So we will park the biggest bus ever and pray that Martial or Rashford can do something in one or two counters. Yeah, that work for all clubs against City

Can we stop moaning now and wish the team all kinds of luck they badly needs against a superior city team?
I did! We need someone with a football head to stop all the super talented youngsters we've bought running around like headless fecking chickens. Do you not see any correlation between an improvement in general play, recent wins and the inclusion from the start or the "interjection" of Mata's cool head?
I'd give my left nipple for that outcome.
Herrera has experience - matic has been woeful despite all the experience he has. Anyway let's see if he's turned a corner in this game.For the first time this season, there's some pre-match nerves. Don't know what to expect really. Avoid red cards though lads.I guess based on that lineup, the idea is to absorb all the pressure, and hit them on the counter. Perhaps late in the 2nd half if the team manage to hold on, another subs tactic might be in play again like Juve game. Either way, on paper, it does not inspire confidence midfield wise.
Surely you couldn't expect that kind of midfield vs City away.
It would have been nice to have Mata or Fred in there but I understand Jose's selection.
Hes been saving all his effort for it, literally all of it.I'll take a point. A win would be blinkin' marvellous... but it's unlikely.
But let's play well. We have some decent players, and it is a Derby match... let's show some quality, organisation, pride and effort.
We need some leadership on that park..... the players do look to Pogs for inspiration, and it will be interesting who takes this role on. I do not want to see a bunch of timid players out there.
So Alexis is option. "999k"per week is option while Lingard starts. Bloody hellI don't get why you wouldn't start Fred or Mata in the middle so we've got somebody who is comfortable with the ball.It will be interesting to see Felllainis position on the pitch. This might very well be something closer to a 4-4-2 with Matic and Herrera never being in the opposite half for the entire game. And Fellaini up close to Rashford.
I think its a sensible line-up if thats the plan tbh. Anyone that thinks that we are going to try to pass the ball through midfield today is naive. We are going long to bypass Citys press. Anything else would be suicide tbf.We are never gonna win the league this season so a dirty point is a good result.
Need to be realistic with our critisim today.
That's because Jose doesn't want us to have the ball
Such as...You would think Pogba performs for us like Messi the way he's being talked about here.
I'd have preferred someone who can pass the ball, at least one.I'll probably miss the first few mins of this. Would be nice to turn it on to us leading!
I agree with not expecting all of them. But having 1 player in there who can make something happen with a pass would clearly help our counter attacks. So going in without 1 of Fred and Andreas seems like we're playing for a 0 - 0
I think Jose himself will drive the bus, park it in front of DDG, then ask his players to exit the bus and defend like their lives depend upon it.Only two players in our starting XI were signed by Jose. City have seven signed by Pep.
At least he can bring the ball to attack g areas, we will be playing in our own half for entire game now.What the feck is with Aguero's hair?
Yeah, we're banking on Herrera's industry in the central midfield area today. Matic and Fellaini will offer nothing in that department, so poor Herrera will be run off his feet. Can see him getting sent off as it happens.
Matic owes us a good performance.
Let's hope he heard you.
I think Jose himself will drive the bus, park it in front of DDG, then ask his players to exit the bus and defend like their lives depend upon it.
Air plane, don't forget the wingbacks.
Well he chooses to play fecking Fellaini in place of Fred and dropped Sanchez outright, he cannot complain.>Lingard
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOFellani and Ander will have to bully them around to make this effective.Silver hair? Tf? lollol at the City supporters in Philly they're showing on NBC. Plastics!700m spent since Sir Alex retired and that's the best XI we can put in one of the biggest games of the season. Amazing stuff.
Where is our Dof, Eddy?
Doing a 'Pogba'.I'm so pumped for this. We're winning and Fellaini is going to have a heck of a game. Martial is going to play silkier than my gfs poon!!Anyone planning on renewing calls for Jose's head on the basis of a bad result today?After seeing that lineup I’ve got only one thing to say - Jose is absolutely clueless and will never change. I’ll leave you all to it.With the speed of Matic and Fellaini and the defensive work of Rashford and Martial I think we won't leave our box much this game.
If they take their chances it'll be ugly.Aguero sporting silver hair, clearly banking on that illustrious second place and a silver medal.- Status
