The Derby - build up thread.

We were very unlucky away to Spurs and Arsenal. Think we'll do ok the game raising bastards.

Would actually start Rashford and Bruno as well:

Onana

Dalot Varane Maguire Reguilon

Casemiro .......Amrabat
Bruno

Mount Hojlund Gashford

There’s not much chance we’ll win so we actually will.

Should rename the other thread buildup to the buildup…

Still think the same. Can get any worse (can it?)

We’ll smash em

Has a whiff of the Liverpool 5-0 about it. Yet another head in hands moment incoming I’m afraid. Buckle up

As posted in the Derby build up thread 1.


Winning this. Ugly or not.... It's three points for Manchester United

Apologies I’d forgotten about the other thread merge away

Started to be drawn towards the positive vibes I was getting off here - you never know, we often play well when you least expect it, playing on the break will suit us and the infamous, ‘we’re winning this’.

Woke up this am with massive wtf was I thinking vibes.

Basically, we’re getting smashed lads….

Got to say it’s unlikely. Then again , traditionally they’re probably more at home in the company of these lot…

Wolves
Forest
Burnley
Brentford
Sheff United

2-0 United. Lap of honour, pitch invasions, the £#%&!ing lot

Weirdly I think we’re way more likely to win then get gubbed.

Still calling it 0-0 though.

I'm always going to go into games thinking we'll do something special. Even been trying to convince myself the reason we looked so lethargic on Tuesday was because we're holding back for the derby.

If we look as off the pace as we did midweek though it's going to be a horror show. As long as we run ourselves into the ground fighting then I'm happy whatever the result tbh.

2-1 to United

or 0-4

No middle ground

RasMus to win in the battle of the Vikings with a brace to get off the mark.
United 2-1

This.

If we get off to a poor start it could get very ugly.

Can see no reason to be hopeful here.

Maybe we'll huff and puff a bit early on - make a few chances but not take them. Then they'll score through a bit of quality or a series of mistakes by us. They'll very quickly score a second and we'll ride out the rest of the game in comfort, trying to keep the score down rather than actually win the game.

i don't want to think about it.

It's going to absolutely grim as £#%&!.

That goal by Gundogan was an absolute killer in the final. If we see that again we're £#%&!ed

agreed, we went properly toe-to-toe with them for the first eleven seconds.
