They will try and drag us down to their level. Just hope we don't get sucked in. Just smash em from the off.
 
I would like to see something along these lines, and I wouldn't play KDB as a result?

We isolated him there last season and I have legislated for Gundogan and Silva's ability to also match Kev for creating passes in behind them, for Sterling to run on to, Gundogan likely to have run out of steam after about the hour mark.

Nolito also gives us a cutting edge and perhaps more defensive diligence.


..........BRAVO........

...KOMPANY....OTAMENDI....
...........STONES......
SAGNA..............KOLAROV..
.......FERNANDINHO...
...GUNDOGAN..SILVA...NOLITO
.........STERLING......
 
Cant remember such a high profile league game since the 2011-2012 derby at the etihad. I do worry about the physicality of the united side compared to us so would like to see Kolarov in there over Clichy and possibly give Gundogan a debut if fit over kdb. Personally think the better sides like united will really exploit us with just Fernandinho sitting in the midfield.

...........................Bravo.......................

Sagna/Zaba.........Stones...........otamendi...............Kolarov

.......................Fern................Gundogan................

Sterling.......................Sergio/Kelechi...................Nolito
 
Pep is going to have to play it really cute with this one.

We lack serious height and United are now a big side.

With a new goalkeeper to also protect, and Big nose and Fellaini challenging the back sticks, we have to be considered the underdogs for this one.

We can't afford cheap possession so would drop an extra midfielder in with Fernando.
Didn't I read somewhere that Fellaini is injured?
 
We need to keep our discipline and not get involved in the scrap that Mourinho will try and create, he knows can't match us by playing football so it'll be bully boy tactics.

As ever, they'll be on the wind up from the Presser onwards

Given all the prevailing circumstances, I'd take a draw right now. It's going to be a long season.
I'd always take a draw against those cunts. I think it's the decades of knowing they could turn us over, and I'm still not used to us being better.......so, City's fault!
