Onana is due for another howler

 

[pascell]

Exactly, big game this - gotta make sure we can...

*Checks the table*

... remain in 13th place.

You know there's more to it than that

I hate derbies. Always have, always will.

When we were good, there was nothing to gain from victory. We were expected to and even a draw was an embarrassment. Now we're inferior, it's just about trying to avoid humiliation. Which we usually don't.

 

[tomaldinho1]

Hasn’t Amorim recently said it’s too soon for him to play? I guess we can whack him in the broader squad and hope to get him some mins at the end of the game if it’s already decided either way.

Are we playing at home or away to Lyon next Thursday?

Actually you’re wrong. We all go into the games against the bigger teams expecting to get leathered but we surprise and either win it or draw. We’ve beat them the last 2 games out of 3 and lost one on pens and we was expected to lose all of them.

If we get past them then we also have Rangers or Bilbao away for the first leg and OT the second. Old Trafford has to be rocking for these games.

Today's game does feel a bit odd with where both teams are in the league and for us, the priority of the Europa League.

 

[OmarUnited4ever]

We can win this if we play with concentration and focus, we will obviously be pinned down so hopefully we make use of the opportunities we manage to create.

So Shaw is in the squad. Considering de Ligt has an issue, does he start as one of CBs?

Over this league season, but will still be fun i we manage to win

It's a real shame he's so unreliable, because on paper, he's an ideal fit for the left centre-back role. He's strong, quick, capable of breaking lines with his passing, and carries the ball with real confidence. In many ways, he'd be far better suited to that position than Martínez, who can sometimes find the wider defensive spaces a challenge.

Inevitable really

What a glorious day for the Derby. Currently stood in the sunshine outside The Quadrant pub, and everywhere you turn there's modestly sized perky tits in United tops. 2-1 to the Reds.

That's asking for trouble.

 

[BorisManUtd]

Arsenal are a dominant team with great midfield so we let them have the ball in the first half and defended. City are better than they were in December but wonder if there's different approach from Amorim against this City midfield than the Arsenal one.

[RuudTom83]

All things considered this is just an awful match. Both teams with nothing to play for, but you still have all the stress of wanting to win even when the outcome is irrelevant.

Beautiful day so I'll just watch it in the background.

Not a fan of Ugarte and Casemiro together

Pretty sure city have top 4 to play for. They’ll be desperate for champions league football next year.

Would of rather had Bruno in CM.

Maguire in for this, what is up with DE Ligt, need him for Thursday. I am also surprised that Garnacho starts today

 

[Withnail]

I think it would be highly unlikely he starts. You'd really hope he'll be eased in given how long he's been out and his struggles with fitness.

 

[Gabriel Djemba-Bebe]

Once again Amorim opts to start the game with 8 defensive players and then come full time we'll wonder why we struggle to score goals.

 

[DavidDeSchmikes]

 

[justsomebloke]

What's with that City lineup? Pl.com have them playing a 2-7-1.

 

[jamesjimmybyrondean]

Zirkzee has shown more in that left 10 role than Bruno in this system

Right. So, who would you have instead?

Which moron podcaster came up with this line then? Kept seeing the same folk repeating it last game too. Hilarious that people have to add the goalie to the count for dramatic effect

 

[Ollie Derbyshire]

Gonna miss the game today which sucks ass but think we’ll win today!
