맨시티 vs 맨유 맨체스터이브닝뉴스 평점~(맨시티평점)

6 HART: outstanding in Germany but handling not great here in opening half and second spill allowed Rooney the easiest of scoring chances which he took  6: RICHARDS: started at right back but moved inside during half time reshuffle. Did reasonably well in both positions though pace looks down on his optimum level 8 DUNNE: no calamities and tidied up well when Reds threatened to expose City down the flanks. Confidence back and remains a vital and strong part of the squad  8 KOMPANY: there is a suspicion that he is not only just the Blues best defensive midfielder at the moment but also the best defender. Was one of the few to truly shine 6 GARRIDO: United gave him a look at both their wingers as they swapped and changed and was kept too occupied defending to manage much attacking support 8 WRIGHT-PHILLIPS: came in for some hefty treatment most notably from Fletcher and Carrick but as ever just got on with his high energy game and got better as match went on 6 IRELAND: never allowed to cause the havoc he had wrought in recent games but still came close to scoring and never gave less then his level best in and out of possession 6 HAMANN: hero in Uefa Cup but despite neat passing off at the interval after the Blues failed to build any kind of engine room bridgehead in the opening forty-five minutes.  6 VASSELL: having hard time convincing the fans of his place in the side and did nothing to deflect criticism though he was up against one of the league’s best left backs 6 ROBINHO:  hardly sighted in the first half as City failed to have any quality control of the ball but much brighter in the second half without reaching the heights 6 BENJANI: Vidic and Ferdinand are amongst the best there are and playing them on own is an unenviable task. Fought his corner the best he could and hit side-netting  SUBSTITUTES: ELANO (for Hamann 46) – a real mixture. Been begging for chance and there was some nifty footwork mixed with odd bad pass that put team in trouble - 6 ZABALETA (for Vassell 46) – is a steady performer and showed it again in a committed and energetic half that gave City more threat down the right flank - 6 STURRIDGE (for Richards 76) – not enough time on the pitch or on the ball to show what he can really do - 6 NOT USED:  Schmeichel, Ben Haim, Jo and Ball  BOOKED: Ireland (41) foul; Vassell (45) foul. BATTLE OF THE BOSSES: Hughes gambled by playing his Euro heroes plus Robinho but some looked leggy, including the previously injured Brazilian, and despite the called for changes at break and sending off it never quite worked. REFEREE: Howard Webb (Yorks) – far too many soft cards in what was a less than dirty derby - 5 ATTENDANCE: 47,320
