[Annihilate Now!]

Officially crisis mode if we don't beat these lot.

What mode are we in currently?!

 

[Rampant Red Rodriguez]

We will come out of our shell and batter these Championship Citeh boys of Kompany's. Burnley will bring energy and not much quality of play, and I fully expect us to batter them because we have a Cfwd now

 

[McGrathsipan]

Hire someone else - cycle continues…..

sack them too

they are obviously feck ups

 

[Artimities]

This game is the true start to our season. If we are going to do anything this year it has to start now and build off of the positives from the CL game.
Loving our new striker... kid has passion!
Injuries should hopefully start to clear themselves so we can see our true 11 play.

 

[Ayoba]

Is Amrabat back for this?

 

[Ayoba]

What mode are we in currently?!

Pre-crisis mode.

 

[Blood Mage]

What mode are we in currently?!

Still pre-crisis at the moment but close to the tipping point.

 

[Drizzle]

Is Amrabat back for this?

Back? He's never been around to start with.

 

[Drizzle]

Can see us conceding a soft early goal, inbred crowd gets hyped up, players heads go, lose 3-1.

Yet another team whose season gets back on track courtesy of MUFC.

Just came to post that we would be gangbusters until the 12th. minute when we give up a goal completely against the run of play. Then it's anybody's guess.

 

[Gordon S]

I would love it if he had the balls to swap our semi retired midfield and try some younger legs there.
Hannibal and Gore are inexperienced and have lots of things to work on, but would like to see us look forward and try something new instead.
We lose every other game with the old guard regardless so, we certainly wont lose much trying.

 

[Mike Smalling]

A must-win game under the circumstances. No excuses.

 

[Luffy]

I don't think we will lose. We might win 2-1.

 

[The White Pele]

Things could get ugly very quickly if we can’t pick up 3 points here. If we don’t concede an early goal and play with some controlled attacking intent then we should hopefully win comfortably.

 

[Ayoba]

Back? He's never been around to start with.

Is Amrabat available then

Hoping Mount will get a start, with Amrabat on the bench. Hannibal isn't ready to start games like this.

 

[Stadjer]

We have too many players who have good cameos off the bench, but are crap when they start.

Luckily we also have some consitent players like McT. Starting or coming off the bench, he will be crap.

Hopefully he will sit on the bench for 90 minutes against Burnley. Rather give his minutes to Hannibal.

 

[Hernandez - BFA]

Maybe blinded optimism, but I think we'll win 3-0/2-0 this weekend to steady the ship a bit.

They'll make mincemeat of us!

Back? He's never been around to start with.

 

[bstb3]

I just have this horrible feeling we will concede early and make it doubly tough. We'll probably still win, but where we really need a clean sheet something stupid will happen and it will go in off Dalots left nut or something, most likely involving a dodgy VAR call.

 

[Gordon S]

Hoping Mount will get a start, with Amrabat on the bench. Hannibal isn't ready to start games like this.

I really think it is time to give the youngsters a chance. These kids need games to develop. They wont just turn ready one day after 2 years of training and watching the first team lose game after game

 

[Offsideagain]

This is how it will go on Saturday night. Crowd had all day in the pub. Burnley fans will be singing abuse and their players will be well up for it thanks to ex-City man Kompany. They will press high and hard and defend with 10 back. They might even score in the first half. Second half, the fans will be knackered as will their players and United will introduce Garnacho and Hannibal to run them ragged and ,hopefully, created a hatfull of chances for Hojlund. If we get beat, turn your phone off.

 

[Greyfog]

Burnley will get battered. They like to play out from the back. Plenty turnovers to feast on.

 

[48 hours]

You won’t see Burnley try harder in any other game this season. They will play like men possessed and go back to the useless c*unts they are the following week. Mark my words.

This

Ye we are desperate for a clean sheet. That will give the defence confidence but teams will be watching us and if they’re seeing the mistakes Onana is making then they’re just gonna shoot and hope he makes more.

 

[BootsyCollins]

Onana
Dalot-Victor-Martinez-Regu
Casemiro-McT
Bruno-Eriksen-Rashford
Højlund

With Amrabat, Mount, and Varane hopefully ready for the bench.

 

[FriedClams]

This will be the only game the whole season the burnley players are 100% up for. Id wager a fair amount that their team covers the most distance, performs the most sprints and presses harder than any other game they have this season. And they'll win, simply because they want it more.

 

[Remember the geese]

Onana
Dalot-Victor-Martinez-Regu
Casemiro-McT
Bruno-Eriksen-Rashford
Højlund

With Amrabat, Mount, and Varane hopefully ready for the bench.

McTominay should not be playing. Such a poor player.

throwing youngsters in the deep end, when we're under immense pressure isn't by any means how to 'develop' youth, what a ridiculous comment.

 

[Smores]

It's how most of our successful players do end up making it. I'd argue the opposite that it's those who've had carefully managed minutes that end up disappearing. Lack of minutes damages potential its as simple as that.

You've either got the mentality to play for United or you don't it's not a gradual build up.

 

[Sandikan]

We really need to batter this lot, for every reason.

But mostly because I know an obnoxious Burnley fan who is always gloating on facebook about everything that goes against us.

 

[TheRedHearted]

Let’s teach our players to shoot for the top corner when close in the box. Eriksen woulda scored that first chance

 

[Lost bear]

We will absolutely kick the Burnley arse.

1-0 to Utd.

 

[RuudTom83]

Would be a shock to see the players angry and fight for 90 mins.

But we live in hope.

We'll see how accurate this guy is or if it was just the Wan bissaka thing he got early

 

[Parma Dewol]

Burnley (A)
Crystal Palace (H)
Brentford (H)
Sheffield United (A)
Man City (H)

What I'd give for a five-game winning streak. The league season has to start somewhere, please let this be it.

 

[tomaldinho1]

What mode are we in currently?!

Denial

 

[saik]

Burnley will get battered. They like to play out from the back. Plenty turnovers to feast on.

I agree with this. They are playing like they are still in Championship and going all out attack. In a way I like that they are trying to be fearless and attacking but it should play right into our hands.

Hopefully this time around we take that early chance that falls our way. Brighton and Bayern could have been so much different if we put away the early chances we had.

 

[Oranges038]

One of them games where you can see Burnley nabbing a 1-0 win thanks to some shitebag like Zaroury who almost never scores and will never be seen again.

But that's not going to happen.

Gonna batter this lot 4-0.

 

[Ubik]

Can't imagine Amrabat starts even if he makes the squad, has he even had a pre-season?

 

[poleglass red]

I'm kind of the mindset, start Amrabat, give him 60 mins or so then sub him. Even if he's only 70% fit his mobility alone is better than a Casemiro and Eriksen as a mid 2.In saying that I don't expect ETH will start him.
