Manchester United (A) - Pre Match Thread

[Mancity1980]

Rag cafe predictions for the derby game .24% reckon they'll get gubbed 5-0.how that banner has come back to kick them in the nuts .

I prefer to think of that banner being shoved up their ar@e rather than kicked in their nuts, but that is just me!

The rags will be like a trapped and wounded animal.
I'm really concerned about players like Bernardo and Sane who feel comfortable with the ball at their feet as they will be targetted by cloggers like Young, Matic or Rojo.

 

[citymad]

wish Everton hadnt caned them, i'm fully expecting a reaction from it, It was already a difficult game.

We all know what footballs like.One game you can get hammered and then the next game you can redeem yourselves. Any team playing Everton yesterday would've had a tough result. Make no mistake, The rags will be up for it and make it hard for us even to get a point let alone a win. Title is won or lost on Weds.

Our defending on Saturday was shocking. They had only one real outlet and plan and that was find Son as early as possible and it worked. Once they found Moura instead with the same tactics. If it wasn't for Eddie it could all be over now. The rags will use the same tactics on Wednesday.

It'll be an entirely different kind of game - we need revenge for last season yet too when they spoilt our party. Sterling isn't missing as much either.

United getting smashed by Everton today and getting slated by everyone on tv and in the papers wasn’t good for us

You’ve had a bit of a whiff for a while now.
Has anyone accused you of not being a blue yet?

 

[lasereyes]

And Liverpool couldn't do it despite Utd losing half a team during the game.

They were extremely lucky not to lose to a West Ham team who have not exactly been ripping things up in the past couple of months

 

[lasereyes]

I don't see the logic that United losing to Everton is bad for us. It would have been a lot more difficult playing them during their winning streak (and should have been for the Scousers except for their obscene luck as half the United team cried off during the game). I am sure they will put in a shift, but they look completely disorganized and demoralized at the moment. We certainly have to defend properly or they can hurt us, but we will control possession and get more chances than they do. It will hinge on how clinical we are. Step up Sergio and Raheem.

I wonder who the ref for Wednesday night is?

Nah! It couldn't be...surely not...?

 

[mat]

This,if we aren’t on it defensively they have a chance,just worried about stones don’t think he’s in the right mindset for this game wasn’t great at times against spurs ..

He wont play.

I reckon itll be vinny and oti as they can give the shit kicking back if needed.

Marriner is ref, he'll ignore blatant assaults from the rags and Vinny and Ota will get 2 fouls each max before they get sent off.

As sure as night follows day.

 

[chesterbells]

I can never get my head round who hates who more.

Rags v dips I'd be all over a dips win.

I wouldn’t. There’s only one of those teams that’s a threat to us at the moment. Oh, and their supporters and club in general are the most unbearable in existence. They’re special you know.

 

[mat]

You know what fucks me off is throughout the history of our club we've always thrown these ****s a lifeline both on and off the pitch. If the tables were turned they'd grind us into the ground.

There's only two matches under Pep I've had an issue with. The league Cup game at theirs in his first season,and the league game last season which if we'd won the title beating them I would be convinced they would be in 15th place this season as the psychological blow to that evil entity would have been a knockout.

I want us to go there, dominate and destroy the rag bastards. Put them in their coffin and seal it. A win so dominant that'll send shockwaves through Europe and sets those Merseyside ****s back 70 years.

 

[BosnianBlue]

It's a derby, I'm dreading it when there's nothing on the line, let alone this. Arsenal fucked it up yesterday, I'd be much calmer if they would be almost out of the race for top 4.

I'd take 0.5:0 win.

 

[cleavers]

I'll settle for 1-0 too ;-)

wish Everton hadnt caned them, i'm fully expecting a reaction from it, It was already a difficult game.

Feel in a strange way that it could be a blessing. If they had beat Everton, with both Spurs and Arsenal losing they could of parked the bus against us and hoped for a 0-0. Now they have to beat us and Chelsea to have a chance of top 4.

 

[mat]

I'll settle for 1-0 too ;-)

Never, ever, trust a rag bastard.

They are the great revisionists of history alongside Liverpool fans.

They might not want Liverpool to win the league but would still try to save face by rubbing our noses in it if we dropped points.

Pep will have us primed. It will be a strange atmosphere which could go one of two ways, toxic or hypocritical.

I'm sure they will go with the team that started at home to Barca. Phelan has been a match pundit at plenty of our games in recent years and always stresses about not allowing us to play through the lines.

The press will be high but they may give up the midfield and sit in, trying to ping diagonal balls into the corners for Rashford and Sanchez to chase.

Our success must come from pinning in Young and Dalot and getting in behind them.

For that reason, Sane and Sterling to start for me.

Would be very suprised if its not Bernardo and Raz out wide with Sergio up top.

 

[kaz7]

I am completely calm,i have the utmost faith that the boys will get the job done given what is at stake
