Manchester Utd (A) Pre Match Thread

I thought Barcelona were after him.................

He is not even close to top standard.

PS. IF Barca were after him, they'd get him. He doesn't even start at United so you think he wouldn't be gone?
This is the same Barcelona who just spend 45Million on Paulinho
The same Barcelona who have Deloufeu on the wing (who couldn't get a place in Evertons team), and who give regular minutes to a pretty average prospect who couldn't get minutes in our squad in Denis Suarez?

Not having a go, just saying, Media links with Barcelona don't amount to a good player.

Spanking them would be lovely but keeping the 8 point gap would be more than acceptable if we come away without any red cards or injuries.

I just hope the ref doesn't have a shocker.

Listening to Clattenburg yesterday I can sort of of understand why he did it.

Michael Oliver will not want to wake up on Monday morning with headlines saying he has put United out of the title race.

Please god we do it. It has only dawned on me today just how much I hate these twats. I can’t enjoy the week and just want the week over with. Loved this season but to me this week is worse than international week. I just can’t enjoy it. I had some tossed of a raguncle of mine who has not been for about 5 years going on about empty seats today. I won’t be speaking to him again any time soon. Tosser.

I understand.
Best thing is just not to get woundup and just show him a picture of the league table.

By the end of the match on Sunday I want everyone in a red shirt in the swamp to be questioning their own existence.

Exactly, this is more than just 3 points. It's the psychological impact that a loss and subsequent 11 point gap would have on them.

Kompany to Sky: "I kind of press pause when it's a derby and the season doesn't matter to me anymore, it's all about the derby. Managers and players do like to downplay it, but I don't care, it's rubbish. The derby at that moment is the most important game in the world to me."

I'd love it if we won the kick off, launched it straight to De Gea and sat everyone in our own half for the first 15 minutes. Mourinho wouldn't have a fucking clue what was going on.

This would be awesome..lull them into a false sense of security then hit them hard.

My tongue was firmly in my cheek when I posted that

I agree, he’s fucking rubbish!

The rags need to pull a result out the bag against us and I just don’t see it. No matter wat mourinho does we have a far better team hopefully the quality we have will prevail.

There's no way they will press us in the purest sense. They will put a couple of hard tackles in, early on, but they will close the lines just as they did to us at the Etihad last season, and we couldn't find a way through.

They will go three at the back and five across the middle, taking their chances with pace in behind Vinny and Delph.

The whole set-up will be to get deliveries from wide and set-piece situations.

Lukaku seemingly has a decent record against us of late but it's never been so important for Sane and Sterling to push Young and Valencia back towards their own goal.

If we score first, things could get very interesting, but can't help the feeling we could get turned over.
