Bravo

Toure Silva De Bruyne
Sterling Sane Aguero

Might as well go for it as defending is not exactly our strength.

Has anyone mentioned the rags being better without "big nose"?

They are to be fair, I'm more worried about the pace of Rashford than big nose goal hanging for 90 minutes.

They killed us with pace last year and is something we need to plan against.

Bus parking refereeing decisions and is why chelsea going to win the league as well

that chelsea game at home will go down in history for all the wrong reasons and not for football
its going to be a right carve up on thursday night and i can see them getting everything and city players getting mad and kicking out and yellow/red cards flowing but like i said earlier the fight for top 4 is not over if we lose to the scum but we don't want them above us and thats a joke if united finish higher than us

I've been quite disappointed in Fernandinho since he came back from suspension, thought he was pretty poor again in the semi final. I also feel the praise of Navas has been a bit over the top, any problems are usually down that side with attackers getting in behind him. I'd personally prefer to put Fernandinho at right back for this game, have one pivot in Yaya and Sterling has to start imo.

Can't be doing with the flappers, everyone's arse has gone after Sunday's loss, I guarantee if we'd have won on Sunday, the confidence on here would be through the roof.

I'm confident we'll win this game, probably not comfortably, but we'll do what's needed to be done. Pep will have the lads fired up, he'll want a reaction after Sunday's defeat. Thinking back to the home games against the top sides, I don't think we've underperformed, we've had some diabolical reffing decisions against us (Chelsea & Tottenham comes to mind), but overall we played well even tho the results haven't gone our way.

We're a better footballing side than these lot and we should be ripping there back line apart, look at what they fielded against burnley; young, bailly, blind, darmian, that back line won't be able to cope with our forward line.

Not heard much regarding aguero, silva or fernas possible injuries. Hoping silva's was just a knock, and aguero and ferna came off due to tiredness.

I'd go with;

Willy

Navas
Kompany
Otamendi
Clichy

Ferna
Yaya
KDB

Sané
Aguero
Sterling

Dinho has said he will be fit,dave has all clear from a scan but is 50/50 at the moment,no news on sergio

I'm really looking forward to this one and wishing it could dispel my FA cup hangover. Big nose being out is a bonus i'd rather content with rug head we can contain him IMHO.

 

[york away to this!]

silva is undergoing surgery to remove that clogger's knee cap from his arse.

i fully believe in the team but the officials are doing us over and the players are letting it get to them and we lose concentration
the bigger the game the more mistakes are made by the ref's and they say it swings and roundabouts and will even itself up over the season
well could play until 2019 and still would not get the mistakes back to even
