Manchester United vs Man City: Official Matchday Thread - 06/11/21 @ 12.30pm
[SIZE="4"]Man United - Last 5 League Games [SIZE="4"]Manchester City - Last 5 Premier League Games [SIZE="4"]Derby Classics (The Good, The Bad & The Ugly) 1: Starting the playlist from the most recent derby to remember, defeating City 2-0 in front of the last full Old Trafford crowd for a long while as the whole world went into lockdown shortly after. 2: Needing a win to secure the title at the Etihad, City went into half time leading 2-0 and practically celebrating the title. Lol. 3: Under the stewardship of Louis Van Gaal, we hosted a strong City team at Old Trafford in April 2015. Despite conceding an early goal, we went out and thoroughly battered them. 4: Thank goodness he chose Red over Blue. 5: It defies description. 6: The highs we have experienced wouldn’t be the same without the lows. And this one is one of the lowest lows ever. 7: Bunk can skip this one. Everyone else bask in the glory of broken blue hearts. 8: While in the process of overturning Newcastles lead at the top of the League, we met City at Main Road. After City equalised to make it 2-2, defender Kit Symons claims: “When we equalised for the second time, you could see the fear in United’s eyes”. Sure you could Kit, but you probably should’ve been keeping your eyes on Giggs instead mate. 9: 2-0 down to City at Maine Road. Enter two of the greatest players we have ever had. 10: We got @#%&!ted by a newly promoted City side 5-1 at Maine Road. Shite. 11: no fun - They had just got promoted back to division 1 and were overconfident...we leathered them 3 nil at Maine rd 12: Law, backheel, relegation etc etc 13: no fun - Another game in the 70s at Maine rd....can’t recall the score but George best broke glyn pardoes leg....if we lost the game a clip of the leg break will do - We did lose, but full highlights anyway. Best’s challenge is 25 seconds in, 50-50 at worst. 14: More of a bonus clip as I couldn’t find the full highlights. Roy Keane taking some revenge. [SIZE="4"]Team News: Man United: Varane out, Pogba will serve the second of his three match ban. Lindelof a possibility to be fit and has been named in Swedens squad for the upcoming internationals. Man City: Torres sidelined, Kyle Walker may possibly miss out after picking up a knock midweek and Laporte suspended after being sent off last week. [SIZE="4"]Previous Meeting: The two Manchester sides last met at what was an empty Old Trafford on the 12th December 2020. Nothing really happened. Mahrez probably should have put City in front in the first half, and we had a penalty overturned in the second half after Rashford has strayed a fraction offside in the buildup. That's about it. [SIZE="4"]Match Tit Bits As well as winning three of the last four against City in the League, we’ve also kept three consecutive clean sheets in the league against them. That’s as many clean sheets as we managed in our previous 18 games against the same opposition. Despite the impressive clean sheet run we are on against City, we have also conceded at least once in each of our last 13 home games in all competitions. Only twice in our history have we gone longer without a clean sheet at home. (21 games between April 1958 - March 1959, and 14 games between September 1954 - February 1955). Man City have won seven league away games against Man United in the Premier League era, the joint most of any team. The other team that have managed to secure 7 Premier League wins at Old Trafford against us is Liverpool. We’ve lost seven home matches in all competitions during 2021 so far, the most since 2001 when we also lost 7 games in total. We haven’t lost eight in a single year since 1989. [SIZE="4"]Match Prediction:
I think if we go into the game trying to get another clean sheet against them, we’re going to lose 1-4. If we just throw caution to the wind and try to outscore them I think we’ll win 3-1. |

Given recent results in the PL derbies,I think we're due to get battered by them. In addition we're crap. Berts at work have been more obnoxious than ever this week, as if the Palace game hadn't happened.
A very heavy loss would not surprise me. Yet another poor performance will infuriate me. I'm not going, excuse being a family thing I'm going to this afternoon. 0-5 |

The other option is is 4231. The big flaw with us is that we just half press high up the pitch. Don’t think the tactic would matter too much wrt the gaps if they just play compact . Even a team of AWB Bailey maguire shaw The Scottish Player. Fred Sancho. Bruno. Rashford Ronaldo Would work , just don’t press high and stay compact . |
