United away - pre-match thread

My only concern is their height. Need to make sure we avoid giving away needless free kicks and corners. Also have to be ruthless in front of goal.
 
It just got a little bit harder Cheatenburg is the ref. The odds on a rag penalty and a City red card must have plummeted like a lead falcon.
 
Anyone suggesting the rags are deluded thinking they should win I would point out that the bookies have them favourites. generally 5/4 whereas we are 9/4.
We remain favourites for the title however.
 
gundogan I think was always going to be pencilled in for this one? seems to have been training solid now for 3 weeks and also had a gentle 2 weeks previous? sagna I also think will be fit to start as I reckon pep held him back for the derby as well. company at least will be in the matchday squad imo but a lot will depend on who comes back fit. hes done well but really don't fancy kolarov at CB for this one at all!! my team:

bravo
sagna
otamendi
stones
kolarov
dinho
gundogan
silva
de bruyne
sterling
nolito

We've not won in the last three encounters, so I don't see where some of the more bolder statements of victory are coming from?

They've improved, we've improved. First goal is always seemingly crucial in the big games.

Still think they have more at stake and a draw should not be seen as a bad result at this time.

I would take a draw............

Just hope the ref is not Twattenburg - as that will be their best chance.

I am sure I saw a post saying that unfortunately it was and that there was a thread - must have been a Stella induced dream as I cannot find one
 
I dreamt that Kelechi got through one-on-one and dinked it over De Gea for a late winner.

Celebration exactly the same as his first ever goal vs Palace.

City win. Come on!!

Agree with you, my post was not directed at anyone in particular but there does seem a bit of a feeling on the thread that the rags are deluded in thinking they will win
 
So now that the build up in the media has properly started are we going to have a sweepstake on which City player will be revealed in the papers on Friday or Saturday as being desperately unhappy / ready to ask for a transfer / have set fire to their bathroom etc etc. There's always at least one of these type of stories that appears!
 
i really feel this game could go either way. first goal will be crucial. Both teams fired up and we will need to keep our heads.

going to be a fantastic game though i feel. Plenty of swings and roundabouts im sure.

Definitely both teams sternest tests so far this season so it will be interesting too see who comes out on top. Whoever wins it will get a massive boost, just hope its us.

Heart says a city win but head says a draw.
 
personally can't see either team as favourite. Those who underestimate United are naive.

I am going for the Mirror tomorrow with a story about either Sterling or Yaya
