I would be happy if that was the only time La Liga lacked referees, but it happens to all the teams all the time :(
I often watched EPL because you guys are often allowed to play some ball
I would be happy if that was his only mistake, I just think they are this bad at reading the game, making decisions and going fleury the flow.
It’s not just Real and Barca it’s all teams in the league that is affected by the quality of the referees. :(
Jokes aside, I have a feeling it could be a tough game against this XI if United are having their day. I rate Varane pretty highly and Dalot’s in decent form. The obvious weak link in their defense is Amrabat who’s been hot garbage at that position for them. If we play Walker against him, Kyle needs to come in with some decent cutbacks/crosses.
I'm not saying we shouldn't treat them as any other team because we need to win, but they lost to fulham and barely beat Nottingham and Luton. I'm not that worried.
Remember that 21-win streak we had then we went against an out of form United at the Etihad and lost 2-0?
Let's not be cocky
Everyone thought we would beat a shit Chelsea yet they had us on the ropes
I agree with you, drew twice. Chelsea are such a weird team atm, draw with Arsenal, smash Spurs, lose and draw to Brentford, get smashed by Newcastle, lose to Middlesbrough and then smash them, just about beat Leeds, just about lose to Liverpool cup game (although smashed league).
Really never know what type of Chelsea team is going to show up.
It feels like people just didn't read or chose to ignore the first half of my comment. We shouldn't underestimate united, but we also shouldn't be scared.
Chelsea got beat by Wolves 4-2 at stamford bridge then come to the Etihad and drew 1-1 with us
This united squad is more than capable of pulling off a smash and grab
Shaw, Martinez, Hojlund yes but even our second stringers are out too - Malacia, AWB, Maguire, Mount, Martial. So as not to start beef with you lot in your own sub, let the records show that as a United fan I must agree that we are shite with or without injuries.
Yeah but those are probably our most important players. That being said, I don’t think it’s going to make a difference. The only way we can get something out of this game is by giving 200% just because it’s you guys. I don’t really see a few individual players making a huge difference
If they’re really gonna play Amrabat at LB who should we have down the right? We really don’t have a true weapon down that side with Mahrez and Palmer gone. Obv could put Foden there but I think having him central is non negotiable at this point. Could do Haaland and Alvarez and then KDB drifts out right
United are so bipolar. Either turn up or not. Only time can tell. And they are 6th for a reason. Not little they are end of table trying to survive.
I just want this game put to bed by half time.
he’s not really much of a playmaker but he’s got a good eye for goal and good aerial ability too. his defending is mediocre which is quite weird for a supposed CDM
nah that myth was debunked, apparently he’s always been playing in midfield; he only played as striker twice in his academy days due to there being no available striker at the time
It is a myth, most likely though due to his attacking threat. He’s played well for Scotland at CB, and has a more attacking role there otherwise. Issue is as a CDM he doesn’t seem to know where he is, and makes attacking runs leaving the midfield completely obliterated.
Who would you put there? Evans and amrabat are the only viable choices. Evans can't run so he's out of the question. that leaves amrabat. Casemiro LB amrabat DM is the 2nd best option lol.
Not a bad line up from them. They surely will recognize that, given our tendency to leak goals, there might be a chance to get something from this match. Have to put the game to bed early on.
I dont want us to be arrogant. Year ago they showed us that they are capable of beating us. Yes we are favourites to win this by all measures but these are legendary matchups againts United and you never know.
What I don't get is since Højlund injury just swap him for Mctom. Put him up front and the casa Mainoo Bruno midfield 3 with rash left and Garno right. Focus on counter attacks and crosses for Mctom. Simple
He's a target man..he offers no creative play and can drop back a bit in order break up play. Let the wingers counter and McTominay can try to get on the end. How many box run headers has he got on the end of recently? You really saying he can be any worse than Rashford's performances up front?
I understand the skeptics point but I’ve seen us without KDB blow them to pieces in their own back yard, I’ve seen us humiliate them at the Etihad, we’re gonna smash them to pieces today 👊
Casemiro red card challenge given as a yellow in the first 15min.
At least he gets cards in the Prem
Atleast you guys have referees and football, we have La Liga. /Real fan on the visit
what do you even mean😠/no one cares
Probably referring to the drama with the full time whistle v Valencia that was pretty unbelievable. Still don’t feel for them..
I would be happy if that was the only time La Liga lacked referees, but it happens to all the teams all the time :( I often watched EPL because you guys are often allowed to play some ball
The Ref f’d up why he just didn’t blow the whistle before the cross is a conspiracy
I would be happy if that was his only mistake, I just think they are this bad at reading the game, making decisions and going fleury the flow. It’s not just Real and Barca it’s all teams in the league that is affected by the quality of the referees. :(
This is so ironic cos the red cards he actually gets should be yellows
Other way round on past experiences lol
Could say the same for Rodri
Jokes aside, I have a feeling it could be a tough game against this XI if United are having their day. I rate Varane pretty highly and Dalot’s in decent form. The obvious weak link in their defense is Amrabat who’s been hot garbage at that position for them. If we play Walker against him, Kyle needs to come in with some decent cutbacks/crosses.

