First time I have watch this fixture for years in fact cant every remember watching it before. But as the game had no baring on us I thought I would give it ago.
Thought the standard of play was poor. The ball retention was shocking. I even posted as the match was going on that my missus said " why do they keep passing to the other team ?". By that she meant both teams lol. They was s spell when where both teams kept getting the ball than 5 seconds later passed to the opposition.
No team really want to keep the ball for long, just looking to hoof it long.
I couldn't really think of any of those players that would get into City squad.
If according to Sky that is the biggest fixture in the premier league, Sky better be hoping that they fine some quality from somewhere soon lol.
The game had plenty of goals but the overall standard was poor.
Said before , every time the camera went to paperboy he was just sat in his chair looking confused and lost. This was the first time I have watched a whole utd game this season. Is that all the paperboy does ? Most managers stand in their box and are up and down like a yoyo. He looked totally lost lol.
Perhaps us City fans have been so spoiled with Pep and our players. It's clear that Pep and the players should be receiving far more praise because City are light years ahead of these two hoofball teams. Our players control the pass, our close control is great, we always look for a pass.
Lots of teams now try to play the Pep way. It sort of a shame that Wimbledon dont get the praise for creating style of play that the dippers and tags play !.
