The Debate.

Giggs, "United will win."

"The United players, the crowd and the atmosphere will be too much for the City players."

The press are scheming this one imo, they have asked the loaded question to get the headline to build up the match.

All the sweeter when we win and they all crawl back where they belong.

They are turning into what they mocked remorselessly, namely Liverpool FC.

" individual duels" - meaning if Morinho does employ the high press then that leaves gaps depending on who wins those duels . We saw what Napoli tried to do this at home and to a certain extent it was successful but very hard to sustain over 90 mins.
Maybe pep is just making Mourinho aware that such a tactic is very risky when playing us. Putting a doubt in his mind maybe .
It's either that or park the bus and counter attack when in possession . Can't see any other tactic from
Maureen .
City aren't favourites to my knowledge and that suits us down to the ground. Many pundits think we are weak and small etc.but if we win most duels we will win the game. Get in front of the opponent and we will be fine.

We are favourites. 6/5 to their 5/2 with some bookies. I doubt United have ever been as long odds as that at home for 30
Years.

To be honest he has been fairly quiet by his standards this week.

I will say, it's funny how times have changed. They are the worried ones, looking for ways to beat us.

No wonder the world and his dog are looking at “alternative” ways to watch football on tv ..... Sky subscription my arse!

They are gradually starting to sound like Liverpool fans

 

[worsleyweb]

I think it is going to be called off!!

Following up on Wenger's attempt to have us branded as divers.

 

[BerkshireBlue]

Yeah me too.

The issue is this will cause havoc with the champions league games now. I can't see where they'd reschedule it if either team does well in the cups (hopefully us rather than them)

Jose Mourinho on Pep Guardiola's Manchester City.

"If you ask me one thing that I don’t like a lot, it’s that they lose their balance very easily. A little bit of wind and they fall."
