I've no doubt in attack we'll be great and they won't deal, BUT our defence won't deal with hem either if we set up wrong.
Well score, but I don't want to risk them scoring more
It always is one of those games, look who has scored winners for them in the past 5 yrs, Ferdinand, O Shea, etc
Henderson to score the winner!
Andre Wisdom with a scorcher! You heard it here first.
That or the fact that he is on sabbatical from South Yorkshire's "finest".
I just want to wind up plastic Mancs in a pub. Shouldnt be too hard down here.
Ha now that would be a turn up - seriously though someone needs to have a word with Lucas and Allen not to give away stoopid free kicks within 40yds of the goal, imho this is where we are going to be especially vulnerable against them along with corners.
Hopefully Allen won't be on the pitch
You know, I've always wondered whether that has anything to do with the way our games with him in charge tend to go.
Not that I'm saying he is overly biased or not, but as it says near the end, you need to look at the incidents in the games and look as to whether they are fair or not, that's what would tell you if it's bias or not.
Massive game this, they always are against the scum. If we lose which is the most likely outcome if we're honest, i just hope we go down fighting.
Too many times we've went there and put in weak, shitty performances and not to mention individual mistakes and indiscipline costing us dearly.

Can't remember too many of those against the scum, to be fair. Mistakes, yes.
Just off the top of my head:
Last season, 2-1 defeat. Thought were awful and should have been beaten by more than 1 goal.
2008: 3-0 defeat, outplayed and again, could have conceded more.
2006: 2-0 defeat, another game at Old Trafford where we fell to pieces.
Then there's 2003 when we lost 4-0. Hyypia sent off early on.
Of course we've had a few great days at Old Trafford, the 4-1 in 2009 being the highlight but as i say, too many times over the years we've put in inept performances and hopefully there's not another one on Sunday.
I didn't say that they didn't exist! I just meant that we usually play really well against United.
You seemed to be quesioning my comment so i thought i needed to back it up 😀
Wouldn't say we usually play really well against United at Old Trafford tbh. At Anfield, yes. In fact i cant remember the last time they outplayed us at Anfield even when they've beat us.
Yep, even when we're in shit form we raise our game when the scum come to Anfield. The 2-0 in 2009 for instance.
Just hope we get at them this weekend and dont roll over.
Deleted. Transferred to Birthday thread ( along with the likes)
Cheers, but you could at least put it in the right thread!
Allen closes down and harries more than any other midfielder we have.
Nah its going to be 'Sturridge has arrived' game smashing in 2 set up by Suarez!
Not to mention the Murphy shows or the 3-2 defeat where we came back from the dead. Generally bar the 3-0 ribbing we've always competed. The 4-0 1 is unfair as we lost our best defender and a peno in the first few minutes.
Fair enough, the 2003 game we were a man down most of the game but the 2-1 defeat last season and 2-0 in 2006 we were shite mate, remember the games well.
ya the 2-0 was the worst but 2 games out of what the last 10-15 years? Not bad.
Utd havent turned up at Anfield over and over and have gotten lucky to nick a point more than once.
Only in our half though. We need to pressure as soon as the get the ball. We can't give them time to pick a pass because they WILL hurt us.
Shamelessly nicked. Love it.
