United (A) - Sun 6th Apr, 16:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[remember arthur mann]

We'll miss big Erl not only at the front, but at the back.

Win midfield we win this game. I don’t want to see only 1 player holding midfield & im sorry but I don’t want to see Gundy or Kev start this game.

Would love to see Jack, Kova & nico sit deep & let mahmoosh doku & savi run riot in front of them

i'd say most of our best wins this season have come with gundo and nico as the partnership you need gundo for his passing ability

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

We'll miss big Erl not only at the front, but at the back.

We'll be fine without him. We won the league without a striker remember.

 

[Columbia]

Nunes is the interesting one for me, going forward he's improved a lot over the last few games, defensively at full back he's a problem. So I guess it depends how Pep plays this, for solidity and control its Khush at RB, for an extra man going forward its Nunes. Gundog has been better in recent games and Scum midifeld isn't exactly bursting with pace so I think we'll start as:

Ederson

Nunes/Khush
Dias
Gvardiol
O'Reilly

Nico
Gundog
KDB

Savinho
Grealish
Marmoush

Agree with that plus Nunes actually has some pace.

 

[St.Pauli support]

I expect the same fighting attitude we've recently seen again to win this final derby for Kev. No nonsense, defence and offence.

COME ON CITY.

 

[Goater101]

Nunes simply can’t play for that fuck up in the last derby

 

[hertsblue]

Will be a tight game.
Rags are poor but solid with lots of defensive players atm and we have next to no goals or creativity in the team.
Just need to watch set pieces as we are as awful defending them as we are taking them and they pose a threat from them.

 

[Chippy_boy]

We'll be fine without him. We won the league without a striker remember.

Yes but we had some midfield players who could score themselves then. The output from that lot this season has been woeful.

 

[jimharri]

Keep "O Rato" quiet and we win this one. Like Salah for the dips, he's been carrying "TWGC"™ single handedly this season.

 

[Chippy_boy]

Sorry but we've boen bloody awful too many times this season and also our record against them lately is not exactly brilliant. I think we'll lose. What's concerning is, I don't seem to be that bothered. In years gone by I would be depressed for a week after losing to that lot.

23/24 beat them home and away
22/23 beat them at home lost away to a horrendous offside goal
21/22 beat them home and away
yeah sure our record isn't brillant haha yeah we lost this season but apart from that last 3 season we have dominated them

We’ve won 7 lost 4 drawn 1 in the last 12 all comps against them

 

[Metal Biker]

As much as the fans are up for it, I don't get the impression the players are.
I really hope they prove me wrong, but I see this being a frustrating, dull and passionless affair.
At this point who cares as long as we get the win.

 

[burning blue soul]

Nunes simply can’t play for that fuck up in the last derby

He's got at least one major fuck-up in him in every game.
Teams will target him, hell, they already do!!

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Already lost once to the worst rag side of all time. Don't you dare do it again City.

 

[Danny Hoekman]

I wouldn't know. I never watch them.

 

[kearsley blue]

Think we really need to be careful today, United love a hoofed ball to a fast player, we can't defend it. Just hope Marmoush and savio shoot on site, And Onana has a shit game

Why would you say that? Against Bournemouth the players were clearly up for it; last game at Leicester they did what they had to. If you think the players won’t be up for it today I suggest youve been spending too much time in the Matchday thread

 

[Norbert D]

One thing that could work in our favour is their season is now down to the Europa Cup and they play on Thursday. Whilst they do have a free hit in their position against us, I doubt any of them want to risk injury. Having said that City do have a habit for looking a gift horse in the mouth.

What gives you that impression, be truthful…
