Utd v City | EFL Round 4 | Pre-Match Thread

[UnknownGenius]

To be honest I'll be sweating through the first 20 minutes. But if we get to half time level, with Aguero, Sterling and Dinho on the bench I'll be 20x more optimistic. We have gamechangers. They have Ashley Young. The pressure will be getting to United by then. But Fernando vs Pogba fills me with dread.

My only disappointment is not seeing Fellaini start :(

If we were going to throw the game Pep should have gone the whole way and play Adebaiyo, Angelino , Gunn and the tea lady

Tea lady is out, she strained her lapsang souchong :)

decent team lads and lasses,i think united will struggle with that midfield so here is hoping 1-4

Optimism sky high haha hope your right pal

Our central midfield looks very weak.

I guess I'm one of the few quite happy with that line up? Yeah it's a bit weaker than our first choices for midfield, but we need to give some of the younger players a chance, Garcia has more than earned that right. The attack looks good, as does the defence for me.

Scum have gone full strength as they know this is one of two (FA cup as well) chances of winning a trophy this year, despite the large sums.

We've got a very fast forward front 3, running at Carrick. They've got a shit defence, let's do this!

 

[greasedupdeafguy]

That's the spirit!

You confident in a side without aguero, silva, sterling and Fernandinho?

I suspect it'll play more like a 4-2-4 or 4-2-3-1 with either Nolito or Ihenacho playing off of the other. Fernando and Garcia both essentially holding in front of the back 4. Which is far more reasonable than Nolito as a CM
