Pep Guardiola told Manchester United exactly what needs to improve at Old Trafford after another Manchester City derby win - but will they listen?
You know it's been a particularly bad Manchester United defeat when Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher are arguing on a split screen on Sky Sports, shouting at each other to let them talk.
Pep Guardiola was never going to join in that level of mockery, and spent his pre-match talking up United's threats and refusing to rule them out as title contenders. He may do now, after seeing them swatted aside at Old Trafford for the seventh time in his seven-and-a-bit season at City. Even pre-match, Guardiola warned how dangerous it would be to allow United to counter-attack, having slipped to a controversial defeat at United last season.
Analysis of United's signings is reaching the conclusion that they have spent poorly again, even though their summer business was being praised in the summer. Injuries have disrupted their start to the season, but nothing can account for the shows of petulance by Bruno Fernandes or Antony - or the complete lack of effort by Marcus Rashford and others.
"We are in the same direction," he said. "Me, the CEO, the sporting directors, the chairman. That is why I think the club is so stable."
