Manchester United (h) pre-match thread

Think that's a bit of an exaggeration. Walker is very error prone too but is still important for cutting out counter attacks. Mendy also has an important role to play but it's further up the pitch. He arguably has the best delivery in world football which for me outweighs the mistakes that I think will become less frequent the more he gets used to playing in this team.

Maybe but let's not test that theory out this Sunday.

Getting nervous already! lol you got to love that derby feeling.

I was gutted Utd won last night as it will give them confidence but that might just work in our favour. Pep will have our players switched on even more now.
It will also be more enjoyable when we beat them as for some reason everybody on redcafe seem to think they will win and Jose is god again.

I have a feeling this is going to be a crazy derby.

I just hope pep gets our defence right especially for set plays. Kompany is a must with either Danilo, Zinchenco or Delph (no Mendy for this game pls) Otamendi is a more viable option and he pops up with derby goals.

I hate everything about them. Cmon City

Mendy is worrying me. He's being to rash at the moment.

Agreed,he is all over the place,rather have fabs or zinchy even

Think he will start though, it's probably why he was completely left out on Wednesday. Same reason why Sane and Aguero didn't come on. Anyway, whatever team we put out should have too much for them.

Vinny would be sent off as he has lost a yard and makes up for it by being rash,eric and john are our best defenders so i would be very surprised if they don't play

 

[K.Reeves right foot]

Cant see why so many dont want Sane im the starting line up being an integral part of a record breaking season and now back to his best after a slow start which he also had last season. Gets my vote every time over Mahrez who albeit is getting better, hasnt done enough to keep Sane out. The Silva/Sane combination down our left is frightening for any team, then we've Bernardo/Sterling down the right. Kun - obviously - inbetween. That 5 pronged attack will destroy their immobile defence. Recent jammy results of theirs have largely been down to their opposition not taking their chances and running out easy victors. Basically, their a poor side - as a team - but can score goals from individual moments of quality if allowed. Take the game to them, attack with ferocity and take our chances. I truly believe we will destroy them.

Then you could say he got it wrong, missed chances cost us and we didn't start with a striker? We had Aguero, KDB and Jesus all coming on trying to salvage something.

Yes Pep is such a disappointment. Ffs it was a freak result, completely against the run of play, and with Martin Atkinson reffing more like Ron Atkinson

 

[Gundogan's Moustache]

Sane will be playing there’s a reason why he didn’t come on at all last night and has good as he was Raheem looked knackered after 75 minutes

It was the result, it was through our missed chances not the ref not the tactics, plain and simple game should have been dead at half time, we fucked it up no one else

 

[Rhapsody in Blue]

Bookies deem it less likely that Chelsea beat Everton at home or that Arsenal beat Wolves at home than that we beat SCUM.
