United away - pre-match thread

[SWP's back]

It wouldn't surprise me if all of them start, because it's Pep, but I may have to show my arse in Burton's window if Sane starts 'in front of' Nacho. Unless Pep has phoned Manuel.

This he means in place of rather than 9 with Nacho 10.

 

[SWP's back]

When are the pressers?

 

[BlueByBlood]

And what excuse has he given if that doesn't happen?

That his source could not differentiate between Sane and Nacho :)

 

[Neville Kneville]

This he means in place of rather than 9 with Nacho 10.

We don't currently play with a No 10, we have two 8s, two widemen & a striker.

If Nacho was to go to 10, then that would suggest either a 442 or a 4231 & either dropping Silva or DeBruyne, or sticking them out wide. Can't imagine a 4141 with Nacho in the centre mid, nor a 433 with Nacho in the centre mid, 442 is not usually a Pep formation (unless he's phoned Manuel) if it's 4231 with Nacho centre of the 3 & Sane upfront, who are the others ?

Sounds like disinformation to me.

When are the pressers?

1.30pm for both Pep and PEG

 

[Blue Smarties]

That isn't the game, it's a small section of nice but largely ineffective possession.

Don't be a tit.

 

[Blue warrior]

Just watched a re run of the 3 nil win at the swamp c'mon city

 

[BlueHammer85]

Good luck tommorow Blues

 

[Neville Kneville]

I was discussing football & making a perfectly reasonable point, I don't know what you problem is.

Yes. He means in place of Nacho (Aguero) as opposed to 'behind' him on the pitch as I said.

You've misread him. Then misread me.

 

[wythenshaweblue£££]

The question is who is going upfront? Is bravo going to start?

 

[TrueBlueMike]

Educated guess no more I think.

Although that said, Sane has been training for 2/3 weeks now whereas Nacho has been away with national side. Could be something in it...

Cheers. I like the way both our media teams are arranging them always at the same time to not allow hacks to put quotes from one to the other whilst looking to drum up stories.

Plus it's a headline from two hours ago in the MEN.

I've not misread it, I don't understand it.

You mean he's saying Nacho doesn't play & Sane does ?

Yes.

Pep likes a curve ball, expect Bravo playing upfront

That's how I read it. I can't see Nacho starting myself though I'd be surprised if Sane goes straight in. Same as Gundogan but for different reasons. I do see Bravo starting.
Like you have said in the thread though, second guessing Pep is a fools game. I'm going to just sit back and wait to be pleasantly surprised by whatever he comes up with.

Yeah.... I don't read that..

 

[No1maters]

Haha always makes me laugh brilliant vid sets me up nicely as I go to work to commence winding the fuckers up

Where's this pulled from?
