Chickasaw 28 Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 I think Utd's winning run might come to an end but 6-0? Doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil 1,179 Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Sit back and the counter attack... We've done it before and we can do it again. Rashford, Bruno, Sancho and Anthony will need to be on the top of their game and you catch them in behind. Just gotta keep the superhuman striker quiet.

Its one of those games where you just have to admit you are playing a better team away and if they play at their best they will probably win.

That's why I said we've got to keep their superhuman striker quiet. They conceded goals though, this isn't a forgone conclusion like some people think it is. Im the first to admit, they turn up, they beat us well, id be a fool to suggest otherwise. 5 hours ago, Happy Blue said: Isn't Rashford out? looks like he's in good form at the moment He was injured for international duty yeah, not sure if he's still injured. He's a big player for us if we play counter attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan 18,362 Posted October 2, 2022 Author Administrator Share Posted October 2, 2022 @Happy Blue How come Dias isn't starting? And no Rodri? That could be pivotal with Man Utd probably looking to always break on the counter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Blue 1,897 Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Rodrigo and Dias out, that's a blow. Gundogan our holding player today instead. the teams the same as i predicted above but with Grealish starting now so the positions change a bit, Bernardo drops to mf, Foden moves the the right with Grealish on the left Ederson Walker - Akanji - Ake - Cancelo De Bruyne - Gundogan - Bernardo Foden - Haaland - Grealish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzy0zz 5 Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 I really want to watch this game but I can't because of work and stuff...I basically have 9 hrs from kick off till my shift starts..so, it is what it is. I will be asleep during it. Start Ronaldo. This is a big time game and he is a big time player, one who is hungry to prove himself again? Even if he fails, now we know better.... answers are better than questions and this would have provided so many answers. Rashford scores like 2 in a month and we forget all of last season? This is Man City... running blindly into defenses might work against some of the less experienced teams...but you are facing world class defenders here with an all time coach...you can't just turn the corner here and rely on the element of surprise. He will be picked off so many times it will look ridiculous.. Maybe they are saving Ronaldo for later in the season...but honestly does Utd even have that luxury...? We've won 3 games..there is no long term plan here...we have to win now and we have to play big game players. Ronaldo on the bench is inexcusable. Throw the kitchen sink at them and by the sink, I mean a hungry Ronaldo. But.. Haaland.KDB.Pep. I mean, who is our best player again? If you think Man City will be listless infront of goal where we can just sit back and hope they don't take their chances..City are a bear that's been poked. They will be clinical in front of goal. So honestly we need to try to win the possession game here. We are not winning with 35% possession...this is not that type of game..Man City deal with the counter attack every single game. Pep will have them beyond prepared so City will not beat themselves this game. City will bury most of their chances this game.. So I don't even see a chance for Utd if I'm being honest. And I'm trying to...but the only ace we had up our sleeves was a Ronaldo masterclass..but, we rather start Rashford instead. All right, maybe I will wake up and be wrong lol but this is not looking good at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan 18,362 Posted October 2, 2022 Author Administrator Share Posted October 2, 2022 @Ozzy0zz you have absolutely no idea about football and how Man Utd want to play if you think Ronaldo should still be the main man. They've clearly found a way to play without him in the side, and have succeeded with it so far. Actively pressing higher up the pitch, getting more people involved in attacks. Not everything can be centred around Ronaldo any more. Rashford has played better and been more influential than Ronaldo this season. Rashford - 3 goals/2 assists in 6 PL games. Ronaldo - nothing.

Reluctant Striker 134 Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 I'm still never sure what to make of this match these days. In the past, I mostly felt a bit sad for City to be so far in United's shadow. These days it's like Clash of the Titans, only 1 sides ex Dortmund superstar is off to a better start than the other. Antony, Rashford & Sancho looks an all round better forward line than Haaland & them 2. But Haaland obviously miles beyond anything anyone else has. Even PSG. Any result seems possible. City favourites. But maybe not 6-1 level favourites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Rashford score even 10 goals last season? Ronaldo was our top scorer last season. He missed training camp and has ridden the bench this season, so of course there will be less...you can't score if you're not on the pitch.. . Yes he may be out of form a bit. But this is Cristiano Ronaldo. And this a hungry Cristiano. He's earned the benefit of the doubt. In a big game, you play big game players. I don't think he should be the main man overall. But today? Ronaldo magic might just have given us the win today.. We'll see... I guess I will watch the first half lol...going to be dead tired in the morning though haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has come on as a sub a few times, but maybe Ten Hag has found a way to play with players that are currently better in the right system, which doesn't suit Ronaldo. To me, that's fair enough as the club can't just revolve around one player, no matter what his past glories have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
