Pep, listen mate, time to shake things up against the rags. Sterling & FFS on the bench, Foden & Torres with Jesus up front. Got it Pep ?
What? ffS? The one who created the most chances against Fulham and scored a hattrick in the previous game?
 
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...
We'd be better off with Jamie fucking Oliver than the real one.
 
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

If you are looking for an old style defensive full back, Average White Band is about as good as you will find in the Prem imo. I’d prefer to see Sterling on the right or switch it about during the match to keep things fresh and keep that lot guessing.
 
I think we’ll need to score minimum of 2 to win.

I think we’ll score 3.

We’ll be fully rested while they’re running themselves in to the ground in Germany in midweek so there’s no excuses.

65-70% possession and most chances created we just need to take them

would love foden to start but think we’ll see the same 11 but Walker at RB
 
As things stand at present we have taken one point off three of the top four teams. I'd say that this upcoming match is a marker as to whether we're going to do anything in the league. Everyone knows that you've got to take points off top six clubs. A draw would be acceptable, but we really need to be winning if we're going to make that statement of intent. Our approach play is good, and if our finishing is clinical, then I think we'll do them. Otherwise, they'll probably win. Even the chances missed yesterday were not really acceptable.
 
I am still hurting from those scumbags turning us over to order. We self destructed against them time and again and I just hope Pep actually figures out this fixture actually matters to us and quit with the 'look at how feckin smart I am ooops' tactics.
I sometimes wonder if Pep is going for the City Manager with the worst derby record in recent times.

I’d like to see Raz on the right, Telles is there to be got at, he got done on the outside off Bowen several times yesterday & he was wrong footed, Raz can go inside & out from the right and link up with Kev who will have him spinning
 
Phelan pulls the strings for Utd. He basically sets them up to play like they did when fergie was in charge.
They pretty much won titles with that counter. Just change the names of the three players involved. The rest were there to defend.
Matic was the player that changed their fortunes against us last season. They were riding their luck at times but he their talisman.
I’m hoping we up the tempo again this week. If we do that it won’t matter who puts on that blue shirt.
 
After our slow start, we look like we've finally started to find our feet and look much harder to beat now.

This is a big test for us. They are 4th/5th for a reason and setup to play exactly the way that we struggle with. I want Pep to show us that he's learnt from last season and that we give them a good hiding again.

I think we will win and can see Dias getting on the scoresheet.
 
I’d go Mahrez, Jesus and Torres front 3 for this. Raz flatters to deceive against these every single game so time for him to sit one out.
Midfield 3 of Gundo (6) with Bernardo and KDB. Never gunna happen though. Rodri will start.
Walker Dias Stones Mendy on current form for me.
 
play our fullbacks high and we will have a problem...

Mendy in the starting 11 and we will have a weakness which will cause us a problem

For me this is our weakest team/squad against this lot in some time (and we should have beaten them last season but we fucked it up by playing into their hands).

They will sit and hit us on the counter attack....

We are the superior footballing team BUT they know how to play us and will cause us huge problems - the pace of Greenwood, Rasford and Martial in behind our high line and in the channels is always an issue and one we dont do anything about.
