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

[City Glory While Others Fade]

Pep confirming what we all knew, this cup is the last priority.

Loss tonight,

I'd have rested Nolito too.​

Why he's been on a 3 game ban...he's getting a rest from the bench !

Okay fine in the modern game this cup match means fuck all to the club(we are the holders ffs) but I'm telling you this is a cop-out, Pep just wants a good show vs his old side, and he's shafted the fans tonight to get it. Cold bast*#d is our Pep. Cold as ice this lad.

Maybe an idea to see how the game pans out before moaning ?

If we win Pep has picked the right team - stop moaning before you are hurt ffs !

A team vs B team basically.

The vast majority of Premier League clubs rotate for the League Cup, even the ones not playing Barca in a week...

Stop ducking him off lad he's played us mate, the man is smoking some top stuff if he thinks this side will turn over these c*nts.

C'mon City!

You're probably right BUT if we beat these tonight the level of pressure on mourinho and the shit infested ****hole he manages would be enormous. Lose to them and it gives them a huge boost.

We could derail them tonight or get their season back on track.

Personally if we don't want the fixture congestion that comes with winning a trophy I would have liked a strong team tonight and a weakened team next round but what the hell do I know? I'm just a fan not a superstar manager.

We lose tonight and win our next two and everyone will be happy enough.

this all day long. ..its one thing going out of the cup, but to go out to the rags is another

Genuine question.

We're playing a weakened team. Which of their players would get a start in our side tonight ahead of those chosen.

A lot I'd say and that's a worry re our strength in depth.

I would think their first trainers should be able to get into our second team. Seven of their players would probably get in that city team.
