    Utd vs City

    Dunne - I though he was man of the match, still a bit suspect if someone runs at him, but excellent today.

    Flood - Had a good game as an extra right back a bit of a terrier.

    Miller - Played OK did nothing wrong.

    Keane - Very sterady was about the best Utd player.

    Keane made a couple of shocking passing attempts towards the end of the game. Other than that, he kept it simple. I thought he should have been booked for chopping Flood down in the first half. Speaking of Flood, I thought he looked very promising and really didn't deserve a booking. Miller didn't do anything wrong, but that's because he didn't do much in the first place. The Honey Monster was my man-of-the-match. Solid and consistent with a fair sprinkling of well-timed challenges. I hope his excellent form continues.

      He WAS booked for that challenge PP. Dunne had a great game alright, you can fairly notice how much weight he has lost and he looks in great shape...can only be a good thing for us because on his day (like today) he's very good.

        Ive never seen Richard Dunne in such good shape. He looks lean and mean. He's very strong as a central defender. Still has a big chest and shoulders. As was pointed out, he can still be rounded a little too easy but his form augers well for the national team. Man of the match today.

          united prolly would have dunne better if the honey monster wasn't playing, he had a great game today, flood played pretty well too, miller was average, but keano had a very good game, as a united fan, i'm dissapointed that the 3 strikers apart form van nistelrooy arent putting the ball in the net, fair enough one or 2 go through a lean spell...but 3 of them, bring back forlan!!!!

            Saha actually played well but he needs a longer run in the team. Rooney would have scored but for a great tackle by Dunne.

              That's the best I've seen Dunne play in a long time, possibly since away to Holland, although he is having a fantastic season, was motm on man city's home page by some distance. Saha got by him twice, but other than that he was a rock in defence, great block on a late Rooney shot too. He's a threat from set pieces as well, just we didn't get any, surprisingly defensive from Keegan!

              Thought Flood did well, wasn't overawed by Ronaldo in the first half or Giggs in the second, few small mistakes like trying to play the ball out of defence instead of hoofing it downfield, but experience takes care of that. McCarthy was on the bench again, but didn't come on, I suspect Onuha would ahve come on if either of them were to anyway.
