United were less convincing than we have been led to believe. We certainly came out of the blocks fast and Rafael is a delight at the moment but we are still a little edgy at the back. City played as many bobbling high balls into our box as they could and goals could have been conceded on a couple of occasions. It felt great to get a win again in this fixture and we need to go on a run now.
I have no idea what Ronaldo was doing either. We need to get behind him though; he is still our player after all.
Rafael is an absolute delight. Every game he plays he is twice as good as the game before. Is he now our first choice right back? Quite possibly. Gary is a great man, but Rafael makes him look like something from ancient history.
It is always nice to beat city, but we are now overdue for giving them an absolute spanking. Our record against them in the last few years is unconvicing, despite a few wins.
But, hey, we’re in touch with the top and we’ve played most of our most difficult away games. It’s not so bad.
