In a lackluster Manchester derby, Ruben Amorim noted that the underwhelming 0-0 result stemmed from both teams' struggles this season. With little at stake, players exhibited a carefree attitude, contrasting the urgency typically felt in high-stakes matches. Amorim criticized the absence of competitive tension, suggesting that with both clubs in inconsistent form, the game lacked intensity. City is fighting for a top-four finish, while United has little to gain, only pride, as they languish in 13th place. Amorim recognized improvements but acknowledged the significant gap between his team and their rivals.
Both teams aren't fighting for the title that changed the game. You can make a funny game but that feeling of not losing a point is not here.
We need to fight for big things. If we were fighting for big things the feeling would be completely different.
On the line for City was a boost to their hopes of finishing in the top four - below their pre-season expectations but a real uncertainty.
I understand looking at the opponents there is a big gap but as a leader I can't say we're going to face this gap.
