Name the last derby starting XI before the Abu Dhabi takeover. There are clues; I got 5 out of 11. No cheating now! Champers, I'm impressed you got 4 plus Hamann - well done! Tough quiz. I got 10 with a bit of *cheating...embarrased to say the one i didn't get was an obvious one: the only scorer in the 1v0 victory - geovanni...doh!!! *knew the player but couldn't remember the name so had to google, example, Man City Spurs Croatia Charlie = corluka Edited November 11, 2018 by Bredbury Blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corluka is still going; came off the bench in the World Cup. Hamann signed for Bolton but never played. Petrov missed a sitter for Bolton to keep them in the Prem same day you won it in 2012.

BangrakBob Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 I remember the days of a Shaun Goater miracle double, what a contrast, that first 20 30 mins was sublime.

And they didn't have de Bruyne and Sane, young player of the year didn't come on till midway through the second half. Silva was their best player and i loved seeing him dancing around a three man midfield of Fellaini, Herrera and Mata that were surely picked to kick lumps out of him. This is City's big chance for the champions league. It might as well be said, its quite obvious it is.

Bredbury Blue Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Ederson: ManU's man of the match. Seriously setting up with 3 defensive midfielders tells you everything and gave the ManU front 3 nothing to feed off. I thought we were brilliant though I'll admit to feeling uncomfortable for 5 minutes after ederson lost his head and gifted ManU a goal (was it their only shot on target?). Mourinho's subs actually helped us more than them and with Aguero going off for Gundogan we were cutting through their midfield at will. Looking forward to watching it again...and again...and again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jellydog Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 So many positives from that performance. Spanish Dave was sublime and seems to get better with age. Aguero with an Aguero screamer. Fernandinho was everywhere as usual. There's your three City old pros making a huge difference. A great team performance all around. And Ederson's distribution ! Honestly I don't think I've ever seen a keeper better with his feet and distribution. And so relaxed and confident in doing so. Some work on not fouling strikers in the box in order though. I haven't read the reports this morning, but did Mourinho have anything to complain about ? And before I forget, it was nice to see that annoying little shitbird Herrera have an abysmal game.

I’m his interview afterwards he said the difference in the past week re travelling in matches etc meant the teams came into the game in a different frame of mind (words to that extent). I would of thought united would be on a high after the won in Turin but I guess he meant with the mileage travelled. He popped another couple of excuses in too but overall, for him, he was reasonably gracious in defeat from what I saw. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
