The Manchester Derby Pre Match Discussion Thread

[Balti]

Aguero and Balotelli up front for me

and me

They have 7th worst defence in the league.. if we could find some of last season's magic, we could batter them.

Come on City, they're due to be battered

Balotelli loves this type of game

 

[Vinjay]

No indication of who issued this gag order to the players but it wasn't Mancini. The assumption could be that it was Soriano or TB but never heard of such policy while they were at Barcelona before Madrid games.

I'd definitely start Balotelli in the Derby.

Can't make my mind up on which one out of Tevez or Aguero to partner Mario though.

The only debate should be who is going to partner Sergio
The big games he should play every time

Like I have mentioned before

If all fit hart,kompany,yaya,silva and sergio for the big games without question

The rest can fight it out to impress the manager

-----------------------------Hart---------------------------

Zaba------------Kompany--------Nasty----------Clichy------

-----------------------------Barry------------------------

---------Milner-------------Yaya--------------Silva------------

-------------------Aguero-------------Tevez--------------

Exactly what I'd go with. Milner can cover Yaya when he makes those bursts forward.

almost agree but Balo simply loves playing the Rags so i would start with him and Tevez as he also has a huge grudge against them - get the best out of certain players using them in the correct games...

United will be really up for this so let's hope we are too. It will be a case of whose attacking options are more potent. This bad habit of conceding first needs to be rectified. I think this will be the closest derby for a while.

I totally agree but then again, would anyone complain if Tevez started instead of Aguero?

For me, I'd definitely start Balotelli and I'd be happy with either Tevez or Aguero.

This game will be won in midfield we need to pack midfield and stamp our class on the game.play aguero up top and tevez playing in a creative midfield roaming role .silva left nasri right and barry and yaya defensive mid and we win.
