Don’t be a twat.Pogba injured?
I would rip your hand off for a draw.I'll be incredibly impressed if we win today, I'd have a real rethink on my Jose stance if he can get that team to beat City.Considering Pogba is out, I'd have liked to have seen Herrera holding and Fred and Fellaini ahead of him.
Like the front three though.Not that many changes we can make tbf if pogba and sanchez are injured. It's only really Fred and maybe Mata
Yeah, it might work if we could defend.Worrying the two game changers from last year's derby are both not available to start. Sanchez and Pogba can provide the quality needed in the final third. As it is, Martial is the only one that can provide the creativity needed.I never trust Rashford and Lingard in the squad really, Let alone Fellaini and Matic behind them the two are slow af. But those what we have right?
You are likely going to see the whole team near our own box this match... so that includes Fellaini.
Is Sanchez injured?
Yep. I think there's a time and a place for Fellaini, but him starting in midfield in a game of this importance is hard to take.This isn’t going to be pretty is it?If that team suited up for West Ham the first week of the season, their fans would've said, "Yeah, we'll be safe again, but won't play for anything beyond that."Lingard words hard and intercepts a lot, quick and good on the break. His inclusion makes a lot of sense.if we resort to just humping long balls aimlessly we are screwed - we need some calm heads who will use the ball
if it's hit and hope City will have 75% possession
I read that he was still feeling the effects of the knock he got against Juventus. Not sure if its true, but he did need treatment for it.
Whats Lingard done to walk back into the side for two huge games?I love these inspirational match day threads. Set one up in a perfectly positive mood before a game
Typical losing Pogba for the derby again! Would have been more confident starting with Sanchez and Fred.This place,
Now watch Young crossing ball and Felli heads it in the net.
Rashford scores from one on one, after Matic's brilliant pass.
0-2, I say.
Maybe I should stop using these little purple pills Fellani and Matic both starting, what kind of fecking joke is this? We're going to get destroyed in midfield with 2 dinosaurs who can't run.
Two players post Moyes and LVG .. Two.
His skill set and attributes.
Dead leg apparently.Zero creativity and even less mobility in the middle, frustrating 90 mins ahead in terms of putting up a fight. What's the purpose of buying fred when you are not going to play him?Jose always starts Lingard in big games.
EDIT: Oh Alexis is injured. Fine.I’m no expert but I can say there’s zero chance of that setup winning this game. We play deep at the best of times, those midfielders will be rooted to DM whilst we resort to hoofing the ball upfield for City’s defence to mop up.
I see zero creativity in that side.Gonna need a lot of alcohol for this.I still have hope Martial can perhaps hurt them but who is going to get the ball to him? We needed Mata or Fred to fill the gap left by pogba.
It'll be like this if Pep remains at City and Mourinho at United. I'm resigned to the fact we'll never win the league if the managerial thing remains like this. It'd need a good chunk of luck for a Mourinho team to win a game against Guardiola.excited to watch a bunch of overpaid, average United players try very hard to keep a game with City tight. Because they don't have the skill to do it otherwise.
I know. It was an observation. Not everything on a message board has to be a complaint.Guys, look on the bright side. City are widely expected to steamroller past us. Especially since Liverpool have won. We have nothing to lose. No expectations here. Just go for it and who knows? We might just get lucky.
I'd be absolutely amazing.Sorry to ask this if it's been done many times before but where is Pogba ?
You might be better just going to the pub.Herrera is going to need to have the game of his life, a lot of pressure on him to link the "midfield" with the attack.- Status
