We’ll probably start badly, concede 2 or 3 then get a goal back. Not looking forward to this

 

[dwd]

Random I know but I’ve just remembered Ighalo is still our player.

Still scarred from the Moyes/LVG/Mourinho years?

We have a cracking record against City under Pep. Nothing to fear, should be a good game to watch which could go either way.

City need a game to kickstart them into gear.

We get a kickstart and just resum going through the motions the next game.

I honestly can't be bothered whether we win or lose anymore because you're always unsure what the next game will bring.

 

[McGrathsipan]

Now in fairness, someone else did that and got heavily criticised for throwing players under the bus.

I said collective performance.
I made a point of that

 

[Yagami]

I don't about you but the big question for me is...

Will @Dante be eating before the match?

 

[Paolo Di Canio]

Probably something to note Feran Torres will probably be on AWB this time with Sterling on the right

 

[cheeky_backheel]

You are thinking of last season. Only Spurs (9) have conceded less goals than Man City this season.

That is not cos they are great defensively but that they dominate possession.

When tested by quality opposition, they have been shown to be fragile e.g. against spurs.

This is will be a blow. Cavani against City would have been so useful

Looks like he is going to miss Chelsea, Arsenal & City at home

Why do people keep on saying this?

If you keep goals out you have a great defense

No, Old Trafford falls under Tier 3 restrictions, which for those outside UK means no fans at the moment.

joke

I saw last week the infection rate was less than London so wondered were any changes being made

 

[Dante]

The tiers in the UK are going to be reviewed on 16 December. Hopefully we'll be dropped down to tier 2 by then. If that happens, the first game at Old Trafford would be Leeds at home.

 

[Web of Bissaka]

Need VAR to save us again for this game.

We rely too much on VAR this season.

City are playing well. We will set up with some negative approach yet again.
0-2 or worse.

It is what it is. We don’t rely on it.

We’ve conceded penalties as well. I don’t know if any has recourse to stats but I’d be interested to see how many penalties the others in the top 5/6 have conceded

McT and Fred???. Setting up for a loss

I’d prefer VDB or Pogba instead of McT

 

[Inigo Montoya]

Ole said he was training and a decision would be made late. If it's only touch and go, I can't see him missing all 3

 

[Gopher Brown]

Yep, 0-3 down after 25min, then Bruno penalty midway through second half. A late rally but it’ll be too late.

 

[John Keiler]

There is nothing more dispiriting than seeing McTominay and Fred paired together.

 

[2 man midfield]

There is nothing more dispiriting than seeing McTominay and Fred paired together.

Just ask Thomas Tuchel

 

[ghaliboy]

I've got a bad feeling about this drop.

 

[Inigo Montoya]

Only McT and Matic....that's not just dispiriting but a whole new level of depression

 

[Ollie Derbyshire]

They are our most solid midfield, suppose we could play Pogba and let City run straight through us.

 

[Inigo Montoya]

You dropping drugs somewhere?

 

[John Keiler]

Just ask Thomas Tuchel

I imagine he is still laughing his socks off at our 'tactical genius' and would be unable to answer.

 

[John Keiler]

Like Leipzig did?

 

[Inigo Montoya]

In his defence, Pogba put a better shift in against West Ham and RB when he came on than McT and Fred( although he didn't play against WH)

Point is having artisans against a skilful midfield of City's is a cop out. Plus it's our defence that lets us down far more than the midfield

I live in London.
The infection rates in London I believe are now the highest in the UK, but it is being kept in a lower Tier to ensure that all shops remain open and the economy keeps ticking over.
The picture below was taken last week, on Oxford St and you can see how busy it is. If only a few people have the virus, it'll spread rapidly.
If London wasn't a centre for commerce, we'd already be in T3.

Fred didn’t play against Leipzig it was Matic. Did u watch the game?

He came on when we were desperate and he decided to put in a performance, I’ve seen many more when he’s started and been horrific. He’s best used as an impact sub.

 

[John Keiler]

Fred didn’t play against Leipzig it was Matic. Did u watch the game?

I did. I was saying that Leipzig waltzed through the midfield at will.

On a another point - I did, however, watch a game of football with a wing back bombing up and down the wing and crossing perfect deliveries into the middle, you know, that thing we have been wanting for a while. I know Inter lost out, but Young was up and down the wing like a spring chicken.

No reason Telles couldn’t do that for us if we could get the rest of the back 5 playing their positions correctly, but I’d rather we chose a formation and stuck with it and go with 4-2-3-1.

 

[shaky]

Are you gonna apologize and admit that you are the deluded one and ask for a relevant tagline if they beat us tomorrow? Be a man, answer before the game kicks off. Calling people names is easy, lead by example.

Hang on, you're calling me deluded just for having an opinion on a match outcome that doesn't align with your own? Why so fragile?

 

[Giggsy13]

You really are a troll, honestly. Zero logic, master of twisting words. The likes of you are oppo fans, who enjoy seeing United out of CL, never ever competing for trophies while spending hundreds of millions. The likes of you are happy with being knocked out of CL in group stages while bottling it 5 levels below Poch, who you dare to call a bottler. The only good thing is that the majority of fans still know what Man Utd is about. Keep trolling. The harsh reality is that we fecked it up in EL, CL, and are celebrating top 4 like a trophy, whereas it is only about playing in CL, where our manager is a documented bottler.

Having some perspective and common sense makes you a troll? Yes we know the standards but this squad is not the finished article. No one is happy with CL exit but we had an absolute killer group. Our squad is still relatively young in comparison to our rivals. You have to take the ups and downs that come when you’re relying on 19 and 23 year olds in Rashford and Greenwood to lead your attack.

 

[Sandikan]

Ooh you're on to something. Actually start the correct 11...interesting.

It's very simple this football game.

Start the correct team.
Play in the correct way

= Win
Easy.

 

[MattofManchester]

3-1 City or 1-0 to us. Either way, I imagine. Depends which side of our Jekyll and Hyde personality turns up.

 

[treble_winner]

That's why they will hammer us tonight. Ole has a tendency to disappoint when the fans have hope.

We have heard these kinds of excuses (Squad being young, no finished article...etc) for 8 years already.
