It was more a dig at Bloos, tbph

I think this is the first time we will see jose go in hard and go in on an oppositions (citys )weakness's like a politician claiming expenses.

City are a dwarf sized team. Expect old school united.. alot of crosses into the box and corners and free kicks exploited.

*insert moyes fulham gif*

Front four will be . Mata rooney martial
..........ibra.........

That would leave mata/rooney on freekicks and corners and pogba fellani ibra martial bailey all tall good headerers (sp) of the ball.

Ideall mata number 10. And rashford on rw but i guess beggers cant be choosers.

not sure what rashford has to do to get in thd team.

He'll get his chance, he's 18 years old and we've got good options going forwards. There's no need to burn the lad out, if we are going to have a decent run at the cups as well as going for the league this year then there'll be plenty of minutes to go around.

I've no doubt that Mourinho will call on him on Saturday should he feel we need him. It's been a while (for obvious reasons) but now let's just have a bit of trust in our manager doing the right thing

Think a couple of big surprises Saturday. Jose is nobody's fool

Jones and rojo to start

really optimistic we could dismantle city if mourinho gets his team right and takes them on. hopefully he'll have been inspired by the way LVG's team took them apart last year

rashford likely to start but bound to be a cop out decision who he replaces unfortunately. with darmian yet to play any part there's gotta be half a chance for mensah to get some minutes as well depending on valencia travel issues...

Cheers, Garth.

Will be very cagey. Mourinho is never very adventurous in big games and I imagine the Berts would be happy with a point. Expect Lingard to play and Rooney and Martial to play pretty deep.

Be 25 and an established, seasoned pro.

First teenager ever to score in the PL under Mourinho apparently...

oh, dear. no chance we'll see timmeh fm then?


for all the talk of jo-mo's reluctance to play expansive football, we have been quite watchable so far (and wide open through the midfield). it would be a surprise if he suddenly went conservative. a pleasant surprise, if he picks a team with a pace up front. he really needs to protect the defence and a fellaini/pogba two won't do that.

city are there for the taking.
