Dundee United vs Dundee FC - The Best Derby in Scotland - The Worst Thread on P&B

That break by Utd there shows how we don't track attackers. Watched the ball while he ran right in behind us. Time and again. 

We play too much across the back as well, Utd just need to wait for the ball knocked forward. We actually cause them problems when we get any linking play. 

This is how we played last season, really frustrating to watch as it just allows the other team to get men behind the ball. At this level, you need to get the ball forward as early as possible as players struggle to make a string of passes together under pressure

Just tuned in for the last ten minutes (over here in the States).  Looks like a good game so far.  
 

Thomson looks really incisive, skillful (though also looks about ten years old)  - is he always this good?  

 

Also, I used to work in a call centre with a footballer, but he played for East Stirling - is Murray on East Stirling level wages?

Holt at fault for the Dundee goal. Got sucked in.

That aside United have looked absolutely fine here.

Thomson been excellent, VDS doing well upfront. Trapanovski doing his thing. Sevvy looks far better wing back or in midfield. Graham is a great defender even on the right side.

Dundee look tidy in spells and dangerous.

Can easily end up 3-3 here or 4-3 either team.

Their wingers and wing backs are getting all the joy against our back 5. Our only area of dominance (numbers wise) in the midfield has been non existent. Changes at HT please Doc

Was there not a reasonable hand ball shout for Dundee? For those watching on tv. 

Nah, hit him in the torso then brushed his hand, but never a hand ball.

Aye been a great watch this tbf, tempo is scarily high from what I've seen of Saints this season mind you, which is making it a touch less enjoyable. 

Both Dundee wing backs look good on the ball but suspect defensively. United captain seems a weird one, not sure he's good enough to be an automatic first pick but probably is now he's captain.

Is this for real? Babunski is a great player at this level but he's stil adjusting to the rigours of the Scottish game, you can tell he thinks he has more time on the ball than he does but he has the intelligence to get upto speed quicky. Him, Trap and Ferry will be our mian players this season.

We look far more cohesive as a team than we did in the cup games, we’ve managed to gel far quicker than I thought we would given the number of new players.

Given the pace of the game I can see subs for both sides maybe playing a crucial role.  We will need the likes of Kai and Moult to be on their game; maybe Forbes to offer something different.

You may be on the windup here but just in case, Babunski is maybe not up to pace with the Scottish game yet but he clearly has quality. Maybe a bit guilty of trying to play the Hollywood pass sometimes.
