Match Thread | Manchester United vs Manchester City (25/10/15)

Very tight so far.

Two senseless bookings and some poor passing and decision-making from KdB.

Looked solid at the back, however.

Sums us up. From the kick-off, a succession of utterly pointless backwards and sideways passes, ending with Otamendi just twatting an aimless ball up to them, two seconds later they've got a corner. Fucking dire.

Agreed. I'm surprised he didn't switch with Sterling, but maybe he was thinking more about defensive solidity and he's instructed them to keep their shape.

well with the amount of the ball Valencia had that didn't work very well did it

What is the matter with Ginger Kev?

 

[Damocles]

The ONLY positive people can come up with about Bony is that he holds the ball up well?

It's a good job he can though as he only ever makes himself available fo balls straight into him. The lack of options for our midfielders and wingers when Bony is playing is depressing.

Now, prove me wrong and bang in a hattrick Wilf :)

He hasn't completed a pass since the 29th minute. He's only been in possession 13 times and immediately lost it 9 times.

"Great hold up play" is fan language which means "he's a bigt man up front and I haven't seen him do anything so I'll say something that sounds vaguely intelligent". His performance doesn't bear this out.

0-0 written all over this.

Anyone who wants Bony taken off needs their head checked, only Dinho and Kolarov have been better.

0-0 back to the top I'd take that right now

 

[bluefish]

0-2 city... feel it in me water.

 

[jimharri]

Fuck me, it's quiet. I can clearly hear a plane buzzing around there.

 

[Yates]

Navas on for Bony, with Sterling up top and De Bruyne out on the left or vice versa?

 

[Luck95]

Boring game so far
