We've looked quality at times in this half. At other times we've been frustrating as fuck. That goal at the start, fucking hell, doesn't make sense at all - fucking shocking marking and no closing down whatsoever. We should be 2, 3-0 up ffs.

 

N'Zogbia - mint player, he's fucking everywhere. Superb for that fifteen minute period where we really went for it. Milner's done well on the left. Butt's having a great game too, winning everything. Martins has done alright out there actually, wouldn't be against seeing him go into the centre though, with Smith being taken off. Would be a hell of a re-shuffle though by the looks of things. Good finish from Viduka.

 

We're letting ourselves down though. Barton makes Martins' touch look exceptional. Barton's looked alright when he's on the ball, around the edge of the box, but he can't receive a fucking pass.

 

We really should wrap this up in the second half.

Martins passing has been woeful..given the ball away 3 times in a row now...If he's going to start on the right he needs to look like he wants to run at the cd's every time to keep them guessing...Not chopping in shit crosses etc...He really isn't contributing much at all.

 

Best players so far imo Smith and Zoggy.

 

We'll win this no doubts. :angel:

Very impressed with N'zZogbia. Been our biggest threat. Martins looks wasted on the right, Smith is playing his heart out. Barton needs to come off for emre, though I'm not sure if Emre will be able to handle the physical pressure put on by derby. Main problem is that, though we are continuously attacking, Derby's physicality is constantly putting us under pressure. We need to spread the ball more and try to control the pace of the game, I think moving Milner to the right with Duff coming onto the left, and Emre coming on for Barton will allow us to do this.

Barton doesn't pay any attention to what's going on behind him whatsoever.

Martins isn't capable of doing anything with the ball.

Viduka up front is invicible, and the only thing Smith does is whining at the refree.

N'Zogbia is the only one looking dangerous on the ball, we're lacking creativity and pace on the ball.

Martins has done little wrong. He's looked quite good - got himself into proper winger's positions, helped Beye out quite a lot and Butt/Milner have picked him out a couple of times. I wouldn't be surprised to see him score today, Martins.

 

Smith's not done much at all imo.

A little more control and we would be cruising, especially with the obvious penalty.

 

Milner, N'Zogbia, Butt and Beye. All four outstanding.
