I really do not know what Mata needs to do to start games. He is our best finisher and is also an expert at unlocking parked bus defences. He has a phenomenal attitude and is such an incredible team player. Does he have to score a hat trick in every game to start?

We have more of a chance of a clean sheet then they do.
One things for sure, none of their back 4 are going to have clean sheets When Zlatan is marauding towards them
Like those people who want to wait to see what sex their children are. Lunatics.
It has rained for 40 days and 40 nights, with a chance of showers.

Zlatan, Martial, Mata, Mhkitaryan, Rooney, Rashford and Pogba. So many players who could be goal threats. They are not going to be able to cope.
I'd imagine there will be spoilers for the City result throughout the tv coverage of the Utd game anyway. Impossible to avoid really.
Erm. Team news not announced yet mate...Since Costa is dropped and may be leaving Chelsea soon, Zlatan has now got to be clear favourite to win the golden boot. Let's hope he scores a hat trick tonight.
No, but they like to bitch as if they do.I still do not understand why people say we are out of the title race given that the top six is so close. We are on an amazing run of form. Even Pogba said recently that we were in the title race.
Harry Kane?
Where were you when LVG was dressing down Herrera for scoring and not occupying the 4x4 box he had clearly drawn out for him on the tactics board?
Where are you from sunshine?How would everyone feel like about a draw?
That sentence is hard to process, but it's at Old Trafford. It's a must win.
Have I missed something?Are any of you going to avoid the caf for the duration of today's game?
I will only come on if we're 2 nil up at half time and playing well
Will feel like a loss definitely. Only a win will do here.
Apparently he got tapped up by Chinese club offered £30Mill a year
Had bust up with Conte for allegedly feigning a back injury
Need a win, really. Top 6 will likely come down to head to head records and ours is the worst at the moment with away games to Spurs, City and Arsenal still to come.Don't drink but feel like I could use one, or maybe a pill of some kind to calm the nerves. More nervous than usual about this.Pretty confident we will win this 2-1. Really nervous though, like a teenager seeing his crush after a long while.Still 2 hours away. Damn. What do I do till then?!I hate watching these games. So much is on the line. Chelsea, Spurs and Arsenal all winning means we need to get the three points. I hope we go for the juggler. I won't have any nails left after this match.
Watch Everton City game.This really is it...the game that makes or breaks our season. Win and all sorts of possibilities open up with the way the fixtures work in the next 3 or 4 weeks. Amazingly we are still in 6 but a win would mean that we will definitely move up into the top four soon as the others will drop points playing each other. Lose and its a big dent in our champions league hopes and doesnt bear thinking about.
Im going for 2-0. Zlatan and Pogba to score.
This is not confidence. This is over confidence and nothing is even in your hands that you are assuring that United won't lose
I am too nervous to even watch the match, I wish for some of that over confidence.
I hate jugglers too, not as much as I hate clowns though
Oh ok, thanks.
Drop the kids off at the pool.1-1
Please no, would take away much of the recently gained confidence. We really need a win here, if there ever was a time for a Jose Mourinho masterclass, now it is. For the love of god, please beat this lot.United have beaten Spurs, dominated Arsenal and won 9 in a row, Liverpool will be tenth and people are gonna realise we are no joke, no sleep in 36 hours well up for this. Mufc about to show the league how average Liverpool are
Because RedCafe have made up their mind with 80% on here already cheering Chelsea in the title race. Baffling for me too3 points.
Absolutely ZERO excuses!
Go out and take the game to them. We pointed and laughed at their goalkeeper and defence all season, so go out and do the business from the first minute to the last.
No complacency, we are the form team on a run, at home, with more talented individuals, so just get the job done and show what we can do. It's in our own hands.
Since the premiership began United have been stronger than Liverpool almost every season ( apart from under Moyes) and the stats reflect this, United 27 wins to Pools's 13.A better than 2 to 1 ratio inner favour.So form does indeed matter.Early United team news
Another United team has leaked. Should stress this is unconfirmed and there is occasionally the odd deliberate error as part of Mourinho’s mole hunt.
The suggestion is there are four changes, with Rojo, Martial, Carrick and Ibrahimovic coming in and Smalling, Rooney, Mata and Rashford dropping out.
Would imagine most United supporters would have predicted that line-up.
It’s 10/11 United’s strongest current side at the moment, with the debatable selection being the right-footed Darmian at left-back.
