The battle for 3rd place

Thankfully Liverpool have helped us out big time.

Well, at least we can concentrate on the league now.

:-(

I wish Clichy was fucking alert, if he was we'd probably be in a cup final now!! Sooner he's gone the better.

Can't see us beating united. Our team doesn't have the bottle for this type of game and they have their tail between their legs.

Don't have to win, just not lose on Thursday.

The rags are in the ascendancy now and I fear the worst on Thursday. We will be knackered and carrying injured players and big nose being injured is bad for us as Martial's pace will cause our creaking defence problems. They will be allowed to kick and rough us up with impunity and their height will cause us nightmares at set pieces. One glimmer of hope is the dippers ability to shoot themselves in the foot.

I was pretty confident we batter Utd on Thursday especially as they lost big nose.

Now we are likely to be without merlin and aguero through injury yesterday's game could be more expensive than just a fa cup final!

Utd will play play the high ball into our box so hopefully kompany can play two games in 5 days!

i think both were equally bad and you can ad losing Kompany to that list as well

A couple of square pegs in round holes (navas at fullback as well as he has played aint area and he is still shit going forward which is something that Pep needs - Ironic really that his best performances have been in the full back position and he is actually more effective as a defender than an attacking option)....also KDB as I said in another thread aint cutting it either and we need someone a little more dynamic than Yaya as well now. (though again he has mostly played well but in a very simplistic way)

I thought Yaya was by some margin our best player yesterday. If anything was fair he would have been mom.

Even if we lose on Thursday we will still finish above utd

Same here. Pretty confident up until the loss of Aguero and Dave. I now fear they will foul and elbow us off the park with inpunity. We need Vinny fit otherwise they will bully us in the box.

No don't think so much more likely so sit back and use Rashford and Lingard to catch us on the break.
