United (H) - Sun 2nd Oct, 14:00 | Pre-Match Thread

[Dave.]

Injuries or no injuries it’s always a tough watch regardless!

Let’s hope the boys are ready and up for the battle

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

Kalvin has a recurrent shoulder dislocation that he has just had surgery on , only takes a shove to pop it out so doesnt matter if he was playing or training

 

[Gaz76]

Why ? He is a great player

Because he can be quite slow and ponderous on the ball and is probably the weakest of our 20? Centre halfs

 

[mosssideblue]

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

He shouldn't, his performances this season have been very good

 

[vmsuhail]

That lineup makes the match even.

His shoulder was popping during training so it was nothing really to do with game, but I am fully on board with your feelings regarding that shower from Barca.

 

[TheThirdDeano]

COME ON CITY.

Those aren't words of encouragement, that's a demand.

 

[itsnevereasy]

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

Rodri is injured. Grealish retains possession which is what Pep loves. It’s hardly a weak 11 is it

Well we need him today

 

[HelloCity]

Despise some of our pre match entertainment. Some guy on stage, beemed into the ground, singing ‘When City When, Utd lose’. They turned off his mic for the fans to jump in - silence. Ironic cheers and laughs from the Utd fans. Utd players warming up hearing a band taking the piss out of them etc.

Genuinely awful.

 

[Dax777]

I don't have my glasses. Can someone check for me? Where is ...

 

[Crooked_rain]

That lineup makes the match even.

Does it?

Looking at the two starting 11’s, there’s not really a United player I’d swap for one of ours.

 

[mat]

Shame Alvarez cant get a start

Our supersub should the rag Hobbit stop our Viking...

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

"Mancini got this fixture" for anyone playing derby bingo!

 

[Cobwebcat]

If we can’t win with 3 players out then there is something wrong. It’s a shame that 2 of them are both our CDMs but shit happens. It is far from a crisis. We play to a system whoever plays.

 

[Dax777]

Can someone update the team sheet. I can't find Rodri anywhere. I know it's a typo.

 

[itsnevereasy]

That lineup makes the match even.

Makes it even… go on I’ll bite… who in their 11 gets into ours?

 

[Tangled up in blue.]

XI | De Gea, Dalot, Varane, Martinez, Malacia, McTominay, Eriksen, Fernandes, Antony, Rashford, Sancho.

SUBS | Heaton, Lindelof, Shaw, Fred, Casemiro, Elanga, Pellistri Ronaldo, Martial.

That's a good team the scum have got out

 

[Deleted member 81382]

Rodri is a huge miss but when we've got Haaland up top how can you not still fancy us to win.

Rodri is injured. Grealish retains possession which is what Pep loves. It’s hardly a weak 11 is it

That’s about all he does, just can’t warm to him
