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

[Vester]

No Rodri, Phillips, Laporte, Dias or Stones in defense, about as bad news as we could get for this game. Expecting United to create a lot of chances from counters. Just praying we will outscore them, but its easier said than done with them probably parking the bus from the first minute. 3-2 City!

Just ordered a delivery of Kleenex.

Wanking?

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

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

Phillips got injured in training 3 weeks ago.

If there was a fuck up with Phillips it was that he didn’t get the surgery in June, but instead had to pop his shoulder twice in 2 months before getting it fixed.

Just got in the ground.
Never seen so many fucking tourists and half n half scarves.
Just sat down two twats in front filming everything for tictak or some other pointless shite.
What's happening to football

Half n half scarves should be banned !

I wish him lighting speedy recovery.

What you watching ? Lol

Split screen of Alfie's boy bumming the rags and the possibility of Natalie Pinkham winning impromptu wet t shirt competion competion on sky F1.

We should just invade the pitch I the next 10 mins and get the game rescheduled to when Rodri is fit.

 

[Manchester_lalala]

Well that is what he did at villa so not an outrageous assumption

But he’s not playing for Villa now, how do you know he isn’t under instruction to keep the ball?

 

[Pedestrian]

I’m not at the game coz our lass is in hospital and due out today. I’m putting everything on Grealish proving a point. I’m not a fan of his but if he’s got it then this is the time to show it. By that I mean game stealing show. Saying that I’d take 1-0 with a scrappy controversial in the 90th.

Screw that.

Set up a zebra pants stall outside the away end and making a killing.

Can’t complain about our defence as arkanji has played really well and ake has done well .

I admire your confidence, but that central defence lacks big match experience. I hope my concerns are unfounded. The big problem will be their pace on the counter, so Walker will be key and he needs a good game today, Bernardo’s energy and control in the middle is also very important. If those two are successfully combining with Ake and Akanji to keep the rag’s attacks down to a minimum then the rest of our team should win this fixture for us.

Congrats mate . One more blue on its way.

 

[argyle]

I just asked some lad outside why the fuck are you wearing that mate.
He looked at me like it's ne that's mad

Why don't you just leave people alone?

Success brings new fans.

I’be been drinking in ancoats and walked up the canal, now at the ground and I’ve seen the sun total of one half and half scarfer and not a single rag.

Funny how everyone’s experience differs!

 

[kaz7]

Scouse bitch on our game , where us the proper studio set up with pundits

 

[SWPISHOME]

Half n half scarves should be banned !

People who wear them should be banned. Twats.

 

[Crooked_rain]

Look at the spend and they have the audacity to say they’re not backed by their owners

Their pace on the counter (I assume) is the reason Guardiola has gone for our quickest 2 CBs.

Haaland, Grealish, Foden, Bernardo, KDB and Gundogan all staring them down.

Must be how Putin feels.

We’re scoring a fuck ton.

Might concede one or two but this game is going to be a laugh.
