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

It's time the real City showed up and stayed for the remainder of the season and Pep stopped fucking about with his harebrained ideas.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Hope Pep doesn't go too cautious and play Gundo in with Rodders?

Shaw has been their best player this season and hope Mahrez has Walker making decoy runs on the overlap.

Much as he has been poor, I think he may still go with Cancelo over Ake at left-back?

Gives Rashford and Anthony something to think about going the other way, an easier pass in to midfield, rather than Ake, who will usually always pass wide of himself and jam in the left winger, so the ball invariably gets played back to the centre-backs?

Would also like to see Haaland dropping deeper, rather than letting Varane and Martinez try to isolate him and take it in turns to play right up against him.

We need Kev, Phil and Bernie to bring their A game, and then I feel we will have too much.

Whoever scores first is likely win it.

It's impossible to call this one. We go from looking world beaters one game to relegation candidates the next. Either team is capable of thrashing the other I just hope we're not the ones on the receiving end.

Laporte not Cancelo his heads not in the right place for this game. I can sense a draw out of this encounter and not a win for us . I am a very negative person and I’ve had a bad week so far.

Yeah? but inflation has dropped 0.01%?

We've never had it so good ;)

Know what you mean. I still remember that 4-2 shit show we turned in under Pellegrini?

Nearly as bad was that other joke result when Eddie saw his shit punt returned in to an empty goal.

As I said, really do think the first goal will be crucial.

If United get it, they will be able to play on the counters a lot easier.

And if we get it, they will become more and more cautious and just try to stay in the game.

I hope we win for obvious reasons…but especially as i’ll be in the Stretford end watching it‍

Rodri - Gundo- Bernardo is exactly the midfield I want to see, i wouldnt call it cautious either.

With the ball, certainly not, but shorn of a killer pass and you can't ignore Kev for such a game.

Kev needs 'water carriers' to shine, so Rodders and Bernardo would be more suited IMO.

I've still got this nagging feeling Erling might not start!!!!

Yes two awful games. I've got a bad feeling about this game, too many players off form, looking half hearted, sulking something's not right in the camp at the moment.
