I'm really looking forward to the derby on Sunday. I think it's going to be the most interesting match in a long time.
How do people think Utd should approach the game? Go at City full throttle from the start and try to take advantage of their low confidence to create uncertainty. Or, try to play their way into the game, quiet the crowd and try to frustrate City?
My own thoughts are that Amorim should pick an energetic, physical team to go at City from the off. I think they are there for the taking and Utd should take advantage. I want to see Hojland, Fernandes, De Light, Martinez, Ugarte, Amad, Cassimero. I don't want to see Erikson, Rashford, Zirkzee, Yoro.

I'm looking forward to it too mate, but don't think either team will have high expectations. Will leave tactics to the boss but it would be great for Hojlund to have an impact. I've been critical of his ability but recently it seems we have begun to rely on him. I hope he can become a success.

What has Yoro done to deserve that.
13 Dec 2024 11:21:47
Already given up on Yoro 2 games after coming back from injury? Has looked good to me and has more energy than De Ligt imo, although I think De Ligt is quite good too.

I've nothing against Yoro, in fact I'm excited about him for the long term.
However, he's inexperienced and just coming back from a long lay off with injury. Moreover, he looks quite lightweight ATM.

I'd have yoro in no doubt at all as rcb and I'd be looking to play amad rwb and maz lwb.

biggest concern for me is the keeper.
he has made some good saves but when he's bad its attrocious tbh. Distribution is pretty poor also.

Really Ken? A 19 year old in his third game, in the derby at the emptyhad?
13 Dec 2024 12:24:13
I think we will lose even though this is as good a time to play them. We are okay/ decent on the break atm which is what has been the case for some years now but pretty poor against teams that defend well. Saving grace is city does not sit and been conceding goals against the break.
We have gone from a team that created a lot from the left hand side with not much coming from the right to the opposite. Garna and rash both been very poor imo and add dalot in there and its train wreck.
They might be going through a very bad patch but still better than us and at home. 3-1 I reckon.

Yes manc man. This season is pretty much a free swing. get as much knowledge as possible.

MDL is the only CB we have right now I'd fancy against Haaland, and even then it's only because the Viking like the rest of the City form is out of form. In fact there aren't going to be many players on show who are in a rich vein of form at present. If there's any saving grace for Utd it's that City are easily in their worst spell for quite a few years, and have a bit of their own injury list particularly at the back. Should be interesting, I wouldn't be surprised with any result between these two at the moment.

Agree spenno it could be a nil all bore draw or a goal fest.
For me this season is all about the manager gaining knowledge about the players and about the league.
Of course winning and good performances count but imo this session we will either win or learn.

Onana is terrible and should never be in the squad. I thought he was dodgy from day one!
