Man Utd (H) - Sun 5th Mar 2023 (4:30pm)

[No2]

Been supporting the reds since 1988, in all that time both teams have both been good at the same time just once. I think 08/09 is the only 1st/2nd finish in all that time.

 

I look at both of these teams now and neither are great but in terms or becoming great we are a lot closer. I do think we will win 2 nil again and finish 15 points ahead of them next season.

Love that optimism. 

The biggest threat to that is the shallow pockets of FSG. Being the pessimist I am I fear another 'sell to buy' pre season,and now our saleable on pitch assets are pretty minimal in comparison to the past. 

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Horrible shower of cunts need slapping back down.

 

Just get these beat, Reds.

I mentioned in another thread that I turned down a couple of corporate tickets for this as I couldn't bear being around business clients if we were to lose and I'm not sure I'd act in a professional manner if we won.

 

I'd gotten quite used to not being worried about these games, now I'm dreading it, hate these horrible twats.

 

Small game beaut.

Haha, more like no game beaut.

 

I'm quite happy not going to games these days, the last game I went to was the Napoli 1-0 game on the way to our CL win.

[Tenfolder]

I'm hugely pessimistic about this one for the firs time in ages given our shitness and their run of form but for the love of god I hope we get these dickheads beat, once again just opened the BBC sports page to the now 3 or 4 daily articles wanking them off including a whole article today highlighting Klopp talking Rashford/United up in his presser(and it being tagged 'Liverpool' related).

It’s when we’re losing that my behaviour has been quite unacceptable over the years. I’ve fallen out with many people during these games as my nerves are shot to fuck, combined with the heart break and commentary wank fest that often accompanies those defeats. I’m much calmer these days. Haven’t verbally abused any strangers for ages.

[bossy]

Despite playing less than attractive football they have been ruthless up front. I don’t care how we stop them scoring, just stop them scoring and we can score and win. Easy. Come on Red Men.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Leave no space behind Trent, too easy for them, sit and hit.

[Dave D]

The only way we get the better of Fernandes and Casemerio is for Fabinho to find top form. Although I can see them trying to get him booked early with lots of imaginary card waving from the rat face one especially       

[Section_31]

Form or no form we should be beating this shite,  they've still got hardly any first XI players I'd take. Unforgivable if we don't at least show up and give them a game. The fucking cunts. 

[andyj]

I've got a bad feeling about this

It is amazing how the two biggest and most successful clubs in the land have never really gone head to head much down the years in terms of being at best at same time.

 

70's was no different really.

And we've only drawn each other in Europe that one time.

Hopefully we can ram this comment do the little weirdos gullet until he chokes vomit on it…

 

[Bobby Hundreds]

He's proper smelling himself Mr charisma isn't he.

[Scott_M]

I don’t necessarily get the “their style doesn’t suit us”.
 

Is that based on Rashford getting in behind Trent or something else? 
 

If Ibou, Trent & Hendo can limit the balls to Rashford (I can’t see him playing centre forward), that closes down their threat massively.

 

As he to every game at the moment, Nunez is key. Although I think I’d rather see him at #9, I think he can get joy from whoever they play at right back.

 

Defend well and we have a great chance to win this.

Quite possibly the least charismatic coach of recent years.

 

In a few years, we’ll be calling him the same names we use to describe Passive Egg-ressive Pep. 
 

Which given he learnt from King Bald Sissy Weirdo at Bayern, is no surprise. 

[Aventus]

I dont have any beef with ten bag personally other than managing them cunts, he's pretty inoffensive. 

 

Might change my mind tomorrow though.

I can handle defeats at Old Trafford to an extent (we've become so accustomed to them) but the home defeats have seen me do some bad shit over the years. Getting barred from pubs, not turning up to my bird's 21st birthday party and storming out of places & going to my bed for three days with the curtains shut amongst them.

 

I'm hoping I've grown up a bit since then, having kids & stuff helps.

 

I'm praying we can do them on Sunday though, the alternative doesn't bear thinking about.

For me it is about them being well organised and counter attacking with pace.

[Mook]

A lot of teams have styles which don't suit us at the moment.

 

If we show a bit of fight & grit to win the battles then we're half way there, this has been missing in our performances far too much since August.

[Bobby Hundreds]

I expected fight and grit the last time we played them, really thought at the time these fuckers will at least get us to show more fight and we put in the most lethargic uncaring performance we possibly could it was horrible because its like we weren't arsed, we just fell to our knees and accepted being outfought. I think the Everton game around the same time was similar too.

 

It's so hard to expect us to at least scrap because this season has shown us we mostly won't. We play at our best and they play at their best we beat them easily but 100 percent we won't be anywhere near our best so it's a case of grinding it out, I think that makes them favourites.

I don't think we lack grit and fight a such - it is more we aren't physically capable of winning the fights often enough or sustaining it as fight wears on.

 

To use a boxing analogy we can't get our punches off enough and we get hit often as too slow to block or slip.

 

All down to a lack of mobility, physicality, legs, engines etc in crucial battles.

 

The intention is there, the mind is mostly willing but the legs etc just can't do what want to/used to.
