United away - pre-match thread

They will no doubt spin the most expensive team as a positive now...

See we are a bigger club, look how much our team is "worth" compared to yours.

Are these stats right?
Stones has made more than 1 tackle, surely?

Think it just shows that the ushited midfield don't tackle back when they loose the ball.

I have gone for the media blackout this week,i might watch the last 5mins of the build up before the game,i bet we have quinn representing us,not that he does,if we win i shall watch everything lol

If we win, there will be a media blackout.

Any ex city players gobbing it and slagging their current manager off ? No? Thought not....as you were.

Dunno there's probably a good chance Barton is, he never shuts his mouth.

Would love to see Stones there. Deep lying playmaker. He's great at the back but feel we need proper aerial strength to combat the Rags' hoofing.

SlySports stats deliberately less detailed when it suits them, you'd almost think Bailly was anywhere near comparable to Stones in buildup play with those stats right?
What if they told you the total along with those percentages as any good comparison should and probably would have done if it supported their bias?

Lets add some stats which they omitted from whoscored.com:
Eric Bailly: Minutes Played - 270, Total Passes - 37, with a 95% Pass Accuracy.
John Stones: Minutes Played - 239, Total Passes - 157, with a 92% Pass Accuracy.
