It's time.

Time to shine.

Time to remember who we are.

Time to remind a few others who they are.

Just had a tenner at 10-1 on them beating us and Rashford scoring, seems easy money to me !

FFS couldn't lower myself.

 

[waspish]

Pep be going for control quiet the giddy rags problem with that is we won’t get a lot of chances and rags probably get a few on the break too! I don’t know how I would play it go all out attack probably what I would want but Pep loves this control method!

Ederson
Walker
Laporte
Akanji
Ake
Rodri
DeBruyne
Bernardo
Foden
Mahrez
Haaland

Foden with a point to prove and easily done for him.
Mahrez is in form and can keep the ball.
Bernardo to run them "Ragged"
Back 4 with pace and no nonsense at full back for today.

Keep the ball and carve them open.

I'd be happy with that, pity about Stones though

I’d be surprised if Laporte didn’t start.

 

[BlueRhubarb]

I'm pretty sure he will do.

I just find it strange that we scored 6 against the rags with that front 3 and they have never started together since. I think Foden's best position is currently on the right but he rarely plays there.

I think he’s best on the left so it’s a toss up for me between him and Jack today

 

[bluke]

Mahrez or whoever starts on the right can roast the left back as he’s utter shite …

Malacia is one clumsy clogger - hope he doesn't hurt anyone before getting hauled off or sent off

 

[AColdNightInStoke]

The media are poising this as the ‘closest derby in years’ - they’re absolutely desperate for United to do something today.

Let’s put them back in their box and remind everyone who we are.
