Manchester Utd (A) Pre Match Thread

[blue corby]

What I do want to see if the rags get a corner is Sane and Sterling and Jesus keeping at least 5/6 on the half way line.

We keep saying this every game, put them on the halfway line and they will have to put half there team back to stop them.

A flake of snow and they will want the game called off so they have pogshit back

Am sure eminent raggy board member Mr David Gill can put in a phone call to pull some strings, maybe to the vice-chairman of the FA, also called Mr David Gill.

Looking at that weather forecast 4-8 inches of snow, there's a very real chance they could call the game off..

Anyone know if Dave is fit?

I'm sure Silva will be, just hope Kompany is too. Don't fancy seeing Mangala in the starting XI.

Wish we would do that

I'm sure Guardiola has his reasons for defending set pieces the way we do. Other than the last couple of games it's been pretty successful to be fair.

It also says city centre snow should melt straight away, so Trafford should be ok

. I'm sure he does, I for one would never doubt what he does. Just every now and then when all the opposing team are coming up for a corner it would really make the other team think when our front 3 or fastest players then went from our own area to the center circle. Put the cat among the rats I mean pigeons.

What's the news on Silva and Kompany?

Assuming they're fit:

Ederson
Walker
Kompany
Otamendi
Delphinho
Ferdy
KDB
D. Silva
Sane
Aguero
Sterling

3-1

I presume the logic is the more crowded the penalty area, the less chance for opponents to get a running jump for headers. Would be good to see our forwards in an advanced position sometimes though, especially with Ederson's unerring kicking accuracy.
