But Pep's learnt how to deal with these teams now, as he stated in his not so subtle dig :)

Sorry, I don't mean to sound defeatist and of course I dearly hope I am wrong, but I think we'll lose this.
They are pretty solid defensively, especially at OT. They haven't lost there in 40 odd games now and have conceded very few goals. I think we'll struggle to break them down, as we have done for the last 3 or 4 games. But they are much more potent in attack than the last few sides we've faced and will not be quite so wasteful I fear. So I think we'll have all the possession, but create few clear cut chances and struggle to score. And I think they will create even fewer chances, but they will be solid ones, and they'll take them. I think we'll lose 2-1. Sorry lads, but that's how I see it.
It is possible (though I don't see it) that Maureen will decide it's a must-win game and will therefore be more attack minded (and open). If he does that, I think we'll stuff them. But I don't think he will. He'll imo think that an 8 point gap is rescuable and better to be 8 points back than risk losing and being 11 points back. He'll be his usual defensively-minded self I think.
I really hope it doesn't pan out like this, since I'll probably end up throwing things around the room and be in a shocking mood for a week.

I think We'll need to score 3 to get a result but having seen Arsenal create chance after chance I think we'll do it. 2-4.

Not in PEG’s eyes. He will be happy with 0-0. They will fight for every corner and free kick and try to nick a goal. Will also play on the counter.
The team picks itself for me. Jesus starts and if we need to we can bring on Kun for a defender.
That's how I read it mate. It's just not in Mourinho's nature to see this as a "must win" game.

I am sorry but I fucking hate Derby weeks/games . Too many years of being kicked, battered, cheated out of fair results etc. I despise them with every fibre of my being.
I hate big games anyway. Fuck losing my nerves. Gimme 7-2 Stoke game anytime :D

If we can repeat Arsenal's offensive game no way they'll survive another game like that. And we're more than capable doing it.
MOTD punters can fuck themselves and their United was superior side, Arsenal was toying with their defense for most of the game but were wasteful and De Gea had mental game. In some normal game, Rags concede 3-4 easily there.

Jesus
Aguero on the bench for me. Missing too many chances atm, and just think Jesus brings more to our overall game.
Yep, the team picks itself now, i am convinced that Pep started with Aguero yesterday as he intends to start with Jesus against the rags.

That's fine then. If they wanna play for a point and that's all they get then fuck em. That's good for us and poor for them.
