Fernandes is playing. The only thing I am comforting myself with
A lot of our popular players are held in high regards despite being poor in lot of games but scoring some indivual goals every now and then. Do different set of rules apply to different players?No, it won't. Scoring 3 in one game and being terrible in 10 games before hardly mean proving something. Except that everyone can get lucky.
1 home PL win over them in 9 years mate, the time before 2015 was that Rooney overhead kick. Madness. Away record is so much better.Havent won at home since 2015?
LVG, we need youuuu
My best guess is that James is played to counter press as quickly as possible with a lot of intensity, but we have to hope that this results in us getting the ball back for Martial and Bruno... AWB and Shaw too (I have a feeling Shaw will be the one going up when attacking).Back to the 3-5-2 which I like but playing James purely for his pace on the counter isn't appealing as he's been so poor for a while now and lacks the goal threat of Greenwood or the link of Mata with Bruno.

I hope we Adesanya this gameWill take a scrappy 1-0 today. To hell with the performance.
Maybe he was sold. *Tinfoilhatengage*Not this season. There was a leaker last season but they've stopped.
Such a terrible record. Our performances at home in these fixtures have been tumescent mostly, and that's being kind.1 home PL win over them in 9 years mate. Away record is so much better.
Once at home in the league since February 2011:Havent won at home since 2015?

So we’re hoping for City to barely move for the first half?I hope we Adesanya this game
Your original post was that AWB cannot play as a wing-back, when he infact utilised this role often for Palace. Zaha himself had a free role in the team, and he's actually been more positive of late in his attacks for us.No he wasn't constantly threatening on the flank. They ran through the left with van Aanholt and Zaha. He has of course some output, like any fullback in the modern game. He can put in the odd cross and showed that against Chelsea.
But he, Shaw and Maguire in current form have shown that they can be trusted in a back 4. Williams hasn't played well at all in a back 5, looks lost. It's unnecessary and plays to City's strengths.
That's terrible. Almost wish that I hadn't looked at that now before the game.Once at home in the league since February 2011:
10/11: Man United 2-1 Man City (Nani, Rooney)
11/12: Man United 1-6 Man City (Fletcher)
12/13: Man United 1-2 Man City (O.G)
13/14: Man United 0-3 Man City
14/15: Man United 4-2 Man City (Young, Fellaini, Mata, Smalling)
15/16: Man United 0-0 Man City
16/17: Man United 1-2 Man City (Zlatan)
17/18: Man United 1-2 Man City (Rashford)
18/19: Man United 0-2 Man City
Absolutely shocking.
I think we were unlucky in Jose’s second season, the 2-1. Rom missed some absolutely unforgivable sitters in that game & they got 2 gifts from set pieces. Other than that we’ve been outplayed every yearSuch a terrible record. Our performances at home in these fixtures have been tumescent mostly, and that's being kind.
I want to believe, but they just seem to have our number at home.
The 0-0 in 2015/2016 was a dreadful game but I remember Lingard hitting the bar with about 5 minutes to go.I think we were unlucky in Jose’s second season, the 2-1.

I think Samid has held him hostage.Maybe he was sold. *Tinfoilhatengage*
He was poor last time, thats all ican think of. Hopefully Matic has another monster of a game todayIs something wrong with Mc Tom? Terrible decision to leave him out.
5 without the ball, 3 with the ball, though. Not quite as dramatic as you claim it to be.5-3-2 again at home. James starting. Ole back to the strange decisions

He’s not as good nor as in form as Nemanja Matic maybe? He could have put 3 in there behind Bruno, but I think he prefers AWB and Williams joining the midfield than having another holding midfielder alongside Matic.Is something wrong with Mc Tom? Terrible decision to leave him out.
Or 3 - 5 -2 - depending if your cups half full or empty.5-3-2 again at home. James starting. Ole back to the strange decisions
Just back from a long injury and they don't want to risk him starting 4 games a in a row?Mctominay is made for games like these.
Why he isn't playing?
Yes, the entire rest of the squad are complete shite. We may as well play with one player on the pitch and forget the rest.Fernandes is playing. The only thing I am comforting myself with
Because Matic when playing this well is better perhaps?Mctominay is made for games like these.
Why he isn't playing?
Same, they can keep playing the Scholes header as many times as they like :-DThat promo on sky gets me pumped everytime
