I don't think it shows were scared and i think it shows that Mancini feels we can't afford to loose to them. Stop them getting 3 points and getting further ahead. I know it's seen as negative but I do see where he is coming from. It's not pretty but i would rather not loose if I'm being honest.

I would accept a boring 0-0 too; as long as we don't lose I'll accept anything. But I don't agree we aren't prepared to go head to ehad with them. I feel we are more than prepared to do so, and if we do we will probably win with the players at our disposal.

There's something so very naughty but nice in seeing you wanting us to "smash them" Sis. I agree though.

We could sling Edin up top for instance but who is going to cross for him. I think with United you can actually see them up a gear and change system at will, with us i don't see that at present. The Villa and Brum games spring to mind.

WHY NOT?
This is the negative attitude which I don't like. We can win there tomorrow! We have the players and the team to go and pick up 3 points. [highlight]FFS we beat them there when Benjani and Vassel were our 'strikers'.[/highlight] This is the weakest United team in years and the strongest city team.
It's all about mentality. If we go there tomorrow and press them, get right in their faces, have a go and go head to head we can win.
IT IS MORE IMPORTANT TO WIN THAN NOT TO LOSE.
If we win we're right back in it, a win essentially gives us worth 6 points.

And what kind of tactics did we play when we beat them that time?

Really. Is that why yet again they are pissing the league without getting out on 2nd gear. I agree that this is the strongest team I have ever seen at City but we are not yet there. We see glimpses of it but not on a consistent basis..... yet. In time I will expect City to go there and have a go just not yet as there are inadequate parts of our game that Manchester United will exploit if we go at them.
I truly hope that I am wrong I really really do and that you can come back on here tomorrow and say, I told you so.

Still a negative mentality. Yes it is honestly a weak a United team as I can remember.
They're 4 points above Arsenal, hardly pissing the league. They still have to play Chelsea twice, Arsenal and Liverpool away and us.
Why not go for it? Just because we are not as good as them? Wolves attacked United, really went for it and they won. I'll be furious if we set up to draw. It shows a weak mentality and a lack of belief.