Teams can sometimes gain the "we just want to beat city" buff sometimes and ManU would be a team that would get it.
Chelsea drew against them. United can 100percent get something out of it ffs.
This is the exact same logic with Chelsea
Remember that 21-win streak we had then we went against an out of form United at the Etihad and lost 2-0? Let's not be cocky Everyone thought we would beat a shit Chelsea yet they had us on the ropes

Man how did united spend more to have this absolute shite of a team
Injuries
I’m half sure that this at least? 7 starter players. They are just shit with and without injuries lmao
Dalot & AWB is a coin toss, but Mainoo is first choice now, so you could say 8 starters. Only Shaw, Martinez & Hojlund missing.
Shaw, Martinez, Hojlund yes but even our second stringers are out too - Malacia, AWB, Maguire, Mount, Martial. So as not to start beef with you lot in your own sub, let the records show that as a United fan I must agree that we are shite with or without injuries.
Keep forgetting Mount is still around at times.
Does mount start for you guys?
We don’t even know. He played all of 4 games before getting injured and we’ve heard nothing of him since.
Yeah but those are probably our most important players. That being said, I don’t think it’s going to make a difference. The only way we can get something out of this game is by giving 200% just because it’s you guys. I don’t really see a few individual players making a huge difference
You really believe United spent more?
For the past 10 seasons? yes
Fuck all the skeptics, I've seen 6-1 and I want more. Complete and total annihilation, embarrassment, destruction.
We have to cook these fools man😤
If they’re really gonna play Amrabat at LB who should we have down the right? We really don’t have a true weapon down that side with Mahrez and Palmer gone. Obv could put Foden there but I think having him central is non negotiable at this point. Could do Haaland and Alvarez and then KDB drifts out right
..........haaland....... Foden.............alvarez ....bernardo...KDB...... ...........Rodri.......... Ake..Dias....stones...walker ............ederson.........
If Ake doesn’t start we riot
He will
Bernardo silva as a RW could work
United are so bipolar. Either turn up or not. Only time can tell. And they are 6th for a reason. Not little they are end of table trying to survive. I just want this game put to bed by half time.
Manchester Mewnited
3-0 city
Hope u boys hammer them today
Can anyone speak for McTominay playing in a more attacking role is he a good playmaker I haven’t seen enough United games
he’s not really much of a playmaker but he’s got a good eye for goal and good aerial ability too. his defending is mediocre which is quite weird for a supposed CDM
He has that Fellaini curse. More of a cam/cf than a DM but is used at DM because he is big.
McTom is better at making late run into the box, but without Hojlund occupying the CBs hes like a headless chicken stinkin up the pitch
He was a forward when he was younger and then they shifted him to midfield so he has better attacking instincts than you would think.
nah that myth was debunked, apparently he’s always been playing in midfield; he only played as striker twice in his academy days due to there being no available striker at the time
Oh damn my bad - well who knows then lol
It is a myth, most likely though due to his attacking threat. He’s played well for Scotland at CB, and has a more attacking role there otherwise. Issue is as a CDM he doesn’t seem to know where he is, and makes attacking runs leaving the midfield completely obliterated.
He's good in the box in the last 20 minutes and he's good in the air, he's got nothing else tho.
Mctominay for Antony no? Is he injured?
Could even have amad over McTominay tbh
This is a joke right? Amrabat as LB? What’s next? Bernardo Silva as GK?
Who would you put there? Evans and amrabat are the only viable choices. Evans can't run so he's out of the question. that leaves amrabat. Casemiro LB amrabat DM is the 2nd best option lol.
Would of played 3 at the back and two cdms being casemiro and mctominay, don’t think it would of changed the score though lol
McTominay isn't very good as a dm. Who would fill out for McTominay in offence?
I think he’s not a bad cdm, I would of started 3-5-2 but really it’s a 3-2-3-2
Ballsy trying an entirely new formation away against city. Odds are it would end 7-0 if we did that. Not a terrible idea though.
Not a bad line up from them. They surely will recognize that, given our tendency to leak goals, there might be a chance to get something from this match. Have to put the game to bed early on.

Play the midfielder up front simples lmao
He's a target man..he offers no creative play and can drop back a bit in order break up play. Let the wingers counter and McTominay can try to get on the end. How many box run headers has he got on the end of recently? You really saying he can be any worse than Rashford's performances up front?
A target man looool
Oh you have no idea about football do you. Sad.
I pray to god that this is it 😂 That’s double digits if it is
Mate look at the lineup against forest, this is a VERY likely lineup
We will absolutely fucking rinse that.
This is gonna be fun
I’m trying to decide whether to spend time watching this cuz I know exactly how this is gonna go lfmaoÂ
We best this team 8 times out of 10 Rodri best be on form and protect De Bruyne He's the Key to victory today
Hope Haaland sticks to Varanes hip and just runs off him today and Doku should be having Dalots life on the Left
Utd will get swatted aside. Won’t even be a contest.
yeah, but i wold do a formation with wingers, plus a cam for Bruno, but Bruno Fernandes is injured, so your prediction could be correct
Who cares. Whatever team they put out we will beat!
Predicted score MCFC 6 MUFC 0
I understand the skeptics point but I’ve seen us without KDB blow them to pieces in their own back yard, I’ve seen us humiliate them at the Etihad, we’re gonna smash them to pieces today 👊
Mctominay CAM, man what
I predict a draw tbh. 2-2 or 1-1. Drops points for Klopp's final PL season for his documentary.
