United (h) pre-match thread

Very convenient choosing of our most expensive possible team and their cheapest possible team, complete with the usual add ons for us and not for them

It's not even. De Bruyne is injured so it's our most expensive impossible team, surprised Tevez isn't playing right back with Bony in net.

Not confident at all

Gotta change sometime Matt!!! ;-)

Thanks Kaz. I keep forgetting you haven't put your clocks forward yet. Another hour then.

If we win today it'll be our 50th versus the reds with 51 drawers and them on 70 wins. Given our torrid time in the 80's, 90's & 00's i was pleasantly surprised our head to head record wasn't worse. 3-0 today. Toure and Kelechi x 2.

Anybody know what the planned display is? I donated a while back and totally forgot haha.

We still have Stoke at home.

Hope i'm very wrong but i have zero confidence in pellegrini. I don't think he'll set the team up right and i don't think he will have us playing at the intensity a Derby game demands.

I'm expecting an awful game with them to nick it 0-1/2

Paid for a NowTV pass to watch the game today and am watching the Newcastle v Sunderland game as a warm up.

Rodwell is looking half decent (not top 4 decent) - would have been a very good player without all the injuries.

Jermaine Defoe might be 33 but he has looked a lot better for Sunderland than Bony has for us (and as I write this he has just scored)

I think our 'better" players are the main reason we might or might not win. I'm sick of people using the manager as an excuse.

Me too...it's collective.
