    No excuse not to win this. We will find out the result of the Arsenal and City game before our match. Surprisingly, I actually think City will drop points at Arsenal so we need to capitalize on it. However we seem to have a habit of dropping points against bottom of the table teams these day, losing to Sheffield United at home and drawing with West Brom. Honestly I won't be surprised if we draw of lose to Newcastle knowing us.

    I would not expect City to drop any points tomorrow and even if by some miracle that did happen then we have lost too much ground in the last few games for it to make any difference
     
    I would like to see us smash them... But I guess we'll probably see a 2-0 where we score the 2nd really late on the counter. They'll probably come really close to an equaliser since we simply can't kill off games early on and let the important names get a rest

    I remember when we dropped an 8 point lead with 4-5 games left in the season.
     
    Chelsea and Liverpool have dropped points.

    Chance after chance after chance after chance after chance this season we've pissed away opportunities to capitalise on other's failures. This team better fecking get it right tomorrow.
     
    Brilliant chance to make some daylight between us and chelsea/liverpool but we will probably drop points again with de gea at fault as it seems every good performance we have is usually followed by a a disappointing result.

    We should have been within touching distance of City man, how did we mess up? So many points dropped against Sheffield, arsenal, Everton and west brom. I have got no confidence in our lot beating these. It will be just like us to go and lose to them.
    They need lessons from Fergie to improve their mentality

    We are a team of relatively young players. And young players are inconsistent. And in this case, it's a collective inconsistencies

    Plus a huge lack of leadership on the pitch within the playing staff.

    Aside from Bruno not a single one of them, to a man, opens their mouths with an ounce of leadership and character.
     
    Must win after most other top 4 contenders dropping points. No excuses not to come away with a win here. If we can't beat Newcastle comfortably do we even deserve to be where we are?

    I'd go with:

    ----------------Henderson----------------
    AWB-----Maguire----Bailly----Shaw
    -----------VDB--------McTominay------
    --------------------Bruno----------------------
    Greenwood-------------------Rashford
    ---------------------Cavani-------------------

    No messing around. Newcastle play with 10 at the back, so no reason why we shouldn't play an attacking team.
     
    Get the 3 points especially what’s coming in the next 4 PL games. A win here will be vital come the end of the season
     
    Only just realised we kick off at 7pm today. What's that all about?
     
    Ole is going to use Cavani's 'injury' as an excuse to start Martial again so he'd deliver another underwhelming performance.
     
    Wonder if the coaching staff caught the bug before the 4-0 win the other night

    makes yer think y’know

    Promote Butty
     
    I'm really excited with Nicky Butt getting used.

    I had a personal feeling that he is going to be important to some level in our future.

    Carrick had a heart problem and operation too. Not sure if that makes him vulnerable but hope they're all okay. Puts it into perspective that football shouldn't be played at the moment and there must be lots of people in the game that are uncomfortable working at the moment.
     
    I want to see defensive solidity, not only by keeping clean sheet, but also minimising the amount of chances conceded, we must pin them down and retain possession high up the field and not allow them to string passes and attack/counter attack us.

    I also want us to score a goal as early as possible to allow the team to settle into the game and go on from there.

    Lineup prediction:

    De Gea
    Shaw
    Maguire
    Lindelof
    AWB

    Mcfred + Fernandes in midfield

    Rashford & Greenwood on the wings

    Cavani as CF

    Scoreline: 3-0 Manchester United Greenwood Mctominay and Fernandes
     
    should really be a straightforward win (by two or three), but we don't do straightforward. If it's a thumping, Steve Bruce might be in the shite...

    You are right about this. Then the FA comes out and says players should not be celebrating together after scoring. The height of idiocy.
    Don't they see players doing the waltz or salsa during corners and free kicks?

    Matic and Fred midfield combo at home to Newcastle I expect, bit grim that.

    Yeah we are developing a bit of a midfield injury crisis but we have been very lucky with that side of things up until the last couple of weeks
