Last 5 minutes and try and get a corner
Klavan with a clothesline from hell or sweet chin music
For much of the past 20 years, despite a few notable exceptions, we’ve gone into this game with a desperate and illogical hope rather than any genuine sense that we’re better than them. That’s changed. It says it all that their best chance comes through playing negatively. Lets hope the football gods smile on a proper team today.
I havent believed in the footballing gods since John O 'Sheas 91st minute winner at anfield
That doesn't mean the footballing gods don't exist. It just means they hate us.
Motherfucker!
This is a 12.30 kick off. I thought it was the late game.
I've got my oldest kids 9th* birthday party starting at 1pm.
*The first 2 games we played after he was born was the 4-1 vs United with the Dossena chip and then vs Real Madrid. At least those are good omens.

We'll win well
It's not going to be too difficult to forecast United's defence / Midfield since their options are limited (assuming it's true Martial and Pogba are both out), up front depends on how Mourinho sets them up but I'm assuming 2 defensive minded midfielders so can he afford to play Sanchez there (as he has for every match so far) ? If not then he moves him to LW which isn't good since he's been playing shite at AM and LW cutting in he's far more dangerous but if he sticks to his guns them it's possible he'll push Lingard out there who can play similarly.
............................. De Gea
Valencia ...... Bailly ........ Smalling ..........Young (he could play Lindelof here if he gets very defensive, Shaw will miss out)
.......... McTominay ........... Matic
........................... Sanchez
Mata ................... Lukaku ..............Lingard
Rashford isn't as defensive as Mata so I think he'll bring him on after HT if they are behind or last 20 mins if trying to win it.

Fuck me if we don't bear that United team then we don't deserve 2nd.
Hope Big Virge scores.

Team line up confirmed?
No Klopp was doing a BBC radio interview and said too much. No Pogba either.
ehhhhhhhhh
Bailly is in for them, which makes them a bit stronger at the back. Would've preferred Lindelof to play.
You are the guy with his finger on the pulse.
I'm the guy in queue in the post office.
OK as I suggested above bar Rashford for Lingard, not sure whether that means he's moved Sanchez out there or Rashford.
Lindelof has been very good for a few games recently. Bailly missing match fitness could even that out.
Surprised Hendo is left out. Still just about our physically strongest midfield though. It's massive that Pogba and Martial are both out though. Pogba might not be on form but he's great at keeping possession once he has it. That has to benefit us in terms of turnovers.
Their bench is weak as fuck bar Lingard + (Romero, Carrick, Lindelof, Fellaini, Shaw, Darmian). And very very defensive !

Mourinho just all but said he's going to play for a draw in that interview.
