Manchester City v Manchester United

you think we're gonna win the league if we take all 3 points here, i mean i don't think chelsea can get much from the arsenal game
 
could someone describe ball's stamp on ronaldo, i missed it
They are fighting for the ball, Ronaldo was on the floor when Ball gave him a full blooded stamp. A bit like Rooney on Carvalho at the Euro
 
tbh Rooney has been piss poor too....they all have been for the most part

:confused:

i think rooney has done well considering he's playing on the left. its giggs who's been very quiet. on a positive note, rio and vidic look solid, its a shame they missed the milan match

Well, Vida played. Not that well, but he played
 
feckin Ball again, Styles is a prick of the highest order
 
Our movement has been shocking. You just saw it - there was no one to pass it to!

Lucky it's 1-0 :)
 
Whoever does the match review needs to report Styles for his total failure.
 
Need to get Giggs on the left and Roo in the middle.

It's not working the other way round.
 
HT:Not the best.But at the moment it's 3 points and 8 points ahead of the renties.
 
Someone needs to tell Styles there's a difference between letting the game flow, and being a complete fecking pansy
 
How that Ball hasn't got booked we'll never know. He's trying to dominate Ronaldo but is actually making himself look a bit of a knob
 
average half, deserve to be in front, should have been playing with a man advantage after the ball stamp, but 1-0 half time is acceptable.

thought ronnie was missing for most of the first half. defense looks composed. long balls forward to alan smith not working. giggs to the left to the left, and roons back behind smith is the natural change.

its hard to move when there is nowhere to move to. i would like to see carrick and scholes ping it about quicker in the middle. city are not clever enough to be disiplined and will slowly come out. i think we will see lots of city long ball from now on.
 
Terrible game so far. Are we trying to walk City tired? No speed at all in the passing
 
City. Classy bunch, huh?

I think it will be an achievement to come out of this game without any injuries. Numerous blatant attempts to kick the player not the ball, i hope if we are still winning towards the end we bring on Rickardson and get him take out Ball
 
Too easy for a derby game this, City are embarrassing so far.

It's amazing how much better our defence looks with Rio and Vidic back together though

Ball's given a lesson to all in how to be completely owned by your opponent, and humiliate yourself in the process
 
TBH we look fairly comfortable and City's only threats Beasley and Mpenza. Good to see our defence looking solid, but Giggsy has been awful, apart from his crossing
 
Ht-A disappointing performance so far even though we are 1-0 ahead.I expected much much better especially after such less running we had done in the Milan game.
Giggs and Rooney have been awful.Giggs is really showing signs about how old he is getting.Not his fault really tired after a long season.
Ronaldo has been good so far and his confidence has clearly grown after the goal.
Need to score 1-2 more in the second half and need to increase our tempo.
