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

I can see a couple of our midfield getting booked for panic 'professional' fouls as they counter-attack - might result in enforced substitutions like last week, fingers crossed.

Can’t be bothered to read back, why isn’t Gonzalez on the bench at least, Is he injured?

He is on the bench.

Pre match thread rinse and repeat

To be fair this season it’s been pretty accurate.

Foden will either be hooked at half time or have a hat trick inside 25 minutes. Liking the look of Marmoush playing there.

We won at the Swamp with Benjamin and Vassell upfront. We can win with that 11.

Give your fannies a wipe and let's get behind the lads.

Pep on not giving Kev a new deal "The club has to move forward"..

The next day, all the oldies in the lineup

Great, my post was because you said this

“Cause it works”

it does work at times...klopp used it numerous times...utd have done it to us....Leicester did it to us...wolves as well

When teams have beaten us in the league, how many have outplayed us our way before this year...very few if any....so it is an effective way of playing against us and therefore it does work

the only plus before the game is if we lose its not the end of the world as chelsea dropped points
come on lets win this and make it count

 

[jimharri]

He is on the bench.

Strange decision. Surely, he has more energy than Gundogan or Kovacic to deal with the likes of Rat or Garnacho.

 

[youngbob]

Wonder if it's

Ederson
Nunes Dias Gvardiol O'Reilly
Bernardo Kovacic Gundogan
Foden De Bruyne Marmoush

 

[Blue-Ghana]

again no pace upfront

 

[HolisticJim]

So back to mostly tried and tested who have failed every challenge this season.

Of the three new players former what looks like a decent spine to the team we start with a only 1 who was forced.

Pep. Wtf.

We will go 1 down and just after half time, stop with the loyalty bullshit to the old guard, bring on the new boys and pull one back.

Same old same old.

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

I'm definitely not a 'Pep out', but be honest, weren't you at least a little deflated to see that lineup?

Losing to the rags is always end of the world :)

 

[bladdered]

It’s us getting the points deduction, not the dippers [emoji23]

Tough luck dippers. Still all to play for...we're gonna win the league!

 

[dannyboiblue]

12 months ago that's the team obviously halland out would destroy this united team. Hope I'm wrong but where is the pace coming from this time around

 

[axlgod]

Come On City!!!

However, we are MANCHESTER CITY and we don't (hopefully) rely on other teams not doing their job. We rely on being THE BEST TEAM IN THE LAND AND ALL THE WORLD. :-) ;-)
