Re: Manchester United VS Manchester City
I think its likely we will go along with exactly what we did at Arsenal... ensure we don't lose. My concern about the tactics is how long it takes us to finally settle into the game, every game we take a good 10 mins to get into gear, the same happened at Arsenal... fortunately they didnt manage to score, they hit the post on numerous occasions and when we got 15 mins into the game we finally settled down and kept them out.
I would say we should go all out at them for the first 10 mins, put them under pressure, keep possession and try nab a goal... after that, do what we did at Arsenal and put everyone behind the ball. We don't seem to have a problem when we just attack attack attack, its when we finally try and defend after scoring we let them run at us and queue up to take shots.
Final 10 mins of the game is the toughest... rags are known to scrape goals around then and we have also conceeded many this season from around it. If everyone does their job right and we don't make stupid changes (Vieira & Jo on) we should have no problem winning the game.
