Manchester United (A) - Pre Match Thread

I was hoping that, with no other distractions, we’d now be able to field a settled side for the remaining fixtures. However, the way some players are in and then completely out of the side makes me think we really are patching up the wounded. Save for Ederson, Walker, Laporte, Gundogan, Bernardo, and Sterling- maybe Aguero, the other starters could be anyone on Wednesday night, and they in turn could all be replaced next weekend.

They will really want to beat us. They’ve lost too many games recently and will be well up for this. Our players have to be so focussed

No room for sloppiness or complacency.

You'd have thought they'd have been up for all of the games they've lost recently but it didn't help any.
 
We have a far better squad and manager than United and we are on a great run of wins whilst their form has dropped off a cliff.

So that means a guaranteed win, right? Unfortunately not as it's a derby and form can go right out of the window. Can see a nervy narrow win so be prepared to have your nerves shredded to a degree rarely encountered before.

Most nervous i've been heading into a derby for a long long time, hope to fuck we do it, be so much nicer if Cardiff do us a favour but the way it has gone for the scousers if it's a draw at 90 mins the keeper will stick it in his own net.

Ain’t that the truth!
 
This game form does go out the window at times,previous poster few pages back had it right,how many did we go into with hardly a prayer and come out the other end as winners,this game will be on a knife edge and won’t be helped by officials under orders to assist the rags ..
 
They will rest their big guns tomorrow ready for us on weds. Shit news we've lost Kev as he usually starts this away derby like a house on fire, we're really going to miss him. Not predicting a score, as I really don't want to jinx things. Think it will be this line up:

Ederson
Walker
Zinchenko
Otamendi
Stones
Fernandinho
Gundogan
B.Silva
Sane
Sterling
Aguero

Subs: Muric, Mendy, Laporte, D.Silva, Foden, Mahrez, Jesus.
