MANCHESTER CITY 0 MANCHESTER UNITED 1:
David
De Gea
The Best Keeper in the league, produced a steady and
alert performance as usual. Kept a Well-deserved clean sheet. Made the
obligatory saves when called upon. Has grown to be a World Class Talent.
Matteo
Darmian
Started off rather nervously but got to grips as the
game moved on. Needs to be consistent with his marking. Also needs to be brave
to overlap frequently. Was moved to the left flank in the 2nd half to
accommodate the Arrival of Antonio Valencia.
Chris
Smalling
Very Frustrating to watch at times, as he was brilliant
at times and was so clumsy at times. Picked up his customary booking for a
clumsy foul on Aguero. Needs to show consistence although he certainly had
become the heart of defence for this team.
Daley
Blind
A Welcome Positive performance by him. Performed crucial
interceptions and stuck to Toure and Aguero. Stirred up the derby with that
little tiff with Aguero. Once again in my opinion, is not a CB and should be
moved to the Midfield where he will definitely be more effective.
Marcos
Rojo
Clumsy at times with his tackles and was suspect with
his positioning at times. Allowed Navas to get pass him easily. Was substituted
By Valencia in the 2nd half. In My opinion, needs to start regularly
as a CB.
Morgan Schneiderlin
Fantastic Performance by the Frenchman, Proved today why
Man United bought him in the first place. Screened the defence brilliantly and made
crucial interceptions. Needs to keep on performing like this to ensure that
Fellaini is nowhere near the first team.
Michael Carrick
The Presence of Schneiderlin allowed him
to dictate the game from midfield. Had more time on the ball
and strung a couple of brilliant passes to the attackers. At his age. He is
still crucial to this team.
Juan Mata
Had a good outing. One majestic Pass Led to a Fantastic
Goal. Played wide on the right flank. Lacked pace but made it up by cutting inside.
Swapped places many times with Rashford and Lingard which is a good team as the
understanding is beginning to develop. Played his defensive part well by making
a crucial intervention from Sterling.
Anthony Martial
Played well. Often tried to use his pace and dribble,
succeeded at times and overplayed the ball at times. Rotated well with Lingard
and Rashford.
Jese Lingard
Looks more comfortable as a number 10.Worked hard and
combined well with Martial and Rashford. Should now show a little more
consistency
Marcus Rashford
Took the ball from Mata and used his frightening pace to
bear Demechelis and tuck the ball in ala Thierry Henry. Brilliantly taken goal.
His pace caused trouble for Mangala and Demechelis all day. Starting to combine
well with his buddy Lingard and Martial. Hats Off Sir ,but more Consistency
needed.
SUBS
Antonio Valencia
Came in for Rojo. Looked a bit rusty and was a little
gung ho in his approach will attacking. Almost let City take advantage because
of that.
Bastian Schweinsteiger
First match back from injury. Helped shore up the
midfield with his grit and steel. Pace is a bit of a suspect.
Timothy
Fonsu Mensah
Did what was told, which was to help out the Defence.
Minimal impact though.
