City v United pre-match thread (team news pg 66)

[blue b4 the moon]

Really not looking forward to this I've got a bit of the world's against us complex at the moment and my faith in some of our players performances, tactics, officials and Pep is wearing thin.

By 90 mins however, similar to Sunday I'll be leaving the ground hoarse hopefully with 3 points.

The swamp dwellers are unbeaten for ages, they're extremely difficult to beat partly due to the famous 18? Goal swing by officials but i don't think they're quite as shit as we'd like to think even though they always look it when i see them.

The nose missing will help them against us as we'll play our usual crazy high line and the wrong keeper however, i think they'll miss him against the more tactically aware teams.

Hopefully our walking wounded will be fit but I'd expect the same snide rubust shit fouls and no protection.

Need to come out fast and get the game nailed down before injuries, tiredness and lack of squad depth come into play.

I'd like Delphs legs 1st half swap for De Bruyne at half time. Fucking maul Herrera none stop for 45 mins.
They're all playing for semi final spots I'd be tempted to be a bit aggressive see if they're up for it.
Will PEG risk Rashford? Does he have a choice to go anything but full strength?

Can see why you'd mention Herrara. He's a proper Rag is every way. Nasty, cheating turd. He's right up there with Toilet brush and Rooney. Would love to see him get a bit back.

Having read the in-depth analysis on the post match thread, the only thing that matters is the officiating.

Wow just viewed the poll results, 121 for us to win and 119 to not win. If we had won on Sunday I'm sure that would of been completely different.

You didn't disagree tho mate. Serving up the same dross every game. Can't beat a top side. Just flat track bullies.

Even that's not true though. Flat track bullies would have beaten Everton, Southampton, Boro and Stoke at home. That would have put us above Spurs and three points behind Chelsea!

Nope BB just a growing realisation that no matter what on Thursday night we are going to be shafted by the officials.

really how on earth are united only 1 point off us they are shit and every time i seen them on the box they are crap now is it down to the level city have drop and been playing this season or am i missing something. the media love in over the road as been shocking and you can not polish a turd but they are giving it a good go over at sky and the bbc

after the start city had i had us down for a 15 to 20 points gap on united but things started to go tits up and the ref started to give a helping hand to the others but i still felt city was a good 10 points better than united so how as things come to this a united win takes them over us and into the top 4 its just not possible

We've turned dominating teams without beating them in to an art form.
