I don't remember the media ever claiming a set of players have embarrassed the club with a single performance like they are doing with this. The media are chomping at the bit for us to fail and Liverpool to win it and they see this as the big opportunity. They are doing their bit to ensure that there will be no repeat performance of the Everton game.
I think thats a very good point about getting the first goal. If we were to score first and early, they haven't got the current mental strength to respond and would really open the game up for us.It's going to be a very interesting game, as someone pointed out the Rags can't afford to sit back as any dropped points now really hits there top 4 hopes. Likewise we need to win the game, as such i can see this being a very open and attacking game. The fact that they have shipped 7 goals in the last 2 games without being able to notch a goal themselves can't be overlooked either, if we go ahead they will be tested mentally. The more I look at this game the more i am leaning towards keeping Sterling on the left and putting Mahrez on the right to allow Bernardo to drop in the middle, that said i see no reason that Foden shouldn't start either, he did well against Spurs and there is an argument that he should keep his spot.
Mahrez why?It's going to be a very interesting game, as someone pointed out the Rags can't afford to sit back as any dropped points now really hits there top 4 hopes.

I would love Leroy to start as well, but would be very surprised if the front six was not Fern, Gun, Silva D, Silva B, Serg & RaheemSane has to play. United's main threat comes with the overlapping of their full-backs, which is why I think we need to keep them more concentrated on Leroy and Sterling.
We will need extra legs in the midfield without Kev, so Bernando and Dave for me.
They have zero technique playing out from the back, so press has to be perfect.
Why does'nt Pep come out and say that Ķev will be fit to play tomorrow, so they'll change their tactics, then when the team sheet is announced he wont be on it which will fuck them up
Pretty soon every press conference will involve him rocking back and forth, rubbing his thighs saying 1999,1999,1999..Ole ole looks shit scared in press conference. I got a feeling hes gonna walk from his job. I reckon he knows the job is to big for him. He lives and talks about past nited alot
I have to disagree, I think this will be a step too far for us. A lot is against us, their players effectively playing for their futures, home advantage, ref being primed,Fergie will get involved and the media push will be at its height to ensure the Dippers benefit in anyway possible. You only had to witness Oliver’s incompetent performance on Saturday to see how we can be beaten.
Obviously I hope you are so much more enlightened than I am and I’m completely wrong, whichever way, I will be glad when tomorrow is out of the way, every time I think about it my stomach churns.
