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

[Tangled up in blue.]

Every season you lot get all shit scared before this game. When will you learn? We will play our best team, they'll raise their game and we will smash them like we always do at Old Trafford. Haaland has been very unlucky these last few weeks with balls hitting his heels or just behind him etc. It will click and he'll terrify them. You watch...

That's the spirit Dave

Our midfield need to be up for this, otherwise Casemiro is going to run the midfield for the rags. He's one of the major reasons their up there in the table. Can't afford to be slow

Casemiro has done very well for them of late, aggressive without the ball and very good at starting attacks. They’ll want to get our defenders one v one against Rashford who has hit form.

A difficult game, but wet knickers are no good in Derbies. Cmon City smash the rag cunts

Some serious negative bullshit in this thread. We are 2nd in the league ffs. Come Sunday evening we could be just 2 points behind Arsenal. Then everyone will be back to normal service. We then have the opportunity to play them and take over. Top of the league. Boom

How would they all cope back in the day , shares in bic razors may well have been a good investment

I am hoping he can as his goals have been crucial in a lot of games.
In recent years we have won nearly every match against the rags that mattered. This game is most certainly in that category. A good performance and a positive result may well determine the rest of the season.
A sloppy tired performance and a negative result will leave a lot of us shit scared.
Not many draws against this lot in the Pep era maybe we get one Saturday.

Wtf is he/she/it on about?

I think we will go Walker and Ake as the conventional full-backs, and that Cancelo has burnt whatever bridges Pep was looking for him to repair in recent weeks.

My worry will be Rashford and Anthony down our left side, trickery and pace.

I would play Walker Stones Akanji Ake


Laporte imo just treads water & they have to much pace for him

Eddy
Walker Ake
Stones Akanji
Rodri
Kev Berny
Mahrez Grealish
Haaland

Grealish will get the nod imo, Wan Basaka will start I think Dalot went off?

De Gea
Wan Bassaka Shaw
Varrane Martinez
Cassimero
Erickson Fernandez
Anthony Rashford
Martial

Im going for a draw 2-2
