United away - pre-match thread

[blue b4 the moon]

Completely disagree Mr Hairdoo...I think we will tear them a new one

Usually a very good sign when Tolm is a negative Nelly.

Physical play only works if you can get near your opponent. We are faster and move the ball better. They will be gassed by the 59th minute. 3-0 City. Sterling gets the first in the 37th minute, Rooney OG in the 73rd minute, and Navas puts one home off a horrible play from de Gea in stoppage time.

I suspect this game may come a little too early for us, and we could lose by a couple.

Make no mistake, this is bigger than the recent FA Cup Final for them, an opportunity to lay down a marker in front of a giddy crowd and a thirst to try and fool the wider watching public that not only are they relevant again, but that they also got the better manager.

Mourinho is a front-runner, always has been. He knows it could continue the mental facade in his squad they can go on to win the title this season.

The tactics will be there for all to see, sit in, defend the line of the 18-yard area, cut out our crossing (just like Chelsea used to) and go long and quick into Ibrahimovic, trying to do us in the air and at set-pieces.

We defended brilliantly there last season and will need to do so again.

We could well lose the battle, but fancy us to win the war, once we hit our straps.

Fine margins and all that, and the one thing we can be certain of, Pep will have our tactics and approach spot on. Everything else is down to fine margins.

Got to agree with this. We also saw how we tired second half against West Ham.

I think they'll park the bus until last 20 mins, then bring on Rashford and the new guy from Dortmund to exploit the space that's opened up.

Just hope we're 4-0 up by then... ;-)

This fixture has come far too early for both sides IMO. It's hard to analyse either and I'm sure Guardiola and Mourinho don't have their teams anywhere near where they want. Even worse is the international break and so many players arriving back late. Just want the win.

Honestly, I think we'll lose by the odd goal or two. And I'm also convinced that it won't matter, come April and May. Our team will improve, possibly hugely, as the season wears on.

OK - this is probably not the thread but can anyone - in a very few words - give me the 'gist' of any 'bad blood' between Maureen and Pep.
I think that Maureen is an arrogant b**tard - 'The Special One ' my aris.

Shit went down...

A City win here would be rich as hell!

United are on cloud nine at the moment, all the perfect galatico signings they made. They're favourites for this game too I think. City winning would peg them back!

United 1-3 City. Mwahahahahaha

 

[BertTrautmann'sParachute]

We won't lose to these negative cunts. 0-1.

we have far to much for them it's been there for all to see in the five games played up to now and as each game comes and goes we gel better, we won't loose that's a dead cert it's a case of how many were going to stick in, i'd be very worried if i was a red they were dull in their opening fixture and just as bad at hull, relax and enjoy the game no worries with this one 0-4
