I genuinely know that if I had bumped into that lot on the street I would know about four of them. Gone are the days when you knew their players. They really are fuckin shite these days. :-)

...you'd get an immediate red card , 12 match ban and criminal charges

 

[BringBackSwales]

He's absolutely determined to make us better again as well he's definitely still got the hunger and fully deserves our backing.

His reply to the Isak best in the world question, where does that leave Haaland was brilliant haha also his immediate cut down of the Donnarumma question because he's huge and the little wink haha.

I fucking love Pep.

Glad some of us still pal pal because the shit I read in this forum about him makes me wonder about the sanity of many

 

[Bill Walker]

Amorim will play like he has done the last 3 times he has played us. Of which he has won 2 and drew the other.

Doesn't bode well does it.
Especially now we have no Kev no Kyle and no Jack.

 

[eyalluvitt]

Haaland's first hat trick of the season. Taijini masterclass.

They get one back through Amad.

With another Nunes assist ?

 

[pink_rob_mcfc]

If we score first and in the first 20 mins or so, I think we will smoke them.

I do worry if we go behind though. We no longer seem like we have the belief to turn games around, which is a worry.

I fancy a fairly comfortable win though. 4-0.

How I’d love to see the poznan on Sunday when we take the piss out of these fuckers.

 

[Buckshaw Blue]

Nice to see West Ham have banned half & half scarves for the game with Spurs. Would be great if other clubs followed suit. This game would’ve been the perfect opportunity for us to do the same. I hate them full stop but seeing them at a derby boils my blood!

 

[SamTheGuru]

There can be nothing but siege mentality here. 4-0.

 

[Blue Maverick]

What a blunder by Amorim to give City 48 hours to practise set-piece routines for Bayindir. He was always likely to play but now Amorim has confirmed it, then we should be examining what mistakes he's made and practising.

Other teams are targeting Bayindir but will City?

Ha ha set pieces, ye we will get the ball and pass it back, we are shite at corners and apart from the odd worldie I think the last decent set piece was when Alvarez scored

 

[Marvin.]

What a gamble by Man Utd to loan Onana and assemble a goalkeeping group of Bayindir, Lammens and Heaton! There is a path from this Derby for Man Utd that leads directly to crisis and a relegation battle.

 

[Goater101]

Imagine in the tunnel tomorrow. The rags are stood looking at Donnarumma and they’ve got Bayindr between the sticks. Mentally that’s already a massive advantage for us.

Man Utd are almost certainly going to play 5 at the back and defend their penalty area. That means a lot of City corners and nervous moment for Man Utd fans.

 

[carlosthejackal]

Hope I’m wrong but dreading tomorrow

 

[M Gaudino]

please play 3 midfielders Pep. preferably Rodri, Nico (either one) and Reindeers.

none of this 4 attackers bollocks please we are too crap at the back right now for it

Stones, Khusanov, Dias, Gvardiol

Rodri, Gonzales, Reijnders

Foden/Bobb Haaland Doku

Jeez that looks brilliant, how many fucking people as well lol

More like we get turned over from our own corner they will launch most of their “attacks” from our corners

I’d rather them get goalkicks and then we collect the resulting hoof and build again or press their inept attempts to play out from the back

 

[Woody13]

Recent history in the derbies concerns me, stylistically a bit of concern, confidence levels down (albeit that’ll be for both sides), however, I think our situation in the back if two defeats almost demands a victory and I imagine we’ll deliver. Five goals for Erling midweek could be a massive danger for the Rags providing he gets the service.

We have question marks over a number of positions during this transition phase, understandably so, but I wouldn’t want any other manager in the world guiding us through it. It’s inevitably going to be tense, but reckon we come through 3-1, Haaland 2 and Reindeers.

We scored first last season and thought we’d done enough, a similar attitude last time out against Brighton. We need that ruthlessness back that kills the game while we’re on top

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

Just a win would be nice. Dont care how we get it.
