Aye, they're playing great. But they are greatly assisted by the fact that City's back four **** themselves every time they are pressed. Or Liverpool attack. Or the ball comes anywhere near them. I'm surprised Demichelis hasn't had to leave the pitch for a change of underwear yet.
How poor is Otamendi if he can't get in ahead of this pair? ****ing hell. You seen the Classico? Benitez so far out of his depth it's hilarious.
I think Otamendi is injured. I was recording the Real v Barca game to watch later but the ****ers covering the Bitters v Dippers game have ruined it!
He's worked out that the only way he can overshadow Mourinho is to lose his first Classico by more than five goals...
He's on the bench but has a slight injury. The manager has given up on this game and is probably saving him for CL game as they're going to need him!
THE city being thrashed by the RS. But I've never seen such an inept defensive performance. City were supposed to be the outstanding team and some pundits were even stating that the title was a foregone conclusion. We probably should stop taking our defence for granted and our performances against the likes of WBA and RS too. Any team can beat any other especially when key regulars are missing. City were totally useless without Kompany and were even worse without Aguero.
United up to 2nd. And still we have the likes of Merson and Wright who say that they have no chance. The City 1-4 defeat is a "fake" result and I agree with MP to a certain extent. Freak occurrence, Kompany out, defence totally disorganised and the RS taking advantage. City played exactly the way the RS wanted. A ponderous slow defence trying to attack a fast counterattacking side. When they encounter a side willing to sit back, mostly at their ground, the RS will be found out. Like Palace did. Just don't attack them at their home and defend with 10 men at the back, they will themselves be vulnerable to a counter
The reverse jinx worked fine. Would much rather our biggest rivals for the title drop three points to mid table opposition that have them gain a moral boosting draw after having been so ****e in the first half.
