With Pogba or not,its a feckin local derby and they hate us as much as we hate em... it's a matter of pride more now with this 14 points in-between us...Pep should want to win

To paraphrase you, derby or not, with pride in account or not, Pep wants to win anyway :)

See the Rags are warming up for Sunday with another riveting 0-0 draw against Palace , if they are the 2nd best team the other eighteen teams should hang their heads in shame.

“Man United”??

I love your write ups, but the title of this is giving me an ulcer!

“That lot” “The Shite” “Rags” “Stretford” “Trafford Rangers”, I could deal with just “United” even “Manchester United”.

But “Man United” on a City forum? Doesn’t quite sit right.

it said manchester united at first then someone changed it to shorter? same for the ref thread i saw it had full name first then got shortened. maybe to fit on mobile? admin?

 

[MK-Blues]

After watching them tonight, they look shit and they look knackered. Also, although he’s a wanker, Pogba usually plays well against us. He’s out. I’m very confident

i also tried to watch their game to see for weekend. i fell asleep. just woke up now.

 

[MK-Blues]

Massive game. Undoubtedly a title decider!

Will we win the title in early April or mid April?

at this rate in march itself.

i dont take my Mogadon anymore , just watch the Rags for half an hour and i am away with the fairies.

I agree. So we are going to have to leave out either KDB (to play Bernado in his favoured position) or Mahrez (to play Bernado wide right where he's not as good)

I've a feeling it will be KDB, and that would have been unthinkable until recently.

Kev played more on the left so could play in Gundogans role.

 

[foggy1974]

I will be amazed if they don’t get a penalty!

Thats why I wouldn't player Walker

Slowley developing the boozers face,id expect this time next year that conk will be glowing with red puffy cheeks

 

[WestGorton]

After letting them continually take points, albeit irrelevant ones , off us, it is time to sort it out surely. Don't do a typical City.

 

[marco]

united are fucked and have completley run out of steam,it took the dippers a year to burn out and these just 8 months, while were resting the likes of Foden & Co i can see nothing less than a 4-0 victory

 

[Didsbury Dave]

Yea but then you have to leave out Gundo or Bernado, the same point still stands.

 

[Bluekiwi]

Cannot wait for the Anthony Taylor & Mike Dean show for this game.

If there's one thing they're good at it's keeping the game tight, against Liverpool and Chelsea they sat in the whole second half and waited for the chance to counter, had two great chances to win late against Liverpool and one against Chelsea. They'll know they can't catch us now so it'll be the same thing, absolutely no reason for us to leave Rodri/the defenders isolated, worst result we should be looking at is 0-0.

Despite the hilarity around him our forwards have struggled to do much vs Maguire since he's been there, he also had Aguero in his pocket last game he played against us for Leicester when Kompany scored. Think it could be a job for false 9 again, Aguero and Jesus liable to give up the ball cheaply and set them on the counter attack.

...........Ederson
Cancelo...Stones.Dias...Zinchenko
..............Rodri...........
.....Bernardo.....Gundogan....
Mahrez......Sterling......Foden

Sterling redeems himself for misses against them down the years. 2-0

 

[ChicagoBlue]

God knows how he goes about this game with players for me it should go on form so with tin hat on here goes

Ederson

Walker
Stones
Laporte
Cancelo

Rodri
Gudongan
Bernardo

Mahrez
Jesus
Foden

So, on “form” you would bench Dias for Laporte? HAHAHA!

Who is this “Gudongan” character? Did we swap him for Tatonka during the January window? ;-)

Just for my edification, you are going to drop KDB to play Sterling at centre forward?

Bwahahahaha! Good one!!

 

[M12Blue]

Obviously want a win, but not a controlled get 1 up and then kill the game second half kind of win to conserve energy. I want a 90 min of incessant unrelenting football at 110% to absolutely destroy them. It’s pretty much a free hit, so I want the boys to go out there and have fun.
