Just start well and get at them from the off.
No going 2 down and then suddenly waking up when it's all too late.

Ole happy, he's been allowed to stay up late on a school night to watch the game !

I love Micah

Your understanding of 'best 11' differs from Pep. This may be the best 11 for the formation and tactics he believes will win the day.

Nail on head and something I have said many times, we don't have a "best 11" anymore

how coul you not watch this with a nice bottle of red

Exactly what I'm doing.

Interesting line up, OGS will have no idea what to make of it!

Looks to me like Pep is putting the emphasis on us blocking off the counter and inviting the rags to come out and attack us.

Sterling's form this season has been immense but he's yet to score against United. Perfect time for him to change that.

I'm predicting a 2-1 City win.

there are some real fannies on here,if utd put that team out in any prem game you would expect them not to win,we have quality all over the pitch,they wont be able to handle us

I think some are worried about a lack of pace. You're right, it shouldn't be a problem, especially keeping the ball but it's all about approach; if we go at them and leave the defence exposed to counter attacks it'll be the same story as at our place. I doubt Pep will fall for that again.

Just listening to the build up on 5Live. Currently ranting on about Rag's transfer policy and about who they should buy. Apparently, they aren't a club that goes for marque signing's - Well, apart from Pogbad, Fred, Piano Man, McGuire, oh and also Lilly Savage saying Maddison will be perfect for them at £80M.

PMSL!!!!!

£160M in 2 windows on 2 players is the 'new' Nited way.
