We know the issue is the distance between our high press 'effort' and our deep, slow back line, so I really hope he sacks off the high press for this game.
Its embarrassing watching various shit teams waltz through a press only attempted properly by Bruno and half heartedly by Rashford anyway. Against City just sit deep and hope for a few counter attacks. What's so bad about that? Gives us a fighting chance at least. Its no wonder Garnacho, Mainoo, Bruno etc are so £#%&!ing knackered every game - they are literally running the length of the pitch every other minute as our pinball tactics play out. Sit back, conserve the energy a bit and spring with that energy as an actual purposeful counter. For that reason I'd also play The Scottish Player up front, he cant be any worse at holding it up or playing it in behind to onrushing wide players than Rashford. |

Looking forward to it like Tommy was looking forward to being made.

Yep. He prefers chaos ball with everyone running forward but the striker being starved of any service coupled with a keystone cops approach at the back. Ball retention a max of 0.15 seconds.
Tbf, we will barely have the ball on Sunday (predict 9% possession) so it might be that we won’t expose ourselves in the way we do when we’re playing giants like Newport. |

Honestly, f*&k City. I used to get two tickets for every derby Maine Rd from a woman at work. I'd take a mate and we'd sit in the Platt Lane bit, spotting every Utd fan around us and nodding to each other. Jesus, when Utd scored a third of the ground jumped up. It was insane the amount we had all over the place. All this recent shit with City has never bothered me, because deep down, we know and they know what they are.
