Yeap. My hope for the season was United to get into the Top 4. Anything else is gravy.
Which interview?Not a bad line-up at all. Think the deciding factor will be how we approach the match. Our mindset going into it. If we don't believe we have a chance it can get ugly.Fred is perfect for this game. No concerns there.
A little unsure on the Shaw/Malacia picks. Shaw has looked great at CB but hasn't played vs the best opposition. Haaland and co are a completely different test. I'd guess that Martinez still isn't 100%, which is fair enough. Shows how far Maguire has fallen down the pecking order.Rio talking about Rashford's smile againHappy with bench apart from Elanga,honestly think Pellistri could have given us something with Wout not eligible yet
You know what Bruno is like when he is tired and over-played -- a lot of Hollywood, speculative shots/passes.Good feeling about this game. A draw at the minimumRashford on the counter is our only attacking outlet. City are superior in that sense with multiple threats and that will determine the outcome.Big calls again. These are the things, if they work out, that build belief. You never feel that Ten Hag lets anything sway his own convictions when it comes to team selection. Is there a single one of us that would have picked exactly that team? Have to admire it. Hope it works out.The sudden mass talking up of Pellestri seems a bit silly, I’m not even remotely surprised to see him not involved today.
It's not that we think Pellistri will be a world beater straight away it's that Elanga offers nothing and would be a better option.
I agree. Pellistri did more in his 5 mins cameo than Elanga did in 85 mins against Charlton.
Now watch him come off the bench and bag the winner!
Come on everyone we've been playing well we have a chance their not unbeatable.Let's be having you! Come on MUFC!feck me, city has chopped off some of you lot's balls off.Is Elanga the latest forum demon now?
it’s mainly because Elanga is on the bench. He’s done more in 10 mins than Elanga has done all season. Wouldn’t have been a talking point if we had Iqbal or someone else on the bench.Manchester is RED.
CheersMahrez vs Malacia is scary..I wonder which Fred will turn up todayThis lineup scares me.
Let’s hope he has one of his magical days. I think Cas will be big factor too. No matter what I have not felt so good about a game against City in years. Let’s hope the lads don’t let us down. Go Utd!
He has done more when it comes to stats yes, but Elanga is probably good at following instruction on the pitch in terms of pressing, running into positions etc... More to football than goals and assists.
He is obviously doing something EtH want's him to do.
With Bt there. Basically said the mentality has improved a lot this year and the squad are a lot more determined to win.
The split interview with him and Foden on BT Sport.First time I can remember where we've set a lineup which looks like we're trying to win the possession battle and press from the front. Feels like every lineup we've ever set against City for the last five years has always been about winning on the counter attack.
Pep?Strong side from City but that back 4, Walker and Canceli have both looked out of form and Ake, although good this season, doesn't feel as intimidating as a Dias in top form. I hope we ho front foot and really test them.
Also credited eth’s determination to win for the change in squad ethics
Trust me, we'll be playing counter attacking football today too.Hoping we control much better than our last outing.
A midfield duo of Eriksen and McT was used last time. I prefer the energy of today's Casemiro and Fred. Frees up Eriksen too.I really hope we dont get a FRed card moment today but it wouldnt surprise me.Worried about Silva, he's always been lively when I've seen him. Agree with EtH though, stop Rodri and you've come a long way.
Nope, simply because Shaw is a far better left back than Malacia.
What part?
Thanks.
Never would've put Shaw at CB, good thing he's the manager and I'm not. Brilliant mind. This man made me excited for matchdays again.- Status
