Oliver as referee will depend how he feels those Akanji shoulder come together Oliver could easily blow for a pen and won’t be overturned

It’s the first goal that worries me, when was the last time we recovered to win if they scored first

Hopefully someone gives me a recent example ive forgot to ease my stress

I think league cup semi first leg , January 2010, so not that recent . Carlos Tevez scored 2 , after Giggs opened the scoring
 
Can everyone lay off Maguire, I think Erling will be dreading playing against him,so any dark siders lurking here please don't play him. You could play that little fella, or even sneak him on as well and pretend he's a ball boy ,no one will spot him.

Semantics. Pep hasn’t played that way in years. It gives us less control of the football, further back on the pitch.

I reckon there’s 0% chance of 5 at the back on Sunday.

That’s before trying to work out which youth player would be at centre half.

It happens quite a bit on here: people suggest bizarre formations so they can fit players in their team, rather than considering the football side of it. There's also an irrational and inate fear of United due to the past and their incredible run of luck at the Etihad recently.

As if Pep goes for some utterly alien formation which doesn't suit any of our players against a team well below us in terms of ability and at home too.

It’ll be partially to stop the threat of counter attacks and partly because we did it in 2016 to accommodate Aguero and Jesus into the same side. It also gives people something to moan about if he does pick a mad formation and we do lose.

If we stop Eriksen, we stop the rags. We don’t need more people in defence, we just need to keep the ball in the fridge and take enough of our chances.

All that is needed in this game is for Pep not to be silly and remove our "legs" from the team. They have runners so we need to counteract that by playing our energy players Bernardo and Foden. God forbid he plays Mahrez, Grealish and Gundogan in the same side

Have to agree Bernardo and foden are a must or Alvarez for his manic pressing and harrying..
