Match Thread | Man City vs Man Utd (02/11/14)

Yet again a two-man midfield???? Yaya'll be a passenger for 90 minutes.

My thoughts exactly. Invisible man impression coming up.
Can see this not being a city win due to MP's pathetic insistence on 442 and zero ability to adapt.

I've got the match on Sky on the computer and was listening to Radio Manchester but have had to turn that off because they have Albiston 'co-commentating' with Ian Cheeseman..................... what a nasty person he is (Albiston). It's times like this I want to be able to swear!!!

Surely that's not 'in-time' is it?

No, the commentary was 10 seconds behind but it is usually better than listening to the totally biased commentators on Sky. I'm now just watching, as if I was at the match. So shouting at our players. The sooner I get back to the stadium the better!!!

Yaya not defending, not unusual, but also not attacking either which is troubling .

Were basically playing with one man in midfield. Toure is a joke.

He is not mobile enough and is a big 31yr old lump. That does not make Toure a joke, it makes the system a joke.

They've had more possession than they've enjoyed against us in the last two years so far.

No energy from #mcfc at all so far. We have grown used to them dominating early possession in recent games against #mufc. Not today so far..

Can't keep the ball at the moment. Could be a long afternoon for the defence.

 

[pikku]

Without Silva, we just can't keep posession. And pellers never seems to learn, getting outnumbered in the MF.

Correct.
