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

The only way we don't take 3 points from this game is corruption. This lot are championship standard, we'll crush them.

 

[citymad]

On paper we should cruise this but it's the derby and with their 12th man plus VAR it''ll even it self out. Would love another sick swan.

Grealish earned a start tonight. Much like people talk about Haaland having credit in the bank. Grealish does too in my eyes. I love Doku but kind of like we saw versus West Ham- I fear a bad touch/pass/etc would play right into United's hands. Give me the more mature/experienced player in Grealish for a game like this all day.

Ederson
Walker Stones Dias Gvardiol
Rodri Bernardo
Foden Alvarez Grealish
Haaland

I think Grealish to start for the control, Doku to come on against tired legs and minds

Ed

Walker
Dias
Stones
Ake

Rodri
Bernardo
Foden

Doku
Haaland
Alvarez

This should be City's 2023-24 coming out party, I'm saying 0-4.

 

[chaddblue]

Can’t wait for this now

Couple of wins under our belt. Erling back in the goals. Nearly fully fit squad and half a dozen key players rested last night

We’re gonna smash the rag twats

 

[bumbleblue]

Don’t care just win..C’mon City.

 

[eyalluvitt]

We're due a penner there aren't we?

If we get one and go on to win I’m gonna party like it’s 1992

Penalty... at the toilet? For City?....You a funny guy..... :D

 

[super_city_si]

Jack played himself into the team on Sunday for me.

Me too, plus pep will know their only threat is the counter and grealish is much less prone to quick turnover than doku

Team picks itself, IMO.

Ederson, Walker, Dias, Stones, Gvardiol, Rodri, Bernardo, Foden, Grealish, Alvarez, Haaland.

Ederson, Walker, Dias, Stones, Gvardiol, Rodri, Bernardo, Foden, Grealish, Alvarez, Haaland.

Can`t argue with that

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.

Oh yes..

 

[burning blue soul]

It's funny how utd fans are thinking maguire and onana have turned some kind of corner. As if they will be vintage Schmeichel and camel gob.
No, you deluded fuckwits... they are still the weak links we will exploit mercilessly.
Maybe a flicker of professional pride will raise the utd performance slightly, but I doubt it. The City lads will raise their own levels to match, anyway.
3-1 seems to be the fashionable scoreline lately, so that's what I'm going with.

 

[ali benarbia's studs]

We're due a penner there aren't we?

Jack starts then.

I cant see it. Way too raw and loses possession too much. Pep goes with Jack (and Phil) all day for this one

Lets start players who know this tie and sub on the noobs later on.

 

[Newman Noggs]

We'll need 3 goals to win this game. We'll score first and start strolling around passing square and backwards. They'll get their mandatory penalty to equalise and a Rashford goal on the break against the run of play. The goal will be reviewed by VAR which will, remarkably given he was two yards offside, decide in united's favour.

Three goals or more is easily doable providing we take the many chances we will create.

Apart from that, I'd be guessing.

 

[Harvster]

I quite liked that swamp derby the other year when we scored within a minute and it was our third chance

 

[bondsman]

After the officiating there last year who knows how this game will turn out. It would be fantastic if this is the game we really click into gear

 

[Roachy]

We have to annihilate this lot on Sunday. We need to make the ref redundant as a saviour for them, and nullify the threat of their last minute luck. I will only be happy with their complete and utter destruction by the boys in blue.

 

[heslops barnet]

Whoever has put us down to lose……just fuck off to shithole Trafford
