Man United (A) | Pre-Match Thread

[Manc Born & Bred]

The game hasn’t even started and people are moaning. I am out of here

 

[Rammy Blue]

God help the match day thread if this level of negative is in the pre match...

 

[OntarioBlue]

I think we’ll struggle to score With that lineup. Should be good defensively.

Perhaps this is a new Pep tactic, play with ten men behind the ball and hit them on the counter.

 

[jrb]

Thoughts.

Is Serg being rested for West Brom?

No even on the bench.

 

[Beanhead]

That is exactly the team I would have picked for this. Happy with that.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Amazing! Thats bit stretching it don't you think. Just because he did his job and was threatening doesnt mean he was amazing.

He scored a hat trick against Burnley and you say he had a 'good game'.

I'd like to know what you think qualifies as amazing.

No Sergio, wtf is going on. Surely a twenty minute cameo midweek hasn't set him back again. Not even on the bench

After posting I loved the line up I realised he’s not on the bench. That has soured the starting 11 for me!

Mahrez. Laughable. Sorry Pep u got it totally wrong.

Not injured, tactical.

Funny how all last season we were moaning about not having a left sided centre back after Laporte was injured, now we have two excellent players in that position and neither starts in the derby.

Hope Stones continues his fine form.

 

[ctwrd]

On form mahrez deserves his place but it’s time for him to step up and make an impact in a game like this or else it’s all just flat track bully which is not good enough

 

[Beanhead]

edit. But not happy Kun isn’t on the bench.

 

[journolud]

Cos I’m not silly

You couldn’t join us on the Brexit thread and tell us if we’re going to get a deal could you?

 

[The1nvisibleMan]

Mahrez. Laughable. Sorry Pep u got it totally wrong.

What’s Mahrez done wrong recently?

 

[ancoats]

its a puzzle aguero not even on the bench ? fernandinho scares me in big games and could be a walking red card and united will try it on and the VAR team will be all over city today. looking at the line up we can play both ways and even 3 at the back but it will be cover for the 2 centre backs. lets hope KDB is given the freedom and right up top to feed jesus and sterling

No sweat - it's not like he's ever done much in this fixture anyway.

 

[stonerblue]

happy with that side

 

[Don Karleone]

At least see if Mahrez has a shit game before slagging him off.

Dias has played very well on the left-surprisingly so.
