United (h) - pre-match thread

[Pam]

Playing a weakened team in this may be a bridge too far for many.
Logic dictates Tuesday is more important but given Guardiola's poor record in the CL even if we beat Liverpool not sure we can win it.
Today however we can make history
Do the right thing Pep.

If we get past Liverpool, of course we can win it. But I don't see a 4-0 or a 5-1 or even a 3-0 + penalties on Tuesday, whatever team we put out. So today's game is the best bet for another golden memory.

He is coming out with some questionable statements though.

Go on I'll bite.

Which statements were questionable?

Was just about to ask the same thing.

Derby nerves kicking in. Hope Pep goes with a strong starting line up. Let's put the league to bed with a good win, confidence up for Tuesday and then go for the jugular from the first minute against Liverpool. Come on City.

I’m in no mood to look on Twitter at 4.15 and see anything other than our strongest team. Need to do these ****s.

I see Everton fans have forgotten its a derby today. I know sometimes the TV makes atmospheres sound a bit shit but fuck me they were louder against us last week. Their players might consider putting a tackle to two in as well.

On today for us, I have no doubt players will be rested and doubt Walker KDB or Silva will play. Depends how fresh he wants to keep Sterling and Leroy as well. If Kompany allows Lukaku to bully him with no protection from the midfield its gonna be a long day as they're going to go long to him all day. PEG might go for us today, he likes a wounded animal I would guess. Lets hope we're up for it and not sulking after midweek. Think I'll need a beer or 2 in Summerbees beforehand and looks like I'm going to get wet as well.

Fuck me I hate derby day.

Best place in town to watch, for us poor souls who don't have a ticket?

Keep thinking 7-2, a famous scoreline I believe. But back to reality
Win today and Tuesday takes care of itself.

I’d be more disappointed seeing a weakened lineup today than the result from Wednesday.
