Drab Derby.

So, it's Derby night and God know's what was going to happen in this unusual season! The team sheet had another couple of mistakes for me (here however I do state that I obviously can't judge based on little niggles) but based on form and ability I would have played Clichy for as I have already stated for me Kolarov can now only play centre back when needed for I don't think he has ever been able to play fullback, especially in this case against the pace of Rashford (indeed it was lucky united had no intention of attacking pretty much all game and when they did they looked really rusty). On the other side however it was great to see Zaba back, as you may be aware I've missed him!! and the ever dependable put in a solid performance on the return to the team. Finally the other mistake for me in the team sheet was playing Sterling, especially after Wembley! For me I would always play Navas over him and unfortunately for us it was another case of I told you so by the time he got subbed, which was too late on for my liking! With the player replacing him filling me full of hope and excitement as Jesus rises again! For me I would of played Navas till 60 minutes then brought Jesus on for him.

Anyway the game itself was so predictable it was painful, in that we had all the possession as boring Jose parked the bus in the worst United performance I have seen in years! Yet with all the possession we again couldn't convert it into a victory. This occurred partly due to Sergio having a shit game, missing what should have been the winner in the first half that my Mrs would have tucked away, the rest of the game missing the target at will, with half chance after half chance. Sterlings bumbling was like tying one attacking arm behind your back, indeed and one point in the game I stated it is unnatural the level of dislike I hold for him as a player and as for Sane, well what the hell has happened to him?!!! From looking truly gorgeous a few weeks previous he was utterly horrendous at Wembley and he carried his petulance, lack of interest and unwillingness to run into this game also?!

The only things of real positive note in the game being firstly Vinney, God he is so good, as to be fare was Otamendi and I think as a pairing they could be great together next season (Maybe trying stones at wing back next season?). However that was about it as our season limps to a decidedly average end and I just pray we can find enough form to keep us in the top 4.
