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 .
 
A hugely tough game. When did they last lose in the league at home?

Not too often.

Without Kev a huge ask in my opinion.
They've only lost 3 at home in the league this season, but they've been stiffed by Barca and PSG there recently.
 
wish Everton hadnt caned them, i'm fully expecting a reaction from it, It was already a difficult game.
 
Solskjaer is sentimental so he'll play McTominay, Lingard and Rashford because "they know what it means" and hope that pays off.

I hope Smalling and especially Jones start at the back, Sergio will have him pulling all sorts of faces.

I fear Philip may be a non-starter, having apparently injured himself attempting one those kamikaze reckless challenges he favours, (whilst presumably in full gurning mode), in the first half at Neverton
 
They got away with that loss yesterday considering Spurs and Arsenal both got beat, and that in itself will fire them up for this game.

Kev's loss is big for us but we have enough to cause them problems.

It's their counter-attack that should concern Pep, and also the fact that they haven't needed lots and lots of shots in games to score goals.

They have had a number of games this season in which they score 2 or 3 yet on have like 4 shots all game. It is quite remarkable.
 
The last major hurdle on our way to retaining this title. If we win against this shower and then overcome Burnley on their own patch, we're golden. Come on lads, now's the time to stand up and be counted, now's our crunch time, the business end of the season. Let's write some history.
 
How many have these cünts lost at home all season? Not many, which is the worrying factor coupled with some comical officiating, this will be a whole lot more difficult than some are making out. They’ll be fired up for this after their bumming by Everton.
All we can do is approach it with professionalism and not piss away our chances in front of goal.
We can’t afford to give the dippers any advantage so we MUST win this derby. I’m not bothered by how many, just win.
 
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.

Yup. If we defend like we did against Spurs on Saturday, we’ll have a real problem on our hands. I’d certainly want Vinny in there alongside Laporte, with Fernandinho sat right in front of them the whole game, and Leroy and Raz out wide to keep Martial and Rashford pinned back

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.
