Derby Pre Match thread

I used to expect to beat them when we were 'shit'.

I'm not changing my thoughts now.

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.

United score by boring teams to death aka controlling the game, even with Silva out, City should have no problem taking that boring control from United like Arsenal did and dicked them hard. I really do hope both the oldies start in CM with Elbows and straw heed up top.

I think the result against Sevilla will play a part in this game. A loss in Europe tends to have a negative effect on our Premier League form. Merlin and Kun are obviously massive blows but De Bruyne and Bony are capable of being just as good as those two on their day. The fact that they have to travel to Russia and back while we are playing at home should be advantageous for us. Also we are a completely different team from last season, we have a new dimension to our attack and we are much more motivated to win the league. Vinny's return is vital as we need his leadership back, he knows what this game means to the fans and is passionate about being the number one club in Manchester. Also I think we'll want revenge from last season.

true, but it seems it wouldn't take much for a couple of punts upfield, and before you know it Depay/Rooney/the new Lenny Henry are clean through one on one against Joe or the last centre half. Thats what kept happening at BMG, away from home against an inferior team and a bunch of chancers.

Anyone else heard the news about Louis van Gaal?

Really? KDB of course but Bony can be as good as Aguero on his day? wow.

Bony is obviously not as good as Aguero. What i'm saying is that Kun is only human so naturally he will have the odd bad game and if Bony can perform to the best of his ability then we can survive one game without Sergio.

Easier if you just say it ... instead of a pointless question ... what is it?

I hate derbies . The last 10 minutes of the 6-1 were about the first time I've ever felt relaxed in one. I always expect to get battered but nowadays those rag fookers feel exactly the same.

On that basis I agree, hopefully the Bony from Swansea rocks up Sunday and causes them hell!
