Derby Game Thread

[Stephen Paul]

Beat by a very average team

[Rowley Birkin QC]

We want to start treating these games like they are a f*cking derby! Form goes out the window for derbies. Really bad result that against them and it’s not the first time either!

This    and we seemed oblivious to the fact that this was a must win game for the rag's, if they were to keep alive any remote chance of catching us for the title. I can well imagine what Solskjær's pre-match team talk was like, and I fully expected them to come at us hard from the kick off - and so it turned out. Form does indeed go out of the window in derbies, and it doesn't help if one of the teams is half asleep - plus an odd team selection I thought.

I don't necessarily agree with Stevie that this is an "average" rag team. The table doesn't lie - they're not too shabby. But we should be good enough to put them away, and this game seemed to highlight some on-going City issues - especially in the striker department. I desperately want the lad Jesus to succeed, but the nagging impression that he's not right for us continues.
