Manchester Utd (A) Pre Match Thread

their front 3 will be rolling around in and around the box more than the are on their feet

It's the officiating that worries me most. Have a feeling we're going to be in for a frustrating game. Hope we go into the game with the mentality that we are already a goal/man down.

My worry is they injury a key player in hope of destabilising the rest of our season, or maybe like Arsenal did with Silva and hope they get away with it (in the cup)

 

[SWP's back]

Maybe, and this is the only thing I can think of, is it's because Pep was concerned about the height of our squad and the risk from set pieces? Not that Gabby is the best defender I have ever seen mind.

Or maybe it's because Pep believes Jesus "is the best striker in the world when it comes to closing down the opponent" as he said a day or two back.

its never a right call when a player is selected ahead of Aguero. any player in world football.

Serg’s been dreadfull last few games, right call by pep, always scores v the scum so top last 20min sub!!

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

My only concern in this game is that snide c**t H***ere will try and stick one in on Merlin early doors and Oliver letting it go. The Rag scum get away with it week-in-week-out.

Feeling your pain mate, I'm in full IBS mode ;)

I'm all confident for weeks leading up to it but then I need Imodium on the day!

When was the other one then?

I meant 6-1

 

[CityFan83]

someone tie mangala to the subs bench ffs

Well said, remain benched throughout would be fantastic!

Does anyone else think that the Rags with their pace could rip us a new arse hole ?

errr....no

They can't rip anyone a new anything. Without a doubt they will get some talented players into space and we could make a mistake and concede. That's what did Arsenal last week but I don't think there's any scenario where we aren't dominating them for long periods
