Popular Post MCFC Posted 9 August 2018 Popular Post Share Posted 9 August 2018 Good luck for tomorrow, I have a feeling you can turn them over. Hopefully Kelechi has a good game and bags a couple. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The unrest in their ranks is growing. And amongst their fans. They are keeping a very low profile in Manchester at the moment. I hope Kelechi scores. he should have settled in now, and hopefully he will get more game time this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reynard Posted 9 August 2018 Share Posted 9 August 2018 I'm not reading too much into all this Jose's lost the team stuff. There is no real evidence for this and he was like this last season too and they did pretty well. Whatever team they put out will be more than decent. Their attack is far better than our defence and I'm still not sure we have enough creative ability in the team to be able to break them down. I'd be ecstatic with a point but suspect it will be similar to last season. Our record there is absolutely terrible. Haven't we only won 6 times at Old Trafford in the league in our entire history, or something like that. I'd be surprised if we set up anything other than an ultra defensive 4-5-1 with whoever plays up front pretty isolated for much of the match. Our full backs won't be able to get forward much as the space left behind will just be exploited by the pace of their front players. They do have a few injuries and maybe one or two of their world cup players won't feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jattdogg Posted 10 August 2018 Share Posted 10 August 2018 Not an easy game. Never know what united will show up but first games of the seasons have their own surprises too. Hope we win and that Puel tw@ts jose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Barry Hammond Posted 10 August 2018 Share Posted 10 August 2018 Paddy Power currently offering 50-1 for Harry Maguire first / last goalscorer. Imagine a few might be tempted with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d prefer Diabate not to be starting and think Vardy fitness may be a bit of a smokescreen tbh. I actually think I’ll go mental though if peireira is playing on the wing with Amartey in the RB role. We have enough players now for round pegs in round holes. I do wonder if Puel will take advantage of the unknown element and give Ghezzal a debut 10 mins but it may be too bigger stage away from home at Old Trafford.

FoxFossil Posted 10 August 2018 Share Posted 10 August 2018 Tough day ahead lads. New players not yet ready. Man Utd with a boring 3-0 win after we concede a goal in first 5 minutes, Evans and Wes exposed for lack of pace. It rains. End of summer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Guvnor Posted 10 August 2018 Share Posted 10 August 2018 Jose is looking even more of a miserable twat than usual, his defensive line up have all had the perfect pre match motivational prep by being told indirectly that they are all sh#t. Lets bang 3 or 4 past them to confirm his fears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian_marshall Posted 10 August 2018 Share Posted 10 August 2018 I think an early goal for us tonight could turn the atmosphere inside the ground toxic very quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rn9013 Posted 10 August 2018 Share Posted 10 August 2018 Something tells me we can get something tonight. Whatever happens though I'm excited to have the football season back, I already can't wait to get home from work to watch some Premier League football!

I just want to see us get in their faces from the word go. As above, this team, but with Nacho to start and Vardy on the bench. Harry presumably will be a bit ahead in terms of match fitness than Vardy seeing he played so much more over the world cup. Sounds like there is some optimism that Evans might start, but even then might benefit more from having a familiar partnership at the back for the first match back and against such tough opposition. I think it would be pushing it to get a win today, but would love Big H to get another last gasp equaliser against them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
