Manchester Utd (A) Pre Match Thread

[SWP's back]

No it isn’t. The thought of Mangala on a snowy pitch, up against loo-cack-ooo & pinochio, scares me shit-less

Can't understand any blue wanting a derby called off 80 mins before kick off.

I've been building up to this for a week minimum.

Chelsea was a master class.. yes we need to absolutely replicate that.

The only reason I’m nervous about this derby is cos of the stuff I’ve read in the press and forums etc. There’s no actual reason we shouldn’t all be very very confident about this.

Spot on. Pep is a tactician as well as football purist. He is not an idiot and has comeoff better than mourinho in their head to head despite Mourinho apparently being the tactical genius. Today will be about control and only taking risks in certain parts of the pitch. Mourinho has an obvious desire for quick ball forward and to use their height so pep will make sure we have players back to win that second ball and we donot give stupid free kicks away.

Winning this game gives us breathing room for the CL big games this season from February onwards. We need to win. A win would put us 4 games ahead of them and 5 ahead of the rest.

A great leveller is the snow..it will hamper our passing game..just been out in it and it plays with your vision.

It will not be conducive to many goals. I don't see more than 2 or at a push 3 goals today. A draw or city win by one goal is I think most likely result
