I hope it absolutely pisses down. Grealish might drown when he dives
From the forecast I am seeing, I am expecting it to start raining mid way through the second half. Will check the forecast again in the morning.Checking weather forecasts...its like chilevision for transfer muppetz
Yeah I expect it, to be fair, but aside from Chelsea on paper we could/should be winning the rest of those fixtures.
I agree, on paper our squad is as strng has any in the PL , we should be playing much better than we are.
We just dont seen to be able to play has a team.Thank feck I’m at work, I’ll record it just incase, if we lose I’ll forget it even happened and stay off the cafe for a few daysWe’ll win this to round off a good 7 days
Thought people were crazy to be building a first XI and styles of play around this pair up top. We really need them to alternate for each other and don’t have the centre forward depth for two striker systems. Maybe we get a 5-2-2-1 or 5-2-3 tomorrow?
It still amazes me that people were arguing that we didn’t need Ronaldo, even though we saw what impact Cavani made last year and we already know he can only play a limited amount.
I’m hoping City win the toss and make us kick towards the Stretford End first half. I know it is tradition for us to want to do so for the second half, but it might wake us up early for once.
I don’t think we have kicked towards the Stretford End in the first half once this season yet.If Cavani is out, I hope it's Ronaldo and Greenwood or Ronaldo and Sancho. I don't think Rashford is suited to start the game as one of the two strikers in a 3-5-2 (though don't mind him coming in off the bench).I'm glad this is an early game. You either get some joy in early or you get the disappointment out of the way early. Much better than having to wait around for it.
It was more about whether I need a coat or not t.b.h
0-5, hopefully.
Agreed.Haha what kind of bad tip is this?
Man city giving 0.75 balls and yet the tip is to pick Man City. Crazy.

Potential weekend-killer for sure
To united right…. Right?!
Same bucko called the 0-3 win v spurs as "Depressing result"
United are so blessed to have such great supporters.I have a bad feeling about this game. I hope I’m wrong.
United stopped being a weekend killer for me a while now. I go into matches expecting the worst, so if we win I'm pleasantly surprised or if we lose then it's pretty much what I expected and I just rant on here for a bit before going about my day. Too much going on in life to let something that's supposed to be a form of escape and a source of joy do the opposite of that.
Shaw actually rediscovered his form playing as a LCB.
Not sure if the poster you quoted is being serious. I doubt he was
But there are others who certainly are hoping for us to lose. I got a 3 point penalty on this forum after we beat Spurs for calling them all arseholes. I’m guessing the mod who penalised me is one of those
They are entitled to a new United manager because they want one. To hell with the rest of us.
What bad feeling?
No one can tell actually. Some wants to lose. Some wants to win. Some okay with a draw to avoid conflict.Ronaldo played full game against Liverpool, 71 against Spurs and full game again against Atalanta. Infact, Ronaldo has started each of our games since October 16 and the games against Spurs was the only one he was subbed out in.
Ole does a really bad job of protecting the assets of this club. Bruno is being ran into the ground for more than a year now and hopefully he will still be here for next 6/7 years. Is it fair to say that Ole is actively harming the club in his attempts to keep his job?Don't ask why but I feel very confident. We will win, the game will be comfortable.
If we don't, whoever quotes me will be put on my ignore list
Goes to should how far we have fallen. We were the underdogs against Liverpool at home according to the bookmakers odds, and they completely destroyed us 5-0. Now huge underdogs at home against City. Just sad.Happy Ole sack day everyone.
Can't be, right?
This season's United is much stronger than last season's with the introduction of CR7, Sancho and Varane.
And last season's results:
Man utd 0 man city 0
Man city 0 Man utd 2
Not happening, doesnt matter the result.Match day, going to be a difficult game but hoping we can come up with a result. Would be amazing to get a clean sheet at Old Trafford with this patched up defence. Come on!!!A draw would be the worst result today. Would quite like to see Ronaldo and Martial up front if Cavani is out. Hope Ole plays on the counter and wins, or gets thrashed and is fired. Don't want a draw.
Well SAF did say "you always play your best player". Damned if you do...I bought a ticket for this match back in September, right after Ronaldo had just joined and everything looked rosy in Ole-land. At that stage of the season, I even thought we had a chance at a title challenge. This match was supposed to be about seeing us toe-to-toe with City and announcing to the world that United were back.
Don't think that's going to happen now. Even the weather forecast has it tipping down with rain after the final whistle for my walk home. I'd be happy with a score draw.Think we will show up today. 1-1I know I might get slaughtered for this, but why not try Lingard at LWB and move Shaw to LCB. What do we have to lose? I really wouldn't trust Telles to put in a shift defensively. Hell, Vangle debuted him there.
Something like
Ronnie Rashford
Lingard-Matic-Bruno-Fred-AWB
Shaw-Maguire-BaillyUnless we play 2 up top I don’t think Ronaldo should start. Without Cavani you would have to have Rashford there for those runs in behind. Other than that...looks like a McFred special...dismal preparing for derbies mentally when you are thinking about damage limitation as opposed to taking it to them.
Thank god you are not our manager.
Right now I would take him.- Status
