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

What a blunder by Amorim to give City 48 hours to practise set-piece routines for Bayindir. He was always likely to play but now Amorim has confirmed it, then we should be examining what mistakes he's made and practising.

Other teams are targeting Bayindir but will City?

Lol, we practice set pieces ?

It's time for Big Erl to step up and deliver in these games. He has had smoke blown up his ares this week so fucking destroy the cunts.

 

[Goater101]

If stones isn't fit I would play

Khusa - Dias - gvardiol - oreily

I'd much prefer oreily playing left fullback than Rico or nunes on the other side.

This but with Ake left back.

 

[Sibierskii]

Completely agree, there's a lot of focus on how bad united are but if we lose this then we will most probably be on 3 points out of 5 games and they will be on 6-9 points.

Key points:
- Out of 5 games, we have only beaten an Amorim side once.
- If we concede first then there MAY not be a way back into the game for us.
- Mbuemo and Cunha will try to abuse our high line.

We need a big start to the game, get Haaland all over Bayinder for set pieces and need to pull the trigger more often when we camp outside their box. A derby win tomorrow would send the lads into the first UCL game happy and give us some real hope for Arsenal away. While I would love it if we suddenly turned up and picked them apart, I think it's going to be a harder job than that.

Cunha isn’t fit.

Lol, we practice set pieces ?

Set pieces, throw ins, corners & penalties don’t think so or shooting outside the box

 

[bobbyowenquiff]

please play 3 midfielders Pep. preferably Rodri, Nico (either one) and Reindeers.

none of this 4 attackers bollocks please we are too crap at the back right now for it

Stones, Khusanov, Dias, Gvardiol

Rodri, Gonzales, Reijnders

Foden/Bobb Haaland Doku

Good line-up. This should give more protection to the back four. United can only get a result if we let them break on us. They have not outplayed us in any match for more than a decade. We gifted the game to them last season. We will always outscore them. I am expecting us to win by at least three clear goals. They fluked it last season with the draw at their place and total madness from City in injury time at home. Donnaruma and Rodri will be our leaders on the field. Something we have not had for a long time.

I feel sick at the thought of tomorrow's game

I'm not , we're gonna smash the cunts they're shite

Haaland has an unbelievable record in Derby matches. He will soon be our greatest ever scorer in games against United.

Watching back last seasons highlights fuck me that capitulation at the end cannot happens again

I know we've a few back but look at that list lol

That site is a joke wont be back

 

[Father Paul]

We scored first last season and thought we’d done enough, a similar attitude last time out against Brighton. We need that ruthlessness back that kills the game while we’re on top

Sadly that killer instinct has been missing for a while now.

 

[eyalluvitt]

Just a win would be nice. Dont care how we get it.

A dodgy last minute penalty winner would be nice although history says we only get one every 30 years v these

Haaland has an unbelievable record in Derby matches. He will soon be our greatest ever scorer in games against United.

He did jack shit last season and his record in big games isn't that great. He needs to bully the fuvk out of defenders . He has had media blow the smoke in his arse , he has also said we need to stop fucking around , let's see if he true to his word.

 

[eyalluvitt]

If I wasn’t already crying I would have laughed

 

[Gray]

Are we confident?

No.

 

[Paleblue2]

A win tomorrow and we're right up there, with Sunderland, Bournemouth and Everton. A loss doesn't bear thinking about.

 

[Gray]

It's time for Big Erl to step up and deliver in these games. He has had smoke blown up his ares this week so fucking destroy the cunts.

He will be completely anonymous as we haven’t a clue how to provide him with the correct service.

 

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

Fucking hate these Rags

Please do them City

 

[SWP's back]

Looking back historically for a long long time no team has lost 5 games and won the title.

City in 2012 and with 89 points right?

But excluding seasons when city won it as it doesn’t count for this calculation, 89 points would have won the league in 9 of the 13 years since.

 

[noseve]

I feel sick at the thought of tomorrow's game

Even when we're utter crap (by City standards) I just luuuurrrrrvvv derby-day. The Pre-Match-Tension is almost unbearable.

I also hate them. Similar emotions to the annual RM face-off, really.

Having had an annoying international break has only added an extra edge.

Bring it on!
