    From the looks of it, Dalot, Smalling, Shaw, and Martial have traveled. I'd say Dalot is the least likely of those to be involved, but maybe José will throw him in?

    Predicted line-up now:

    de Gea
    Young Bailly Smalling Shaw
    Herrera Fellaini Matic
    Lingard Lukaku Rashford
    ---
    Romero; Valencia, Jones; Fred, Pogba, Mata; Martial​

    Jones might be more likely to start than Bailly, but hopefully, his blunder at Valencia keeps him out.

    So all the other people agreeing with me you ignore, just to push an agenda on me??

    You appear to follow me around quite a bit on here. Starting to get a bit worried.

    Who knows, you could be standing at the foot of my bed, with a Pig's head some night. Becoming a bit of a danger tbh. I fear for my future :(
    You are the one who posted it and tried to create something, so logically I responded to your post. If you weren't doing it relatively regularly you wouldn't feel oppressed.

    Now since I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable, I will say it once and not bother you again. For your own good, put things into context and stop getting angry for meaningless videos.

    I answered above, 3 or 4 posts above this.

    I'm not repeating myself
    I think you're overreacting somewhat. There is plenty to be angry about given the shitstorm surrounding the club at present, but a 2-minute video of 3 young lads having a laugh is not one of them.

    Like i say, i'm probably out of touch. This is obviously what people like to see from our players these days. This is what our younger players coming through are looking up to. Different times.
    I’m with you on this, this sort of stuff for me just epitomises the attitude that is glaringly wrong and obvious with us. Do all this sort of stuff if where flying high and where we should be. If not spend extra time training or learning tactics etc not funny hand shakes. This nonsense should be kept behind closed doors for me with the current situation

    Can't remember the last time I felt so negative heading into a game with Liverpool.

    To say I'm bricking it would be an understatement.

    Hope the trio of Matic, Fellaini and Lukaku will not feature together, I can take one of them but 3 that will be a long day.

    How can you take Neville seriously after his ridiculous rant over the Mourinho sacking?
    Because regardless of his rant about Mourinho, he played for us! He loves this club! He wants the best for this club!

    Also, there are people in this thread, hoping we get beaten today, so Mourinho gets sacked...How can you take this place seriously?

    You are out of touch. Two blokes in their mid twenties doing what blokes in their mid twenties do in 2018. Get over it.

    Listen to Neville and Keane at the moment.

    You'll understand where I'm coming from
    Keane and Neville were great players, but both awful managers, whose expectations of players have not changed since they themselves were young players.

    What has them being awful managers got to do with them wanting the best for United?

    I'd love to beat them just to annoy them.

    We're not winning feck all or finishing top 4 so this is just another pointless fixture in our never-ending depressing season.

    We are talking about a video, that you and others have issues with. You referenced Keane and Neville - who I both say are out of touch with younger players, and their managerial record supports that.

    Everyone wants the best for the club.

    I hold Nevile partially responsible for the fact that Jose still manages our club to this day. His outburst the night before the Newcastle game was more influential than we like to admit.

    Some United fans just don't understand the rivalry between Liverpool and United or care about it. We're all different.

    As much as losing to Liverpool scares the shit out of me, I take consolation in the fact that it might (emphasize on the might) push Jose closer to the exit. Silver lining and all that.

    Wanting us to lose, against anyone, is unacceptable and a pile of shite!

    There is no silver lining losing against them!

    It's important to remember that you have all sorts of characters in locker rooms, our youngsters depending on their own character will look up to different players. You need players that are quiet, players that are always too serious, other that are balanced and also the jokers, the players that always maintain a certain level of enthusiasm. The only thing that you want from all players is that they train at a high level on a daily basis and that they perform in games, as far as I know Pogba and Lingard are players that have been praised for their quality on the training pitch and set a high standard.

    Their videos make me cringe most of the time but it has no incidence on the quality of their daily work, I would actually worry if any of them changed during tougher times, being even tempered is a quality in a potentially stressing situation.

    I wouldn't take any consolation in losing a match, to any team.
    I want us to win every single match we play.

    What is up with fans today?

    I hate this fixture. It’s the worst one to lose and always uncomfortable, nervy viewing.

    Our record against Liverpool with Moyes, LvG and Mourinho has been better than under Ferguson so there's that.

    Okay, I'll "allow" Jones to score an OG.
    What about the assist he provided for Valencia's first goal?
    What about the goal CFC scored against us in the FA Cup Final. A penalty which Jones gave away.
    There are plenty of other mishaps from Jones, which I have not mentioned. I believe that he has other OGs to his name, which I have forgotten about.
    I also remember that every time he has a mishap, he gets injured.

    The guy is a joke.

    Anyway, back on topic.
    My bum hurts now.

    Yet it could all look so different after a heavy run of x'mas fixtures. Amazed so many are committed to defeat with half the season to go.

    Same. I wouldn’t put someone else’s money on us getting anything out of this game. We are a massive mess and have been horrible away from home recently. Can only see it going one way. If it’s bad hopefully that’ll be the end of Jose. On the other hand I’d love to see us win and somehow kickstart our season again (even though Jose’s negativity is driving me nuts) I still always want the team to do well, especially against Liverpool.

    EXACTLY!!!
    I think that our way of thinking is old school.
    Perhaps the modern fan is happy to lose some games and will come with reasons to validate this way of thinking.

    If a loss can acceleration the process of sacking Mourinho, then I don't care us losing today. Derby means nothing if you can't even enjoy your proper team play anymore.

    What's up with fans? they are suffering from despair.
