City - United Post Match Thread

[PhillyBlue]

They were talking before the game about how Navas, Negredo and Fernandinho would be able to handle their first derby but I thought the workrate from the 3 of them was immense and really helped to keep United on the back foot for the first hour. Kompany and Toure fantastic but Nasri was man of the match for me, always available and everything he did with the ball was good. First half passing and movement was some of the best from us in a long time.

Navas was touted as a flying winger but he is more than that.Pellegrini knows what he is capable of and he used him well today not just as a wide player,winger but also tucking in and adding to an already dominant midfield. Negredo showed what he is about today and although he didn't score he gave Vidic a really hard game and I think fully deserved to start ahead of Edin.

Fernandinho is quality and getting better by the game and when Vinnie is there as well it does take some of the defensive role off Yaya to allow him to flourish where he is at his best.

I mean we have a great team when all the players are fit. I hope Vinnie remains fit for the rest of the season. i think to save the fans lots of sleepless nights,the Board needs to go out and get us a world class backup for Vinnie in Janurary. .

I think this is one of the best performance without silva,awesme is the word

Silva who?

Nasri running the show in the way he did for Arsenal. Silva wont be getting in this team.

The first real signs of a different style of play today. Much quicker tempo and as someone wrote earlier, the passing was nowhere near as easy to predict as last season. Zabaleta is back, Kompany was outstanding but Nastasic was no slouch either! Yaya and dinho completely bossed Carrick and Fellaini for an hour and Nasri has got a new lease of life. Negredo is perfect for the premier league and with Aguero and Navas look like they will tear loads of teams apart this season. But a big shout out for Kolarov today, I am not his biggest fan but he stuck to his task and was a bigger threat going forward than Valencia.
But please lads, play every game with the same attitude and we are in for a great season.

Fucking brilliant. Defending was excellent. Absolutely buzzin.

That was quite good admittedly.

Newcastle are probably feeling a lot better now :-)
