I do but I don’t want Fernandes playing and being substituted until the 86th minute or Maguire to start and everyone to be shocked when he reinjures himself

We literally wont play anybody who appeared today bar Henderson, Matic and Bailly.

The rest wont start 2 games in 3 days in a covid season. No chance.

As long as we don't start Fernandez, Cavani, Maguire, Shaw, AWB and Pogba and maybe even Fred I couldn't care less about the result.

Always want your own team to win, with the only exception being if it stops your big rival actually winning a title.
Not just missing top 4, that's outrageously small time.

I mean I'd like us to win, but I'm not bothered if we don't.

We should be starting a weakened team and Liverpool is the bigger game, so yeah, it'll be understandable if we drop points.

My perfect scenario is to lose to Leicester and beat Liverpool. It's the best way to troll Klopp and to inflict pain on our bitter rivals. I think on the day though when the match is about to start I will definitely want us to win it, just like any other game.

We're in the CL now no matter what and winning just delays a City celebration, so it's easy to feel quite nonchalant about dropping points when there's no trophy to play for.

I want us to win, but I also want us to rest at least 9 players who started today.

Yep I want us to win, it'll be even more enjoyable if we do it with a B team

Suppose Newcastle pull out another performance and beat City and we have thrown it away with a sub par performance. Win and we could potentially be 7 points behind with a game in hand if it happened, heaping more pressurs on City.

I'm the eternal optimist, and therefore no matter how slim the chance is, it is still possible for us to win the league.

Plus, even if we did rest players against Leicester, that still doesn't guarantee us beating Liverpool.

You can't pick and choose which matches you win and lose (or draw).

Yeah, bit surprised at Pogue here. I mean it would be five minutes of laughter, maybe some Schadenfreude over the summer, and then so what?

Make City fecking earn it at least.

I want us to win with our second-string team, the second-string team being the important factor.

I want to win but if we don't, not a biggie. And Liverpool are out of the CL, so whatever.

Deepthroating information to Howard Nurse.
It’s one of them that when I see the likes of Amad etc playing I’ll be wanting them to do well and thus to win as much as ever but won’t be too upset if we lose afterwards. There’s no way at the time I can actively be rooting against our players. I’ll be a lot calmer watching the game than normal though that’s for sure.

I want us to win every game, going into the final on a high, and going into next season on a high. We've lost the fewest games of everyone in the Premier league this season, let's keep it that way. Forget about the top 4 race, Leicester and West Ham will throw it all away anyway.

Up until City lost, I wanted to play the youth against Leicester to feck over Liverpool, but City lost, and we're Man Utd, we play until the 98th minute.

I'd like us to win, but I understand if we don't especially as I'm not expecting us to field a very strong XI.

As far as helping Pool is concerned, that shouldn't be our concern anyways

I always want Utd to win but we shouldn't risk any player that is showing signs of fatigue or injury - the priority is 2nd place but a great opportunity to stop Liverpool getting top 4 and so we must have a strong team out against the scousers.

3 points for 2nd place so plenty of chances to rest players but it's also important to keep players in form.

If we lose on Tuesday it's not damaging for us but it is for Liverpool

I want us to win of course. If Liverpool smeak in top 4 so be it, we just need to focus on our games (with a weakened team mind).
