For all we take the piss, if we lose this then OGS's so called shit team will be on the same points as us.
I'd take the scruffiest 1-0 win ever.

If the goal is just staying ahead of them, then the draw would do the job lol

I can see why they rested Cavani last night, he will start on Saturday im sure of it. He will be used to close our back 4 plus keeper. Emerson has to be on his game with his quick passing. And the back 4 would have to be on alert and play their pass n move game.

Nah, i want to win but i was just making the point that Utd aren't quite as shit as a lot on here believe.

Of course not and Dias better not be afraid to go at it with Ronaldo

Yeah I'd expect him to start with Ronaldo and do the running for the pair of them, with Rashford to replace Cavani, probably 60 mins in and play the same role.

Their game will be about containing us and trying to hit us on the break. As nice as it would be to put 4 or 5 past them and we are more than capable, the match with Liverpool was a bit of a freak game and they immediately moved to a more defensive style afterwards.

The first goal is key. If we get it I think we'll be fine, but if not it could be a frustrating afternoon. Hoping we get back to the level we were at against Chelsea and first half v Liverpool. I dont think any team can live with us if we're on that kind of form.

Very good up front,absolutely shit at the back,pity carltons suspended he is totally shit.

Fully expect them to sit very deep with a back 5 and 2 DM's and just make sure they keep it very tight and give us no space. ogs will do everythign possible to avoid a repeat of the scouse hammering they got. They will sit extremely deep and hope they take one of the few breakaways they get, kind of a standard City game whoever we play.

Yes....but we'll both (probably) be 8 points behind Chelsea, it really won't be much to brag about, it'll just mean we've been shite as well.

 

[Claytop]

It wasn't that long ago we were outclassing Chelsea, Liverpool & PSG in one week. Need to get back to that level.

 

[blue cigar]

We're very good away, we will dominate most of this game and have too much movement for them, they will rely on the odd break but we'll have far too much for these, not worried at all.

Lose this and I will seriously worry we've fucked the title

 

[lazerblue]

if our midfield actually plays like a midfield instead of flying off all over the place and leaving the shop unattended we should piss it

 

[Mike N]

We showed at Liverpool and Chelsea that we can complete and beat the best teams in the league. Similar performance wins the derby.

Early days yet, and Chelsea are overdue a dry patch. Their results and performances haven’t matched up.

That said, we’d need to capitalise with yet another absurd winning run (and probably a January striker).

Saturday won’t decide our title chances, but lose and we’re in danger of a slippery slope.

Love it, that's Pep's pre-match team talk sorted out then.....

"OK Chaps, if the midfield actually plays like a midfield instead of flying off all over the place and leaving the shop unattended we should piss it!"

 

[kaz7]

If we can put away half as many chances as we constantly spunk away, we should batter them.
However, the buffoon will have seen how WHU & Palace set up against us. He will be overjoyed with a draw which will seem like a victory to them after getting humiliated by the dippers.
We cannot afford to lose this game. If we do, I fear it’s the start of a slide and we could be looking at a mini slide.

Haha, you keep posting this doomsday scenerio everywhere , man up ffs

 

[kaz7]

With our current shambolic form I just hope we can limit their scoring to under 5

Lol

 

[Blu1]

All I want is for us to be 3 up by half time so I can relax & watch old Trafford implode & hear the chants of Ole out as they fight with each other.

Not much to ask is it. Cmon blues
