United (A) - Sat 14th Jan, 12:30 | Pre-Match Thread

I’ve had the team confirmed from a trusted source:

Ederson
Walker
Akanji
Ake
Cancelo
Rodri
De Bruyne
Bernardo
Mahrez
Haaland
Foden

If this is correct then fantastic, however as it's Pep picking the team, it's unlikely. There isn't a single player out of position :)

If we play like we know we can, sick swan.

If we play like we have been, i'm dreading it, but 2-0 to them.

Calming the pre match nerves with a city masterclass from 1979 on ìtv4. It'll do till the team news comes out.

Is Pep going to accommodate Ten Bob by putting a weak side out ? He has been known to be sympathetic to his opponents.
This being their Cup Final, I hope he's prepared his side to expect being kicked to death. If only Phillips had come up to expectations, I'd have put him with Lewis to do a bit of ratting.

That’s nearly the team I wanted but with Laporte in and Cancelo out for me.

 

[Victorinodennistua]

Ederson
Walker
Akanji
Ake
Cancelo
Rodri
De Bruyne
Bernardo
Mahrez
Haaland
Foden

On the grapevine…

They will target Cancelo if that’s the case I’m going 2-2 Ake and foden to score. If united win it’ll be by 1.

Only thing that concerns me is Twatwell-he always tries to let things go, including tackles that should be booked...resulting in the inevitable complete lack of control over the game.
