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

[Blue Bogey]

I look at their team tonight and then look at ours and can’t see why so many on here are panicking. Would take our team lineup over their’s all day long and that is without my blue tints.

Wish my grandad was available. He'd be less of a liability than Otamendi.

Didn't Otamendi score the "winner" against them last time played there?

Have faith people!

 

[Blue Hefner]

Maybe he’s looked at the two FA Cup games this week I.e one team looks a shoe-in to win after 45mins but tire and don’t get a kick in the second half - maybe we will hold a bit back until they tire, which they should do

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

can't fathom Pep's team, it's like his bonkers Anfield selections that have us on the back foot before we've even started.

 

[cjn]

I just realized that Stones isn't even on the bench. Is he hurt? If not....well thats a bad sign for his future here.

At first view it looks a strange selection but in hindsight it could be a masterstroke, people are already posting various possible formations and if we can't work it out then I doubt OGS will have any idea, you can imagine them preparing to face Aguero or Jesus and now they have neither. Will sterling play up top on his own or will it be Mahrez? Will we play with a forward or will the front 3 interchange all game? Is it a back 3 or a back 4? Will KDB sit deep or be driving forward?

More questions than answers but i am more confident that we will keep things tight, one thing is for sure Pep has gone for experience and there is nobody on that pitch who should feel overawed.

TBH if this formation clicks from the start il be disapointed to see less than a 0-4 taken into account their side

 

[mosssideblue]

Yes, I’d much rather moan at the moaners. Especially when it’s the same ones every fucking week.

Especially when their opinion is more like hyperbole

 

[Dax777]

Pep has prior for this wank team selection. Disrespectful to the fans it is. He handed them a trophy before. I hope it's not going to happen again.

Lol

Aguero should start every game that Jones starts for United just in case Jones gets sent off or injured before Aguero gets onto the pitch

Above always applies,.....even if Sergio on crutches
