United (h) - pre-match thread

Taken the gloss off even if we beat the fuckers now
Heads gone tonight

 

[The blue phantom]

We were 8/13 to win this at the weekend with the rags at 5/1. Now we're evens and them 3/1.

If Pep picks our best eleven that evens looks big.

 

[Bill Walker]

Yep, I'd sack off resting players for Tuesday. Try and win this to give everyone a lift and just see how it goes on Tuesday. I'd say there's probably a 90% chance we're already out so fuck it.

Fucking hell Ric :)
We can win both at our place, were not out of Europe yet. We can stick 3 or 4 past the dippers, we just have to play our best formation and team for both games and hope Aguero is fit. I reckon 40% chance we can stay in Europe.

 

[argyle]

Quite a few players need to redeem themselves after tonight. Gone for a draw.

 

[RayCTID]

A major test of the team's overall mental strength, it is time for the the team to respond.

Ha, maybe I'm being pessimistic. We should take heart from the Barca-PSG turnaround last season. 40% though?! No chance.

Full strength against the Rags , batter them on Saturday and it will be a massive lift for the 2nd leg , lets face it the arrogance that the Dippers have they will think they only have to turn up to reach the semi-finals , our players pride was hurt tonight and the Dippers are going to pay for it , we cannot possibly be as wasteful with our final ball as we were tonight , 4-0 with a Sterling hat-track next week would be nice and certainly not beyond this team

I can see two possible scenarios:

1. We capitulate after tonight's awful performance and get beat in the derby

2. We smash them 6-0 and then do the same on Tuesday.

Scenario 2 all day

I wasn't overly bothered about the result before tonight. But the manner of that defeat coupled with a loss here I think would taint this amazing season. It shouldn't do of course, but it would for a lot of fans. I hope Pep realises this and gets them fired up to show us a response. He didn't get it in the league cup last year a few months into his reign, there's no excuse for not getting it now. Smash them, win the league in style and get some momentum going to at least give it a bloody good go against the dippers

Really? Very optimistic. I would agree with Ric. This is Liverpool we are playing not Huddersfield.

We have a slim chance and that’s it. The rags game is bigger for the fans and needs to be treated that way now.
