Manchester United (A) - Pre Match Thread

[quiet_riot]

Hoping for a Dzeko-style early one.

Hate derby day, im a pessimistic bastard so im never confident but if we play anywhere near our best we will bury them.

 

[ancoats]

forget what team united are putting out we must respect them and play 2 holding and keep the wing backs deep ?? we must go out tonight and play no lose football and forget all guns blazing and try to out score them ?? we have it in us to play our own game but must earn the right first with a goal or 2 and then settle and make them change up and open things up

pep will not change much other than injury to KDB so both silva's will play and sterling on one of the wings aguero up top on his own, the back line is the puzzle and does kompany demand a start and laporte looked off his game in the spurs game so anybody to partner the skipper for me

Never mind the early one, a last minute goal may be more important.

 

[citymad]

Anyone else feeling like a 1-6 again tonight?

In my dreams but in reality its going to be a gut wrenching night.

 

[baggy]

The Premier League want this to go to the final game of the season.

Don't see us having any issues tonight as a result...

Like the one he buried from "that" pass in the sick swan.

 

[hello]

That's why they appointed him. Basically he's a tour guide harping on about the past and "DNA" - Next bad result and they'll be having a fish supper at Maccari's Chippy to motivate them.

best hope Mccaris is open late tonight then.

 

[goatersnipple]

I fucking hate derby day....

Come on blue boys

 

[HolisticJim]

I'm worried we could be in for another strange team selection with Pep over thinking it.

Can see somert odd like Delph in CM, laporte at LB, Sterling as a FW and Mahrez on the left.

Please Pep, just play our best available 11!

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

Never been as pumped for a derby.

Our lads are going to murder them tonight.

 

[rabby]

I honestly think this cliff visit shows he’s already on his uppers.

Beachy head might be a more appropriate cliff to take them to

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

I reckon the guys are going to be tired for tonight, if we dont get those early goals I dont think they can take anymore high intensity games. LFC with their dropping out of the cups and getting easy draws in the CL have not been as under stress as us, early goals required then sit back and rest rest rest ready for the next game

 

[Ardwick Green Blue]

I'm strangely calm considering what's at stake. Maybe because I think I could get over not winning the league fairly quickly if the worst happens and we don't.

What we have to do in all our remaining games is take our chances rather than missing loads and relying on making more chances. If we do that we should be fine.

Just thinking of all the years when were not even in the Premier League, this has got to be better???

Yes no use fretting what will be will be. After the manner in which we lost to Spur's I was absolutely gutted but after riding the usual piss takes I was fine. Losing will hurt of course but we can then rotate and rest before the cup final.

 

[Franknorgrovesnephew]

it's going to be a difficult night I reckon these fuckers will play on the break and Rashford and martial will cause us problems and as some have said we looked tired against the spuds at weekend but I still think and hope that we have enough to do these fuckers come on city

 

[The Black Shed]

I have a feeling we're in for another sensational game of football

 

[inbetween]

They are the ones shot of confidence and they are expecting a battering. Solskjaer has no real tactical ability so I think this is about damage limitation in the run up to the Chelsea game. Chelsea and Arsenal won't win every game so losing isn't necessary the end for them.

I would be worried if they brought a big atmosphere tonight to go for top 4 but they won't. Judging on many rags they think their season is over but a bit of icing on the cake would be Liverpool not winning the league.

I'm quietly confident but we need to be professional, take chances and get the job done. I don't think it will be a tough game like vs Spurs but certainly it has the potential to be a very frustrating one.

0-2, early goal and a late one to finish.
