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

[cookster]

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

It's not really true, he didn't come on until the 2nd half and we had 2 against 3 in the middle. It's the reverse in this game, Garcia and Fernando will get run ragged by Pogba, Herrera and Carrick.

 

[argyle]

There will be at least four goals in this.

Hope for us...

In vain i think, but COME ON BLUEBOYS

That side is a joke, if we beat them with this 11 then rags are truly shit.

 

[City Glory While Others Fade]

League and Champs league is more important.

Rags are desperate.

We are defending cup holders and we are playing bitter and hated rivals !

 

[Rammy Blue]

It's such an easy get-out to say "disappointed with the line-up"

Anyone who expected much different is clueless.

 

[SWP's back]

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

Last season no. But Sane, Nolito, Nacho and Garcia weren't really either here or that good last season (unfair on Nacho that)

 

[cookster]

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

I trust Pep 100% but I think he's creating pressure for himself that's not needed.

 

[Andy Morrisons jock strap]

Agree we look a bit weak in midfield but much more solid at the back with Vinny and Otta where as there back 4 looks beatable

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".

He has added the rider: "although the league cup is a little bit different"
