Manchester City vs. Manchester United

Will SAF make a change at Half time or will he wait customary 60 mins even if we need a sub badly before?
 
Terrible first half. Press them for 5 minutes, then get forced back & chasing the game for 40.
 
We are inviting pressure. We know they're dangerous on the break but that shouldn't dictate our game. We should play to our strengths and that is to keep the ball and use the wings. We've done non of that.
 
Harsh on park. He has closed down all over our half.the problem tonight is we are up against a better side

He's closed down, by Toure and Barry just shrug him off. Every time he gets the ball he either is let down by poor touch, poor pass, or poor strength.
 
Time to get out the big guns and hammer them. Thought we did well for a while, got tired and slackened off
 
Didn't like the look of the team, personally I've always thought that if we're going 433 against a good team than you need Carrick and Fletcher in the middle, then you can play around with the third. Park started alright but as we've said often this season he fades out early and doesn't have the strength or technique to play people in, in the final third which is a problem when we're only gonna get up the pitch rarely with this formation.

Thought scholes has been great so far though, done what he could. Personally think we should get Rooney to drop in to Parks role, Welbeck up top and Valencia/Young for giggs.

Yeah but Fletcher's injured so there's not much we can do, Cleverley doesn't have the tactical nous. Nothing wrong with the selection at all, just haven't kept the ball well enough. City have had far more of the ball but not really created anything. Inexcusable to concede from a set-piece though.
 
Some fecking embarrassing posts on here. It's one fecking nil you babies. One. One. And it came after 45 minutes of not being able to score. All it takes is one move and we're back in it.

It is top, top stuff, even for one of these car crashes.
 
Park has hounded Toure but why do we drop Valencia who has been great this season. PLaying for a draw is no longer an option so lets have a go at least.
 
Valencia and Welbeck on for Giggs and Park. Let's make them defend for a bit.
 
Some derring do required, fortune favours the brave and all that. Welbeck and Tony on, get at them, move the play up the pitch a bit. We need something to get the blood pumping. Come on, Fergie.
 
Toures been controlling this game, Park hasn't been able to stop him so what's the point of playing him centrally?

Valencia needs to come on.
 
The sad thing is im sure SAF fielded Jones, Smalling and Ferdinand at the back to specifically combat any threats they might throw at us from set pieces and corners. To concede in that manner puts us in a very very very bad position to come back and draw let alone win this match.
 
Park looks out of his depth and with the goal, is surplus. It's a big ask for him to get his first start since January against City away. He's done admirable but we need more attack.

Valencia please. More directness. Move Giggs to Park's role.
 
Frogie will win mastermind a comeback and win this, Manchester is by grace of god champion, go reds ima rootin 4 u.
 
it is because of the tactics that we haven't kept the ball

No it isn't. It is because Giggs is shit at keeping the ball on a good day and Park has been truly horrific. Why bring back a player after a lengthy absence, an enforced absence because his form been so awful this season, and then put him in the middle of the park against a man mountain in Toure in the biggest game of the season.

Utterly bizarre.
 
If Park could have stayed on his feet then our possession might have counted or something. Off at half time or we're done I'm afraid.
 
Will SAF make a change at Half time or will he wait customary 60 mins even if we need a sub badly before?

He has said himself he doesn't believe in subs at HT because he wants to give the players a chance to improve in the second half but he makes a odd exception sometimes.
 
Were to weak in the middle, this has been coming you can't keep getting away with no investment in there. We are being completely outclassed its embarrassing. Problem is the Glazers are thinking how they can screw more money out of the club while City's owners are thinking how much to invest to take them to the next level.

Suicide, Giggs and Scholes in midfield together, feck that.
 
For all of Fergie's experience, how can he make the out of the world mistake of playing Park, a player who has not been starting for god knows how long in such a high intensity game?????

He's lost it. Sorry to sound negative, but we have thrown the title away. I will watch the remainder of this match with blind hope, but my head tells us it's gone as much as my heart says otherwise.
