We shouldn't make too many changes. It's a semi final against a rival with a game we can rotate everyone in straight after.They’ll make changes so will we

I don't think we'll make many changes from our last lineup. Maybe Greenwood for Pogba.They’ll make changes so will we
We'd hope not after what we did vs Basaksehir.It 1000% will be. Ole won't have one player defending the counter from corners or be nearly as naive. Plus you guys if you play your best XI are currently above Chelsea quality wise.
Not really. The past week or so was the busiest of the season.They may get their chance sooner rather than later with how rapidly the virus is spreading right now.
I'd agree with this, I think its a bigger trophy for Ole than Pep, not being disrespectful but it would be a huge monkey off his back to win something. I mean winning the FA Cup has given Arteta a pretty free pass. If Ole can get a trophy its a start, even if its only the League Cup, its the return of "We're Man United, we should be winning trophies" plus its only 180 minutes extra for the season and you've got a pretty deep squad. The priority should always be the prem but getting that first trophy is key and its within touching distance.We shouldn't make too many changes.

This video is old but gold.
I'm not particularly confident just amuses me that should we win there's a ready made excuse being floated and it was suggested that we cheated to manipulate the situation whereas it doesn't really benefit us over the season as a whole.I wouldn't be so confident in us, Ole is like kryptonite to Pep.
Chelsea’s form past 6 games has also been woeful.It’s amazing to me that even after Arsenals woeful form they’re just 3 points off Chelsea. Crazy how close the league is this season.
I'm sure our players deliberately got sick... That said it wouldn't surprise me if Mendy pulled a stupid. I worry for that Everton game actually, I'd rather have played them without James, Digne and Richarlison, good team at full strength and probably gonna be sandwiched into a tough week somewhere.I'm not particularly confident just amuses me that should we win there's a ready made excuse being floated and it was suggested that we cheated to manipulate the situation whereas it doesn't really benefit us over the season as a whole.
Just watched the goals from the game, that was mighty fine. The speed and accuracy they moved the ball with, and Gündogan's turn and shot for the goal, elegant and powerful. Beauty.That Gundogan goal reminded me of the player he was at Dortmund.
Yeah, was stunning. He was sensational at Dortmund, when Klopp was there (they really were a fantastic side to watch back then).Just watched the goals from the game, that was mighty fine.

Whoops!
Spot on. His form had been OK this season but in the last few weeks he has started playing brilliantly... looks like he has finally got over his Covid problems.That Gundogan goal reminded me of the player he was at Dortmund.
Fofana is one of the best defenders to come to premier league and have such a quick impact, he’s imperious and adapted immediately. Excellent buyNdidi is the one I’d like
Yeah but even so, Arsenal were like 15th until yesterday and couldn’t buy a win. Just surprised that 3 wins and they’re suddenly back up there again.Chelsea’s form past 6 games has also been woeful.
Plus they would have been playing twice within 48 hours and their own manager had said they'd rotate a fair bit.I'm sure our players deliberately got sick...

You're paranoid. Simply pointed out you looked fresher than Chelsea today but then again you've had a week off something which everyone else needs after a packed Christmas schedule.I'm not particularly confident just amuses me that should we win there's a ready made excuse being floated and it was suggested that we cheated to manipulate the situation whereas it doesn't really benefit us over the season as a whole.
Up where? They’re 4 points ahead of Newcastle 15th and have played a game more. I take your point though it’s tight this year and any kind of run will make the table look a lot better for anyone.Yeah but even so, Arsenal were like 15th until yesterday and couldn’t buy a win.

Up with Chelsea in the mix again. I’d have thought after the season they’d had so far they’d be cut well adrift, but they’ve put themselves back in amongst it.Up where?

Yeah while we were fresher today I don't think we'd have been much worse given how Chelsea played. Even though we were struggling for a squad only missing 3 first teamers really, Eddie, Walker and Jesus. The rest are pretty much players who'd probably be rotated in our out depending like Torres.Plus they would have been playing twice within 48 hours and their own manager had said they'd rotate a fair bit.
Oxford United were also there in the late 80’s but never at the same time as Sheffield United. I think this is the most joint with 93/94 where Newcastle, West Ham, Manchester, Leeds and Sheffield were also all in the Premier League.this is seriously random...and I don't know exactly which thread would be the most "fitting" for such a question, and at the same time I don't feel like creating a new thread for it nor do I think it merits its own thread anyway but....just out of curiosity...has there ever been as many "Uniteds" in a single season of the Premier League before (or Premiership for that matter)?
This season we've got 5 (us, West Ham, Leeds, Newcastle & Sheffield)...I've literally no idea but I'd dare say this is the (joint at worst) most Uniteds we've seen in the top flight at the same time.
I must be bored to look this up - I remember Oxford in top flight in the 80s for 2 seasons. Only 4 Uniteds then.this is seriously random...and I don't know exactly which thread would be the most "fitting" for such a question, and at the same time I don't feel like creating a new thread for it nor do I think it merits its own thread anyway but....just out of curiosity...has there ever been as many "Uniteds" in a single season of the Premier League before (or Premiership for that matter)?

Because everybody has been pretty crap. Ours or Liverpool’s current league form extrapolated over 38 games would be just over 78 points. If a team in current top 6 were to secure upwards of 83/84 points, you’d have to win at least 17 of the remaining games, which none seems to be a sure bet at the moment.Yeah but even so, Arsenal were like 15th until yesterday and couldn’t buy a win. Just surprised that 3 wins and they’re suddenly back up there again.
I don't know what Pep's put in his steroids but this is the first season City are getting the Gundogan Dortmund had. Maybe his injuries and issues are finally behind him. He's been better than KDB this term so far.That Gundogan goal reminded me of the player he was at Dortmund.
Yes, and used to plays as central AM before that.Didn't he use to play right AM/Winger for Ajax?
21st January 2020 away to Sheffield United was his last Premier League goal.

Certainly sets you up nicely for a double game cup semi week.
They look physically stronger
Have they cheated by having an extra week off
It looks like they have benefited from having the week off
If we lose 10-0 then people might stop going on about the 9-0 against Leicester!Is Vestergaard out as well? For fecks sake. 0-7 incoming.
Lucky Liverpool again and add into the mix that Southampton haven't won in 4 games scoring just once included blanks in their last 3 games.No Vestergaard at the back or McCarthy in goal for Saints tonight. This will be an absolute walk in the park for Liverpool.
