Man Utd (H) - Tue 19th Apr 2022 (8:00pm)

[Carvalho Diablo]

Dreading this one, it should be a piece of piss against an absolute shower of shit but this game has "minefield" written all over it.

 

Keep it tight, take our chances, no injuries, no stupid red cards, just ruthless efficiency.

[bossy]

Yes. Just get it done. 

[Section_31]

One for Ronaldo and hatrick for Sallah.

[TheDrowningMan]

Not to be taken lightly, since they only need a point to effectively finish off our title hopes. With that said, football has changed and this is a particularly gutless United team, so we’d have to let ourselves down badly to let them get a result.

[bizzle10]

These are shite got beat by Everton ffs so expect a nervy 2-1 win

[redinblack]

As Al Davis said, Just Win Baby

[LFC 6 Times]

4-0 to us Mane and Salah with respective braces.

[Fowlers God]

Grit. Intensity. Verve. Electricity. Intelligence. Tactical nous. Gumption. Ingenuity. Gall. Gravitas. Skill. Effervescence. Heart.
 

 

This is 13 players though and what formation?

[Carvalho Diablo]

 

[JohnnyH]

Just need a draw to confirm top 4. Realistic goals from here on in.

Keep it tight, take our chances, no injuries, no stupid red cards, just ruthless efficiency., fear, surprise, and an almost fanatical devotion to the Klopp.

They wont expect…

He’ll be at his next victim (in a footballing sense, that is) by then.

[halewood pete]

Really hope we annihilate these bastards 

[Anubis]

Brown Jenkin has been involved in a RTA, but no serious injuries reported.

He's been involved in a car crash all season to be fair.

[Naz17]

Think we'll go Jota, Firmino, Salah up top like at Old Trafford

Out of rep.

 

[Reckoner]

Need to be careful. Ronaldo can be ruthless at exploiting weakness, he reacts aggressively to just a hint of encouragement so let’s not show any vulnerability in our defence. He needs to be told no means no from the start.

Welcome back. Haven't seen you around these parts in a while.

He doesn't take any notice of this (allegedly).

[lebron]

With Mctominay and Fred  out, they might just stumble upon finding out that Matic is still their best defensive midfielder. I'm guessing his fitness/age is becoming a problem, but the few times I've watched them over the last months, he's the only one making them look structurally sound as well as camouflaging the shortcomings of the trainwreck that is Maguire back there.

 

If it wasn't for their vanity project up top, I think they actually would be best served by going like this (think Cavani, Bailly, Shaw and Varane are out/injured too?), if they wanted to salvage a result. I still think they would've suffered defeat, but trying to keep it tight and having four midfielders capable of holding onto the ball, winning free-kicks and keeping us honest with the occasional long balls for Elanga and Rashford to chase. 

 

----------------------de Gea-------------------

Wan-Bissaka----Lindelof--Maguire--Telles

---------------------Matic---------------------

-------Pogba----Fernandes-----Mata----

-------Elanga--------------------Rashford------

 

No doubt Ronaldo will start after his hat-trick against the mighty Norwich though, so Mata probably makes way, and they isolate Ronaldo up top instead. I love it!

[YorkshireRed]

As a match goer I used to love these games. The edge around them, the atmosphere, the drama, even the real or perceived danger to body and soul. They were exciting and I could fully play my part. 
 

These days, I dread them. Too blinking stressful, accompanied by crappy commentary and punditry. 
 

This game will not be easy. Having said that…

 

Smash ‘em Reds.
