Manchester Utd (A) Pre Match Thread

It seems Uniteds best chance to win is to defend then counter attack.
Presumably it is more important to them to win than it is to us so why should we attack ?

I feel that we should defend only and wait for them to try to penetrate our 11 man half of the field. Why play to their supposed strong points ?

Tactically they would be forced to spread their players against a defence that waits for them.

It will be like the world cup game from 82 when both Germany and think Austria need a draw to qualify and neither team passed the half way team.

Never been so confident going into an away derby. Dinho, Merlin and Kev against fucking Matic, Herrera and Lingard... it's almost laughable.

Jesus against Smalling.
Leroy down the sides against Lindelaugh.
Raz down the other side against wild man Rojo (penalty waiting to happen).

I'll be amazed if we don't score four.

Brilliant!

Yep. Gary Neville keeps saying United have a chance if they play deep and hit City on the counterattack. Hilarious stuff.

Just read this little snippet from the head rat brothers ......

"You think about Pogba, he would beat (Kevin) De Bruyne and (David) Silva with the ball at his feet and break that line”

Going on about losing pogbad....fucking hell he is absolute dross and a liability in midfield without the ball. Getting their excuses in early about losing the worldie that is the dabber with a haircut

Behave

Wouldn't he be Fernandinho or Gundogan's man, rather than Silva/de Bruyne's?

This is the only reason why I'm worried. You just know they're going to get every decision and get away with murder.

normal 90 minutes for the rags then

Thanks. No doubt it's gonna be Anthony rag Taylor.

I would rather have Altringham Anthony rather tham Pawson or the idiot on Wednedsay, Although he is a shit referee and a rag fan, At least we know where we stand with him and feel that there would be so much pressure on him if he gave them a controversial decision. Feel it is more likely to be bottler Oliver, as we know he wont be refereeing with out assistance.

I'd agree with that Atkinson had us v Chelsea this season so I'd doubt he'd get our 2 main away games pre Xmas.

Don't think even the fa could chuck Alty Taylor into the game so bottler seems the logical choice with baconface as unofficial 4th official.

I worry we'll have someone sent off.

I'm not worried because it's a certainty, I just hope we have a plan to handle it.

He spent the games last year in Fernandinho and Maffeo's pockets.

Odds for the derby

Rags 12/5 draw 13/5 City 11/10

Has anyone checked on that Scottish bastard?
