Man Utd (H) - LC SF 2nd Leg - Pre-Match Thread

[Greg Stargazer]

Through in one cup ... bring on the next ...

Pep was annoyed by attendance (and apparent lack of support during the game) today but when opposition goes a goal and a man down in a few minutes, it was hard for even the team to pick themselves up to go at full pace throughout the ninety ...

Loads of tickets still available for the derby ... hope we can sell out and have everyone come in but the reality is if we are to score the first goal, the tie would be well and truly away from their reach ... however if they were to score first and early, the nerves would kick in all around the ground ...

But with Aguero, KdB, Ferna, Walker etc. rested today, expect them all to come back in to the starting XI.

I think we’ll start with the strongest XI and when the tie is well won Pep would take key players off with Spurs away in mind ...

Its a shame though that Sterling could not play himself into form against Fulham today. I think that’s why Pep had thrown him on so early in second half to get him a run out and maybe bag a goal or two and get his confidence back ...

This is how we’d line up more or less:

Bravo
Walker - Ferna - Otta - Zinchenko
KdB - Rodri - Bernando
Mahrez - Aguero - Sterling

C’mon City ... Wembley again!

Yep, the attendance was poor and atmosphere bit flat in honesty although my 6 year old was happy, but job done. On Wednesday, Utd will record their worst ever result. It'll be a demolition as they have no midfield and are facing the prospect of the best midfield in the world.

Strongest line up and just smash these rags we can put them to the sword Wednesday.

Get the game won and then see it out for me. No need to waste energy

Since when has battering the rags been a waste of energy?

We’ve already gifted the cnuts 3 league points, then spared them a mauling in the first leg.

a serious spanking.....to hasten the rags demise....4-1 to the blue boys

Would like to see both Sergio and Gabby in attack but doubt Pep would start with both. Sergio, Mahrez and Sterling then.

They might be a bit gung ho after their resplendent victory today, pick them off on the counter.

As I said immediately following the first leg, after Pep's brilliant team selection at the swamp - four "false nines" - the rent boy won’t know whether to stick or twist, and I’d be happy for the great bald one to do the same at Etihad on Wednesday, as long as we go through, although as the rags are missing Rashford, and the fact that we’re at home, he might be tempted to field a little more expansive team.

Bravo

Walker
Fernandinho
Laporte
Mendy

Rodri
KdB
Gündoğan

Bernardo
Mahrez
Agüero

My only wish for Wednesday is that we go through, I don't care how, and then lock their fans in for 30 mins whilst playing every City song in the book over the tannoy constantly. Those that were there 10 yrs ago will know what I mean.
