It was Kompany.
The ball bounced two feet from Clichy and he just stood there. New guy in team coming off bench in 2nd half or one of best defenders in world. I'll put my money on the new guy. Awful either way.

That was Clichy. Not enough time together yet.
Like lazy said, it was Kompany. What do you mean by not enough time? City only has three new players and two did not see the field. They have had plenty of time together. What's funny is that the first priority for Mancini was actually winning. SAF was treating it as a pre-season match and still won. This match didn't count as far as ManU is concerned. It was about evaluating players. SAF got a good look at Phil Jones, Smalling, and Welbeck, and no doubt saw that Cleverly>>>>>>Carrick.
Games count starting Sat.

Ferguson wanted to win just as much as Mancini. Ferguson is also a better manager than Mancini.

Nah, look at the substitutions SAF made. He made zero tactical subs, they were more for evaluation (Cleverly, Jones) or to give rest for his first choice players (Vidic, Ferdinand, Evra out and Rafael in), both in some cases. I'm sure SAF wanted to win, but it was not the #1 priority. Contrary Mancini went for it with his best available and his subs were tactical to improve the chance of winning.

Clichy has probably played in 2-3 games with City. Also, to say Fergie wasn't trying to win the game is retarded. All that said, just an exhibition. Put your knives away City haters.

I never said SAF was not trying to win the game, just said he treated the game as a pre-season affair and winning was a secondary priority, unlike City's approach. The match was much more important to City and it showed by Mancini's tactics. Take off the carolina blue glasses for a minute. No hate for City, just analyzing the match for what it was.

I'm leaving for England on Wednesday. I'll be there 12 days. I'm going to Tottenham-Everton on Saturday and then Cardiff on Tuesday. Tottenham and Cardiff are kind of my two favorite teams in England. Can't wait. I am potentially trying to go to Arsenal the following Saturday as well. We'll see what happens.

Yes he did. Hopefully it was partially nerves. And he grows into the job. But I'm not so sure.
Can someone tell me more about cleverly

I mean, before the ball takes it's initial bounce there is confusion between Kompany and Clichy. But by the time the ball is descending towards the second bounce, there is no doubt. It's all Kompany.

Birdie also made a crack on saf putting in his scrubs, yet man united dominated after the changes.

My point about the last goal was Clichy should have dealt with it. The two have not played hardly at all together, hence the lack of communication. I do agree that Kompany should have done better once he was hung out to dry. Was a bit of a lucky bounce too. Shitty way to lose the game. They count starting this weekend.

They pretty much dominated the whole game besides the last 10-15 of the first half.
