Man United (H) | Pre-Match Thread

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

Weak response.

Fact is he's played nearly every minute of every game since mid-December and it's his turn to get a rest.

No, I just don’t argue with those who can’t be educated or have the ability to change a perception... how many times have you been pulled on this?

Whinge at our team all you like, the United team is wank. There is no excuse for the 11 Pep has chosen nit beating this United team. They also have absolutely fuck all on the bench.

I do wonder if that line up is supposed to draw the rags out, we keep control of the ball, then bring on the energy of Bernie and Foden later, to run them into the ground!

When resting them means bringing in the best midfielder in the world, you do.

Best midfielder in the world he may be, but Bernardo Silva isn't the one who should be giving way

We've got to put of the very best in a derby though, suited to play against the team that the Rags put out.

Still reasonably confident, but I'm not quite sure this team is it. Martial Rashford and James all starting indicates one thing and one thing only, and it's that one thing that has given us trouble in the recent past.

Like I said, fingers crossed.

Fingers crossed indeed because you never know. But Ruben and the troops won't be giving any easy goals away today (fingers crossed) so that's reassuring.

Zinchenko vs James hhmmmm not so sure about that.

Zinchenko is decent with time on the ball but running isn't his fortay

Fair comment.

 

[Inter Me Nan]

I think Pep's idea is to bring Foden and Silva on against tired legs.

 

[dhruvblue]

Hope Sterling turns up against Wan Bissaka and does something meaningful

 

[mccity]

There's a rumour circulating that Ederson is on penalty duties..

 

[FantasyIreland]

Yeah, kinda agree. On the performance of KDB since he returned, he definitely doesn't deserve a place in a game of this magnitude, but I hope he proves me very wrong and has a stormer. Anyway, not a damn thing we can do about it. We need to accept it and hope. But yeah, KDB starting seems a pretty odd one for me and not deserved. Would have liked to see Phil too. Just hope we don't go losing our winning streak against this lot of all teams.

The main frustration stems from the fact we get to watch a less entertaining/less effective City side.Save the changes for other games,this is a fucking derby.....we dont want to show any mercy,we want to put the cunts to the sword......only our very best 11 should ever be considered.
