IF WE PUT OUR CHANCES AWAY
WE'LL WIN, SIMPLE AS

That's it in a nutshell, the problem is can we?

 

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

Yes. 4 - 1 City.

 

[Paul1970]

As usual if will be difficult because we make it that way but if we take our chances we win but with Ronaldo they have a striker who will score if he gets a chance so we need to put this to bed 1st half .

 

[Fiftyyearsandcounting]

I just hope the Norwegian Nostradamus picks Fred and McTominay in midfield.

One of these days, Haggis Head is going to hurt someone, I just hope it's not one of ours.

This is what we are up against, it's an illness.

Time to dig up the Glock :-)

 

[superseiyan]

Wonder if they'll play 3-4-1-2. They seem to be trying to move away from leaving Fred and McT alone in midfield.

Curious--will it affect your XI? Should it?

People will talk about their counters, but you have pace at the back there, so hopefully they don't knick one against the run of play.

This is what we are up against, it's an illness.

An illness of the mind being spoon-fed propaganda coupled with the desperation of needing an association with manufactured success. It's too late for the happy couple but such a shame they've passed on their illness to the next generation. Social Services would be a good shout.

 

[big gaz]

Pep knows how important the derby is to the fans though, he's simply saying that he himself has to be unemotional about it in order to do his job better before and during the game.

I agree, but it was much more fun with Bobby Manc, you must agree with that ;-)

 

[citytill1die84]

Oh for sure times have changed,will never like losing or even drawing against them though,sorry

Oh I totally agree I hate the cunts

 

[Odd socks]

9-1
Not sure of the score but confident of Ollie's formation

Ronaldo might score but he isn’t certain to, fernandes has scored the same as him this season in the league. He also isnt their best option getting in behind our high line on the break that would be rashford, greenwood but ole is to scared to leave him out.

 

[Blue Maverick]

Going to be sat in corporate there tomorrow going to be bloody awful unless we win then at the end I will give it to them and get chucked out.

 

[hilts]

Not sure who to leave out KDB or Grealish, fuck it have them both

Ederson

Walker stones Dias
Rodney zinc
Silva foden
KDB Jesus Grealish

Foden and Silva would run rings around scums midfield plus they can naturally alternate with KDB and Grealish in attack. Keep walker back as a counter attack nullifier and zinc can play inverted with Rodri.

Watching the game the other night if I was united I’d exploit the space down our left, Grealish and Cancelo don’t talk to each other or cover, there is a huge hole there when we attack.

Well if they go 5 at the back that will be wan bissaka’s job, not sure he’s really up to it if we keep them pinned back. Not sure they have enough centre backs to go 3 now though.
Think we might play Foden left forward too.

There should be laws against this kind of thing. This lot ought to have to ring a bell to warn decent people of their approach, or only be allowed out between the hours of 9 p.m. and midnight when there's no moon.

 

[Legal Alien]

OH, CITY WE LUV YOU!

 

[ancoats]

think this derby has got so much on it for united and ole. fergie will be doing is rounds before kick off and straight into the officials room with instructions from mike riley. one game does not make a season ? but this derby does for united and ole. no coming back if city win but if ole gets a result he will saved and they start to dream again

the truth is manchester city are a country mile better than united ? but add the officials and VAR and the game will be closer than it should. i think pep been doing his home work very early this season and knows what they are up to and tried to highlight it in midweek in hope they (the officials) will back down

the officials being outed in midweek can be a dodgy thing for city and pep ? but i don't think they will give a shit and the bigger need is to keep this united team and manager in the top 4 race at all cost. plus with the international break they know 2 weeks to shove it under the carpet and forget all about it will help the officials

 

[chickaroon]

Out of all our players he is the one we really don't want to lose for this game

You are right, we need his pace.
