Views on the upcoming Monday game Ed001?

{Ed001's Note - tough one, Liverpool are at home and have mostly been playing well. Their struggles have mostly come against teams that press high and keep them under pressure all the way back to the keeper and force a mistake. That requires high intensity and high energy, I am not sure that would suit a team with Zlatan in it, as he just doesn't have the pace or inclination to chase round and help put pressure on the defence. So I can see Jose looking to defend deep and look to quick counters, with Zlatan holding the ball up and looking to play in pace behind the fullbacks, where there is always space in Liverpool's system. I also expect him to have worked extremely hard on set plays, as they are a major defensive weakness of Liverpool's. For Liverpool it is just more of the same, carry on as you where before the international break.}

I don't feel we will live with Liverpool's intensity and pressing, I do fear for us in this game. I hope we have learned from the City game however. 1-0 smash and grab would do me again though. How do you rate your title chances Ed? Second favourites I believe.

{Ed001's Note - game by game for me mate, that is the way to think about it. I hate giving predictions as I am superstitious. This season will change a lot as it goes on anyway, as teams adapt to their new managers etc. Could even be a busy January window for a change which could totally change things.}

i think we can cope with their intensity and pressing if we keep rooney and felliani off the pitch for as long as possible and keep smalling from touching the ball with his feet unless it is a last ditch clearance, which i think is difficult given his tendencies to treat every ball at his feet as a last ditch clearance.

Though i really hope jose does not drop mata for carrick in hopes of being defensive, as much as i like carrick he looks hopeless when people close him down quickly and add to it his lack of any match practice.

Guys its United/ Liverpool, form, and preconcieved ideas about quality go out the window. This game could end anything from 5-0 either way through to 5-5 or any combination inbetween.

This game depends so much on the emotion and feeling within both the dressingrooms and the stands on the day.

Just try and relax and hopefully enjoy it. Like Mourinho has said regardless of the result on Monday no ones season will be over.

CSM, don't you think carrick for mata to start with pogba and herrara? Then mata on depending in how the score/ team performance is?

no mate, carrick has played no games until now, this is the worst game to put him in, liverpool will press the bejesus out of him and everytime someone puts a man on carrick he is nullified and has a tendency to cough up the ball then.

If mourinho wants to 3 in middle i hope it is schneiderlin in for mata with pogba taking mata's position while spyder goes into a more defensive pogba role.
