Just smash these cunts, give them no respect.

Need to be strong and battle for every ball, we know they will get a soft penalty if the chance arises.

 

[01cravend]

Khusa at RB.. Love that Pep has finally identified an almost need for his pace back there.

Happy to see Phil back too. Was looking sharp before his last set back

 

[Gabriel]

Youngsters on the bench rather than two goalkeepers or an empty seat. Tis the future.

 

[mosssideblue]

Some more cunts

And the manager “ useless ****”

[Blue Smarties]

It’s worse than usual today

Shit you not, the sellers were saying hello in Chinese to entice them over! Thick Manc and scouse accents attempting Chinese…

 

[King Jay]

Who is on the bench? Not seen it but assume 5 or 6 are not available.

 

[1961_vintage]

Interesting how this sets up? I’m assuming it’s Khusanov Dias Gvardiol back 3, midfield diamond then Foden Doku Haaland. Pack the middle of the pitch and stop transitions (hate that word)

Looks like 4-5-1 to me. But fluidity of formation will be the key yet again.

 

[hilts]

I was hoping the Stones thing was just one of those faux-injuries but nope, the guy is just made out of glass.

Tissue more like:-) shame, hes the best there is.

 

[Goater101]

Rags have zero moves from the bench to make. We don’t have many ourselves but a couple options.

 

[Cobwebcat]

Mefuni and Mukasa on the bench

 

[I'm Blue]

Regardless of the team I want a performance today.
More so considering the devastating news this morning.
COME ON CITY!!!

 

[hilts]

Like our team . That's one of the worst united teams I've ever seen come on blues that absolute garbo

Well that's gone and done it:-)

 

[mdj0520]

Right, based on that presser's injury updates, I'd go with;

................Donna
......Khusa.....Dias...Gvardiol...
.......................................O'Reily
.........Nico G........................
Bernardo............Rodri...............
................Reijnders....Doku..........
.........Haaland...........................

I don't like Bernardo on the wing but I'd want us to play with a back 3 with Khusa and Gvardio providing recovery pace given Pep's high line. He's there because his work rate and versatility is the best option to provide defensive cover and width to balance the formation with O'reily on the other. The other option would be Ake and Gvardiol both in the side with one at left back and Nunes pushing wide on the right, but I don't want Nunes anywhere near this game.

If Foden is fit enough to start, fuck everything I just wrote off and start him instead of Bernardo and play a more orthodox back four/443.

Near enough called it

 

[kippaxwarrior]

where is generational talent rashford?

Making fish finger butties in Barcelona

 

[ninjamonkey]

Looks like more of a choice between Nico and Rico to invert into midfield.

Perhaps. Not something I think we need against these though, rodri and bernardo is far better than anything they have and then you've got reijnders helping out too to give us control of the game.

Much sooner have the security of ake and not leave a gaping hole with a sign saying attack here to score In behind.

Grand. Stronger than I thought.
