Manchester United (A) 22.09.2018

Seems to be quite a lot of expectation on us today tbh, here and social meejah. I know this is our best team for decades, and not exactly vintage Manchester United, but they're still very healthy favourites for a reason. A point would be an excellent result for us

Agree with this, think the term "free hit" has been used and I think that's appropriate.

A man u win is the likely outcome but any other result isn't going to be a surprise.

It's just wonderful going there and not fearing an absolute shellacking. Now, that could still happen, but this side goes there to compete. Not park the bus. And that is a joy.

I see on twitter that utd have banned the Ikeme banner today.

Fucking scum the lot of them, not a real fan amongst them.

Someone on the Mix has said they've allowed it now.

Someone on the Mix has said they've allowed it now.

Yeah just saw that. Shouldn't have to be shamed into it though.

 

[The Bion]

We're unchanged

Fred in for them - looks like they're going 4-3-3

De Gea, Valencia, Smalling, Lindelof, Shaw, Fellaini, Pogba, Fred, Lingard, Sanchez, Lukaku (Romero, Bailly, Young, Pereira, Mata, McTominay, Martial)

Patricio, Doherty, Bennett, Coady, Boly, Jonny, Neves, Moutinho, Costa, Jota, Jimenez (Ruddy, Hause, Vinagre, Saiss, Gibbs-White, Traore, Bonatini)

The build up on SSN is seriously blowing smoke up our arses.

They all seem to think we have a real chance today.

Abso-fucking-lutely.

Says everything you need to know about their club.

 

[Norman Deeley]

Neves vs. Pogba

Come on, Ruben. This is your stage

 

[MARKakaJIM]

SAF being there will generate a better atmosphere. Whether that makes a difference I'm not sure

He's looking well.

 

[Deleted Cyber]

Really looking forward to this. This is what we wanted to be part of. Huge test today.come on!

 

[Tredman]

Embarrassing - a 72k crowd and all you can hear is Nuno had a dream.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Pogba caught on the ball for the first time, good closing by Jimenez and Jota but the latter wastes it with a really sloppy pass inside.

 

[wanderer89]

Good save De Gea.

 

[Dolph06]

They've got Lukaku right on top of Coady. We've gotta stop leaving our leg out when a player goes past. That being said, I feel we have a danger about us!

 

[Paul]

Charlie Nicholas is impressed with us, how times have changed

 

[Lichens]

Good strike by Jiminez. Seems like we’ve had lots of chances like that this year and not got a shot off.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Tidy effort from Jimenez that De Gea saves with his feet. Costa skipped past Shaw and Jimenez manages to get it under control as the cross is just behind him, couple of touches and manages to spin to get the shot off but not far enough away from De Gea to do the business.

 

[Boozad]

Could have been 1-0 to us already, Raul shot straight at De Gea on the turn.

 

[Lichens]

Costa is tearing Luke Shaw to pieces
