United (A) Post Match Thread

The substitution of Sane changed the game, making us more expansive. That's not to say Sane changed the game (goal aside), rather it opened us up.

I thought a midfield of Silva, Gundogan and Fernandinho made it look rather congested in the middle.


I feel the need to laud Gundogan yet again, because he gets a bit of stick on social media from City fans; possibly some of whom "didn't get" Garry Barry either.

Once Sane came on, Gundogan, the big game player, stepped up yet again.

He knows where to position himself, his awareness of his surroundings is superb and knows when and where to move for the next pass.

Fernandinho went off and Gundogan just slipped seamlessly into that slightly deeper role.

He's had an extended run in the team recently and he's been fantastic in every game and City are reaping the rewards.

I have huge admiration for those players who fulfil that type of role in the middle; Barry, Fernandinho, Kante, Makelele, Keane, etc; it is a thankless job but an absolutely critical piece of the jigsaw.

Totally agree on your assessment of Gundogan, he needs to be the main man in midfield to shine and showed how good he is once the changes were made. He stopped so many counter attacks last night and I would say he was easily our best player in the second half.
 
At the game last night t half time I got talking to a cockney bloke and a Canadian girl.

£500 she had paid for the 2 tickets they had for the game.

He being the gentleman had paid for the hotel. He would not confirm where, I reckon Sachas.

Anyway, she booked these back in January...

Fair play they were decked out in City shirts and scarves. :)

Not really pisisng on the parade mate just an honest assessment of last night. We got in good positions in the first half but were playing too much tippy tappy stuff. Don't get me wrong we improved and I'm happy we got the result but it should have been an easier game to watch than it was.

I didn't watch it but from I have read and seen of the highlights, I reckon Utd gave it everything in the first 30 mins and as their intensity wore off, City's quality came through.

I won't stay away from your posts in the slightest. If you post hysterical shite, I will comment on it. As for feeling "bullied" on the internet, grow/man up ffs.

If by grown up you mean calling people names on internet, no thank you! What about Sane coming on at 1-0?
 
Sums up a Perfect Night
