As I’ve pointed out previously, when we played these lot in January, we were struggling for form, whereas the scumbags from Trafford were probably the best they’ve been all season. They had to rely on a referee, who was incompetent at best, and a downright cheat at worst, and they still only just got the better of us.Need to make sure we don’t fall for the trap which happened in January with this lot. They literally brought City down to their level of play with the way they fake injury, roll around but then snidely kick the shit of the opposition as the ref lets them do it. They do have a quick break on them, we have played and contained two teams in Madrid and Bayern who can counter better than what United do.
There’s no pressure on them as no one seems to be giving them a chance. I hope our lads are not complacent and Pep gets them into the way of playing they have been doing since mid February of mechanically destroying teams.
Since then, Pep has changed the system/formation, with one of the defenders pushing forward into midfield.
If we play to our best, there really should only be one result, even if every one of their players has the game of their lives.
The only intangible is the way the game is officiated, and that is my worry.
