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

[HelloCity]

Don't be daft. It's to avoid fans having five or six hours in the pub before the game. A sensible move all round.

There have been quite a few later kick off times between City and United over the last few years. Two legs of a semi final just a couple of years ago were at night even.

After much deliberation, this is my XI for tomorrow -

Ederson
Walker
Cancelo
Stones
Dias
Rodri
KDB
Bernardo (close call with Gundo, wouldn’t mind either
Foden
Sterling
Jesus

Wide men on their natural sides, Jesus on the right (can swap with Raz if things aren’t working) and Foden on the left. They’ll pack their back line with five we need to stretch them rather than continually checking back inside and create those spaces for KDB and Bernardo/Gundo. Sterling will trouble Maguire behind with his pace.

How can Bernardo starting even be a debate?

Treating all games the same is where things unravel and why other teams get up for finals and semis when we don't.

Strange comment
Have you been to any of our Wembley trips where we lift cups. CTID

People struggling with what Pep is saying about the importance of the derby are either being deliberately argumentative or are really thick.

I suspect it’s the latter.

Don’t you think these guys(& girl) know better than pep?

I think we will inevitably outplay them tomorrow, as we do with just about all teams.I can't think of a team that has actually outplayed us ,possibly Blue specs on,but it is so galling (no pun intended) we have to work so hard for our goals yet we lose because of a one off stupid mistake or someone scores a lifetime worldy against us. Tomorrow the Aged One will get his usual last minute pen.,cue the love in for the next six months,or we score 50% of the chances created and it's the glorious sick swan again.

I hope for both to happen: crissy can have the pk in extra time. It will come in front of an empty stretford end, it will be the final kick of the match and it will make the final score, Trafford 1 - 6 Manchester City.

Which were unusual things to do. The game where would could have won the title was a major error. So many out of it that day.

Got a bad feeling and I don’t know why cause they’re shite. Play like we did first half vs Liverpool and we’ll kill them. I mean if we can’t score past Maguire and Bailly then that’s worrying
