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

credibility check.

Don't see how it can be with Mahrez in the side

Have you actually seen him play recently. Brilliant player on form and has been closing down well which is new. Think you need to let go

Hopefully, Pep gave every player a good bollocking so that they are all awake from minute 1

The whole world is watching, the players don't need a bollocking to be up for this game. Where we tend to struggle with motivation is vs lesser lights.

We'll pass these fuckers to death and bore them into a 0-0.


I'm not asking for much but, FFS City c'mon, do these bastards....PLEASE!

This is the fastest back 4 that we could offer so hopefully it will nullify the rags's speed on the counter.

Worried when Cancelo starts in these big matches. At least Antony isn't playing up against him. Shame Stonesy is missing - we are a better defensive unit when he is in the side.

I'm still confident we can get the job done. Come on City - massive performance and win needed!!!

I reckon Cancelo has more likely had an arm round his shoulder than a rocket up his arse and reminded what a good player he is. Seems like the sort who would respond better that way

I’d give him a reach around if he scores the winner today

 

[chris85mcfc]

We are a much bigger side than them, hopefully we can get some joy from set pieces as well

Looks like an all out attack with that team .That’s a big risk from them.

Ten Rag looks like a Darren Brown impersonator.
