Manchester United (h) pre-match thread

They’ll be one parked on the pitch from about 4:30pm onwards tomorrow.

Cheers mate!

Fortunately Google maps is showing a wide open detour around the bus; one way traffic straight through the red goal posts.

Lets just take all the chances we create in first half, then work on chasing ‘the ten’ in the second half. Goal difference could be important

No doubt a surprise will be sprung like the last two derbies.

We all know what United are going to do and so to break them down we need to make the pitch as big as possible to enables the Silvas the space to work. Sane and sterling offer us that natural width and balance.

Playing Mahrez and Sterling on the left will result in both cutting inside and into the area of the pitch most populated.

Mahrez has been great this year but its not just a matter of losing Sane if he plays I still think Sterling is better on the right hand side also.

Just learnt that they are sweating on Pogba's fittness.

If this was 2 years ago and we had to choose 2 players from Mahrez, Sane and Sterling, it would be a fairly easy one. Now two years later we have to make this choice. Sterling is the untouchable one and so one of Sane and Mahrez is likely to miss out. O my days......

Its a truly great feat to consistently keep one of Mahrez and Sane on the bench.

Never been as confident in my life I can see a big score my only concern is the rag fan referee.

I'm hoping we blitz them and remember not to take the foot of the gas this year as I still can't believe we let them in the game we absolutely battered them.

City 4-1 Rags

I don't worry about the referee. The fans concern has reached the PL chiefs and Taylor will be under utmost pressure not to show any biased decisions.

No chance he will play they are just trying to play mind games.

We have 3 games a week from now on. Each player to get 2 starts plus an appearance from the bench every week, and all are happy with the game-time and less fatigue.
