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

[Axel Freed]

Even allowing for advances in sports science and athletic capability I wouldn’t be surprised if this was the slowest derby team we’d ever fielded.

The blind optimist in me sees Gundog turning in the centre circle and spraying a ball down the right wing for Kev to ping over a cross first time to the far post where an onrushing O’Reilly buries a bullet header in the back of the net.

Come on you blues

 

[Blu1]

O'Reilly starting. Great news.

About the only positive in that line up

 

[Rodri’s ACL]

We didn’t spend £200m in January for no reason, why are we back playing a team from november (bar moush)

 

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

Line up is pretty much what I expected pep to go with. We're going for control. We're betting on a fired up Kevin. If it clicks it could be a lovely afternoon.

Same as the 2nd half of the Bournemouth game, kinda agree. and letting Nico/Nunes run the width.

 

[King Jay]

[come-on-barney]

The most negative lineup, we should have gone at them from the start.

 

[The Norfolk Blue]

Got 0 - 0 written all over this

I’ll take that if Brentford can hang on v Chelsea.

 

[christened at st marks]

My brain hurts

 

[Cobwebcat]

He’s just gone with experience.

He might be right but we will see because there is a lot on our bench that could run a tiring rag side ragged.

 

[mexico1970]

Sad fuckers both the rags and this shit betting app

We could always retaliate with Munich evictions and condemned meat scarves.

Hope we eviscerate these cunts today.

That window no was just bizarre. £200 million!

 

[Blu1]

How does savi, nico & kush not start ???

Even one of Jack & doku should be starting for me.

I just can’t understand

 

[red 2 hats]

Hope for the best, but fear the worse, not liking that starting line up, zero pace, strange from Pep.

 

[Gaz76]

He's a sentimental fucker is our pep, problem is there's no room for that in this kind of game, gundo/Bernardo/KDB and foden in the same line up would have been the side everyone else would have picked FIVE years ago FFS

 

[kaz7]

Start a pep out thread then as you and a few familiar posters obviously think he’s shite and you all know better

Nothing seems to have changed since i have been away then ?

 

[MillisleBlue]

Based on nowt but pure defiance - come on you fucking Blues!

 

[DWIFF]

73% think we’re winning this.
Madness.

 

[Bluewars II]

Is that your own head or have you borrowed it off an idiot ?

You're a deluded fool.

 

[Eccles Blue]

The Boys in Blue never give in, they fight to the end. Come on City, come on City. Show 'em lads, show 'em all. Especially that load of Trafford wannabees.
Especially the know nowt, alleged media whatchamacallomes, the addlepated blunderbusses wouldn't know a football from a foosball. Fools that they are.
Especially the Specsavers needing, whistle blowing personages who consider themselves officials. Official jolterhead, puffguts maybe. They are taking far too long to realise who we are! We are: MANCHESTER CITY, THE BEST TEAM IN THE LAND AND ALL THE WORLD.

Come on City throw six or seven or even eight in their nets!!! :-) :-) ;-)

 

[Ajm1985]

3 starts in 8 days for Gundo
