0-2. We win.
I have 0-3
0-2. We win.
That was my worry.What?? I’m usually ALL for Ander but isn’t he rather short of game minutes in general?
of course it matters.
Neville is right
He's not wrong IMOGary Neville not happy with Pogba's attitude and his blue hair, saying he knows he loves football, but doesn't take it seriously enough or works hard enough.

Neville tears into Pogba ahead of kick-off
Paul Pogba’s decision to sport a blue hairstyle for today’s game has not gone down well with the former United defender...
“The problem with Pogba is he doesn’t help himself.
“I always think if you’re wise you don’t attract attention when things aren’t going your way.
“Pogba doesn’t work like that.
“He’s got a big job to do, he’s got to be serious about football.
“Coming out here with blue hair today, win and it’s fine, lose and it will be talked about forever more by City and United fans.
“It’s ridiculous.”

Not sure they would to be honest mate.If Moyes, LVG or Mou picked that City team in a derby away from home, they would be fecking eviscerated.
Remember Fellaini getting into the starting lineup for Sevilla after being out injured for a few weeks? Jose has no problem putting returning players in the team. Jose trusts Herrera with certain roles in games like this as well (like marking Hazard against Chelsea)What?? I’m usually ALL for Ander but isn’t he rather short of game minutes in general?
Neville's got a point.
The hair will be pointed at by fans of both sides if Pogba is shit.
A bit like in the nineties when crappy players would wear gold coloured boots. Doing so has no upside unless you're certain you're going to perform. Pogba's not quite there yet.
Not like a newspaper to sensationalise things."tears into pogba" is incredibly hyperbolic and predictably sensationalist. I watched that interview and Jeff from Sky Sports asked him rather cheekily, and with his tongue in his cheek slightly, about the hair colour.
Gary was speaking more generally about his attitude sometimes on the pitch. The sort of attitude that many in this very forum have questioned. Of course the comments about his hair is ridiculous, but it was more of a general comment.
Man marking job on Silva.What?? I’m usually ALL for Ander but isn’t he rather short of game minutes in general?
Pogbas hair wasn't brought up until, literally, 20 minutes ago.Neville's got a point.

Is he feck.
had he changed it, Neville would say "he should have focused and prepared for the derby instead of going to the hairdresser".
Of course he's right.
Not like a newspaper to sensationalise things.
Don't agree, we haven't seen Herrera for a while so who say's what he'll be like. Happy to have him back if Jose's seen something though!16:37Samuel Luckhurst
The United XI makes sense
It is difficult to argue with the United XI, and not just because that’s the side I selected in the panel.
Herrera has big game pedigree and is more positive than the risk aversive McTominay.
Bailly had to come back in because he is United’s best centre half.
The front three were undroppable after last week.
If we were 16 points ahead and the game were sandwiched between two CL quarter-final games they wouldn't be.If Moyes, LVG or Mou picked that City team in a derby away from home, they would be fecking eviscerated.
A lot of words to say “shit 0-0”Jose won't want to lose to Pep. He'll shut up shop, as he always does against the big sides away.
City have a 10% chance of winning their CL tie. If they run themselves into the ground today, it'll only be 5%. They'll play their normal game, but with far less intensity.
Couple Mourinho's desire not to get beaten and Pep's desire to keep his top players fresh... and I think it'll be 0-0.
They'll bring it up if he's shit and then give him pelters. Which is the whole point and what Neville wants to protect him from.Except Pogba's hair has been like that for weeks (since the games for France). He could have changed his hair now and still have people complain about how he's changing to frequently or trying to make this game about himself etc.
I worry if Herrera is lacking game fitness. He is going to have to work really hard. Mata is not great coming off the bench.Don't agree, we haven't seen Herrera for a while so who say's what he'll be like. Happy to have him back if Jose's seen something though!
The one omission that bothers me is Mata …

Not even sure what that means.A lot of words to say “shit 0-0”
Why the feck does it matter if Pogba has blue hair? All that matters is his performance on the pitch. Neville can be stupid sometimes.
This then. 433.-------------------De Gea
Valencia--Smalling--Lindelof--Young
-------Herrera--Matic--Pogba
Lingard------Lukaku-----Sanchez
That's what I saidI worry if Herrera is lacking game fitness. He is going to have to work really hard. Mata is not great coming off the bench.
He did it to represent blue super saiyan from dragonball z. Never watched it in my life and even I know this, quit the whining.If a City player had red in their hair for the derby, would we not all be mocking him?
Irrespective of when it was done.
Great minds think alike then.That's what I said
I'm worried with his selection unless we get the old Herrera back from KO and I'd MUCH rather have a late introduction of Lingard for Mata later in the game.
It'll be talked about if he's shit. It always fecking is.Pogbas hair wasn't brought up until, literally, 20 minutes ago.
Nobody gives a shit but now its a talking point.
Its like a dive in the box. A defender grazes you and nothing is made of it.
Dive and theres 20 replays slowed down looking for the slightest contact.
Fecking hair colour!!
They're still a good side and will play their usual style, but I agree it's good to see some of their best players rested.For me that's as bad a city team Pep can pick
