Demechelis, take a bow son. Take a bow

 

[mancan92]

This has really made my weekend. I can't even begin to describe how much better I feel about the world.

Martial and Rashford were incredible. Mata and Lingard, very good. It was the front four that impressed me the most today (front five if you include Demechelis).

In defence, only Smalling looked United level. Aguero is one the best players in the world but he was marshalled brilliantly all game. Darmian, Rojo and Blind need to look at themselves.

Huh? Blind was our best defender today. Smalling should have got sent off.

 

[Jonnymufc]

It is another false dawn. We all know it.

It's impossible to not think that but we've got to hope haven't we? My ideal (given current circumstances) end to season is win the cup, finish 4th and let LVG bow out with pride before appointing Jose.

Will it happen? Very possibly not but really hope it does

 

[FC Ronaldo]

The unexpected wins are the best wins.

 

[adamwest]

Demechelis, take a bow son. Take a bow

Oh he bowed alright. Rashford sat him on his arse!!!

Great win.

 

[HabeasC]

A very much needed win. Rashford did brilliantly and Martial and Smalling were also very good. The fact we still won despite the ridiculous refereeing is itself a massive achievement.


Random question, but when is De Bruyne coming back. He was starting to look good for them before he got injured. Think he will be a big factor for them next year under Guardiola.

 

[Mani]

Perfectly executed plan.Great win.

 

[Man-United]

Why did he sub Rojo?

 

[Irrational.]

Pellegrini sulks and walks out of the post match interview!

He's cracking up!

 

[Tincanalley]

They didn't half punt and hope so many shots.

Navas

 

[Devil may care]

CB partnership was excellent although Smalling could have been sent off, however we should have had a pen so honors even in the befitting from ref feck ups department. I also thought Rashord and Martial were excellent up top, they are so threatening with their pace and skill, great to watch. I also thought Lingard had a good game and while Carrick is a liability when we are out of possession, he was good on the ball and did seem to be talking to and o0rganging the younger players.

I have to say though that bar Aguero their lot don't look like they give a shit anymore, I guess it's because he's the only one who is certain to be a main player under Pep.

 

[Dr. Funkenstein]

Same old shit

Screwed by the ref
Can't play two decent halfs after another
Either playing to slow or too fast and loosing possession
Wasteful in passing and chances

We should have been above WHU on goal difference

 

[Tincanalley]

This just summarises LVG's philosophy. This is his archetypal game, where we make something of each chance, half-chance even.

Delighted for Rashford - his play belies his years. What a gem we have on our hands. Some of the link-up play between him, Lingard and Martial was awesome.

If not for the bottler Oliver, we could've made this a much more comfortable victory. Though he did even out that bottle-job with the non-sending off of Smalling.

I'm just praying this isn't another false dawn.

That comment n'aint one bit irrational.

 

[Annihilate Now!]

Why did he sub Rojo?

Your choices are:

a) He was crap
b) He was tired
c) Van Gaal gets off on substituting full backs
d) All of the above

 

[Mani]

Moving Darmian to LB would cost us.

 

[Striker10]

People need to stop asking if 4th is on. Let's take it a game at a time. Good performance. We played well first half and dug in during the second. Nice goal.

 

[Sandikan]

Pellegrini thinks they dominated from the first minute

what a laugh

 

[Irrational.]

That comment n'aint one bit irrational.

I think I need a name change.

 

[clarkydaz]

Pellegrini thinks they dominated from the first minute

what a laugh

think he just meant the first minute

 

[Oaencha]

Well played sir. That has to have been at least 60/1 with the bookies.

 

[Raw]

[MDFC Manager]

Pellegrini thinks they dominated from the first minute

what a laugh

Wtf?

 

[Irrational.]

Look at the youngsters coming through: Rashford, Martial, TFM, Wilson, Shaw, Mitchell, Januzaj, Pereira... All 20-ish.

City? Kelechi IpcsjfpkwmepoqwdpkmaskdaspisadpSODJPADFPAKMDFAskdnsdacho.

Elite Development Squad my left buttcheek.

 

[Djemba-Djemba]

Where's Noel Gallagher?

Doesn't he normally do an interview after City games? Or is it just when they win?

Pray harder.

This is about the time of day that he gets his head removed from his own arse.

 

[VanGaalEra]

Navas

Reminds me so much of Valencia with his crossing

 

[Sandikan]

Why did he sub Rojo?

cos he can't last more than 60mins these days

 

[The United Irishman]

Not to be a moodkiller, but this game was more of a case of city losing it than us going for the win....

Rubbish it was brilliant defensive display in the second.

 

[jderbyshire]

Well played sir. That has to have been at least 60/1 with the bookies.

I have a rule about not betting on United games... Kinda wished I'd broken it this one time!

 

[Yorkeontop]

Enjoy this performance and win for now, but yes we are predictably unpredictable.

Next two league games are Everton and Spurs - I haven't got a fecking clue how they will work out. We could end with 6 points or 0.

We do ok against teams willing to come out and play us, results wise any way.

 

[RDCR07]

[ADJUDICATOR]

Pellegrini is the best thing to have ever happened to Manchester Derbies. Get in.

 

[Yorkeontop]

The irony of Pep's announcement derailing City's top 4 hopes is just too much.

They did, until the 8th.

 

[RaptorSlo]

So good brilliant win we needed it more than ever. Top 4 still within reach now from that result but only just, we always fluff it against the crap teams whereas city are flat track bullies and blow teams like Norwich etc away.

Yep, they totally blew Norwich away last round with that 0-0.

 

[Sunny Jim]

Try thicker condom

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

 

[Sandikan]

Try thicker condom

I think 60mins would be plenty for that, might get a bit sore no?
