They've been humiliated many times already, I'd rather go 2-0 up, make early substitutes and conserve energy

Jesus!

Like the 2 nil lead in the title game!

2 nil is fuck all, start making changes after 75 if we have a 4 goal lead.

You can really see in this thread how the media have conditioned us to fear the rags, by every metric we are better than them but im still bricking it as i do every year its fecking ingrained

I coach a team of 8/9 year olds and we have just got a new player. Little lad who is a red.
I only had one spare shirt and it was the number 5. Gave it him last night and he went “oh no not harry maguires number”! I said , “pretend youre john stones” and he replied ,”yeah ok”, and walked off with a smile.
His dad was devastated

Haha love it

We smashed them several times when by every metric they were the better team, by streets. A derby is a derby. The only completely predictable one, where the metric does seem to pan out, is the Liverpool one.

Best XI we can select on sunday please - which is below. Im playing Nunes on the left due to his mobility in what I think will be a physical game, and I want Phil Foden in the middle at all costs. Im not picking Alvarez there as he isnt a midfielder; Im not picking Doku there as hes a very mixed bag. Kovacic cant play on the left and I want a central 3 axis of Rodri, KDB and Foden which when played together is arguably the best in the world at the moment.

Ederson

Walker
Dias
Stones
Ake

Rodri

Bernie
KDB
Foden
Nunes

Haaland

Get Mateo in for Nunes the others will work it out, you think it will be physical so why start Nunes ?

They have no defined playing style, they are massively weaker now than back then. They have a serious injury situation and no striker. We will smash them…. It’s is the way :)

Not to mention a manager, who’s a tactical coward.

Wish we still had Dihno he knew how to get to this shower of shite ;-)

 

[The Black Shed]

Silva has to start on Sunday.

In every metric they used to be better than us but we still won a few
