United (a) pre-match thread

[aguero93:20]

Oliver and Mason would only be worthy of a handshake if you had succumbed to a virus making all the headlines at the moment.

Fuck a handshake, I'd be French kissing the ****s.

Think maybe Foden last night didn't start due to Kev injury and they are unsure if he'll start. If that's the case I think Foden will play

 

[kippaxwarrior]

Have the rags picked their ref and VAR yet? Presume OliVAR is off the table since we got him last night?

Dean is the ref
The Alty Fan is the 4th official
Marriner on VAR

Agreed. Merlin and Rodri alongside each other is not mobile enough. I think Foden will play and Pep will play some sort of variation of the formation which worked so well at the Swamp in the semi and in Madrid. United are much stronger than last time we played them because of Bruno Fernandez. I also think we are playing mind games with them and KDB is fit to play.

Not liking the idea of no Kev but I’d rather he missed this than Madrid game.

not sure who pep goes with in midfield. For me it has to be foden over d silva (sadly)

this game is all about midfield for me & Utd have a fit team for this.

Would someone please print the City starting eleven and subs when we thrashed United in the Carabao Cup semi-final at Old Trafford. Can the same eleven start on Sunday?

[Ederson's smiley tattoo]

This is probably the team:

Ederson

Walker
Otamendi
Fernandinho
Zinchenko

Foden
Rodri
Bernardo

Sterling
Jesus
Mahrez

Kev, Gundo and Aguero to make cameos off the bench. Gundo could just as well play over Rodri but Rodri is definitely better defensively

Rather than do what we have done in the last 2 games and play with the half-dead bird like a cat, can we just put this bird out of its misery as quickly and as painfully as possible!
