The Derby Post Match Thread

Decent result but could have done so much more. Disappointed with pellegrini for playing KDB on the right and then not switching him and Sterling after it was clear he was struggling. Bony woeful, give Kelechi a chance there really is nothing to lose in doing so. Otamendi and kompany were great at the back, has the makings of a great partnership.

I want to find out who it was in the match thread who said that Bony & Kolarov were our two best players today :)

Wouldn't bother. They've taken him away to a padded cell.

Result OK I suppose, but even with Dave & Kun out we should have posed more of a threat than we did, particularly in the second half when we were really poor.

Yaya needs to play CM and, as someone in the match thread stated, we need to accept his defensive limitations. Either that or don't play him at all.

KDB should be in the middle. Bony should be playing for someone else.

Flacid, turgid, zilch going forward but solid at the back, Komps and Otamendi were great and Hart showed up when needed, Dinho love him as per usual. Draw is a good result in the basis of the game but Silva and Aguero can't come back quicker. Oh and 8 minutes for Iheanacho was disappointing to say the least, regardless of his age, the lad must be raising the peoples eyebrow at Bony getting more time than himself.

Bony, just...

The youngsters are never going to get a decent chance under MP. At least Lingard had 20 minutes of play.

Great eh

Good result for us , even though should have taken yaya off and put Kevin in centre , bony was poor

Good to get a clean sheet again

Top of the table. Much better point for us!

 

[whp.blue]

Great point considering how poor some of our players were

at least we stopped them going above us and it means we will take four points off them this season

have to say Yaya played like an old man today his career is coming to an end very quickly with days like today

I suppose a draw is not the end of the world. The main positive is the defense. We looked solid and suffocated them for most of the game. The curious thing however is the way we went away mentally in the second half. Apart from Navas who is always honest and hardworking, the rest of the attacking players were very poor. Pellegrini was also too conservative with his substitutions. I think Kelechi would have benefited with more game time.

Nonetheless this point is a good point. Next game in the PL is at home and we should look to kick on from there.
