Manchester United (A) - Sat 6 Nov 12:30 | Pre-Match Thread

What about Youngs challenge on Sergio, 17-18 season waived away by the referee!, unbelievable !!

That moment was the one that confirmed for me the game had completely gone.

This should be the trailer to one of those conspiracy theory programmes.

Clear blatant two footed out of control, and the ref indicates no foul going for the ball.

The agenda was strong that day and for all the world to see

Following a blatant handball in the opening minutes. A game book-ended by unabashed corruption

Its been a while since we have beaten them in the league. Pisses me off when I think about it. This shouldn’t be a contest but somehow we have lost or drawn to them the last few times we have met. Hope we smash them 10-0.

Sadly, this will not be the case. We will be lucky to get 2. They will shut down and defend narrow and plenty behind the ball as WHU did. A draw for them will be seen as a victory. There’s no way that they will attempt football suicide by trying to play like they did against dippers.
On paper, we should be destroying them, but as we all fear, it could end up another loss, and the Norwegian wankpuffin being hailed a footballing genius in a media whirlwind while Camel gob is screaming United are back.
Please win City, I couldn’t face the rags at work who have never been within a 100 miles of the swamp and their gloating will be intolerable.

I’d probably go:

———————Ederson———-
Walker-Stones-Dias-Zinchenko
———————-Rodri—————-
——Bernardo——-Gundogan
Jesus———De Bruyne———Foden

Not a big fan of De Bruyne as a false 9 - he’s much better with the game ahead of him. But not sure we can use him in a midfield 3 at the moment.
Either way, he needs runners in front of him - hence Jesus and Foden as the wide attackers. Don’t really want to see Mahrez and Grealish stood out wide all game, dribbling back inside into traffic. Atalanta weren’t very good last night, but still caused them loads of problems just with a bit of movement upfront.

I think it could be a draw, but if we get the first goal it forces them to come out and attack more,hopefully leaving gaps for us to exploit and hopefully then take any chances that we create,still think a draw but would love either to hammer them or win 3-2 with injury time winner after being 2 down ..

 

[Spurs quarter 69]

It is plain that we have lost already and is a waste of time us turning up. Since Saturday evening it is obvious that Ole is Busby reborn and Fergies favourite son. How can we possibly compete against this mighty football genius and his magnificent team of all stars. This is what the press are telling me anyway.
