I hope we just go for it and be brave, we’re massive underdogs and are all expecting to lose comfortably so at least give it a go and throw caution to the wind.

3-0 City.Last edited:8 pages for this match. I remember when these games would have 20-30pages.
So you don't believe Varane & Ronny are missing from the squad then?All I’m saying is, if someone offered me 4 points from Watford and City, I’d have taken it all day long. I doubt we’ll win today, but at least that’s a crumb of comfort before the game.Unless Ronaldo is injured he has to start, no question.
Where is this crumb of comfort?
The 20% chance we get the win today.Plenty of games left for the Vermin to drop points, ergo, it’s full steam ahead operation “Let’s smash the City bastards!” today.
Correct.Drawn game today….
We’ll get something out of them at Anfield come April when the fixture is rearranged. I’m certain of it. They are no great shakes of late (plenty of luck, mind you) and I’d love the narrative of us depriving them of the title.We tend to bring 22 squad in the match. 11 XI, 9 bench, 1 3rd keeper, and 1 youngster.Ronaldo ruled out
why?
Quite frankly no idea
doesn’t fancy it perhapsPress the shit out of them and start quickly like we often do at their place.
Surely can’t be as depressing as the game at OT…Bruno false 9.
Where did you get this info?
Yeah I haven't checked the news before I posted. Elanga upfront then.
He's injured, along with Cavani, Shaw and Varane.Is it confirmed Varane is injured?
Yeah, we're gonna need pace on the counter - Sancho, Elanga and Rashford hopefully - if we're to get anything from this one. I always felt more confident playing on the counter with this side anyway.
Hamstring injury by all accounts. He's looking at a month out at a minimum.
Hate to say it but seems Real Madrid sold us a crock.That’s why I have to laugh when people convincingly suggest how our CB pairing should be Varane + 1. Yep, we’ll be absolutely fine relying on someone who misses more games than he actually plays for us.
Yup. I doubt he will ever play consistently for the club.
For more confirmationI’d regard a draw as a massive achievement given how poor we are.
Agree. Would much rather see Elanga upfront than the deflatee, no-fecks-given Rashford that we've been witnessing this year“…..Leaving Marcus Rashford as our only recognised forward….”
If this continues then have to make Rudiger an offer which Real aren't willing to match, however think he will stay at Chelsea
Hard to disagree given what we've seen so far. What's this, his third injury of the season?
What was his injury record like at Real?
360 total appearances over 10 seasonsUgh Varane being out is annoying. Same with Shaw. Ronaldo doesn't matter. Cavani never expected him anyway, he's perma injured.
De Gea
Wan Bissaka Lindelof Maguire Telles
McTominay
Pogba Fred
Rashford Bruno Sancho
I would go with this. Need Pogba to provide our entire hold up play basically though which is unfortunate. Need Pogba, Sancho and Rashford to provide the ball carrying... will be tough basically. Not expecting anything.We will probably control the first 30 mins and probably conceed a red card that decides the game.
My worry is Maguire is stone dead being recalled for this and the City front 3 will target him.Anybody expecting anything? OK Spurs went there, and they convincing against the Toffees, but I can't see anything other than a home win. We cannot keep a clean sheet and 1 goal for City they will just pass us off the park, we will run around making blocks try to counter , for them to finish off the game with a 2nd and cruise the rest of the game. Long afternoon guys- Status
