He can speak?
-------------------------------------
Its a MIRACLE

too bad, he can only speak cr@p

hmmm, since when has Younis Kaboul's opinion been worth anything?

Personally i prefer to go with facts:

Fact 1 - United are above City in the league table
Fact 2 - The last time the teams played it was clear there was one team who was miles better than the other, even despite them going 2-0 down.

The fellow was just trying to give some value to his goal against City by presenting them as unbeatable. It's a classic situation.

Some of our fans trying to run before they can walk, we are moving in the right direction but we will only know after 38 games who is the best, so let's wait and see

I dont share YK's views.. we will get beat this season.

thats it then, city are better than United.

Yeah, and David Icke reckons we are governed by a conspiracy of alien lizard people.
We don't have to give a toss every time some flake utters some rabidly delusional nonsense, do we?

Well said.

Would you use fact 2 if it were Barcelona you were considering?

what is it with city fans & barca?????

WE know how good they are where as you lot are CL virgins, even though your the best team in world at the moment with the best squad, kit, ground ,owners & of course supporters!

-----------------------------------

I am not considering Barcelona though, as the post is asking us all to consider City and United, and compare them. Which is what i did.

On an individual breakdown of the starting 11 for each team -

De Gea = Hart
Smalling > Richards
Vidic > Kompany
Ferdinand > Lescott
Evra > Clichy

Nani = Silva
Anderson < Toure
Fletcher > De Jong
Young < Nasri

Rooney > Tevez
Chicharito < Aguero


6-3 to United by my reckoning....

Smalling > Richards
Fletcher > De Jong

Richards is as good as smalling. Nani is better than Silva. Anderson and Yaya Toure are equal. Ashley young is a lot better than nasri.

"The last time the teams played it was clear there was one team who was miles better than the other," - the Charity Shield is not a good barometer of where we are at in comparison to you. I find it interesting that so many reds look to the CS to show how much better than us they are, but few of them look to their other recent friendly with Barca to say the same. Hypocrisy, and if we met in the League next week it would be a much thougher game.

Now I know you are a joker:
De Gea = Hart (on just what eveidence)
Smalling > Richards
Silva is better than Nani, much more consistent, even in your 8-2 win Nani wasn't great.
De Jong is the best DM in the league, simple as.
You can't compare strikers when our starting two are Dzeko who is currently playing far better than Hernandez, and Rooney - Aguero, that one will remain to be seen.

"You can't compare strikers when our starting two are Dzeko who is currently playing far better than Hernandez, and Rooney - Aguero, that one will remain to be seen"


I see. Because Dzecko has awoken from his slumbers and played well in a couple of the few games he has played this season, this shows he is somehow better than Hernandez (who scored afain for Mexico the other day btw... how did Dzeko do in the Internationals?) - Yet Rooney who has started like a house on fire domestically and Internationally, as compared to one and a half good games by Aguero and it "will remain to be seen"?
Can you at least pretend to have some objectivity?

Well in techinque, build, and method of playing the game the comparisons have to currently be between Hernandez and Dzeko, and Rooney and Aguero. All look like fine strikers, and three of them at least are hitting decent form, I guess the conclusion from this one will have to wait until the end of the season when we can look back in hindsight.

At the moment though, purely objectively, Silva is a far better player than Nani, De Jong is a better defensive midfielder than any in the league. I would much rather have Richards in my team. To early to conclude between Nasri and Young, both look to have settled in very well. Saying Hart is equal to De Gea though is pure madness.

Being brutally honest the only players that I think would really add something to our strongest starting eleven would be Vidic and Evra.

As a United fan I would have to disagree with some United fans ratings above...

For the moment
Hart > De Gea
Richards = Smalling

But then I would prefer Anderson* to Toure but De Jong to Fletcher

I would however have Rooney over Aguero and Hernandez over Dzeko

To finish the midfield can't I just have Nani and Silva instead of Nani or Silva with Young or Nasri... the two pairs are fairly equal to me...

Ohh the * that was going on current form which I suppose I am doing with Dzeko as well, if both continue their form ratings stand.

Put it this way I'd happily take Vidic and Evra into our strongest XI and be happy with that. But you could take Hart, Richards, Kompany, Silva, De Jong, Nasri and Aguero, and all would more than likely get in the side.
