0 Man City
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim speaking to Sky Sports: "I think we had some chances to win the game. We tried to use the space in transitions, defending in a low block, but we had our chances.
"We had some moments with the ball, we pushed City into their half, we were closer to a goal but we can accept a draw. We were closer to the goal, they had more posession but that is normal.
On what United need to improve: "We have so many aspects to improve. Everywhere we need to improve in every aspect, build up, transition, decisions in the final third. Every player can improve, they are here because they showed something at other cubs. They have the quality, we are still a team that plays on transition, we need to spend more time in final third to have more opportunities."
FT: Man Utd 0-0 Man City
"Where do you need to improve?" Sky Sports asks Ruben Amorim.
"Everywhere," says the Manchester United manager.
To be fair, he does then give a really good answer about how he sees his side slowly improving. Full quotes from him and Pep Guardiola to come.
Manchester City captain Kevin de Bruyne was making his 22nd appearance in the derby
Manchester United and Manchester City played out an uninspiring goalless draw that underlined the need for change at both clubs this summer.
City did threaten twice at Old Trafford through Omar Marmoush but the Egypt forward could not beat United goalkeeper Andre Onana on either occasion.
United created a succession of half-chances. But once Alejandro Garnacho had been sent sprawling by Ruben Dias on the edge of the City box in the opening seconds, a familiar story unfolded. As on so many occasions this season, Ruben Amorim's side did not seem as though they believed they could score.
The nearest they came was 13 minutes from time when substitute Joshua Zirkzee turned a Patrick Dorgu cross goalwards but Ederson was able to push the Dutchman's effort to safety.
A draw keeps United anchored in the middle of the lower half of the table but City are now sweating on a Champions League spot, remaining in fifth - which would almost certainly be enough - but with Newcastle two points behind them with two games in hand.
Arguably the most inspiring moment of the whole afternoon came before kick-off when United captain Bruno Fernandes accompanied seven-year-old mascot Bobby Moore from Belfast on to the pitch.
The Portugal international invited Moore to Old Trafford after seeing a video of the youngster celebrating his goal in a previous Manchester derby. In the process Moore became United's first-ever wheelchair/powerchair-using mascot.
As at Nottingham Forest on Tuesday, there was a lot to like about United's performance.
Garnacho's early charge downfield set the tone for the first half hour as the home side passed the ball with purpose and repeatedly found players in encouraging positions close to the City area.
But, as was the case at the City Ground, where they lost 1-0, they failed to turn those positions into a meaningful threat.
Garnacho got a header all wrong, Dorgu didn't trust himself to shoot with his right foot and fired wide with his left and Manuel Ugarte couldn't keep his balance long enough to send a far post effort goalwards.
Rasmus Hojlund started but didn't have a chance of note. Zirkzee had one but Ederson was equal to it. United have now failed to score in 11 of their 31 league games this season.
It has been said so many times before. Manchester United need a finisher.
The difference with Tuesday was that at Forest, they gave away a sloppy goal. On this occasion, apart from Onana flapping at one cross, their defence remained secure.
United are now going to record their lowest-ever Premier League points total - although as they needed to win their final eight games to avoid that fate, they probably knew that anyway.
With confirmation he will leave City when his contract expires at the end of the season, De Bruyne was playing at Old Trafford in City's famous sky blue for the last time.
It was his 22nd derby appearance overall, spanning a period of blue dominance over red in terms of titles and quality.
Operating in the number 10 role from which Jack Grealish had been dropped, De Bruyne started as though he was determined to make a significant impact.
He had an early shot after turning on to an astute Bernardo Silva pass inside the penalty area but it didn't trouble Onana. De Bruyne then tried a through ball for Phil Foden, which he overhit.
Deeper into the opening period, he surged forward in the matter of old with a real sense of purpose. Even at 33, De Bruyne was able to outpace Diogo Dalot but Foden didn't give the Belgium captain much of an angle and the pass went astray.
At the start of the second half, Matheus Nunes picked out De Bruyne on the right side of the penalty area. But the cross was too far in front of Marmoush. A few minutes later, from a similar position, De Bruyne took advantage of Nunes' overlapping burst and stepped inside. For a second, it appeared De Bruyne would find the corner. Instead, his shot went straight to Onana again.
It was similar to quite a few of De Bruyne recent appearances. The sense of a dying of the light - certainly at this high level - was impossible to escape.

Manchester United are looking to complete just their first Premier League double over Manchester City since 2019-20, following their 2-1 win at the Etihad Stadium in December.
Manchester City have won more Premier League away games against Manchester United than any other side (9). Five of their nine wins have come under Pep Guardiola, the most of any visiting manager in the competition.
Manchester United haven’t lost any of their last three meetings with Man City in all competitions (W2 D1), last having a longer run between January 2010 and February 2011 (4).
The away team has won 10 of the last 18 Premier League meetings between Manchester United and Manchester City (D2 L6) and since the 2015-16 campaign, the only Premier League fixture with more away wins is Crystal Palace versus Liverpool (12).
Manchester United have gone eight Premier League matches at Old Trafford without keeping a clean sheet, their longest run since a run of 12 between April and December 2021. They’ve shipped 17 in nine games under Ruben Amorim, with the Portuguese coach having the worst goals conceded per game ratio of any permanent Red Devils manager on home soil in the Premier League (1.89).
Manchester City have lost six of their last 11 away Premier League matches (W3 D2), as many as they had in their previous 37 away games combined (W26 D5 L6). They’ve only lost more than six away games in one of the last 13 seasons (seven in 2019-20).
Manchester United have picked up just two points in eight Premier League home games this season against sides starting the day in the top-half (D2 L6), scoring five and conceding 19 times in these matches.
Ruben Amorim has won both meetings with Manchester City in all competitions this season, beating them in the Champions League with Sporting CP and the Premier League with Man Utd. He could become just the third manager to beat Pep Guardiola in three consecutive meetings, after Jürgen Klopp with Liverpool (twice) and Thomas Tuchel with Chelsea in 2020-21.
Erling Haaland has been directly involved in nine goals in eight appearances against Manchester United for Man City (6 goals, 3 assists), though he hasn’t scored or assisted in any of his last three against them.
Bruno Fernandes has been involved in 21 goals at Old Trafford for Man Utd this season in all competitions (12 goals, 9 assists). If he assists in this game it’ll be third time he’s got both 10+ goals and 10+ assists in a season at Old Trafford (also 2020-21 and 2022-23), more than all other players combined since 1992-93: Dwight Yorke in 1998-99 (12G, 10A) and Cristiano Ronaldo in 2006-07 (14G, 11A).
