United away - pre-match thread

[Viridian]

STONES ??

We'll need height and aggression to deal with Ibrahimovic in the box - it's the main point of attack for United in the final third. They get it wide to Valencia or Shaw and whip it in. Kolarov and Otamendi are much more combative in the air, and they'll be better at dealing with it.

Stones is a very talented defender with a big future but he struggled against West Ham when they started going long in the second half. The game completely changed when Kolarov came on because he won almost every aerial challenge.

 

[Luke The Blue]

So we have signed Stones to not play him against teams with big players?

I disagree.

Good logic but stones will play he's the player to start our attacks!

Same here,with stones we have so many more options to control the game and keep the ball,if the fullbacks stop the crosses it'll be fine,it's more the diving that the rags do that concerns me the most and the ref

Question of the day ?

If Sergio does not play............and we get a penalty (I can dream)............who would you suggest takes the penalty ?.

In the past it has been either Aguero or Yaya.

Who has the right temprement to take it.?

I would suggest KDB.

Stones - he would stroke it in the corner like Curly Wurly

I agree not Spanish Dave..............a few seasons back took a very weak penalty.

 

[Blue Til Death]

Stones is nailed on to play and rightly so, he will control the build up and snuff out the rags midfield with his passing accuracy.

Stones has to play in this one, and sure he will. And Kev to take any set piece in and around the box.
