City v United pre-match thread (team news pg 66)

Bad News from Pep - Silva unlikely to recover sufficiently. The Good news is that YaYa and Fernandinho are likely to be fit AND...
Jesus is ready..

He actually said dave is a doubt,jesus is fit but not at optimal condition,sergio is ok

I can see why some would rather face Ibrahimovic than Rashford, as his pace will cause us problems, but it's a bit disingenuous to say that United are weaker with Pogba in their side. He's struggled in big games, but he's still clearly one of their better players. It will be a bonus if he is definitely out.

I was just looking forward to him jogging around in a big derby, infuriating the rag masses as he jokes and laughs after the game after we smash them 5-0. Ah well, i'll take the 5-0 with or without him in their team...

defensively he is gash though...they will bring in carrick or someone like that who defensively is a lot lot better.....it just allows them to play on the break more and defend better.......

Big nose being out gives them a lot more edge as well

Maybe, but you won't find many United fans who are happy that Pogba's out.

He's not definitely out though.

no but Pep didnt sound hopeful....lets hope its mind games...

Silva didnt seem to be moving to badly just before he went off and even as he went off as well

Not as much as some on here last June!

1-1 probably. Unless we're fucked by the ref in a big game again, then 1-2.

Stacks of players out for the Rags. Need to exploit this tomorrow.

I actually think that if pogba is out carrick will propably play and imo he controls the midfield better, which is not good news for us.

The closer it gets the more I think we are going to take our season out on them

Hope your right our performances in the last 2 seasons against the sides around us has been abysmal. They don't perform when it matters
