How good? I haven't said how good I think he is.

He's started any time he's been fit for us before this injury, so that makes it a surprise. Pretty simple tbh. Not quite sure what you're questioning.

why it's a surprise. I'm not surprised. He technically not that good, he's a hot head and a bit of a headless chicken. Struggled against derby ffs.

We need a platform to win the game though. No good having four or five attacking players if they can just run through us.

We'll learn more about our attacking intent once we have the ball.

If we push the full backs up and get bruno martial and James high up the pitch then there's plenty we can do.

You keep telling me what YOU think of him. That's the not the point. He starts in our best, whether that's your best 11 is another matter. Which is why it's a surprise.

Jeeeeez.

Because he's full of shit. We'll go into the game against this lot, as usual, terrified of them. Even though City's defence is ripe to be got at. We'll sleepwalk into the game as usual and city will start fast as they usually do. We'll be 2-0 down at half time.

Then on 70 mins andy serkis will bring on a left back

Yes. Which is why he starts most games.

I don't mean YOUR Best 11. Ole's.

I don't think Lindelof should be first choice, but I'd be surprised if he didnt start.

What an absolute #@&%! you are. Stop typing what you hope happens and shut the £#%&! up. :£#%&!er:

Oh, and no De Bruyne for them is being underplayed.

Big miss that.

You should just go out, walk around a park or something. Football and United are not for you.

Why can’t you just discuss football without being a nob? It’s very odd.

I'm sure there will be plenty of predictable doom if we lose, but this is derby day and we're in good nick. If we can't go into games in form with a bit of confidence then when can we?

It's City. £#%&! them, £#%&! the doom... I'm well up for this! If you can't get up for this, United might not be for you.

You can see why he's gone with him.

Better than gteenwolf?
