Derby Pre Match thread

[buckshot]

City wil blow it in Europe either way so I really don't care about Wednesday. All I ever hope for is to trounce them twice and to see City win the league. Is that too much to ask?

 

[Ricster]

We're better than them, with or without Aguero and Silva

No excuses, come on City!

Nervous already and it's only Monday. A win is huge in terms of killing any momentum they have plus doing it with our injury list would make it even more impressive. Hope we remember how it felt getting dicked last year and use it to smash them

Massively concerned about our defence, every game since our 5 clean sheets has seen the opposition cut through us with ease, several times each game.

Let United do that, and there could be serious problems.

We'll need to score 4 I feel. Time for Toure to take control again.

The referee for this match is gonna be a big thing,I find myself getting obsessed this season with who we get in the middle,I think Dean was awful for us on Saturday as well,but we shall know just after 4pm,probably going to be Clattenberg or Marriner

Both teams will score.
Just hope we score more.
We are so open. Bournemouth and Newcastle both had 4/5 chances that should never have been allowed.
We need to be so much better as a unit defensively and also stop giving the ball away so easily.
Anyone think Dave may be back? He's had a nasty knock but he's not pulled a muscle so maybe after 2 weeks rest he could be a surprise starter??

One game at a time please

One game at a time please

Why

Think it'll be closer than recent years. They might sneak a win due to Pellegrini's poor record against other top 4 sides (chelsea 3-0 aside) but ultimately i doubt the derby will affect the title race.

For once I hope we take our chances because that will mean we will score 10
