Man United (A) | Pre-Match Thread

I'll take a Mahrez left foot bender, a Stones bullet header and a dangly tap in from Sterling please. 1-3. Dinho to get his typical yellow.

No way that I’m watching the pre-match Rag wankfest.
Rugby is on for a bit !

I’ll be tuning in at 5.29:59

in back garden with bbq at moment!

 

[SWP's back]

Sterling has done it before, mahrez has never made an impact in a game that matters in 2 and half years.

Sterling has NOT done it before against United and WanB in particular.

Hope Sterling finds his way out of Wan Basaka’s pocket tonight.

Thats why i think we needed the unpredictability of Foden or Torres.

 

[Dax777]

No but he also gets endless chances regardless of how he plays. Thats irrational too.

Yes, that might be true. But the complaint of keeping his spot after a good game seems misplaced.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

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

Mahrez will rinse their back 4.

 

[Fordyboy46]

you are one moaning fucker Fordy. Been at it all day. Have a joint ffs

Just find it odd that he's not even on the bench

 

[OccupiedPalestineBlues]

What with the VAR cheating officials, covid and lack of supporters etc. this is the first game that I’ve looked forward to with full-on enthusiasm for quite a while.

I’m nervous about how it might go, of course, but it’s got the adrenaline pumping and I’m enjoying that wonderful feeling of pre-match nervous tension and delicious jangly anticipation that I used to get for almost every game.

C’mon you Blues!

 

[SWP's back]

Pep has to forgive him eventually , long out the confidence will drain, john backing off multiple games haunts me more than that

Why does he?

Stones took the place and hadn’t done anything to lose it. End of story.

 

[urban genie]

Not aesed he has Mahrez in the startin 11, he has played well last few games, I do think we didn't need 2 pivot midfielders and he should have player berny alongside kev inho.

Thwir is also a good argument for foden to start ahead of sterling on the left, but understand why he has plumped for a more experienced player.


Opted to treat this like a european game which will be cagey and probqbly decided by one chance

 

[stonerblue]

Hope Sterling finds his way out of Wan Basaka’s pocket tonight.

Said this in midweek. he's never gone past him down the line. Only hope Sterling plays inside or even on the right

 

[Blue Theatre]

Will be interesting to see Ferna & Rodri work together.
Shame about Sergio... lot resting on Jesus' shoulders this evening.

Hope we've brought our shooting boots, and it's not another one of those games where we create 20-something chances & miss them all. C'mon City !

 

[kaz7]

Just find it odd that he's not even on the bench

Every pre- match since you joined, do you have another record

 

[SilvaisSkyBlue]

Sad end to Sergio’s City career :( We keep our legends too long. I hate seeing them become unreliable.

They are playing a 442 diamond but it's really a 712. They will defend until Pogba can get the ball to Fernandes and hope he can counter with the 2 forwards.

I think Walker will be important.

 

[Cornish_Blue]

yeah that’s going well as well, Sale‘s line out is gash

Gash is an understatement. There’s more holes than a sieve.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Sterling has done it before, mahrez has never made an impact in a game that matters in 2 and half years.

Hopefully youre right,but i think he'll struggle and frustrate again.

 

[domalino]

I think he might be there to keep McTominay in check and deliver retribution where necessary.

Its probably just because of the injury gundogan picked up midweek IMO.

 

[abu13]

Looks a bit unbalanced that team, but we'll see

Early booking for Fern today though, no doubt.

As long as he gets it for snapping that goofy fuckwit in half.

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

Said this in midweek. he's never gone past him down the line. Only hope Sterling plays inside or even on the right

If Ole starts him tucked in like on Wednesday, Sterling will score a hatrick and that’s after squandering 11 chances...
