Manchester United 0:2 Manchester City

James35 · Nov 2, 2021

With Oles luck we'll probably win this through a Kevin De bruyne own goal after Ederson is sent off and Gundogan pulls his hamstring.

Watford though that will be a real test.

The only positive is that it’s a Saturday 12:30 kick off after City have played Wednesday night. Hopefully they aren’t at it.

That just means our weekend gets fecked up real early.

Cloud7 · Nov 2, 2021

We’ll spend much of the game behind and Ronaldo will pull the late savior act again.

Siiiiiuuuuuuu

Ronaldo's ego · Nov 2, 2021

Another 0-5 humiliation changes nothing for Ole’s future, might as well ride the luck wave and hope for a smash and grab.

ShinjiNinja26 · Nov 2, 2021

Brace yourselves for another hiding. As soon as we lost Varane we went to shite, I can see City cutting through us at will, this could get very ugly.

charlenefan · Nov 2, 2021

We're gonna get absolutely smashed

SirAnderson · Nov 2, 2021

Having a blackout on the day as I have a function when the match is on. Hopefully I can avoid all media and notifications and watch it few hours later.
That said, may be a blessings to not watch the pain live.

SirAnderson · Nov 2, 2021

Varane missing is a huge huge blow. We had a chance of scraping a draw or at least not losing as bad as we did against Liverpool, but now, I fear it will be just as bad if not worse.

Pogba is suspended anyway.

I'm a little relieved to hear that. It's starting to seem like he's a complete liability in half of our games.

GregM40 · Nov 2, 2021

Worried about who's available in defence for this one, going to take a lot of concentration. Can't see us being able to go 3 at the back either with the injuries, and I think that would have been a decent shout.

bosnian_red · Nov 2, 2021

Theyll probably hammer us and it'll be good riddance to Ole. So not all bad. Win win I guess. Either we win and you have temporary joy from winning a manchester derby or we lose and you expect Ole gets sacked.

RedPed · Nov 2, 2021

Of course Maguire will enter the pitch riding on a camel followed by 30 handservants on Saturday. I would rather play Jones any day of the week. £80m ffs!

always_hoping · Nov 2, 2021

Man City and Pep especially will really be looking forward to this Derby against such a error prone group of United players who will likely be without its best defender in Varane.

Will be shock result if City don't win by at least a two goal margin.

cyberman · Nov 2, 2021

City moving the ball slowly and having no striker could really save us on Saturday

Ali Dia · Nov 2, 2021

If we play like tonight it’ll be 2-5

We need to stop playing players who won’t press. We aren’t making enough grounder penetrating at all just recycling the ball across across across and backwards

We won’t play like tonight though. We will give them the ball and counter with Rashford and Ronaldo up and be direct as feck.

Fooza · Nov 2, 2021

RepardReece · Nov 2, 2021

Not too sure if I want to watch this game :nervous:

Changes needed for this, drop Maguire if one of Lindelof/Varane is available.

After Pogba's performance, thank god hes not available, play VDB instead.

Would be nice to see Sancho finally start a game ahead of Rashford if we don't play 5-3-2

What? Sancho had three month to make his claim with Rashford being injrued but failed to have a single goal contribution. Rashford has had 5 appearances so far and already scored three goals.

Rashford was bad today I agree though.

Can't disagree, Rashford has played well, but If he plays like he did tonight, then he can jog on.

I agree he doesn't deserve to start this game after todays performance. There was just too little determination from him.

VidaRed · Nov 2, 2021

We'll smash them 10 nil and ole will get pep sacked.

Zaphod2319 · Nov 2, 2021

Didn’t City just lose to Palace?

peridigm · Nov 2, 2021

With Lindelof and Varane injured we won't be playing 3 at the back unless Ole decides to resurrect Phil Jones.
If we play the same way we did tonight they will punish us as bad as Liverpool.

tomaldinho1 · Nov 2, 2021

Already on the verge of soiling myself

Blood Mage · Nov 2, 2021

Another hammering incoming and still Ole will cling on somehow.

Yep this should be what he goes for, we're clearly now incapable of playing a back 4 so fill it with as many players as we can and hope they don't find any spaces

BorisManUtd · Nov 2, 2021

Think it's time Pep beats Ole in PL after a long time. Just hope it's not a humiliation as big as Liverpool. 3-0 City would be enough for Ole to get the sack. Though he won't as they don't have replacement for him :lol:

Team picks itself as someone already said, hopefully 5 at the back and 2 defensive midfielders make us harder to break.

the_cliff · Nov 2, 2021

Well looking at the stats the last time we kept a clean sheet at home in the league was in March. The last time we kept a clean sheet at home in all competitions was against Granada 2 weeks later in April.

Not expecting a clean sheet then I guess.

Another interesting stat is the last time we went 2-0 up in a game (prior to Spurs) is that 7 March game against City.

If Ole is going with a back 5 which I suspect he will, its not too much to ask him to play VDB in place of McTominay is it?

Oh who am I kidding.

MyOnlySolskjaer · Nov 2, 2021

Just don't get battered.

Devil may care · Nov 2, 2021

All the talk is of Ole getting sacked but Pep should get the boot if City fail to win this game. I'm guessing Lindelof not travelling was a precaution and I'm sure McFred will be restored. Cavani and Ronaldo in tandem is a must.

The only way that it's not Fred and McTominay on Saturday is if one of them gets injured.

Yeah the team literally picks itself although gutted about Varane’s injury.
