I just watched a half half due to my shit stream. Anyone got a link to PM me pls???
PLEASE
PLEASE
Manchester City v Manchester United
- Thread starter Red Defence
- Start date
I wish we could play 2 upfront, they are playing it and we're getting dominated
If Berbatov would've played as well as Rooney this season and had a poor first half against City there wouldn't be 10 threads on how crap he is.
He's all over actually. Free role.
We're getting dominated?
They haven't had a single chance from open play!
Gibson has made some decent tackles and been occasionally useful. Giggs has not. I know it won't happen, but Nani on for Giggs at the half would be fantastic.
Apparently he was confronted by City fans when he arrived at the council house
Gibson and Giggs have been shit, otherwise it's decent enough. Get Nani on early in the second half and really go for it !
In no way shape or form are we being dominated
Usually such a sensible poster Boss but ... what?
is it just me or has Rooney put on a few, during his injury lay off??
Totally correct
Played pretty well, better than I expected. But Rooney and Giggs not really on-song.
So essentially he is playing in the middle as the free role starts from there. Most of his area stats show he is playing in the middle.
If anyone is playing on the left it's Fletcher.
Scholes and Valencia have been excellent.
If Berbatov had played as well as Rooney and Giggs have done for United he would be starting.
Giggs started on the left and it seems Fletcher is covering the space as Giggs has been everywhere.
Anyhow.
Well we've got speed and flair on the bench with Nani, Obertan and Rafa so we're ok atm.
That tackle from Scholes on Johnson was ace. And people say he can't tackle....
Berbatov plays consistently poor that's why he gets slated, there is no comparison to Roons and Giggs.
I think its NANI TIME!
Well said.
Fixed.
Let's hope for Nani at some point in the second half.
City are too rigid. They also look a bit anxious and overawed by the occasion.
Adebayor drives me mad. He's big, strong and a powerful runner but he's never got his head screwed on and never gets in the fecking box. If he had a brain he'd be dangerous.
I can't see City getting anything out of this game. I think a Gibson or Feltcher goal will open this game up and you may even add a second late on.

Are we not? They are having the ball for large periods and we seem to be feeding off scraps whilst they have all their men pushed right up constantlyUsually such a sensible poster Boss but ... what?
he accidentally got the ball
You're right about Fletcher covering space but Giggs has been primarily in the middle playing off Rooney.
He can tackle until he gets there too late and then......
i hope we don't dearly regret those chances Rooney and Giggs missed...
id like Rafael and Nani to come on at some point
Don't do a Modric on me
Isn't it 9 goals in past 12 starts? 12 goals in 21 starts in the league this season, playing off the striker. Compare that to Gerrard/Lampard when discounting penalties.
Giggs has been consistently poor for a month or two.
Decent half but the missed chances are so frustrating. We've definately been the better side but haven't made it count.
As long as he continues trying to shoot from the half way line, he'll struggle to get one..
What
that was an excellent half from the lads. we are controlling the game as much as can be expected away from home in such a big derby and scholes is a cut above in midfield. giggs has put in a great shift despite it not quite happening for him up front. but he is trying things and sooner or later something will come off. think people on here should concentrate on the fact that our lads are in control of a game many thought we would struggle in.
a little more luck upfront and we will get the goal our play deserves. Come on United
