Mancs Away

If ever there was proof of one mans ability to read a newspaper and soak up every bit of the 95% Shuyt in them........

 

 

I'm making a prediction of what I think the result will be.

 

If you don't like it, fuck off.

 

Trolling fuckwit.

Fair enough then

[Brownie]

Man Utd will have absolutely no intention of playing football against us, and will instead harass and harry us and try to get us on the break. We would be mad to play anyone but Masch and Lucas. Also, for the workrate Kuyt needs to start. We are going to Old Trafford and need to give it the upmost respect in how we approach the game.

 

We're playing Man Utd, Johnny, not fucking Blackburn!

 

Will it be physical? Of course it will, but every game in this league is physical. If anything you could argue that there will be more time and space against a team intent on playing football.

 

Everton totally bossed it against them the other week with Arteta and Osman as the central pairing, so this general attitude that Aquilani shouldn't play is just bizarre to me.

[razor]

Dens, Dogs, you two should meet up. Over a nice cup of tea.

 

On the game, as kick-off approaches, all logic leaves me. I think we'll give them a game. I think we'll beat them. If I close my eyes, I can see that final whistle, and the high fives.

Completely agree, people point to the game last season when we beat them 4-1 with the Lucas-Mascherano combo, but we were outplayed in midfield that day, only ridiculous defending from the mancs and some brilliant individual skill from Torres and Gerrard made the result that day.

 

Anyone saying anything else, thats just revisionism.

We weren't outplayed in midfield, you're going too far there. I know what you're saying though; we didn't win the game in central midfield and by selecting Aquilani tomorrow we wouldn't be losing the game in that position either.

[sir roger]

Most worrying aspect to me is the fact we have had 2 outings since their last game, and we looked out on our feet at the end of the Lille game.

 

Other than that I think we match up pretty well man for man & I also feel that Ferguson over-respects us usually & lets us get settled in games against them which suits us.

 

Hope Scholes plays as I think he is finished.

[kalasoma]

Play Agger and attack the corners. I'd like to see us get Agger in the box because he owes us a goal after all those missed headers.

[G Richards]

I can see us winning this one again. So long as we don't go there looking to snatch it, but rather approach the game with intent, we can win.

 

As for where it all gets us, unfortunately the off pitch stuff overshadows everything. I would happily take a spot outside the top four in exchange for new owners.

[Section_31]

Nailed-on win for us this.

[Guest PurpleNose]

Like most games this season, the result will probably be determined by our approach.

[Shreddy]

Today i played vs manchester united in the league and they where 3rd and i was 6th :P won 3-1 :P 1 gerrard penalty then the ryan giggs with the equaliser then torres scored and babel scored :P. lets hope it goes the same :P

[manwiththestick]

Good memories of last year; my little boy was born hours after the 4-1, good day all round. Would take a draw now if i'm honest.

[kalasoma]

Howard Webb will have a say in how this all shapes up, as I think he's reffing this match. I don't trust him to do right by us at all.

Webb isn't biased he is just incompetent no matter who he is reffing.

[RobbieOR]

I agree. But this match is at Old Trafford and no matter what the score is the referre will have a sat.

[RobbieOR]

Howard Webb is the ref, and already excuses are flying in.

 

It's true. Even moreso if we win.

[the walsh]

cant see us winning i would take a draw but if we go at them there fucking shite the key is the midfield area im going on the piss for this game and the pub will be 50/50 so lot,s of banter

[23_Carra_Gold]

Did Webb not ref the home game?

[stringvest]

What about the sending off score? I reckon it will be 2-1.

[Acid]

Did Webb not ref the home game?

 

Andre Marriner reffed the home game.

[Croque Monsieur]

I hate playing these cunts. If we win the euphoria is immense, lose and the downer is hateful.

 

I have no idea what to expect tomorrow. As many have pointed out, it depends on what Liverpool team turns up.

[Original202]

People have got so used to the negative football and holding midfielders that it's become readily accepted. We don't have to go there and try and control the game and keep it tight, we're allowed to have a go.

 

A point is no good to us, nor is a narrow defeat. Play our best team and have a go at them, that's when we play best.

[23_Carra_Gold]

United 0 Liverpool 6

[Hermes]

I'd accept a failure to win as long as we don't go there with a cowardly attempt to "control the game", playing a defensive formation with the sole aim being to avoid defeat.
