My reasons why I’m confident we’ll win

We’re better than them
Our current form is better than theirs
They have just had to play a much harder CL game than we did
They had to play a full strength team in a match that will have took it out of them
They were very fortunate so have used up their luck
They were away so wouldn’t have got to their beds until 3am
We rested key players and subbed off other key players
We are due a win against them at home

It was the result, it was through our missed chances not the ref not the tactics, plain and simple game should have been dead at half time, we fucked it up no one else

No it wasn’t just that. There was the clearest penalty and sending off you will see, young in Aguero, did you miss that? The tactics were fine, we were unlucky, and the ref was a cunnt

Everything is in our favour, well apart from the fact that you missed out Altrincham Anthony being the ref

Just said wasn't the tactics, read the post properly, it was clearly the missed chances, sterling puts his chances away and then fuck all ref could do about it, without making it obvious, fact is we shot ourselves in the foot, 2 0 up at half time could easily have been 4 or 5, yet we lost 3 2

As I said, maybe you didn’t understand, the ref was a cunnt
 
Going into the Derby things on the pitch couldn't be better. Scoring for fun. Keeping clean sheets. Goals spread throughout the team. Most of the squad in top form. Best coach in the world.

So why I am anxious about Sunday ? I've got this nagging feeling that maybe our recent opposition hasn't given us tough enough games. We've played soft, weak teams and although we've battered them, we've not been tested enough to go into a Derby against the Rags fully hardened for the battle. It could be that we blow them away in the first half hour but if we don't they will wait, be patient, stay in the game and wait for those lapses in concentration and period of sloppiness we've still not fully eradicated from our play. They do have the players to exploit such opportunities much better than Shaktar, Southampton and Burnley did. They've played Juve twice - top opposition and also come from behind to beat Newcastle and Bournemouth. We took our foot of the gas last season and they took advantage. Of course, last season it didn't matter. We won the league the following weekend. This time we can't rely on that happening. So although I expect us to win, I know it won't be easy. The players need to know it's going to be a hell of a fight and prepare themselves mentally and physically for that. I'm not bigging them up or diminishing our recent achievements but it could be our most difficult game of the season so far. Having said all that I hope we batter them.

I wouldn't say we were unlucky, we totally collapsed when they scored that first goal. We thought the game was won by half time and switched off.
