We’re going to finish second win or lose, United need to finish in the top 4 this year, particularly with them being hit the hardest with lost matchday revenue. I’d sacrifice 3 useless points for a major setback that could take years for them lot to rectify

If we lose one game until the end of the season this is the one to lose.

Come on City, no shots on target against us yet, let's take them apart.

 

[Blu3m00n91]

Ederson; Walker Fernandinho Laporte Mendy; Rodri gundogan; De Bruyne Sterling Bernardo Mahrez (False 9)

I want Foden to start, but I reckon it will be Rodri holding with Gundogan and KDB ahead of him.

 

[Blu1]

Win this then beat Liverpool!

 

[Stoned Rose]

I think I’m in the camp of reluctantly hoping we lose for this. We’ve got literally nothing to gain from this game, the remainder of our season is simply about preparing for the cups now and if it helps keep united out of the top 4 I can take a defeat. Plus if Liverpool beat palace and then we drop points they’ll win the league, giving it to them will dampen their celebrations even more and ruin any potential mass celebration their cultist fans might have been secretly planning. When we won the league officially after united lost there wasn’t the same level of enjoyment as doing it ourselves.

Rag.

 

[Easy]

Newcastle game is much, much more important.

Expect to see some rested for it.

Not Cancelo he’s shit

had high (ish) hopes for this lad, not too sure now but hey you never know but not sure he's going to get a reasonable run of consecutive games to build some moral and firm, we will see

need to win this , we are not giving Wimbledon 1990 a guard of honour , i want the Dippers at our place trying to take our title when we play them at the Etihad , our strongest team is better than there's no question, i can see a Pep tactical masterclass. We know what the Dippers will do , they don't have a plan B, and Klippety hasnt got a clue how we will set up until we kick off , and will he be allowed to gurn at our players from the halfway line before the game , he's so f8cking scary

 

[hihosilva]

I'll try
Ederson
Walker Fernandinho Laporte Mendy
Debruyne Rodri Gundagan
Bernardo Jesus Sterling
