    Peter Malath:, external Michael Carrick without match fitness and slow like a trailer on? I would rather use Paddy McNair. Expect the worst now.

    Stephen:, external Carrick is far more defensively wise and better at passing than Chris Smalling.

    Khael Malik:, external How many silly red cards does that make for Manchester United this season? Players not making it easy for Louis van Gaal are they?

  2. HALF-TIMEpublished at 14:19 Greenwich Mean Time 2 November 2014

    No goals. PLENTY of talking points.

  3. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 14:18 Greenwich Mean Time 2 November 2014

    Huge penalty appeal! Yaya Toure runs in behind to meet Stevan Jovetic's chip, he's the last man but Rojo gets a toe on the ball and Michael Oliver says no!

    These QPR lads aren't holding back on that dismissal for Smalling, there's condemnation across the positions:

    Striker Charlie Austin:, external Wow what was he thinking! Seriously putting his team right under the cosh. Two poor bookings #hairdryertreatment

    Midfielder Joseph Barton:, external First booking was idiotic. Now look what's happened? #smalling

    Defender Rio Ferdinand:, external First booking cost Smalling big time...good to see Carrick back. Best English defensive midfielder of his generation.

    Manchester United have spent £150m and ended up with a back four containing Michael Carrick and Antonio Valencia. Quite some effort!

    Into three minutes of added time...

    Matthew Brown:, external Stupid to get the first yellow and then goes in off his feet at the edge of the box. Wretched decisions by Chris Smalling.

    Ashley Willliams:, external Louis van Gaal must be wondering why he didn't buy more defenders in the summer. No decent ones on the bench.

    James Standen:, external Nice work ruining the game Smalling! Brainless.

  8. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 14:13 Greenwich Mean Time 2 November 2014

    Manchester United shuffle the deck. Michael Carrick is on for Adnan Januzaj. It looks like Carrick will play at the back.

    "The first yellow was needless. Chris Smalling will regret that first challenge on Joe Hart. The second was a challenge he had to make as City were looking for the opening down the flank again. Smalling mistimed his challenge but that is what happens when you give a silly yellow card away. It will be very difficult for Manchester United from here."

  10. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 14:12 Greenwich Mean Time 2 November 2014

    Marouane Fellaini is filling in at centre-half for now for Manchester United, who will just hope to see out the rest of the first half.

    Fellaini is then involved with a tangle with Sergio Aguero! Aguero wants a penalty, Fellaini is livid with the striker, bellowing in his face. Is that a penalty? There is contact...

  11. CLOSE!published at 14:10 Greenwich Mean Time 2 November 2014

    And Manchester City almost take immediate advantage! The free-kick is missed by David De Gea - the first blot on his copybook - and Vincent Kompany is inches away from converting it.

  12. Smalling sees redpublished at 14:10 Greenwich Mean Time 2 November 2014

    MOTD's Guy Mowbray at Etihad Stadium

    "He can have no complaints at all. It was rash. He had no need to make the tackle, especially not on a yellow card. As he walks down the tunnel he doesn't even get a glance from Louis van Gaal or Ryan Giggs. It's a long way in, a man light from here."

  13. RED CARDpublished at 14:08 Greenwich Mean Time 2 November 2014

    Extraordinary. This may well be the most stupid red card in Premier League history.

    If the first booking for charging down a goalkeeper was daft, then smashing into James Milner when he was going nowhere is just brainless. A red card.

    Chris Smalling has cost his team here.

    Chris Harvey:, external That's an absolutely idiotic booking from Chris Smalling (see 31mins). Last thing he needs with Sergio Aguero to face.

    Jerry Elumeze:, external Stupid yellow card for Smalling to pick up. Hope he doesn't rue it later.

    Abhishek:, external Only a matter of time before Real Madrid come calling for David De Gea...

    Lovely ball from Wayne Rooney out to Adnan Januzaj on the right, pass of the match. But the Belgian youngster can't find any end product and it fizzles out. Is Rooney a central midfielder in the making?

  16. Postpublished at 14:04 Greenwich Mean Time 2 November 2014

    The goals we predicted have not arrived yet but this game feels like it is warming up. United need to get Robin van Persie in the game.

    He's only touched it eight times - the fewest of anyone on the field.

  17. YELLOW CARDpublished at 14:02 Greenwich Mean Time 2 November 2014

    Angel Di Maria's free-kick into the box is dangerous but Joe Hart eventually gathers, before he gets Chris Smalling in the book as the defender charges down his drop-kick. Silly booking.

  18. Analysis: 30 minutespublished at 14:01 Greenwich Mean Time 2 November 2014

    BBC Sport chief football writer Phil McNulty at Etihad Stadium

    "Manchester City took their time to get into this derby game but they have posed a real threat in these last 10 minutes. It has allowed United keeper David De Gea to show the maturity that now puts him among the best young goalkeepers in the game.

    "De Gea showed superb reflexes to save from Jesus Navas and bravery to block at the feet of Sergio Aguero, taking a heavy knock in the process. This is in keeping with his form this season.

    "United's early zip has, for now, disappeared."

  19. Postpublished at 14:01 Greenwich Mean Time 2 November 2014

    David De Gea could quite realistically play for another 20 years. Frightening.

    At the other end Robin van Persie is taken out by Pablo Zabaleta and Wayne Rooney demands a yellow card from referee Michael Oliver. He has a point - this one is heating up...

    Tom Holmes:, external Manchester United have had more of the ball and look very good on it, but they don't have the sharpness and incision of Manchester City right now.

    Thomas Fiorilli:, external David De Gea is an absolute beast of a keeper.

    Marcus Sheldrick:, external De Gea only 23? Scary how much he could improve.
