United away - pre-match thread

[Wretched Vengeance]

That derby where they pointedly targeted Wright-Phillips was one of the most cynical, snide things I've ever seen in a football game.

Unfortunately, I think the little genius that is Silva will be on the end of it tomorrow.

And they'll probably get away with it for some time.

Aleix Garcia on the bench would mean no Yaya I suppose. Makes sense to me.

Lineup:

Bravo​

Sagna Stones Ota Clichy

Dinho​

KDB Silva​

Sterling Nacho Nolito​

Subs: Willy, Zab, Kolarov, Fernando, Delph, Sane, Garcia.

I don't expect Komps and Gundogan to be in. They need match fitness first.

Who's gonna take the penalty for City without Sergio?

Silva :-)

When we signed Tevez, there was a fans forum where he was answering fans questions.
He was asked if the systematic kicking that SWP was subjected to in that game was ordered by their management as he was part of that game for them.

He said "no comment"

He followed that up by nodding his head to say YES it was.

Scum. They will do it again.

Surely Navas would be on the bench ahead of Garcia?

 

[Peggy's a blue]

Just been reading that the well known expert on all things football Robbie Savage, Robbie seems to think that "City will always be in the shadow of United " because we cannot produce "home grown talent like lingard and basford" And so it goes on, if Karma and tempting providence is true, we will stuff these rag bastards tomorrow and God will I celebrate ;-)

 

[ninjamonkey]

doubt Garcia will make the bench with the likes of Delph, Fernando and probably Gundogan all options. He's probably just travelling with the squad for experience which happens all the time.

 

[Stevieatlasblue]

Hope we do them tomorrow.big fest on them with their media all over their darling club..come on blues shut them up.I would love to see a big flag of our old crest..zlatan worries me.jump with him.

 

[CitizenTID]

Agree with everyone else who has said - most one-sided build up to a derby I've ever seen from Sky (and elsewhere). Even the bits that are meant to be about us are actually about Ibrahimodick, Maureen or a non-City pundit with a line about Pep.

..zlatan worries me.jump with him.

Hope not. Nailed-on penner if anyone does.

 

[St.Pauli support]

Maybe. I don't know that guy who said Garcia will be involved tomorrow.
I only remember Pep say he wants to 'control the macth'. Maybe he needs more options in midfield then?

Those big matches are all about attitude.
I hope the home side feel some pressure and City turn up sharp and confident from the start.

 

[HarrytheBlue]

I know it's premature but literally can't wait for this one

Looks like Aguero might be our only absentee.

I think a draw would be a good result and think both sets of fans would probably take it deep down.

So assuming all our players escape the international break injury free (unlikely I know) I reckon we'll line up something like

.......................Bravo.....................

Sagna....Otamendi...Stones...Clichy

......Fernandinho......Gundogan.........

.....Sterling..........Silva.........Nolito....

........................Kelechi......................

Bench. Willy, Zabaleta, Kolarov, De Bruyne, Sane, Nasri

Exciting to see which 11 pep picks

Without doubt, United fans would love to see United play with City's pace, flair and movement. Instead, United play like a better West Brom - lumbering giants hoping for a free kick or a corner. Ha ha....

This game has come a couple of months too early for us so I would take a draw, in footballing terms it's like night versus day, we have a better manager, better players but we are in transition and jose isn't daft. We could rip them a new arsehole or lose to a coach who knows how to expose our weaknesses.

 

[Pleatfooted]

5/2 at the bookies to win tommorow.Easy money

Who's that with pal? Put £20 on Monday 21/10 with skybet thought that was stealing money haha

 

[Bewar3them00n]

Flicked over to BT sport last night ( in passing), it had Premier League World, or something like that on, during the City section it was all about players who've scored the most goals against City, WTF!!? Is this part of some large targeted campaign against City? I've purposely avoided any media build up because it's been so one sided ( as reported on here) and because some of the pundits are idiots!
Besides that, calmly confident that Pep will have the boys prepared for Maureen's bully tactics!

It reminds me of Arsenal coming to play us under Hughes,we won 3-0 and 4-2, pretty football and a dogmatic philosophy has to be near perfect to win these games.

Like the 2009 Champions League final - United were all over Barcelona for 10 minutes until they conceded and then a totally different game thereafter. Very small margins will decide this and a draw is likely also.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Thank fuck its the last sleep.

Been ages with the international break and even worse having to wait all this time to rip the rags a new one.

 

[Mr Ed (The Stables)]

So nervous, I feel sick to the pit of my stomach. Come on City.
