    Well maybe you should go also then because you couldn't see driving home the other night because you don't even wear your glasses on TV in case you get slagged off so you just stick to specsavers and I'll stick to posting.

    Joking? Fellaini was basically in their box completely unmarked. If Rooney had played him in then I would expect Fellaini to score.

    Yeah he isn't a left back. Nwvas is very fast but there's no way he should be putting that much space between himself and Blind for that first chance.
     
    Just when you thought this man couldn't be hated any more... he really is a grade A troll.

    Young and Fellaini our best players in the derby. Who would have thought that a year ago? Started poor, but have gotten better.
     
    Fellaini is just unplayable right now and Young is playing lie an in-form Di Maria.... Dodgy first 10 minutes and we payed for it but some good stuff being played since then.
     
    fecking Kompany staying on for that "tackle" though. How Clattenburg and his linesman can't make the correct call after careful consideration is frankly bullshit. If none of them saw what really happened they are either blind or in piss poor positions - I even think the linesman had an unobstructed view.
     
    Half-time coming at a bad time for us, but hopefully does not break our momentum. We've been in solid control last 15-20min. Even on their counters, we've looked assured and not panic. Also, thank feck LVG emphasized the need to keep our heads. I was half-expecting Valencia and Jones to slide in for a reckless moments during their respective 1v1s. Both came out of it beautifully though.
     
    City targetting Blind's lack of pace. But he combines so well with Young in attack, they are on the same wavelength.

    Some will bitch at any chance they can get with Rooney. Rooneys angle of his run on the recieve was because he could see Valencia steaming down the right side. The player who could have picked out Fellaini was Herrera because of his body shape and direction of movement. We had 2 choices of direction to go and both were good, it really didnt matter which way they went. Nothing wrong with Rooneys choice at all.
     
    We need to keep our shape when defending. They've dragged us all over the place.
     
    So according to Souness, every part of our first goal was a wee bit of luck. :lol:
     
    Blind is having a shocker
    We never had anyone to curtail Toures power, but Fellaini has him matched, great battle between the 2
    Valencia did excellent on that Aguero counter
    Jones seems a bit dodgy

    Would be good if Rojo comes on for blind

    Herrera has been pretty good, wouldnt mind Di Maria for Mata, but in a derby like this , I feel Di Maria wastefulness with the ball could be costly
     
    Should've been a red for kompany that...

    Herrera, young and fellaini have ran the game though. Jones and smalling have been poor IMO. Carrick below par too, looks nervy on the ball. Rooney has done well when he got the ball but has been quiet. More of the same second half though, just so long as it doesn't take us 10 minutes to wake up
     
    Outstanding play from Young and Fellaini. Mata has been pretty good, Herrera and Carrick IMO have been excellent.

    The big worry is our backline breaking down. City as usual are pressing up high and they are getting odd-man counters by the truckload. Blind has been good in the attacking third but he clearly can't keep up with Navas. Valencia made the one big play in covering the left but he seems to not even be there otherwise. City are an excellent team in crossing and this is no time to have a weak game defending the flanks.
