Manchester United (h) pre-match thread

[Blue Hefner]

He is better in the air than our other centre half’s?

Maybe, at a push. But that one possible positive does not outweigh the benefits of playing Laporte and Stones - those two have been excellent in the air this season when called upon

Ederson
Walker Stones Laporte Delph
Fernandinho
B Silva D Silva
Mahrez Aguero Sterling

With the form martial/mata have been in for them I wouldn't risk mendys inability to get back from attacking positions quick enough


Hererra bound to start to give the.silvas a few kicks, need to cement a good lead and no dropping gears as we tend to do when a few goals up, as these spawny ****s will score at some point

5-2

This line up and fully agree on the Mendy issue! but possibly with Sane to start over Mahrez - their defence is normally quite floppy in the first half hour and a fully charged Sane running at Smalling could be a joy to watch!

Marhrez Aguero Sterling

I was going to say Sane over Mahrez but I don't think we can drop Marhrez after that. Also I think his defensive work is better than Sane's

 

[Cotton Weave Blue]

I think we may play 3 at the back with VK JS AL with the 2 wing backs and Aguero/Sterling up top.

We are due one. They are on a good run though so we need to be more clinical than we were last season.

Yes, haven't won the home tie the last 3 seasons. We are firing up front and conceding next to nothing. Time to put another statement win and remind them of the gap.

Sane is fresh and he has to start. Mahrez to come on for Sterling after we are 3-0 ahead in 55 minutes.

3-1, Don't trust Mendy yet. Let Sane and Dave run riot down the left.

There’s a lad playing for them who worries me, goes by the name of Anthony

One of PL's best fullback will take care of him.

 

[Blue Hefner]

Sane is fresh and he has to start. Mahrez to come on for Sterling after we are 3-0 ahead in 55 minutes.

I can see the benefits of that, it also allows Sterling to play on the right. I was typing Sane then changed my mind

Bournemouth ripped them apart with pace for half an hour last week. If we get get stuck into them, it could be over by half time......

 

[Draikin]

Hope pep doesn’t disrupt the Silva’s and put gundogan in there. He seems to like him in the big games.

My only fear about this game.
