That’s depressing if true.

Think he's on 3, and you need to get five to receive a suspension.

I always hate the build-up to a derby, especially at Old Trafford. Would rather it be played at 12.30 just to get it out of the way.

Maybe a Friday night might suit you so.

By the law of averages I hope the rags have used all their luck up and we put all our chances away instead of missing 95% of them. If so we could hopefully have another massacre. My biggest fear is that bent **** Tierney and his team.

Looks like Casemiro is out. Not sure if that's necessarily a good thing though, as he's on the decline.

As Pep did 2 years ago when they never got a kick, put the ball in the fridge. Think he might go with Grealish over Doku to start for more control and better ball retention.

Grealish on the left and Foden and on the right was how we went last season when we put 6 past them, so I'd be ok with that.

Alvarez just behind Haaland, Rodri in his usual role and Bernado in a midfield role.

That would do for me, then Doku off the bench if we need something different.

No nerves at all, back in the day i would be like a cat on a hot tin roof

Any win please and every player to keep his cool v the ref and olivar , the players will be booked for fuck all , lets face it

 

[Blu1]

There you are pre match derby nerves! Lol

Been rather calm all morning.
Just kicked in now ffs

 

[Crooked_rain]

Please pep show them no respect!

No need to go defensive let’s just destroy them from the 1st minute.

3 up by 35 mins then just keep the ball for the remainder of the game :-)

Get Haaland shithousing them for the last 10 minutes by winning corners over and over by taking it to the flag. He loves it.

Why is it kicking off at 15:30 instead of 16:30?

I suspect it may be to accommodate broadcasters around the world as not all countries have put the clocks back like in the UK. Here in the States, we don’t put our clocks back until November 5th so by making it 3:30pm instead of 4:30pm it keeps our viewing time the same. Come on you Blues!!!

Ederson
Walker
Stones
Dias
Gvardiol
Rodri
Bernardo Silva
Foden
Grealish
Alvarez

Would be my team with Doku coming in last 30 minutes to hopefully cause mayhem at a tiring Dalot
