oops paiseh it's goals win matches but defence wins championships cannot forget that phrase

Carrick wasn't doing well but he did his job since both him and Fletcher were playing way deep. On the second half, yes Carrick made a lot of interceptions especially in front of the goal. It was our attacking players that were having a bad game: Nani, Giggs Berbatov and Rooney.

should have play with 5 midfield... it will not be so less stressful for the defense. Anyway good job to the back 5. Rafael did well too... he attack but didnt see any striker to help him out. my opinion Fletcher is not himself on 1st half. Nani also not himself too. Oh well at least we still got a point. Spurs wing play are very dangerous... Bale with Ekotto & Lennon with Hutton.

**Lucky is VDS as keeper. If is Kuszczak he would have punch all the freekick out.

i tot it was giggs? but hernandez made a superb tackle when evra was caught unawares.

y the commentator and supersport pundits all thk rafael lucky not sent off for the first tackle har? only 1 foot to tackle(although the other foot was raised) and he even got some of the ball...yellow card the most

ala but when you think, Lennon has been on for the whole game, at at 80++ mins, he still has that blazing pace. Macam kuda on steroids je.

pretty sure it was hernandez

yeah when the flanks dont work, the front dont either.leaves the likes of carrick, flechter and ando more defensively.

and once wayne moves to the wings, he turns his defensive side on wch is good thing as a team but bad for him.he helps the team soo much but sacrifices his goal scoring along the way.the faster we get park and valencia back is the better for roon.we cant go on sacrificing him with out the "sure confidence" others can provide the goods.

it was Hernandez, he tried to pass the ball to Giggs, but not enough power.

because it was a studs-out tackle, considered dangerous. and he got a bit of whoever he's tackling even.

ok quiz time. whats wrong with this table? *taken from the star newspaper on sunday*

Rafael oh Rafael... i think alot of ABU put jinx on him today becoz of last week game

eh Man City 3 games in hand also lol.

This.

Carrick actually plays a role similar to sergio busquets of barcelona - that is to read and intercept passes from in and around midfield or to wingers. His job is then to do a simple lay-off to fletcher or one of the wingers. His main role was not attacking in the first place.

fuu sheep laju betui....aku pun x tau nak teka apa td.hebat.

lucky we didnt bought the other botak central defender who is error prone particularly in the game before ours...and to think they compared him to our captain rock-solid when he was bought by them is very laughable now

lalala

City have played 22 games.

still it wasn't 2 footed with showing studs. Yellow was fair.

No creativity from our CMs until Ando subbed in.

all in all, one phase summing this game up for both teams"buku bertemu ruas" sama-sama hebat, sama-sama la kongsi result.

the scousers are missing?

he even gave some of what he gave to tevez but kesian maybe his england not so good so mike dean tak faham and didnt pissed his pants
