Oh for God's sake. And I get grief for not apparently not being a fuckin City fan.
Sure lets get rid of the manager as well while were at it. Can't believe people are actaully having a go at Given. What would you of liked him to do. Clearly you've never once played in goals before. I mean, for the first goal yesterday, he did well and forced Giggs? out wide, unfortunately the ball still managed to come back in and they scored from it, nothing he could have done.
The second goal, for him to have come out and smother it, which people seem to think he should have done, he would have needed to run threw a couple of City defenders and a few United ones for that, and the 3rd goal, again there were City defenders and United players in front of him, and the flight of the ball went litterally all the way over to Rooney, bended it a little bit, it wasn't a diving header the ball was almost behind Rooney there wasn't a chance in hell that if Given went for that ball that he would have made it.
Every player who talks about Given talks about the confidence he brings and how well he comands the box around him,
“He’s always shouting, encouraging and organising - and when he says something, I listen! As a defender, it gives you great confidence to relax and play your normal game.”..That's from Boyata from a few weeks ago like and the same thing all time time.
And any report I read last night said the same.
Given-A real calming influence at the back..etc.
But hey, what would they know about it. I'm sure a few City fans are much more knowledgeable, I suppose some would do whatever it takes to have a scapegoat. For some unknown reason Given is the one for the derby, now apparently he's not good enough at all.
And did no one see Given out talking to the ref last night a lot of times, and at one point he was the only City player the ref would talk to.
And they call me a fuckin rag, and then go and criticise a player who was one of the only reasons we were in the tie in the first place.
