I hope David has a good game.
Crocked again.
Yes, it would be nice to know when this plan of sitting deep, having 25% of the ball and hoping to hit big sides on the break, might actually come to an end. It made sense a few years ago when our squad was poor and confidence was low, but this was supposed to be the season when we started taking the game to the opposition a bit more in big games. I guess Liverpool has ended any hope of that.Van de Beek and Sancho really were the transfers of the decadeHope McFred turn up with a good game instead of usual comedy.
Agreed.
We have been at our best as a counter attacking side and it's gone to shit once Ole tried to change things up. Meanwhile Conte plays 3 at the back but his teams press and play a high line plenty. His back 3 or 5 or whatever is far more adventurous than our current setup.
Yh it’s basically where we were 3 years ago but now with loads of new players. City haven’t been amazing this year, we might actually be able to get something but this way of approaching games with good teams surely was never the long term plan.United way boys. DNA.
Why are you shitting it?
Its the same team that he picks all of the time. They will do the same thing as they always do.
The sooner you accept the fact that this is a lost cause the better you will feel.
I hate being negative but I just dont see anythng other than a massacre .
I can see us being 0-2 down after 10 minutes.
That defence is done.This is the last Premier League match we played vs Manchester City:

A 0-2 win at Ethiad.
You absolute crybabies. At least wait for kickoff before you start whining. God damnit.
We did the same in the final game before the Covid lockdown. A 2-0 win at Old Trafford. AWB MOTM
Its fine that you don't want Ole here or enjoy the football, but the lack of belief in the team to get a result against this team when they've done so time and time over is fecking infuriating.Last edited:So we have a half fit Lindelof and Maguire. What could go wrong?Don't watch United with undivided attention these days, it's depressing. Distract yourself with a podcast or some music and you won't suffer as much. Thank me later.
I'm not sure we'll be winning the ball high up the pitch with Ronaldo and Greenwood. And neither has the pace of Rashford either... it's going to be tough.Cavani is a real loss. I don't think Ronny will have enough service to get a win. Utd need some luck.
Sorry but Greenwood’s hold up play is on another level compared to Rashford. He’s actually able to control the ball and retain possession. In the few games he played as a CF at at the start of the season he was great with his back to goal and overall he’s just much more of a striker than Rashford. I agree in terms of runs in behind but that’s irrelevant if Rashford can’t retain the ball in general play.
Nothing, Manchester is Red. We are definitely beating the wannabe smurfs.
I had these superstitions of not posting in match day thread before the match or select squad. Thought It'd bring bad result. But then we are playing shitty anyway so I had let go and now just endure from distance.
Exactly, people complain about going 5 at the back, we've got no other option, we have to play the team and tactics that is most likely to get us a result.Fecking shite how pointless the likes of VDB and Sancho are.Defence FC.Don’t hire Conte because he plays 3-5-2 they said
that’s the most laughable.Not a lot of counterattack ability in that side.If only we had bought rw qnd couple of defenders last few years....now our manager is forced to park the busAccording to The Telegraph, the combined transfer payments that assembled these two squads exceeds £1.7 billion.So Rashford is well enough for the bench, but not well enough to start?
If he isn't well, he should be in the matchday squad. If he's in the matchday squad he's well enough to play, and so, the conclusion is that he is being rotated with Greenwood. Simple as that.Possession stat in this game will be record low for us. 5 defenders, McFred midfield. City will enjoy in this
Phil Jones could have been on the bench
To be honest, Ole don’t play 3-5-2 but 5-3-2, he has 2 fullbacks
I don’t see us getting many shots on target.
Really?
If we do that, we will suffer an heavy defeat.
I'd say it's 7-1-2.To be honest, Ole don’t play 3-5-2 but 5-3-2, he has 2 fullbacks
Fair play to Ole, he did say 3 years ago that we are going to play the United way, attacking football. So its nice to see us 3 years and hundreds of millions later playing with 7 defenders and trying to counter attack for our life.I've predicted 5 0 to us. Back in 2 hours to gloat. Or even at halftime.Expecting a four-goal defeat, if I'm honest. Hoping for one of those miracle days but...
If it's more than four goals then even our dim-witted, blind-as-bats board won't have any option...This thread is embarrassing and we haven’t even seen a kick yawnHard to see how we sustain possession with that team. We’ll resist the press a little better at the back, but once it leaves the back line how are we building up with Bruno, Ronaldo and Greenwood? I would have played Sancho or Lingard up front with Ronnie just to give us the ability to carry the ball a little better and to feed Ronaldo on the counter.United DNA. 5 defenders for a game at OT plus 2 defensive midfielders- Status
