The only reason why this game is 50/50 is because of our inability to take our chances . We will get at least 4 gilt edged chances to score and if we don’t take them then we don’t deserve to win the game . We are a far better team in just about every position so it shouldn’t be a problem.
 
I would like to see Torres involved, virtually an unknown quantity to the rags defence.
Wankbissaka normally as an easy afternoon against Sterling.
Don't know if its psychological or not but Raz looks petrified to take him on
 
We don't need Pep blowing smoke up their arses like he normally does in the build up to a derby.
It seems to freeze us and spurs them on.
Lets act confident, even cocky and get into their heads that the big boys are coming over for 3 points
Exactly. He shows them far too much respect. They are fucking shit, Put the twats to the sword on Saturday.
 
I think law of averages will kick in here. They have been outrageously lucky this year - Southampton and particularly West Ham should have demolished them with the chances they had in the first halfs. This sort of luck runs out eventually. Secondly, at some stage, we are going to click in front of goal. Scousers and Burnley to name two will tell you what happens when that occurs. In addition to the Scum in the league cup last year.

I reckon Pep can figure out their counterattack strategy as he has with the Scousers. Barring a very possible ref/VAR intervention, I think we'll see regular derby service resumed
 
Last season, despite United's poor performance, Solskjaer managed to win both games, and even during the seasons that City won the league with Pep, Solskjær always win at least one match over Pep. Does Pep have a problem in preparing the team for the derby games? Does Solskjær have a blueprint of the right game plan against City?

We should break this and win this game. No time to waste more points.
Didnt see much of a blueprint when we roasted them in the League Cup. Most of their wins in recent years have been heavily ref-assisted. That of course could easily happen next week, but let's not pander to Scum fans' fantasies that Solskjaer is some master tactician who has the wood over Pep.
 
I don't think the XI picked really matter, unless it's something ridiculous of course.

It'll be the usual and in line of what others have said. Take our chances and don't drop clangers and we'll probably win and if we don't they'll counter us to fuck and we'll lose.

They do seem to be worse at home. I wonder if the added expectation gets to them.
 
There's quite a few voted us to lose. I guess it's a combo of Sergio being out,and VAR and Refs doing a job on us.
I've gone for a draw for the above reasons but really hoping we school them like we've been domg in reacent seasons.
 
Huge tactical battle imo, we cannot be on the losing side on this. Fear Pep might be happy with a draw if game is gonna be intense.

If Solskjaer knows our weaknesses and he is able to punish us through them, we deserve fuck all.

Who is the ref, I hope not fucking Oliver...
