So will we.City will inevitably raise their game though and score a goal or two.
We now have great players and a great manager.
Don't under-estimate Man Utd.

Probably, he is just a big jessie.Is YaYa fit for Sunday ?
Now that Silva is probably out, we can put our big guy Fellaini to do a job on him all game.Probably, he is just a big jessie.
Yaya will murder Fellaini. Let's hope he is outNow that Silva is probably out, we can put our big guy Fellaini to do a job on him all game.![]()
I've heard it's Michael OliverWho is the ref for this game?
They'll have to play better but the notion that they're game raisers against United is misleading. It suggests the norm is mediocrity.Do you think City can easily beat United without raising their game from the last 3 games they have played so far against CSKA , West Ham & Newcastle?
Isn't Falcao still injured?Start Falcao ffs.
RVP needs a rest and is predictable.
Falcao needs gametime and is still highly unpredictable for our opponents. No one really knows what he can do at ManUtd. If he is fit and on form, he is one of the best goal getters in this game. And if Rooney and Co. feed him with enough balls he can harm City big!
Won't matter, he's been shit.Is YaYa fit for Sunday ?
99% sure he will but there's also rumours of Toure being out, if those two are out and we're serious about competing for top 4 home or away we have to win.Is Silva out then?
If Yaya and Silva is out that helps us tremendously, saying thats those cnuts always play lights out against us99% sure he will but there's also rumours of Toure being out, if those two are out and we're serious about competing for top 4 home or away we have to win.
Not just because of one and half decent performances. It is because of the quality of oppositon too and also our lack of a physical presence. I don't think anyone would choose Fellaini to start against lower table teams. They would rather Herrera or more creative talents.I am AMAZED at how many teams feature Fellaini. One and a half okay performances and suddenly he walks into everyone's first team. Madness.
What does Steven Gerrard say?![]()
Drone invasion if we're losing, could it work?
Only have the back page I'm afraid.Looking forward to this game, but feel like City's shit run and their injuries are lulling us into a false sense of security. As long as we keep up the improvements, no sloppy passing and defending as a unit, we should be ok, but City have enough experience of battering us in the last couple seasons to make this too close to call. Either way, cannot wait till Sunday.
What does Steven Gerrard say?
People always talk about Fellaini's physical presence - and yes he is a big lad - but tell me exactly how he used his physical presence to our benefit against Chelsea. I've watched, rewatched and then rewatched again the game and he didn't exactly bully anybody.Not just because of one and half decent performances.

This is when we have Cleverly, Anderson,Fletcher and Carrick as mid. Now its a different ball game folks. In recent games with Manc shitty we are dominated in mid, now its not the case. We cannot get bullied with the current mid.If Yaya and Silva is out that helps us tremendously, saying thats those cnuts always play lights out against us
His contract runs out in May and if Liverpool don't give him a new contract he'll look at other options and he won't be retiringWhat does Steven Gerrard say?

Physicality is not just in pushing people. For me the best way Fellaini uses his physicality is by not giving the ball away under pressure and also chesting down aerial balls from the defense which he did against WBA and chelsea. He did actually nullify fabregas in the chelsea match. Again, if we had a better option like a younger fletcher then we would have used that or a mythical creature like an on form anderson. But since we don't we will have to go with Fellaini.People always talk about Fellaini's physical presence - and yes he is a big lad - but tell me exactly how he used his physical presence to our benefit against Chelsea.

So if he's not in there to physically dominate teams - I'm still to see him do that in a United shirt - then just what is he there to do?
He was arguably our best player against West Brom and Chelsea, if that doesn't deserve a starting spot I dunno what does, especially considering he was absolutely quality in both fixtures. He was a plan B against West Brom which worked and he was a tactical plan against Chelsea which worked perfectly (Eliminating Fabregas and bullying the midfield). City have size to their advantage in midfield and no better man to send to battle than Fellaini.I am AMAZED at how many teams feature Fellaini.

I see what you are saying but our midfield isnt what you would call bedded in but yes we do have an upgrade in talent.This is when we have Cleverly, Anderson,Fletcher and Carrick as mid. Now its a different ball game folks. In recent games with Manc shitty we are dominated in mid, now its not the case. We cannot get bullied with the current mid.
