Manchester United (A) - Pre Match Thread

[Inter Me Nan]

Ota will score on Wednesday, header after a corner. Mark my words.

What is this scoring from corners you speak of?

 

[Rhapsody in Blue]

If Vinnie is fit, he should play this one without doubt. We need experience and leadership on the pitch for the run-in, especially on the derby.

At least they’d have a day less rest than us as they play today ...

Which btw brings me to their game vs Everton today ... what result is best for us in that? Them winning so they can ‘afford’ losing to us midweek before playing Chelsea in their quest for reaching the top 4? Surely them losing today would make them play harder against us if they still want to make top 4? Then there’s the old argument of winning breeds confidence etc and if they lose that’d put a dent in their confidence ... I can’t decide which way today’s game suits us best ... a couple of red cards and suspensions would do to say Rashford and Pogba.

As always, I want to see them humiliated

For me Gundoğan has started to eclipse Fern, who is starting to creak a little. We also have no hope of physically competing with Pogba in the centre, he's like peak Yaya in that sense, so let's surround him with our fast passing midgets and do him that way.
Walker will have to stay cautious because of the threat posed by Martial on the left, so I'd include Mendy in this one.
Leroy will need to be up for this.

Ederson
Mendy
Laporte
Kompany
Walker
Gundoğan
D Silva
B Silva
Sterling
Aguero
Sané

3-1 Uni*ed

Ridiculous. He was the single reason we lost to Liverpool in the CL lady season. Our defensive record at the start of the season was brilliant with laporte and stones. And then pep brought in otamendi in December and screwed up the defence. His positioning is terrible, he's slow on the ball, can't pass longer than 5 yards and makes too many fouls and mistakes

I see you haven't sobered up yet

Me too but I'd settle for 0-3!

Second half yesterday with kev off and gundo pushed, our midfield was over run by spurs, I like Ilkay but he is more poised than physical and against what will be pogba in the mood as he has been in the derbys, ferdy sitting in there mixing it up is a must and so I would choose him personnaly for the DM role.

 

[Blue Hefner]

We need to be switched on. Whilst United are shite, they will still be a threat with pace and set pieces - we should have too much for them though. I’m honestly more concerned with Burnley away
