Manchester United (A) - Pre Match Thread

[M18CTID]

This will be unbelievably tough not helped thanks to Everton battering them. They beat us at our place last year and it's the Manchester derby anything can happen.. blues attending stay safe and stay in big groups.

Sound advice but it tends to be quite easy to blend in if you're not wearing colours. I don't usually have any issues walking back into town either - only occasion I've seen anything in recent years was when they beat us 4-2 under van Gaal and I was walking back alone past Hotel Football. A mob of United were coming the other way who I don't think had even been to the game. They walked straight past me and started having it with some City on the corner. I didn't see it myself but a guy at work - United fan - who was in the execs at the stadium had a prime view and saw it all.

Now I've said all that, I'll probably get battered later knowing my luck. I'll just have to windmill as many of the fuckers as possible!

The Scouse media doing their best to fire United up. Trying to downplay United by saying we will easily smash them is their poor attempt at boosting their morale. I'm expecting dropped points today. Liverpool's luck will continue and we will not win in a dodgy or unlucky way.

Can’t see foden starting this to be honest. Think the midfield will be Fernandinho, gundogan and Bernardo central with raz and Leroy wide.

a draw will do us, it'll put us 1 point behind but I honestly think Liverpool's arses will go if they are leading going into the last two matches, in saying that we will play our games control possession and run out 3-1 winners.

Keep changing my XI in my head for tonight’s game! I’m thinking at this point, I’d start with Sane, Sterling and Aguero as our front three. The pace of that attack against a disorganised Utd back line should cause plenty of problems. If Bernardo isn’t in the front three I have to find room for him in the midfield, along with Fernandinho. So it comes down to Silva D, Gundogan or Foden in there ? If you’re going with experience in these type of huge games then Foden misses out, what Foden does bring is his energy and no less skill and eye for a pass in there, along with Bernardo in there they could have Utd chasing shadows all night. Tough one.

With Ederson in goal, I’d go Walker, Mendy (if fit or Zinchenko), Kompany and Laporte.

A draw will not do us as I really can't see Liverscum dropping a point.

Agreed. We have to win tonight, and from here on in.

Win tonight and then follow up smashing Burnley. A week's rest before Leicester then on to Brighton. It's in our hands and we have to keep it there

 

[Ric]

Yeah, no margin for error any more. Although, to be fair, there hasn't been for a while.

Please god win....................

The red masses will be quiet tonight, not knowing what score they want. Play our game, keep everything low key and win comfortably, 2-0.
