Manchester United v Manchester City

[Marcosdeto]

well done giggsy

 

[Berlinknives]

This is where having Smalling, O'Shea and Vidic comes in handy.

 

[Ole's_toe_poke]

Giggs rapes Milner.

 

[Dobba]

Short fecking corners.

 

[Kaos]

Take a normal corner ffs

 

[judge2nd]

c'mon, get in
3 corners in a row

 

[pauldyson1uk]

What's Reina doing out there?

just my opinion

 

[Berlinknives]

Short fecking corners.

Not using the height.

 

[Ole's_toe_poke]

We have Vidic, Smalling and O'Shea in the box and we mess around with short corners.

fecking annoying.

 

[Zarlak]

Evra looked like he couldn't be arsed then when the City player recovered and started running.

 

[Berlinknives]

We have Vidic, Smalling and O'Shea in the box and we mess around with short corners.

fecking annoying.

Also ... didn't Fletch score the first goal last season from a headed corner?

 

[McGrathsipan]

useless scurvy dog tevez.....

 

[Makki]

Nice pass from Smalling. Don't think that was the intended trajectory though.

 

[R. Lim]

All of the midfield 3 that we've selected will be required to be flexible and fulfill different roles throughout the match. They're all more than capable of it and that's the beauty of having talented, intelligent midfielders.

The midfield roles aren't as rigidly assigned as you're implying.

Scholes is still capable of tracking back - you make him sound like a geriatric.

Never said they were rigid, but they've obviously got set roles to play, with one role more crucial than the rest, and Carrick can cover those roles better than Fletcher can IMO.

Of course he can, but that'd easily take away most of his energy for 90 minutes, which isn't something we'd like in a crucial fixture as this, is it?

 

[Ole's_toe_poke]

Carlos Tevez is a blue
is a blue is a blue
he hates United

 

[Makki]

Also ... didn't Fletch score the first goal last season from a headed corner?

First goal last season was Rooney. Fletcher scored two headers after that though.

 

[Justin]

Nani so close with that shot

 

[pauldyson1uk]

nice try from Nani

 

[Makki]

Ooh Nani fires a shot. Well done.

 

[dan_alex]

Nani goes close

 

[Berlinknives]

First goal last season was Rooney. Fletcher scored two headers after that though.

oh right ...

 

[The Taurean]

[Decotron]

[Mockney]

[McGrathsipan]

No shit Captain Brilliant.

When has this happened?

 

[MrMarcello]

That was Ronaldo-esque from Nani.

 

[gbgary]

[prateik]

[Laphroaig]

fecking diving cnuts

 

[Makki]

Cheap free kick, clumsy challenge from O'shea.

 

[Zarlak]

Free kick edge of box, just what we excel at...

 

[Scholesy]

Poor from O'Shea

 

[McGrathsipan]

o shea you dope!

 

[jdmufc]

pretty even this so far

 

[Laphroaig]

Evra looked like he couldn't be arsed then when the City player recovered and started running.

He's always like that.

 

[Makki]

ooh, Evra flapping with his arms there too

 

[Jake]

can anyone pm me a decent stream

 

[Godfather]

Evra and OShea need to wake up

 

[Makki]

Well done by Nani to take the free kick there and stop the counter-attack.
