Put our chances away we win, that simple.
We don't and we get caught on the counter like we have done before then we could be in trouble

 

[Dodgy Gangster]

Acid test for Kyle - we’ll see whether he’s lost a yard or not against these kick and rush hoofers. Dias and Stones at the back. I’d squeeze Gundog in there somehow, calm head, big game player.

 

[Didsbury Dave]

That's buggered it up then.

Ever heard of tempting providence? Or complacency?

My comments on here will not affect the result, honestly.

You can’t prove that…

Pretty much as it has been for the last 10 years, when was the last time we were actually outplayed by them?

I remember a 4-2 at their place with Fellaini scoring I think? Pre Pep I'm sure though.

Bad feeling we will lose this one, our record against them In previous years isn't great, god I fucking hate derbies

Very recent form against them is excellent. No need to look back too far as changes in both teams really can't show a precedent.

That's possibly the only derby in 10-11 years that they actually deserved to win because we were dreadful. They've had unbelievable luck against us otherwise, mainly at the Etihad. It's about time we got the luck and if we do we will put 6 past this lot.

Yes I agree, however our record - albeit at home against them is nothing short of dreadful in the past few seasons
5 defeats in the last 8 games (7 league and 1 cup) which suggests we haven't learnt our lesssons at times although I am not sure how you can legislate for an abundance of chances missed in 2018

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Hope they get their equalliser in first...

 

[Kamaro011]

Ofc our undefeated form will be broken against the rags, perfect recipe for usual "typical city" moment of season FFS.

 

[Kippax77]

At least the players who been in internationals will have at least 5 days rest before we take on the rags

Sancho and Rashford have had about 5 weeks rest..... conveniently

[kaz7]

Hahahahaha, predictable

Haaland by the odd goal in four.

I don't think people quite realise how much he wants to punish this shite.

Nor, what a game changer he is.

If they try to play on the counter, it means we have the ball, it means we are camped on the edge of their box, it means...

Haaland.

2.5-1.5? Odd goal in 4? ;-)
