Just win the game City. Going to be a nervous 45for me.

Richard Keys: “Jose will be the happier manager of the two as he’s only one down”

Ffs.

Front 3 have to do more. Started really well then eased off the throttle. Don't fancy Mendy at all, looks like an accident waiting to happen. Hope im wrong.

Mendy, from where I'm sat, is yards slower than he was when he signed.

Whether that's permanent or just him not wanting to stretch, whatever, he's not what he was.

If Delph is coming on, we are going inverted full backs to try to draw Matic and Herrera off the Silvas. Mendy off, Delph on? I like that if it happens.

Raza pass was world class . Just perfect.

A predator is a predator. That’s his game.

Which I appreciate. But it’s not always what is needed.

Pep has said as much, both publicly and, presumptively, directly to Sergio.

 

[KCblue]

If not three.

Perhaps @SamBlue is right and we are trying to negate their tactics.

Still, I think Mourinho’s strategy for this was to keep it as close as possible through 70 minutes and then bring on Sanchez, Lukaku, and Mata and see if they can score one or two to get a result.

Thank fuck we don't have a manager that thinks that way. And I agree that may well be his plan.

its working lads; from rawk matchday,
I hate to say this but I really hope they do a Juve on them because I am starting to despise City more and more with each passing day.

 

[ChicagoBlue]

Losing the ball in the middle of the park, which is where United are closing in the press. Need to get it wide and away from the center circle. We play our game in the channels and out wide, and they are big and strong in the middle of the park.

Still lots of play for in the second half!

If they drag us down into their comfort zone , could be risky.
