Yeah feels like a loan moveI don’t really get the concern over/derision of Malacia. I think he’ll do fine today.
No. Cant imagine ten Hag will move away from his system. All that has happened is that he's brought in some extra legs with Fred and moved Bruno out wide.
I'm glad he's done this too, as I felt we were a bit too light in midfield in the reverse fixture.3 centre backs on bench is excessive.Don’t mind that team at all. Fred will bring tons of energy in the middle and there’s loads of pace in that back 4.Where are these “crazy” tactics that Pep promised? All I see is their strongest line-up.
I don’t think I saw him on the bench on the United app, glad he is thoughFred is supossed to be the difference here than our usual lineup. But it depends on him, sometimes maybe good sometimes maybe shit.
Was always going to be his rubbish attempt at mind gamesI like Case - Fred combo in the middle, and hopefully Eriksen also drops deep if we can't get a foothold in the middle of the pitch.
On the defense, we need a big game from Malacia today. Mahrez has been great lately.
He said later on that he was joking/being sarcastic.
He said that was a joke
Iirc, Unai Emery did something similar a very long time ago. Back when Pep was at Barca and they had Messi/Alves tearing through teams on that side. Worked quite well.
Interested to see what instructions EtH/Pep will give to their players. City looked tired last couple of games, United might do well pressing high in the early stages of the game.
Save him for palaceMainoo over Iqbal now? Is Iqbal going out on loan? I hope he is..Damn, their defense has bags of pace.Cancelo's been dreadful for them lately. Hope we're able to target his side.Defending any corners is going to be very nervyJust realised everytime we put antony and elanga next to eachother on a team sheet I always end up wondering where antony is then realise i read two players and not oneMalacia starting , WHY ?
He was dreadful last time I saw him.
My confidence has gone down a notch or 3.
I felt like this last time we played City and Casemiro was on the bench
the key is stopping their FBs from pushing up into midfield, and creating all kinds of overloads. Having bruno out wide (ish) gives them something to think about, especially if stays high...
So does ours with Shaw, Malacia and AWB. Not that anyone could keep up with Haaland anywayThat city line up is so strong.

FFS how can we stop them all?Malacia v Mahrez is a worry. I haven’t been that impressed by him since he arrived although I do see his potential. Martinez situation is a bit worrying as that World Cup looks like it has knocked him back a bit, ETH obviously doesn’t trust him again yet. Whatever happens today I think we need to score to get anything out of this game as we won’t keep a clean sheet. However I’m going 1-3 City and Rashford, Haaland(2), Foden.
Do City score from corners though?Feel like we are going to be playing to stop them, as opposed to bringing the game to them. It's worked before so we will see.Three centre backs on the bench and only one on the pitch… ok Martinez looked rusty but I thought Shaw looked pretty bad defensively as CB last time and that was against much weaker opposition. Also don’t think Malacia is good enough to face City.Im concerned about our left side. Malacia needs to do a complete 180 from his previous performance or those crosses will reach Haaland at some point. Not sure Shaw is the man to stop him. I would have prefered Lindelof at the CB pairing, but him and Maguire seem surplus to league squad requirements.
Elanga needs to go on a loan.
Ten Hag doesn’t take discipline lightly ! Martinez came back too late after the World Cup so he is down the picking order for now. That’s this kind of decision that makes me believe he is the right gaffer long term. No one is above the team. It can be seen as harsh sometimes but it’s really fair.
I think so. That or a 4-4-2 diamond. Be interesting to see the shape. I sense he wants Rashford very attacking, but some cover for him in midfield.
Yeah that is a huge surprise on the bench
That's 5 attacking players. Can be good for City or it can be suicidal.Glad to see Fred in a midfield 3.
Would probably have started Martinez but you have to trust the manager.
It really doesn't say much for Lindelof and Maguire though. I think their days are numbered under this manager.Interesting how everyone is looking for the bad in the line up!
We have strengths too which city will be well aware of.
Just hope we turn up if we do we can take them.
Didnt Haaland score against you on a corner in the 6-3 game?The defense really looks problematic and makeshift. We also have no threat from the width. Positives are we have three in the middle and Fred is really playing well lately.- Status
