Hows the match going? Citeh good value for their lead? Do they look like hanging on?

 

(Im not watching it obviously)

 

City doing well. Man U have a lot of the ball but arent creating any clear cut chances.

City just wasted a good 2on2 situation

city have showed how you play against man utd,

 

defend deepish and then break with pace

 

our problem:

 

we can't defend

have no pace

 

Duff and N'Zogbia on the wings and Martins up front is enough pace for any team.

 

We just suck at using pace effectively.

 

 

Duff isn't fast. Neither player can deliver balls like Petrov either.

 

With have one of the most lead legged teams in the Premiership.

 

I find it funny when  people talk about Arsenal not being a particularly pacey team. Everyone of their starting XI is stronger, fitter, faster than ours. We'll get bummed by Manure no question.

 

Duff's hardly slow is he?

 

Not electric fast but give him a couple of yards of a start and he's not gonna get chased down like Milner would for instance.

 

And yeah, we'll almost certainly get bummed by Man U but that wasn't the point I was disputing.

 

Duff's "pace" is deveptive imo, it looks like hes running fast because of his low stance and frequent touches with the ball at feet, but he doesnt actually have real pace, and whatever pace he does have, he doesnt use effectively because hes turned into a gimp of a winger. Good example yesterday when he closed the fullback down, causing the fullback to slip, found himself with acres of space in front of him, yet gets caught by a player who was 5 yards behind him when he picked the ball up.

Duff is far slower than Milner. That's the reason why he never tries to cross.

Ferguson's tactics have been absolutely shite.

 

How can you start a derby with no defensive midfielder? Anderson & Scholes against a midfield five was never, ever going to work. What an arrogant nobhead.

"I think it's time for Fergie to retire - he has lost the plot. He only plays his favourites who are past it e.g. Scholes, Giggs. Get Marcello Lippi NOW."
