[Bahumat]

You know, when I posted what I posted and reread it, I said to myself, either Chodax or Bahu would call me a perve. I guess chodax needs 15 people to call me a perve first before he cottons on.

haha

Desperate for another moment like this today...

YouTube - Fanzone - Manchester United vs CIty - Michael Owen Goal

Gonna be tough though.

 

[Ch3tan]

Shiiiiiit Berba not starting, I should have transfered him out of my fantasy team.

A great starting 11 for us, only doubt for me is Smalling, lot of pressure on him today.

Guess it is the 5 man midfield, Anderson as the most forward of the 3 CM.
Strong enough team, but gonna be a tough game, smalling against Tevez and Dzeko worried me the moment I heard both Rio and Evans out the game. With luck Vidic has a stormer of a game so it doesnt matter so much who he partnered with. lol

 

[leviathane]

as long as its a draw im happy

 

[Corran]

as long as its a draw im happy

draw better then a utd loss, lol. But i rather take a win
And dzeko starting on the bench. Thought city would be more adventurous.

 

[leviathane]

btw chod, jealous much?

 

[Ch3tan]

LOL! How did SIlva miss!

 

[Corran]

silva shoulda buried that even with the angle. lucky there.

 

[Bahumat]

Because we only have Rooney up front, City can afford to push their defensive line up which means we get no time on the ball when going from defense to midfield

 

[Ch3tan]

I think it's fairly open, they have more numbers in midfield, but we have had better quality of possession there. Apart from Silva's chance, they haven't threatened. Whereas we look a threat every time Evra/ Giggs and Nani get on the wings.

 

[Bahumat]

our passing in the final 3rd is literally the opposite of barcelona's. Our players either do not look where our team mates are.

 

[Ch3tan]

NANI!!!!!!!!!!

GET in!

 

[Bahumat]

haha awesome!

 

[Corran]

lovely ball through by giggs yet again, and a nice touch and finish by Nani. Certainly the young lad stepped up this season

 

[Ch3tan]

That goal puts him into double figures this season, 9 of which have been in the league. He's certainly coming of age.

 

[Bahumat]

What's nice is he is good with both feet so he can cause nightmares for defenders. Will be good to see what changes Mancini makes.

 

[Corran]

Only problem with nani is i bet he got a horrid shots on target ratio. He hits them from 30yrds so often that it probably like 15%. lol.

That said, we not been giving him many options this game. movement been limited at times so cant blame him for hitting them.

 

[cHodAX]

Nani gets as many chances as Ronaldo ever did but his conversion rate is about 1/3rd because he rushes and shots early or does the complete opposite and over-eggs it and ends up in a shooting position that isn't ideal. He has all the tools but I am not convinced his brain can keep up with his physical ability.

 

[cHodAX]

Could 5 Live be any more desperate for City to equalise?

 

[Embattle]

Could 5 Live be any more desperate for City to equalise?

Not any more

 

[Ch3tan]

Gonads, fucking SWP assist.

 

[Vladamir]

Dzekoooo

or Silva, whoever

 

[Ch3tan]

Dzekoooo

Silva's goal technically

 

[Bahumat]

gayyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[cHodAX]

Bleh, cnuts jizzed themselves. So much for the BBC and unbiased reporting.

 

[Corran]

lmfao. how much luck do they need :s
