United (A) - Sun 29th Oct, 15:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[MCFC1993]

Kick off time 15:30 (GMT), clocks change at 2am Sunday prior to the game as a heads up. Live on Sky Sports for those in the UK.

I don't know any other way to say this other than this lot are shite and we owe them a battering.

With that said, I look forward to whatever new offside rule they invent and apply in this one. That's their best chance of beating us.

Think Pep will go with:
-------------------Ederson
Walker---Stones---Dias---Gvardiol
---------------------Rodri
---------Bernardo---Alvarez
Foden---------Haaland------Grealish

I'd probably start Ake.

 

[Blu1]

Destroy them city

 

[roy.or.r]

We are gonna lose by 8 goals. Onana hattrick.

 

[Bluemoonadam]

Finish our chances and we will win its that simple

 

[Ric]

Think Pep will go with:
-------------------Ederson
Walker---Stones---Dias---Gvardiol
---------------------Rodri
---------Bernardo---Alvarez
Foden---------Haaland------Grealish

Yeah, I think that has to be the starting XI too.

Amends for last year after the Refereeing shambles by Atwell.

 

[mosssideblue]

Ok raggies, we're coming for you

 

[blue b4 the moon]

One last Saturday
Two tonight

Just sayin'.

 

[Damanino]

please beat these fuckers. they are rubbish, only way they can hurt us is counterattacks if we lose the ball in a stupid way.

was very angry last year we lost 2-1 t old toilet, first of all because the laughable offside goal but then we conceded another one out of the blue. we need to keep our concentration even if the ref will be their best player which is likely.

 

[Mike N]

Jack played himself into the team on Sunday for me.

 

[eyalluvitt]

At least Fati won’t score against us two weekends on the trot as Luke Shaw is out injured

 

[DTKOAG]

Paul Tierney referee same as Cup Final when Casemiro should of been sent off for the shithouse lunge on Akanji.

 

[BlueMonkey79]

Best BLUE pub in and around Manchester to watch this?

All my family are rags apart from me and my sister.

Lees (Oldham) is predominantly red. Most of the boozers will be full of em, so don't want to breathe the same air as the fuckers.

Much appreciated

So the build up begins in the media , cue the win for Bobby bullshit , drag Cuntona away from his guitar to blow smoke up the Rags arse , Shrek's overhead kick on a loop on Sky , will be glad when its Sunday 3.30pm and our players look into the Rags players eyes , let the fun begin.

You have to presume that Utd will play with a double pivot of 2 ot of the 3 of Mctominay, Amrabat and Casemiro as surely they wont be as open as they were against Copenhagan or Sheff Utd. They actually improved slightly however when they brought on Eriksen for Amrabat

They will play defensively and hit it on the break to their speedsters...they always do and that is the way they are dangerous. Dont lose possession in the mid third of the pitch - think this will see Grealish start over Doku

We need to be more clinical and more creative than we have been so far for a lot of this season. This wont be the easy game some presume as we should know better than anyone else, anything can happen in a derby match and form goes out the window.

City win 3-1 for me. We played them off the park there back in January (last season) mind was boggled leaving that shithole as to how we'd lost. Time to atone for the errors that day.

Where are all blues boozing pre match? Those cockneys will have all the city centre boozers taken up.
