For a start, the manager got the big calls right before the game. The inclusion of Milner was right, navas was right and so was jovetic and de Michelis. He sent them out there aggressive but (unlike United) controlled and we were easily the better side. It could easily have been 4 or 5 nil and we defended well. When Nasri came on United were on the ropes and it was exactly the right change because big gaps were opening up in midfield, and he put him in a three man midfield in a 433. Soon after he came on he almost created a goal from that very hole.
we needed to get fernandinho on to steady the ship in central midfield, because they were starting to win a few battles there and our back four started panicking in possession. What pellegrini was doing was exactly what you balloons have been on his back for: shoring things up to see out the game.
I know you clowns don't see it like this, but substitutions are not 'he's playing shit, get him off'. They are tactical and that's what today's were. United saw a bit of the ball late on evacuee our back four stopped using the ball properly.
If the changes made had produced the goal they so nearly did (three times) you muppets wouldn't have been quite so desperate to come on here to berate the manager you resent.
Comical. Well done pellegrini for sending the right team out to win your third Derby on the trot. Just when the pressure was on.

Exactly my thoughts. Unbelievable how we win a DERBY and people just come on here and post how shit Pellegrini is !
That's exactly what they are. They've had knives out for pellegrini since he replaced their hero.ArdwickBlue said:KippaxCitizen said:How can people script a series of events that haven't happened?blueinsa said:Like i said. They had their scripts all ready and waiting.
Shame.
Tell you what though, I notice there's no "Pellegrini OUT" thread. So say what you want about the people who have absolute justified doubts and grumbles about him so far this season but he's treated miles miles fucking better than Mancini was on here.
Let people voice their opinions if they want to and stop talking bollocks about scripts that nobody has had and calling it a shame you bloody made arse.
Are we still going on about Mancini?
It sounds like a guy pining for his ex who's moved on and remarried

To be fair though mate, the subs weren't good, bringing Dzeko on was utterly pointless.
Not got a problem with getting Nasri on as you'd expect him to retain possession but bringing Dinho on and releasing Yaya forward would have been the other correct sub.

Okay so we can only presume there were no injuries or resting of players for the cska game, the question should be did we start to play badly because of the subs or would it have happened anyhow due to our recent bad run and the rags going for it in the later stages of the game
I think it's arguable both ways if I'm honest. I suppose it comes down to whether you choose to take the positives rather than the negatives from the performance. Defensively I thought we were much better. We restricted United space when they moved the ball forward and we were compact enough that they rarely threatened. Van Persie, Rooney, and Di Maria were largely anonymous as an attacking threat.
Toure was excellent, Fernando I thought did well as well. Jimmy worked hard but other than inviting the challenge for Smalling's red card he didn't create anything. Navas I thought was marginally better, he gave Shaw a torrid time and got into excellent crossing positions but his delivery wasn't great. Jovetic struggled and Kun was Kun.
Other than the Chelsea game that's the best performance we've put in overall at home. We showed we were two leagues above United for the better part of 70 minutes. We're getting there.

No, I'm not still going on about Mancini directly; my point was that at least those with valid criticisms aren't banging out ridiculous "Pellegrini OUT" threads and are being a bit more normal anout their criticisms.ArdwickBlue said:KippaxCitizen said:How can people script a series of events that haven't happened?blueinsa said:Like i said.
