Manchester United (A) - Sat 6 Nov 12:30 | Pre-Match Thread

[chickaroon]

maybe mentioned already but wasnt there a clear change this season that club plays Wed evening in CL will not be put for the Saturday 1230 slot?
wouldnt surprise me if we are the only club that happens out of the 6x midweek CL rounds.

Only if you have played away on the Wednesday.

Smash the toe rags into the stone age. What do you mean they're already there?!

In the big games play your best players in their best roles. That means Eddie, Walker, Dias, Stones and Cancelo, maybe!!!!

Upfront Foden left, Jesus central and Raz right. In the middle Bernie, Welsh lad and keV. I think keV and Raz ain't in form button their day are 2 of our most influential players. Gundo due to injury and Mahrez cos he's so bloody annoying, should be on the bench, with Palmer. Let's face it, we need the points, and they're managed by smeagol. Cmon City!

sterling has never turned up against them

 

[youngbob]

Ederson
Walker, Stones, Dias, Cancelo
Rodri
Gundo/KDB, Grealish
Jesus, Bernardo, Foden

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Confident as long as De Bruyne and Sterling do not start.

Man Utd 3-1 Man City :(

 

[Didsbury Dave]

I've been very much expecting to give them a battering but the lack of recovery time and early kickoff means I'm now expecting a 1-0 or 2-0 type win.

 

[SWPISHOME]

I know it's a Manchester Derby and results can go either way on most occasions even though we are favourites to win basically every time we play them now it sometimes doesn't turn out that way. But I must admit I am very surprised to see how many people are fearful of this shower of shite.
Relax everyone! We've got this...They are in front of their own scummy fuckers at the swamp Saturday morning the pressure is well and truly on them to perform after the pasting the red dippers have them a few weeks back. We'll turn up on Saturday take the belt off and show them who the daddy is!
TAKE OUR CHANCES and we will fucking paste these shit cunts.

COME ON BLUE BOYS!!!!

As I’ve gotten older I know I take this match way too seriously. Before I die I swear I would die happy if I saw them relegated until they were back playing Oldham. I still blame Oldham for handing them a lifeline way back in pisscan’s early days, I thought they were finished then. I do absolutely hate derby matches and will need drink and to hide behind the sofa at times.

You have the score wrong, and I reckon you also have it wrong as regards Raz and Kev starting. Midfield of Kev Bernardo and Rodri, front 3 of Phil, Raz, Gab, run em ragged, not even Oliver can save them

Welsh lad lol

Im still trying to work that out....??

That IS the problem though. I doubt if any other PL team create as many goal scoring opportunities as City but don't finish them. A reliable goal poacher completes the squad for me, but, so far, Pep thinks otherwise.
What works in the past is no guarantee for the future.

 

[BringBackSwales]

---------------Ederson
Walker---Dias---Stones---Cancelp
---------------Rodri
------KDB-------------Gundog
---Mahrez---Foden---Sterling

Start Grealish instead of KDB if you like but I want to see Sterling restored to City's line up as he will score goals if he gets regular games. My front 3 are the 3 top City goalscorers in our squad so we should use that.

No Bernardo is about as likely as OGS winning manager of the year and about as sensible as spunking £90m on Sancho

He doesn't think otherwise, he wanted Kane, and will still want a striker. What he doesn't want is any old 'poacher' that would disrupt the way we control games and limit counter attacks too much and mean we create less chances. It's a fine balance only a very small pool of strikers can manage, we will get one but probably not until nest season.

 

[remember arthur mann]

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

Yeah but it's the shit sides we struggle with.

 

[SamBlue]

Apart from the early kick-off time on Saturday, I am pretty confident we can smash them, we focus better in the big games and looking back for the past few season, we always beat them when we need to.

Oh I don’t like this. We need hardworking players so it’s a no no on Mahrez and we need a more mobile midfield so it’s a no for both Gundo and kev.

No Bernardo no party.

Pep needs to find away to fit Bernardo, Foden, Jack & Kev in the same team.

Hope you get over Covid soon bud.

 

[AlexWilliamsGloves]

Rodri

Doh!

 

[Gray]

If we start like we did last night I fear the worse.
