Manchester United (A) - Pre Match Thread

[argyle]

Basically that it is a derby, what happened between United vs Everton is irrelevant, both teams will want to win...then he was asked does it basically boil down to City win the next four games, they win the title and Vinny just said he's focused on the derby and nothing else. He was then asked "you like the derby don't you?" and he said who doesn't/why shouldn't I. Then he said they're playing to win for pride, for everything they stand for etc.

Excellent stuff, thanks.

They’ll come out of the blocks and want to be all over us,we just need to take the sting out of them by keeping them at arms length for 20 mins or so or by an early goal if possible...

Not with 5 at the back they won’t.

Isn’t it funny how it’s the same team (excluding Zin, Walker, and Aguero) as last season who lost 2-3? It’s like Pep is telling them to go and get revenge. They know they should’ve been out of sight in the first half.

I’m not as calm as I was an hour ago but I believe the team can do it.

So 30% change of outfield players.

Not too surprising given who’s available (KDB injured) and the fact we only bought one player last summer.

Thats exactly why Pep is playing him tonight.

I try not to hope and just go through the emotions as the match happens. I believe the lads playing can get it done. Only thing That’ll annoy me more than usual will be when Young commits a rash/dangerous tackle without getting a card.

That might suit you’re own arguement, but we’re a better team without him. Bernardo and Sterling on the wings have been brilliant, they can’t be dropped.

They don't have to be dropped. Bernardo can easily go into the middle. There is room for all 3, especially with no KDB and Silva being out of sorts.

Don’t get the feeling he puts Pogba in his fantasy football team.

Jesus.. talk about being brutally honest.

That fucking penalty and red not given last season still annoys me.
