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

[Metal Biker]

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

We'll see

 

[Metal Biker]

What gives you that impression, be truthful…

Their perfomances this season

 

[Rodri’s ACL]

Eddie
Khus Ruben Josko NO’R
Nico G Kova
Savinho Phil Grealish
Marmoush

 

[jimharri]

I wouldn't know. I never watch them.

You read the media? And follow the sport in general?

 

[SWP's back]

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

He is not known for his great takes or reasoning tbf.

Where’s everyone drinking pre-match? Just got off the tram and in the fanzone at the cricket ground. Less than 10 people here at the moment so a piece of piss getting served!

 

[Always Ali]

Scum

5th at the moment and fa cup semi final, ah well can’t win ‘em all eh!

 

[standupifyouhatemanu]

Not sure if this has been answered, who takes our pens with Haaland out?

I’d say who takes the pens when he’s back !!

It's not really the gotcha you think it might be.

As I said, we'll see.

 

[GaudinoMotors]

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.

Are you Phil Foden?

Imagine what their fans are thinking then.

 

[remember arthur mann]

Expect the big up and unders from the rags, it kicked for them last time.

 

[.db.]

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

This is nowhere near the worst Rag side of all-time. There was a time United were that bad that they were going to get voted out of the Football League.

 

[ancoats]

I thought of saying, Well at least the title is not on the line today ?? But the truth is I think it is a Very Big Game for the future and next season's plans, Champions League football is a must and the way things are looking 5th place is good enough for that, We are on the tails of 3rd and 4th place and NO room for any dropped points,

If that is not the wake-up call for the players today then I don't know what is, I don't care what kind of game it's going to be (Open or Tight) what we must do is score more than them and win the game,

YES, they will have the match Officials in their camp and we know they will give us nothing, So we need to be better than them and not give them the chance to change the game, YES, we are better than them all over the park and let's show them we are not done,

Fight for the Badge and Shirt is all we ask ? and the 3 points as well

 

[BringBackSwales]

We'll see

That’s the spirit. You almost sound like you want it to be the case. Weird attitude

Glass half empty then kinda guy

 

[simon23]

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

Problem is Savio hasnt been able to hit a barn door so far...his shooting is the one area he needs to work on massively.

I’m hoping they eased up at 2-0 in the week as they were starting to focus on winning at the swamp

People complain about this however like its not a valid way to play football!!!

yes its ugly
Yes its basic
Yes its lower league kind of stuff

BUT its a clear way of combating how we play and we have to be a team/manager who can also play against it...

If we are going to play a high line with fullbacks up on the edge of teams areas of course team are going to play long balls into the channels or over the top for fast pacey players....simple reason is cause it works!
