Manchester United (A) - Pre Match Thread

[blueste41]

We are ridiculously short odds to win (1.40), to put it into context Spurs were 1.33 to beat Brighton at home last night! I have layed £1000 against us winning tonight to soften the blow if the unthinkable happens.

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.

Sorry mate, but a resounding NO on the first bit, now the second bit....

Didn't feel like derby day when I woke up. Just another must win game.

But as the morning wears on derby day nerves are setting in.

Have to win this one, as well as local pride it's the title up for grabs here.

Win our game in hand and can see Liverpool stuttering, likely not this weekend against Huddersfield but the closer we get to the end, if we are still leading then the realisation will hit home that Liverpool can't dive, brick or offside their way to the title after all. To get there we must, must, must win tonight.

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.

Mendy should definitely start if fit.
Spuds were gash on Saturday but still could have scored 3 by simple 30/40 yard diagonal punts for Son to chase and he won every one.
Mendy should sit in at set pieces as cover for Kompany and/or Laporte.

The fucking plastic scouser next door but one was desperate for a conversation this morning. Gobbing off in the playground when I was dropping my daughter off at school to anyone who’d listen. As I followed him back down our street, he’s fist pumping at a plastic rag who was driving to work. Embarrassing behaviour from a clown who has never been to Anfield.

Will it shit !!!
There is no way the Scousers are going to drop any further points and I for one will be gutted if we only come away with only 1 point tonight.

A draw won't do.
We drop points tonight and Liverpool will win the league.
Utd 1 City 2

Got a horrible feeling Blind Pew is gonna be backing United at great odds and will be out to fuck us over.

How can you forget QPR so quickly?

It will not be over tonight. It is very important but will mean nothing if we draw at Burnley or Liverpool draw at Newcastle.
