Derby should be interesting especially down our right side of the pitch 4 quick players in Walker, sterling, Martial and Young. I don’t think Young will be bombing up the pitch to get ahead of Martial as he could be in huge trouble if anything breaks down.

I’d be happy with Vinny up against Lukaku as he enjoys a physical contest rather than someone quick with the ball at his feet or someone running in behind him.

I can see with all the hype this game will get it will end up nil nil which with a gap suits us fine. They have to come and beat us, they have to do better than what the likes of Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and Napoli couldn’t. They have to dominate us at least 45 minutes of football bare minimum to even stand a chance.
 
Thought Watford would have taken something off them. They are playing poor but winning. Saying that I think Arsenal have got a bit more about them. Hopefully they will draw at best giving us the psychological advantage in the derby.

I can see Walker playing a lot deeper to provide fast cover for the centrehalves. Delph too, to reduce Otamendi's exposure to runners.
Otamendi won't mind Lukaku or Ibrahimovic - he does like a bit of aerial stuff - but Rashford would be his worst nightmare.
 
there's a question about mentality. I don't think Pep would ever come out with a "we should have been smoking cigars" comment like Mourinho did last night, like it was job done and should have been over. Pep would have expected us to keep control and keep performing for the full game. Yes, in reality, they should have had the game sewn up at 3-0, but for the manager to come out with such a comment I find rather interesting, and possibly telling.
 
Watford where clearly the better team for the first twenty minutes , i didnt even realise Carlton and Lookatme were even playing, then Daley scored a couple of decent goals within a few minutes , (the type of goals he will never score again as long as he has a hole in his backside) , i then switched off i couldnt stand the fawning over the Rags. Looked at half time result 3-0 and thought they were going to out do our score line ,but the fact Watford got back to 3-2 and Rojo should have walked really only confirms what a poor side yoooonited are. They will play the long game shut up shop and hope for some individual brilliance to nick a couple of goals , this could happen in the Derby game , a flukey deflection a Shrek type shinner into the top corner and then they defend for their lives , that is the only thing that worries me about the derby , they just might get lucky.
 
I don't think a simple foul in the box makes it a yellow card though there's no argument it was a penalty. I heard Silva talking about it but he was massively clutching there.


Ah you're back on here - following a win for United obviously !
