Just thought the same, a back 7 (wow) don’t think we ever played as negative a line up in our darkest days against this lot, they don’t even carry much pace in their line up either, hard to see where their threats come from, we’ll press pass tackle better & run more so that just leaves see pieces & crumbs for 70 minutes before introducing Rashford/Sancho/Martial, by that time we will be 3 up

I wish I shared your optimism. Something tells me it's going to be tense.
 
Everyone thinks it’s a stroll this,No fuckin chance these twats pull it out of the hat when they want to,just don’t give silly free kicks away around the box.
 
This recent change of formation by the Rags has thrown me, you could always bank on this Derby as being one where they would generally come at us all guns blazing and we would have to weather the storm for the first 10 minutes before then start to impose ourselves on the game.

But with 7 defensive players I can't see how they can do this, it gives us a real opportunity to press them from the off but we need to be wary of Greenwoods pace.
 
If they are all lined up in front of the alpaca then we need to keep trying thunderbastards , it will deflect and maybe hit a hand or two , then i remembered olivar , do it anyway

Which team is supposed to be at home???
It looks like Ushited have gone with a back 5 / 6.
Absolutely shitting themselves. No intention of trying to play football. Hoof ball to Ronny and hope for the dive in the box.
They’ll get a penalty and we will be reduced to 10.

That Liverpool result has shit them up as they know if they played like that against us we could score 7 or 8. They have to play like this against us, unfortunately for us. Hopefully their thick fans don’t understand this and start screaming at them to get out and attack us and their team does so.

Two goalkeepers on our bench, am I missing something?

It's either name Carson in the squad who is by all accounts an extremely valuable member of the squad in the dressing room which will help the starting 11 or name a kid who has even less chance than Carson of stepping on the pitch. No matter what his position, there's no scenario where a kid makes their debut today so it's even more pointless than a 3rd keeper.
 
Unusually not nervous at all about today , if the worst happened and we lost it will be by the odd goal unlike in years gone by and we were fearful of a hammering , but if we win we are capable of scoring plenty of goals and annihilating these scummy bastards.
Looking at the Rags line up he has a £500m team set up for damage limitation what other manager would get away with that , only the paperboy because the dewy eyed Rags are still remembering 1999.
Can understand why Pep has benched Grealish he needs a high octane , high press against a tedious and boring opposition , if its tight with 20 minutes left then Grealish and Mahrez can come on and produce that bit of magic.
The Rags are nowhere near a team who can challenge for the title so a defeat for them changes little , but if we lose and fall eight points behind the Chavs then it will cause a problem , we have to keep the Chavs and Dippers in our sights and take advantage of the home fixtures against them
Derby Day............bring it on.
 
Get an early goal and these have to take chances. Then pick them off. Come on City we have played some awesome footy this year. Let's show the footballing world we are the Only Manchester team with a mauling.
