Derby nerves kicking in. Not confident tbf

Utd don't need to turn up they have won the game already according to their deluded fans roll on Saturday!

 

[malg]

you're possibly going to miss out on seeing something special though, brother.

face up to your demons and watch the damned thing, i'd say.

Nope. I'll be on here in the morning and if a ticket is going then I can make it to the swamp in short order. Other than that, I'll be going for a 5km swim!

The thing you have to remember is, there is far more pressure on them than us:

- They're at home.
- We are without our star striker/player.
- Mourinho's record against Guardiola isn't good.
- If they get beat, they'll be questions whether they are in the title race or another top 4 battle.
- Guardiola is still adjusting to the league and is only going to get better.
- We are at home in arguably the more important derby towards the end of the season.

Alright I realise a couple of those points could be turned around against us but the pressure is on them for this one.

Silva is a ball player - he is not ideal for that role. He is best with the ball - not without. Müller's role - particulary in matches like the one you named - is to move around the defenders and create the space - and be there in special moments. Silva is wasted in that role. Has somebody of you seen the match from Germany against Norway this Sunday? Germany played with Götze on the 9 - he was wasted there (seems to be off form, too) but with him occupying the defenders it gave the other three offensives chances. The reason why Löw does not like playing Müller on the 9 is that he is best when he is played behind a striker (even a makeshift one) - and as his actions seem to be atleast always the winning guarantee whenever the competition is not called EUROs he is right with it. It paid out Sunday, too - Müller had 2 goals and an assist in the 3:0.
Why I tell you that - Silva is in a great form. He is best behind an attacker. He should not be
wasted elsewhere.

You make some nice points there. Who do you think should fill in for Aguero on saturday?

 

[aguero93:20]

We're going to win this and win it by playing the cunts off the park.

 

[sarste]

All down to tactics and set up. Oh we got Guardiola. Game over

De Bruyne.

We'll win and win well. Won't stop the nerves and emotion but that's why we love the game.
