City have every reason to be confident, but we’re a wounded animal. A draw is doable, but it’s hard to see us beating this City side.
He will probably feature as a sub. No harm in that? We want to win.Calm, waiting for the storm sadly but I’ll be angry if Pogba is anywhere near the team.
Nervous. I’d be calm if I knew a loss would get him sacked, but it won’t. I think we’ll lose but “put up a fight” and the top reds will talk about how hard we tried & how that’s a sign Ole is the man.How are we all feeling?
Haha. Pretty much the same. Though I do think Pogba will come on in the 2nd half..Calm, waiting for the storm sadly but I’ll be angry if Pogba is anywhere near the team.
Indifferent? For a game that can be our 5th win in a row and puts City 4 pts behind us?!? For a derby?A bit indiferent?
well you better cheer for the blues thanNervous. I’d be calm if I knew a loss would get him sacked, but it won’t. I think we’ll lose but “put up a fight” and the top reds will talk about how hard we tried & how that’s a sign Ole is the man.
I have no faith in him being a top manager in the making, but at the same time, I want us to win and definitely avoid a heavy humiliating defeat that would further derail our season. This team has to develop a winning mentality, regardless of Ole.Nervous. I’d be calm if I knew a loss would get him sacked, but it won’t.

Yes, i am aware of that.A win, and we're back in the top 4. Hoping this game suits Ole's counter attacking underdog style..
Hope they don't line up without a striker.
I really don't like this split strikers stuff. Rashford maybe but Greenwood always seem to struggle to keep the width, and we become to easy to defend against. Fred and Scott have a big role to play: if they can control the ball, we won't have our CBs and full backs getting sucked in in the middle, and that should avoid the kind of ball Leipzig were lucky to be able to do against us.Tweet

And I’m sad to say inspires little confidence in Ole for me which I’m genuinely gutted about.Pogba against that City midfield inspires zero confidence.
He’s going to be embarrassedPogba against that City midfield inspires zero confidence.
Looks like we anticipated it, since we have Bruno AND Pogba to counter the midfield being crowded.A win, and we're back in the top 4. Hoping this game suits Ole's counter attacking underdog style..

It’s fecking pathetic. Small time club.I think Pogba starting makes the club as a whole look weak and desperate. But if we get a win, does that matter to Ole?
Just shows he doesn't rate VDB.
But less deserving considering one wants to leave and runs his mouth at every opportunity.Glad Pogba starts. Might as well utilize him whilst he's here. More deserving of a start than VdB based on their last couple of outings.
Or Diamond. not really different either way.Looks like the standard 4-2-3-1 only with Bruno as a false #9.
What does that mean? The problem isn’t just the attitude it’s the crap performances that come with it. VDB should be starting for me.Glad Pogba starts. Might as well utilize him whilst he's here. More deserving of a start than VdB based on their last couple of outings.
Citys midfield is slow and paceless. This is the exact midfield he should play well against imo.Pogba against that City midfield inspires zero confidence.
