Carrager, It would be a disaster for the rags to lose against this city line up haha

League and Champs league is more important.

Rags are desperate.

I would have played our strongest team are as near as damm it. The midfield in particular looks very poor. You need a conduit in there otherwise the front four will get little service.

Fernando and Navas do not help at all with ball retention. Once you have players not able to retain posession the system Pep plays falls down. Gundogan or Silva would have played for me to link the play between midfield and attack. Sterling is also on great form and also would have started on the right.

Sorry. But that is one of Navas' strengths, not giving the ball away. Unless crossing ;-)

There will be at least four goals in this.

Sorry but this game really isn't very important. Except to Jose and the Trafford hordes.

It might not be in the grand scheme of things but followed by a draw at WBA and a 2nd loss to Barca it quickly turns into a crisis. Quoting Pep "The next game is the most important".

Nando owned him in the derby.

true, but the derby was a long time ago, and he hasn't been playing consistently since

I am pretty much confidant we will boss the game as usual and secure a comfortable win.
Such a victory will send all their plastic followers into absolute despair.

The only thing I would say in PEG's defence is he desperately needs win after Sunday. He's in survival mode.

Carragher summed it perfectly. Mourinho needed to field a strong team, guardiola didn't. They will love it if they beat us tonight, but it will papering over the cracks.

Neither three of the games have been played yet. Relax.

Unbelievable this forum. People moaning like we've lost already and the fannying around bickering about punctuation. We might win ya know
