United (H) - Sun 14th Sept, 16:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[MCFC1993]

Kick off time 16:30 (BST).

I hope they can work out what is happening in the next 2 weeks, the balance is just completely off.

If we lose to this lot then we have got problems.

Amorim will do number on Pep yet again. They won’t even have the Banana man in net to try help bail us out

We are losing this. I don’t rate United but they at least fought back against Arsenal, Grimsby and Burnley. Can the same be said about us? I expect us to lose the next three before we call it a day on Guardiola.

Maybe a good game to have, because if the players can't lift themselves for a home derby then we really are in trouble.

 

[Fordyboy46]

Huge game this, play like we have done these last two matches and we'll get beat simple as that. We haven't beaten them under Amorim as well, need to up performance levels 100%. That 2nd half in particular today was totally unacceptable

We didn't last season mate

Fast forward two weeks . "So so good in transition, so so good."

 

[Bluemoonadam]

Scum will win this, its become so predictable. Maybe we do actually need change wether people want to admit that or not its up to them.

 

[BlueMoonz1977]

Currently 2 shite teams will play each other. Will we win, hard to actually say going of what we have seen so far

 

[I'm Blue]

Stick a fan in training all week and get these players fired up.
I don’t give a fuck about Spursy or Brighton this is a derby and I expect 100% effort, heart and desire.
Think I’ll be left disappointed.

 

[Dobsy]

We will go 1-0 up and lose 2-1.

 

[Damanino]

Ahh this game. if they raise their game and we wont they will win this. both Pep and Interim will spend two weeks going over tactics for this. strange thing they looked better vs Arsenal in round 1 than we did vs Spurs or Brighton.
underdog mentality can help them too here.

we really fucking should rip them apart, by 3/4 goals, but if they counter us we are not able to defend counters.

 

[RobinHood]

Cherki out.

 

[Columbia]

Pep will set up for a 0-0 as per the away derby last season.

Yeah get the vibe Ric, but I'd suggest some won't actually know what this game means.
Hope the local lads, and the one's who've been involved make it CRYSTAL clear.
I have a bad feeling about this one - so far we've failed to improve on last seasons results (Spurs (h) loss, Brighton (a) loss), and based on those performances nothing has changed.
I maintain utd are utter shit - but we pulled off results when the roles were reversed.

 

[OldhamBlue94]

The least confident I’ve been going into a derby in years.

 

[Haaland94]

Donnarumma, Stones (at RB), Khusanov, Gvardiol, Ake, Rodri, Nico G, Reijnders, Savinho, Marmoush, Haaland

 

[Father Paul]

Pep will set up for a 0-0 as per the away derby last season.

Which I think we will get. Its so depressing currently that its hard to see anything better. A defeat and a highly likely hammering at Arsenal may see calls for Pep to step down.

Its just a shame we dont raise our game these days, every time we lose a game we can't say they are game raisers. We look fucking useless atm not much different from last season. They didnt exactly play good when they beat us last season.

Even if they have him we'd just pass it around from side to side instead of peppering that clown.
