If you consider City as big 4, then you are way way off the mark. You have Lescott and Kolo who can't defend for toffee. And Mike comment was about this game, where Nani had run rings around Zab everytime he got ball..

So called "big 4" (United, chelsea, arsenal, liverpool)
 
Very entertaining game. Cool finish by Nani who is Uniteds best player. Happy with City though. Keep at them and we can do something here.
 
:O Redknapp isn't wearing that same grey suit he's had on every saturday for 2 years!

Excellent finish from Nani.

When i first saw it, thought it was a bad ball from Giggs, and if it wasn't for Nani's athleticism that balls going out of play IMO.

Also think Hart should've done better, he reacted very late, again, just my opinion

think hart was set for a smash into that corner from nani, but nani instead hit it across him to the other post. great ball from giggs though

City are third, looking very likely to finish there or 2nd, and giving Utd a run for their money in the title race just as Arsenal are. I know they're your rivals and everything, but of course City are a Big 4 team - Livepool certainly aren't, and tbh it's more of a Big 5 now.

zab must do better against nani, he's giving him too much space, and he isnt quick enough to always recover
 
I agree that United have a few bad defenders in their squad. But so have we....Lescott and Kolo are both nowdays pretty useless. I think Mancini is going to bring some young, fast and good Cb after the season.

Remember Mike that Zaba is playing at left, he is a right back so it's not his best position.

We are trying to close him down more with kolarov out there. And for nanis goal hart should have done better, he went down very slowly and thats not good enough.
 
Nani really has become class. I'd say world-class but I wouldn't want to start an argument on debate on the line of where world-class ends and begins.

It is not about rivalry. For some people big 4 means traditional big 4 which Joe meant, for some last time top 4, for some this time top 4. So only i said IF.

not necessarily, as it stands they are 5 points ahead of suprs and chelsea having played 2 games more. Top 4 isn't guaranteed by any means for them yet

It hasnt worked so far and it could prove yet more costly

Richards has been very very good today, if it wasnt for him we'd be doing more damage down that left flank
 
Is it just me who thinks Kompany has been absolutely brilliant today? He has really turned into a top drawer centre half.

I love Zab. He's a top player, very underated IMO. But you're right his lack of speed leaves him exposed quite a lot. you can't play like that against Nani.
