De Bruyne is clearly just as dangerous as Silva, i don't think you'll have a problem slicing through us. I just hope we have the sense to play 3 in midfield and give Herrera a game.

Tbf i reckon the resemblance is pretty dead on. To give him the name Bastian as well is surely taking the mick.

I always thought Kuyt was a good player. As a United fan i used to hate seeing him line up against us, since he seemed to always pull something out of the bag. Never stopped running either.

Haven't seen him play since his injury. This could backfire, the last thing we need at United is another crock. As long as we don't put all our eggs in one basket i'll be happy.

I'd hardly call that whinging. I stated my reasons for not getting carried away with our form.

I'm not exactly asking for symptahy, it's just a facht. We've thought several times that we'd turned a corner, only to go and get dicked by Swansea a week later.

I'll agree form doesn't really come into it. Same with any big game, derby etc. I'd take 1-1 now, but it really could go either way.

Tell me about it! I'm less nervous about playing Liverpool these days. City seem to have something over us, i would liken it to what we have over Arsenal but in the light of recent events... Yep, exactly that. Toure always turns up, Silva plays well, Aguero etc. The big players turn up. Apart...

I actually didn't come here to gloat about us beating the mighty Aston Villa, you'll be shocked to hear :) Was just seeing how the mood is before the derby. How confident are you approaching this one, as opposed to last time?

Young's been very good for a while now, i'd hope we persist with him. Even at the expense of Di Maria, who's been awful. I know he has 13 assists, but in open play Young is a lot more fluid, and actually manages to run more than 6 feet with the ball and not fall over. I'd start him next sunday.

Re: The Dog & Duck Pub Team (aka United) Thread 2014/15 Defence still far from convincing. Jones giving away his customary pen, Evans still looking every bit a competition winner. Best we'll get next month is Vlaar, but who are we to turn our noses up? If he can play 2 in a row, i'm game.

Re: The Dog & Duck Pub Team (aka United) Thread 2014/15 Yeah i saw that, he's just guessed since he can't see around Skrtyl. Bad call to drop Mignolet, who didn't do anything wrong against Basle. If you're going to drop an average keeper for one much worse, do it before a top 4 six pointer...

Re: The Dog & Duck Pub Team (aka United) Thread 2014/15 Small margins. Amazing how we seemed to be doing everything in our power to let Liverpool score but they didn't fancy it. Similar with the Arsenal game. A better striker (or any at all for that matter) and we'd have been punished. We...

I think that was indeed the case, when we lined up we had the more expensive eleven. The main thing that i think gets a lot of United fans hung up on the whole 'spending' thing is that United (ignoring the debt, glazers thing completely) by and large are a self-sufficient club. I.e selling...

I'm not overly impressed by him tbf. He was gash on loan at Brum last year. We'll see how he does but i reckon he's there purely because he's left footed. Rojo will surely come in for him when fit.

I'm posting on Redcafe too. Didn't want you to feel left out now, did I?

Good hit, Young.

haha. I was actually pretty happy when he signed a new deal. If only he could get something resembling a run on the right hand side rather than a game followed by a 10 minute sub appearance, then nothing for 2 months. He's nowhere near as bad as Valencia or Young. I refuse to believe we paid 16m...

Too right, it's marked on my calendar.

I wouldn't fancy our chances against Sunderland either tbf.
