[No Idea For Nickname]

Comfortable 4,5-0 win, with Mhki back in form, our defence not making stupid mistakes, Lukaku scoring for fun, Rashford not being selfish, Pogba not making stupid fouls, Martial dribbling 6 players, free flowing, easy on the eyes football, Jose smiling. Oh, and City losing.
Merry Christmas!

We'll bounce back in style today. I'm sure of it.

 

[Gopher Brown]

Feck this. Just hand the goddamn trophy to City and get the league over with.

All eyes on the CL.

We can even park the bus properly against an average Leicester City team, let alone Real Madrid.

There’s no excitement left in the league for me. So much negativity around the club at the moment and can’t help but feel that Mourinho has created most of it himself - he really is a miserable bugger.

Maybe because we didn't park the bus against Leicester. The problem was the way we let them easily cross, awful.

 

[Android1974]

Hope it's Lindelöf or Blind instead of Rojo.

 

[ghagua]

Hopefully a 1-0 win. Not asking for much.

 

[MThomas]

I'd be very surprised if Rashford is in the starting lineup. Mourinho can easily tolerate missed chances as "shit happens, repeat that chance and the player will score more often than not", while he usually gets very pissed off with poor decision making, especially when it has consequences.

 

[el3mel]

Can't see a comfortable win here tbh. Will be a scrappy 1-0 win.

 

[SqueakyWeasel]

Not on tv - well not the normal Sky/Bt here in the UK..

Isn’t that only Saturday’s?

 

[Tom Van Persie]

Burnley are a hard team to break down but we should be out for blood today after conceding a late goal on Saturday so I'm expecting a ruthless performance.

 

[dichinero]

Every match is a match against a rival now. Exciting times ahead

 

[Magnus]

Can Shaw get a game ffs??
De Gea
Young VNL Jones Shaw
Matic Pogba
Mata/Lingard Rashford Martial
Lukaku
Attack, Attack, attack attack attack

Did you not watch the game? Because we didn't park the bus against Leicester.

What do you mean?

 

[Feed Me]

What do you mean?

Probably a reference to us being much closer to the likes of Burnley than City.

 

[jymufc20]

I'm sure it's also boxing Day that rule applies.

 

[Jazz]

Isn’t that only Saturday’s?

Doesn't seem so cause it's definitely not on..

Probably.

Merry Christmas!

I believed 5-0 win.
I believed defence not making mistakes.
I believed Lukaku scoring for fun.
I believed everything you wrote.
But the one thing that gave it away was: "Mhki back in form"

 

[Gopher Brown]

Did you not watch the game? Because we didn't park the bus against Leicester.

I think we both know the answer to that.

 

[dannyrhinos89]

I’m going 1-1.

It’ll be another turdfest full of frustration and general poor players efforts.

This is our best season since SAF. Get a grip. We have exciting times ahead.

 

[Peanut Butter]

Right, doom mongers. If we're so bad in second place, what does that make all of your second favourite sides Spurs and Liverpool?

 

[adamwest]

They already ruined Christmas. Go for the double and ruin Boxing day too?

 

[Catt]

I think we both know the answer to that.

Then you know how we played.

 

[Catt]

Right, doom mongers. If we're so bad in second place, what does that make all of your second favourite sides Spurs and Liverpool?

But they attack and score so many goals.

 

[Kapardin]

Take a look at what's going on in the Jose thread, makes that poster look like a perennial optimist.

Burnley will be a tough proposition if our forwards are not on top of their game. They will park the bus, we just gotta find a way around it. Despite their great season, they don't seem to be very prolific in front of goal. So if our CBs just do the bare minimum while our forwards don't bottle easy chances, we can walk away with 3 points.

 

[madzo2007]

Would be extremely nice if we could an early goal

What a stodgy frontline.

 

[Ban]

Shaw starts!!!

 

[el3mel]

Zlatan, well that was a surprise.

 

[Bestie07]

Martial?

 

[madzo2007]

Zlatan in behind Lukaku then with Mata & Rashford wide. No Martial at all

 

[Raw]

Well I guessed that completely wrong

 

[Magnus]

Where the hell is Martial

 

[el3mel]

Only thing I'm afraid about is the combination of Mata and Zlatan in creating the attack can be very slow.
