Ted Maul Posted 26 August 2017 Share Posted 26 August 2017 Tomorrow will probably result in a loss. However, Pep's Man City looked unbeatable at the start of last year, and on our day we'll give anyone a game. Not getting my hopes up, but it's not a lost cause.

Our great club certainly has come a hell of a long way in the last 5 years, but now hoping we can keep our squad together and add some more quality to the squad in defence and midfield places and with Iborra and iheanacho on the verge of full fitness this would surely benefit us in the coming season ? But who knows where we could finish next May is anyone else getting the same feeling as the title winning season not saying we're going to win the league again but certainly a possibility of a Champions if not europa league spot ?? But holding back the euphoria I'm thinking a 3-3 draw for this one but I'd take a cheeky one niller over Manure any day !! This mean we are going to park the plane instead of the bus? Brilliant thinking by Shaky. Mourinho will go ballistic that we've outthought him tactically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to an incredibly favorable schedule (same with their Europa League last season).They won't meet any serious competition until they travel to Liverpool on... Oct 14th!

Aidan Posted 26 August 2017 Share Posted 26 August 2017 5 hours ago, Kitchandro said: I disagree, Their squad hasn't changed that much since last season when they were a very underwhelming 6th. It's going to take a bit more than battering 2 hopeless teams to convince me they're title challengers. Lukaku is a great signing though, that will make a difference. But they are not a great side. I still think we'll get beaten easily tomorrow mind you, we can't defend for shit and have big players missing. Spot on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is written in the cobalt blue ink of a child's chemistry set. At your last sentence. I'm a believer. I'm intersted to see how much Shakespeare lies about Morgan being involved. If Morgan starts and has a good game we're in with a chance. But I don't fancy a makeshift defence against Lukaku. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callabinho Posted 26 August 2017 Share Posted 26 August 2017 Set plays will ultimately let us down...title winning season we feared no one, since last seasons stumbles I think we've developed a soft underbelly again....As many have said United still aren't a great side...the fact they were beaten comfortably by a Real Madrid side that had only resumed training two weeks prior to the game shows that... We will roll over for them though, Arsenal just proved we're so open when we attack....a CB is a must before the window closes, above all else.

Prior to last season wes and lukaku had excellent physical battles where wes came out on top. Last season was different and I expect lukaku realised that where he comes across a 'big ugly fu*ker' he needs to adjust his game rather than get involved in a fight with them. jose will have reminded him of this and I'm not keen on the meeting later today. We know lukaku has great pace and we know harry doesn't and wes won't be quick off the mark after his back problems. Jose will have it sussed I'm afraid. I hope we have tactics to nullify that issue.

Today is the day that Leicester show the Prem they are title contenders again. Surely it's the opposite - if he is involved we are not close to selling him its very easy to give him another game off pre break without making it look odd with him having trained so little.

foxes21 Posted 26 August 2017 Share Posted 26 August 2017 Don't think we should sit back for this one. Swansea had 10 men behind the ball, but were still cut open. We should press them high, force them to go long so we can win second balls/knock downs and counter. Is Drinkwater back? Him and Ndidi assisting Okazaki/Vardy in the press would be ideal.

Callabinho Posted 26 August 2017 Share Posted 26 August 2017 The key thing to do is stop Mkhitaryan everything flows through him, snap him early doors and you're quids in...Pogba just ****s about for 90 minutes producing the odd decent ball.

lgfualol Posted 26 August 2017 Share Posted 26 August 2017 No idea what the game plan today will be. Our defence isn't good enough to sit back and Shakespeare wont change the formation. Lukaku will probably destroy Wes today. Simpson and Fuchs stand off players too much and their wingers will be able to put in dangerous crosses for Lukaku the whole match. If we get an early goal from a set piece or something I could see us getting something. I just hope we don't end up leaving Vardy isolated and having 1 shot on goal in the whole game.

adamkhalifa Posted 26 August 2017 Share Posted 26 August 2017 4-5-1 for me. Need some height and physical presence. If Ibora was fit I would have bought him in for Okazaki. Make do with King instead or Dinky if OK to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a plus Jose says he knows how we play. I seem to remember LVG saying similar just before we spanked them.

RODNEY FERNIO Posted 26 August 2017 Share Posted 26 August 2017 I was there when we beat them and Tony Cottee scored the only goal of the game .That was when Beckham, Scholes and Giggs were in their prime ... so it's not an impossible task.
