United (H) - Sun 15th Dec, 16:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[MCFC1993]

Kick off time 16:30 (GMT).

If a derby is for anything, it's for turning up and working your arse off even when you're playing shite and we should know about that over the years.

Unfortunately, I think they're set up perfectly to exploit our weakness, they'll sit back and counter with pace and that'll cause us problems.

As for our starting XI, I'm not sure I could pick it at the moment. Good Luck!

----------------Ortega
Akanji---Dias---Gvardiol---????
-----------------??????
-------De Bruyne---Grealish
?????-------Haaland-------Doku

Hoping Akanji is fit.

If we could get Ake, Stones and Foden in those blank spots that'd be ideal. I know Ake is out long term though.

Surely they can’t be this shit! If we play a high line again with this defence we are fucked.

A team that cannot find the goal and is vulnerable to a breakaway. The rags will be rubbing their sweaty grubby paws.

They're shit, but I don't think they're shit enough for us to beat them on Sunday.

Thought after Palace that United would beat us, and tonight has just enhanced that.

They'll turn up on Sunday, and if they actually manage to put one foot in front of the other, they could walk through us.

 

[SCEtoAUX]

We're going to fucking smash them.

This has another 2-0 loss written all over it.

8 all, Walker at fault for 7 and a Casemiro bicycle kick
