Manchester United (A) | EFL Cup SF | Pre-Match Thread

[JGL07]

Is my memory playing tricks? I thought he went weak against united in his first season? We have taken it loads more seriously than the big 5, and united, since then

We did.

I am thinking that City had a big Champions League match coming up or was that Pellegrini for an FA Cup match?

We have a real chance to kill the tie dead if we go strong and turn up.

No McTominay or Pogba. Martial and Lingard are home with flu.

Their midfield will likely be Fred, Mata and Pereira.

Maguire is also unlikely to be risked. He has a thigh strain.

I do hope that means Lindelof and Jones at the back.

Prob because 1st season was a learning curve for the team

This is both a semi and a derby. We not only have the chance to make a final but to crush the rags spirit in one. It they were to win the league cup it would galvanise them similar to a few years ago when we went with a weak side, lost and they went on to win the cup and scraped into the champions league spots by winning the European checker trade trophy. DONT LET IT HAPPEN AGAIN. WE MUST GO STRONG

Strongest team possible for this one, with the players they have missing we could win this tie in the first leg

Martial and Lingard will probably start and run like maniacs. Hope we kill the tie but they have turned into game raising rags these days.

 

[Rammy Blue]

Ederson

Rodri
Fernandinho
Garcia

Walker
Bernardo
De Bruyne
Mendy

Mahrez
Sterling
Jesus

This is what I expect the team to be.

I love reading simon23 and Marvin’s posts, it’s like they live in an alternate reality, lol.

Marv’s team on page 2 with no Dinho and then Simon’s assertion that we will play a weakened side with kids.

Love it.

 

[Blue Hefner]

Any team ‘news’ coming out of that shit hole should be treated like the bull-shit it most likely is

There is nothing more I’d like than us to go into the 2nd leg extremely comfortably

Ederson
Rodders Garcia Fern
Walker Mendy
Gundogen KDB
Mahrez Jesus Sterling
