Derby - Live Thread

First topic message reminder :

So, not long to go before we know the teams. I think we should definitely be playing with 1 striker up front and use someone behind Aguero, maybe TLF.

Zaba..............Vinny.................DeM.................Clichy..

Navas..........................Milner...................Nasri........

We just can't let them score. Not for confidence, the PL or bragging rights.

[blueboy]

He's a prick.

[blueboy]

Dzeko....what a fuck-nut!

[Topdawg]

How many chances do we want?

[Guest]

How fucking hard work was that. Love a derby win but MP what planet are you on?

Ref was a joke too.

[blueboy]

That wasn't great to watch. Completely dominating the game, making loads of chances, then MP fucks about with the team and we could have drawn/lost the game.....that's panic management.

Awful.

And Aguero wasn't happy.

Thought Clichy was MOM....brilliant today.

[Topdawg]

Clichy was lucky not to get a yellow early on. That would really have affected his game I think.

We should have hit them for 6 especially with a man sent off.

We missed a hatfull of chances and still look far too open when we lose the ball.

A lucky win in then end.

[blueboy]

Missed chances again...story of our season so far.

But when you have Aguero in top form, you don't bring him off for that useless cunt in Dzeko. He's pathetic.

[Wensdi]

A much improved Utd side - they were down to 10 men and put up a fight.  Still - they couldn't score and we should have had at least one penalty if not two.  Glad for the win.  Don't understand why he took Milner off and Jovetic is much better than Edin who'sis hopeless.  Still - 3 pts - a derby win and Nasri's back.  Hope Silva gets well soon.

[Topdawg]

You take two workers off (Jovetic and Milner) and put on two guys whose work ethic is questionable and the game totally changes. Not a great piece of strategic thinking there.

[Topdawg]

Has LvG got his head up his arse? He says that Chelsea and City are the best two teams in the league and the difference between them and Utd is zero!!!

[leopold]

I don't get why Milner was taken off either. We looked weaker without him. Clichy did well against Di Maria.

[shakencity]

Quite strange to leave Dzeko upfront on his own, when he's less mobile than anyone else in the team.

MP really needs to learn how to close games out, those substitutions so very nearly cost us.

[Nijinsky]

Pell says the team lost it's focus once we had gone 1 up.

I fear that unless and until he realises the reason for loosing focus was the fact that he put that nob head on and took off Milner off, we are going to struggle against any premier or CL team

Great result today though
