[pudge]

Die Hard is a solid two hour watch, just sayin'

 

[dublin-blue]

For as much as i love pep at the helm, it never felt like the 'got' this fixture. Bobby manc hated this lot.

 

[lonestay]

Just get the ball to Erling let him do his thing , we will be fine .

 

[PragueBlue]

No Ruben and no Rodri. This does not bode well.

Living up to your username again ;-)

 

[PaleBlue]

Rodri is a big miss, and of course Rashford starts for them. I dol ike Gundo though, not a bad reserve as DM.

 

[LongsightM13]

Take our chances and we win easily, simple as that

 

[kaz7]

I feel that i will not look up till we score or something happens , feel to nervous to watch it closely

 

[mcfc_ms]

How does McPlugface still get in their team ahead of Casemiro?

 

[MichaelFrontzeck'sBathroom]

Was hoping he’d pick Alvarez for this but silly me, no idea what he sees in grealish tbh. Also why isn’t Rodri playing? Pep needs to cut this shit out play your strongest XI against these cunts and we bury them

 

[Paul1970]

Why did we sign a crock to deputise for Rodders?
Gundo has had some good games as a 6 in the past, though at cdm vs England on Monday I thought he was shite.

Why did we play a meaningless friendly because that is the game which has fucked Phillips . Playing a friendly against a team that has no intention of paying for any of the players they have signed . Fucking disgrace

 

[Gaz76]

Happy with that team, have to say ake worries me though

 

[PragueBlue]

If Walker gets caught in midfield we are in trouble as they will be looking for that . Walker needs to stick to his position.

He will do what he's instructed to do by Guardiola.

 

[CityDean]

Must say I'm a bit concerned with that team then again Utd are very average offensively, feel like 2 goals should get us the win, 3 will definitely do it.

 

[mcfc_ms]

Happy with that team, have to say ake worries me though

Why? He’s been excellent this season

 

[Cambo]

Just seen the team. No defensive mid. Ouch. Clearly Rodri is injured?

 

[Cobwebcat]

I don't know... it's one of those cdm-less lineups like in the cl final that didn't work out. Where' s Dias?

Bench

 

[kaz7]

Happy with that team, have to say ake worries me though

Why ? He is a great player

Calf injury in training yesterday according to Pol

If he broke down in a meaningless friendly he was likely to break down.

Maybe that’s not a bad thing. Best thing to do as a manager and player is see it as another game, we are the better side anyway.

We toyed with them last season. They shouldn’t on our level these days, so Pep hyping them up as rivals or hating them because they’re in the same city might make the players give them too much respect or try too hard.

If we play near our best, we win. That’s all Pep needs to get.
