You mean Kolarov. I was under the impression Kompany was playing centre half marking Rooney.

What a pass and a beautiful finish .

The pass from Giggs was poor but Nani's first touch was fantastic. Very cool then when he got in. Great goal.

John O'Shea with the skills! United on fire since the goal

Actually Lescott won the header, the pressure from Rooney caused it to be a bad one and towards goal as opposed to away from goal.

United a different team since the goal. Shocking stuff before that.

Zabaleta is hopeless.

He's getting a serious roasting by Nani.

He's also getting played off the pitch by him

Beautifully weighted ball for Nani to run onto to and take down and slot it home, great pass

They've scored more goals than Man City have.

They've amassed more points than anyone else.

Do catch up BERBA. Would have thought playing catch up was something a Spuds fan was used to.

Pretty poor game, truth be told. I hope it picks up in the 2nd half.

It was clearly overhit! Nani's touch was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G tho.

Mr.Nice Guy

The difference was Nani taking his chance and Silva missing his. This result would be terrific for United if it stays this way. I can see there being some twists before it's over though.

It was a shocking pass, should've been all on the floor..

City will probably look comfortable again in the second half and O Shea will score..

eclectichoney

Lovely ball from Giggs to set up nani for the goal - and nani yet again showing he's been our best player this year imo.

Hope I am not tempting fate but I think Smalling has done very well so far, as has Sheasy.

Giggs Fitness DVD?!!!!! :eek:













































I'm gettin' it.

Otis Driftwood

Poor enough thus far but going in at half time a goal to the good who cares.

Dave147

Just threw 20 quid on City at 14/1, good odds considering they can't play for a 0-0 draw now and are going to have to chase the game.

Without Nani Utd would have very little hope in winning this game, he's been instrumental for ye today and all season, fantastic player.

City weren't playing for a draw anyway, they came out today to win and have played some lovely attacking football.

How many clear cut chances have city had? Is vds keeping us in the game? No, i thought not:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Good first half, some nice slick passing from Utd. City playing their usual boring defensive football, trying to catch Utd on the break. Some filty tackles from City too. I reckon Utd can bang in 2 or 3 more

dahat

A very anxious first 30 or so.......

Grew into the game and a stunning move and goal,hopefully we can hold City early and nick a second to win.

Are you stuck in a November time loop?

Sean Wright Philips. Dear god if a team has to rely on him they are in trouble.

Lescott is a joke. £20m for that??

I should have started growing out my nails more than a week ago in preparation Nerve wrecking game.

City were the better team in that half, Kompany, Toure and Silva playing well. Had been saying all along that Nani is the most dangerous looking player on the pitch however and sure enough comes up with a great goal. Some seem surprised that City have been as attacking as they were, take Nigel De Jong out and put Milner in what do you expect? Im hoping the heads drop now, as they were looking menacing there.

dahat

Also i have been very very impressed with Smalling,his first derby and he is having a cracker,very assured on the ball.

Yes.

I don't see why you're thinking a professional footballer couldn't cushion that ball through instead of blasting it in the general direction of Nani.

I know that, what I meant was due to the title race, City have to come out looking for a win. Still it's a far fetched bet but it's not beyond the realms of possibility.
