That was always the case for any #10 we'd play.
- NME, 1997Playing Mike and Rojo as the 2 center backs
, its just a huge brain fart moment waiting to happen.
What would you prefer? They are our best fit defenders. Adding a 3rd creates complications elsewhere. I think Jose has made the most obvious choice. He's playing to win.10/11, I had Jones in for Rojo.
Just wondering the same thing... like come on what analysis is he going to provide?With Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea all dropping points, the title race is officially all but over if we lose this. A draw wouldn't be a disaster considering other results, but seriously, a win would be thrilling.
That's the key.
They'll be up against the league's second best attack. Let's see how their defence holds up.Playing Mike and Rojo as the 2 center backs, its just a huge brain fart moment waiting to happen.
Has Smalling had a 'brainfart' this season though? Rojo yes, that penalty against Watford was stupid and he looked a liability against Arsenal.
I’m watching in a pub in Covent Garden, is that helpful?Happy Miki is left out again. Good to see Ibra available was feeling a bit nervous when he wasnt available the last two matchesStill not that confident, Matic-Herrera has me worried, but really hope we can step up today and beat them. They didn't look all that in the last weeks, but I have no doubt they will be fired up today. Need to be more active in comparison to Arsenal and take our counters and chances. Hope De Gea and the defence are on top of their game today, they will be under pressure most likely, can't give away soft goals.
Dream scenario: Ibra gets subbed in in the last few minutes and scores a bicycle kick winner in the 95th minute.Gallagher??? Excelent ex City player, Like our Gary! No one else to call for the game from City side? Bellamy? lol
Who they gonna call? GhostbustersPep is a cnut and all, but I really like his grey jumperJesus Christ, feels like forever.
Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal have all dropped points. Chance to put more distance between us and the rest of the pack.
You alright mate?Jose looks cold... literally, he's shivering.
There's only one way things can go after thatHome just in time for this. So, is Silva playing?Boss looking happy!Why is Jose so light hearted in his pre-match interview? Hope he's not feeling too confidentJose's going for it today,he wants to really take the game to City although I"m a bit worried about just Matic and Herrera in the middle...but we have the quality to hit them on the break,big big game this....Come on United!!!
YesJose seems in an oddly good mood, like pre-Arsenal. Maybe he's got something figured out?
He's worked out that watching these games sober isn't even half as fun.Why is Jose so light hearted in his pre-match interview? Hope he's not feeling too confident
Pathetic from Sky. Do they have celebrity Utd fan to counter it? It's no wonder I never watch the build up
yes, bricking it a bit, but ok. Just having a laugh, with guests in studioLukaku has a huge responsibility of holding up the ball so that Martial, Rashford and Lingaard can break forward with pace. But can he do so, his hold up play and passing has been below average at best, Zlatan would be better suited for this type of approach.They're gonna spank us 4-0. Just feel it...
Exactly. Some need to give their head a wobble
To be honest it’s more insulting for ex City pros like Bellamy who actually is a half decent punditNoel Gallagher can say anything and the 3 idiots will laugh hysterically even though he’s about as funny as a fire in an orphanage.
That's the spiritwtf is that clueless twat Gallagher doing there?feck off Noel ya prickI hope Rojo is on his best behaviour today. No disciplinary brainfarts.Easy win tonight guys, I’m drunk and confident.Real attacking side I’m happy with that. Win or lose atleast we went for it like we should at home.
Come on lads!!My usually reliable stream is rubbish, any one want to help a brother by PM?- Status
