The old nerves are kicking in already, will it be a mata masterclass, a Rooney smash and grab or a steamrollering by the scouse. Early days I know but what confidence it would give a victory at anfield closing up on the top and with Jose going back to the bridge next week. Hoping Pogs and zlatan find there A game. Shaw for Blind as we will need pace I feel at the back, I said I was concerned by the Liverpool tempo but our back 4 is very pacey and strong, as ever, it's that DM position I worry about, Herrera has been doing well but would carrick co posture be better suited to these next 2 league games?

I think everyone is making liverpool out to be better than they are.
They only just beat swansea last game.
They are weak at the back and have a dodgy keeper now they are good going forward.
Id put matial on one side and rashford on the other and run at them and they won't cope with that if we defend well.
We will win 2-0.

I could see Carrick holding playmaker with Pogba and Herrera allowed to engage further forward, kind of 4141, working well. I don't think Jose will change his game plan though.
These big games get won by the odd moment. Let's hope one of our many game changers has a big moment at the right time.

Welsh. I don't think Shaw is a good defender. Never rated him. I'll stick with Blind who has played very well in this position.
Leahy, scousers beat arsenal and Chelsea away. Drew with Spurs away and arguably should have won. Who have we played? Apart from City, no one. And even then we've struggled.
I'm amazed by how blinkered people can be.
I hope we turn up and play well and win but please let's not kid ourselves, scousers are playing extremely well and a draw will be a good result.

No mate a win would be a better result, i don't care who they beat we should win this match.
Milner has done well in a few games at left back, now there for me is a weak link straight away and i don't care what he has done in the last few games. put rashford up against him to run at him only one winner there even miki if he was fit.
Its a tight pitch there mata at number 10 with pogba getting forward and zlatan holding up the ball when needed and we should do better at set pieces than them. our defence isn't all that bad either we have pace and power back there and behind them the best keeper in the league.
3 points for me, united.

Schmid good post fella. I'm worried naturally more so that everyone expecting us to beat you lot comfortably. I hope we smash you lot double bubble because we can't stand Jose too. But I think right now the result is up in the air specially with a manc ref 😡.

Haha leahy matip will have zlat in his pocket who will Jose blame if we beat you? There has to be a fall guy you know that don't you.
