Who the fuck are Man Utd

 

[Norbiton]

We need to avoid giving them an easy start. Last season we conceded early in both matches and couldn’t get going so first goal is crucial.

We are much better than them, we need to show it.

Surely we didn’t concede at all in the away game?

0 - 0


Beating them in the League Cup was good. No **** there.

0 - 0

Mixing up my seasons. Absolutely right we drew 0-0. Previous season we limped to a 2-0 defeat, last game before COVID chaos

 

[mdj0520]

Eddy

Walker
Stones
Dias
Cancelo

Rodri
Grealish
Bernardo

Jesus
Foden
Mahrez

This is not the game to test Grealish in the 8. He will play there long term, but not tomorrow ffs. Gundogan and Bernardo has to be the two 8s, but I suspect he'll start KDB.

 

[JCB001]

Tomorrow will be 50 Years to the day that I went to my first Derby 3-3 classic .

 

[kaz7]

Whatever happens i will be over it by 3pm , my expectations are low

We are going to do these fuckers

 

[the-ecstacy-of-eight]

Team I'd choose is...

Ederson - Cancelo, Stones, Dias, Zinchenko - Rodri - Bernardo, Gundogan - Sterling, Jesus, Foden

Team I think Pep will choose is...

Ederon - Walker, Stones, Dias, Cancelo - Rodri - Bernardo, DeBruyne - Jesus, Foden, Grealish

 

[Protein Junkie]

Hart

I wouldnt have jack starting , we need to press the fuck out of them and their attempts at playing out

They are the mortal enemy......be invested. Daft red cunts.

I personally think Corrigan deserves to start and I'd find a place for Dunne, maybe in a back 5 but I don't know who I'd drop for him. We've just got to be wary of Berbatov as he's their danger man IMO

 

[B\connellblue]

Strange how the vast majority on here think Pep is a genius yet up against the bus driver and his mob 22% think we'll lose and nearly 13% think we'll draw. Something doesn't add up here. There is only one result acceptable tomorrow and it's neither of the above.

 

[Woody13]

After much deliberation, this is my XI for tomorrow -

Ederson
Walker
Cancelo
Stones
Dias
Rodri
KDB
Bernardo (close call with Gundo, wouldn’t mind either
Foden
Sterling
Jesus

Wide men on their natural sides, Jesus on the right (can swap with Raz if things aren’t working) and Foden on the left. They’ll pack their back line with five we need to stretch them rather than continually checking back inside and create those spaces for KDB and Bernardo/Gundo. Sterling will trouble Maguire behind with his pace.

 

[Cambo]

I’d play the following 11:

Ederson

Walker Stones Dias Zincenko

Rodri
Gundo Silva

Cancelo Jesus Foden

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Ederson
Walker, Dias, Stones, Cancelo
Rodri, Gundogan, B Silva
Jesus, Foden, Grealish

De Bruyne and Mahrez to come on after an hour if we’re trailing or level.

 

[blue for life]

Always want this one over ASAP. Doesn’t matter if I am confident or not, win lose or draw. Just get it over with. Hate derbies.

 

[Tangled up in blue.]

We give him a chance and the tosser will take it, that's all he needs

Yeah, he wont miss chances like we do, he only needs a second and it's in the net
