Pilko Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 As sure as death and taxes, whatever the result, we'll be done by some bent, dodgy call from one of the matchday officials. Can't wait for that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altamullan Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 FFS. How many times do statements like this come back to bite players on the arse? Just do your talking on the pitch, don't give the opposition fuel for their fire/additional motivation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Urgh. Just why. Those Man Utd players are where they are because of the hunger and desire they've shown since they were young kids to be great footballers. Steven Tayloresque sound bites, there.

Away Day Gadgie Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Alternate XI but i think Rafa might use a similar system. Dubravka Lascelles. Lejuene. Clark Yedlin. Diame. Merino. Kenedy Murphy. Atsu Slimani Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Dummett will play. Probably in Clark's place in that setup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 And thus, Jamaal Lascelles turn from hero to absolute zero on NO, was sealed. Not really. It's just stupid and unnecessary. 'Ugly and nasty' ffs. If there was any chance of Man Utd maybe not being at 100% with bigger games to come, that little snippet is all the motivation they need.

Yeah thinking about it Dummett is more likely to play as it gives us more flexibility to switch to 4-4-2 if we need to. Definitely think i’d prefer Atsu to Perez though, his pace along with the likes of Murphy, Kenedy and Yedlin could be good for us i reckon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nexumaster Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Alternate XI but i think Rafa might use a similar system. Dubravka Lascelles. Lejuene. Clark Yedlin. Diame. Merino. Kenedy Murphy. Atsu Slimani Merino and Diame are most important in that formation for me. We have a serious problem keeping the ball long enough further up the field. I like this formation but it means they have to be on top form both defensively and in keeping the ball to pick out the right pass. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 It's probably not a wise thing to say before a match like. Still, it's always better to read honest answers than the usual media-trained pointlessness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 No idea why I feel optimistic about this game. Just got a nagging sense we might get something. Quite a few people saying this, no idea why. Logically they should beat us fairly easily. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughesy Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Think it's just that, out of the top sides, I feel we are best suited to cope with Man Utd's style of play. I can easily see us being torn apart by a Liverpool, Spurs, Man City style team, in a way that I can't see Man Utd doing (while being fully aware that they handed us one of our heaviest defeats this season already). Even in the reverse fixture, I actually thought we played ok and gave them a few problems. And I also watched a Slimani goals compilation. That was enough for wild optimism.

Paully Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I'm always optimistic about us but I was just looking at their expected team and the front six was Matic, Pogba, Martial, Lingard, Sanchez, Lukaku! Quite a few quid spent there! 6-0 Slimani double hat-trick! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
