I would reluctantly, have to agree with that. City are currently doing a bottle job - fighting and arguing amongst themselves. Arsenal have just lost, for the first time in a while. Anybody's game, IMO.
All the best next week,RVPs goal drought will hopefully come to an end,and yes I know we have to do our job and beat Blackburn on monday but for today we can be happy
Agree. It's going to be a huge game. We have lost one after winning the last seven, so it will key to see how the team react. United play twice (Blackburn and QPR) before City take the field again. If United do the job, then City are going to be under some pressure. Off course, we would be under pressure if Chelsea and Spurs win but we would still have a 2 point lead over Chelsea even if we get beat. But if City mess up then it could be all but over in the title race.
Play like we did today and City will completely rip us apart. I think if Mancini studies the tapes he will play Dzeko. He dominated TV in the cup game at the Emirates and he would do it again on the evidence of how easily TV was muscled out of it today.
And if City play like they did against Swansea and we show up, then we will destroy them at home. Works both way. Oh and have you seen Dzeko recently? He has been dogshit and City fans want him out of the team. Dzeko despite his stature is not even a physical player. Zamora is. His whole game is about backing into the CB and starting the play. TV did not even start against City in the Carling Cup. He came on as a sub for Miquel in the 80th minute to play as a LB. So that's wrong.
Dzeko doesnt suit their style of player as he is a good goal scorer and one of these annoying tall players that will score if you provide him with service but city generally play dull football and dont tend to play with wingers.
Yes. Neville did a brilliant analysis of their game. They basically have wide players that like to go in the middle and find those spaces between the CB and FB. And now teams are just allowing their full backs to have all the space in order to stop the likes of Silva and Nasri. Silva's influence on games have become less and less. Even Adam Johnson is a player that just likes to cut in. This is one of the reasons Valancia is so important to United.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-devon-17577497 this is why i cant understand and join in with the circus surrounding Muamba after what happened and the applauding and all that........especially considering he survived......good luck to him but how it has been milked....i cringed on tuesday night when the bolton fans kept on singing 'fabrice muamba'...i cringe even writing it.....like they got no other fukin chant.....now this is a family i really feel sorry for....
2-0. Newcastle are a little too close for comfort, aren't they? So much for their 'inevitable' drop away, but it does show how well we did to turn them over 5-0, despite their absences.
Could do with another one of those today! Newcastle are doing extremely well! Hopefully we can make them arsenals problem and not ours!
For anyone that's yet to see Carroll's embarrassing and rather ludicrous dive: http://www.101greatgoals.com/gvideos/andy-carroll-booked-for-diving-liverpool-v-newcastle/ He's got an open goal. Just kick it in the net.
FOR SALE: One crown (size 6& 3/4) Red and white lining. Apply Liverpool football club, Anfield. Owner wishes to return to obscurity.
How s**t are Liverpool? Can't even rely on them to get a draw at Newcastle!!' Newcastle fans appear every friendly to Carroll - they are waving to him as he gets subbed......
