United Build Up

[tufty]

caught the 2009 OT match on lfctv last night when we battered them 1-4

just hope todays ref has the bottle the ref had that day, but won't hold my breath


and I'm sure I saw FT smile

The last time I was working on a Sunday, we won 4-1.

I am working today. (Oh, and , obv)

However, that Sunday I managed to escape to the pub to watch it - today I'm not going to be able to get away and am trying to work out whether I say away from the t'interweb and watch it when I get home around 4ish - or let curiousity get the better of me and rely on Est's finest to talk me through the game.

Est's finest.

Match threads are usually pretty funny to read if you can keep a sense of proportion. Even if we're winning somebody will be getting angry about something.

same here mate, in work til 4, probably catch the arse v citeh game on way home

it suits me in honesty, always hate watching us play Manure and even worse listening to it on the radio

its one of those games were I prefer to squint and then peek through my fingers at the result

if its a good one, I'll look forward to watching it, if its a bad one I'll not bother

I.E. Someone going apoplectic because Rodgers brings on that scumbag Carragher for a few minutes

I think you should avoid Est and watch the game when you get home Mudds.

No good can come from reading a million "Yeeees", "Nooooooo" and "**** Webb" posts.

Just want the game over with tbh. Hate this one.

[Fredo]

I've got a hangover and will watch the match with three mancunians. My wife, sister and brother in law. Outnumbered

Exactly.

[Shaggy]

A few journos tweeting the same team as was posted last night. Looks like that's the XI.

[PTP]

Not surprised Sturridge isn't starting....at least tho, him on the bench gives us a decent option to bring on

Like everyone else (surprising really) I would prefer Henderson to Allen

Lucas and Allen don't seem to work well and we get overrun and in midfield, hendersons engine in there will be missed

[Shaggy]

A cliche but if we can stay in the game until about the hour mark, and get Sturridge on plus Henderson for his energy, I'd quite fancy us.

[Leyton388]

I'm not a fan of Allen IMO and think with him in rather than Henderson our midfield will get overrun.

was just saying same to my mate & i reckon that could be the plan. United always seem to come on strong in the second half... be nice to have that bit of energy to counter that.

[danperkins]

Curious to know the United side?

[frank the tank]

Keep the ball and their big pitch might suit our 'ticky-tapa'!!!

Bacon face will send them out pumped up looking for an early goal (like Rafa used to for us) - if we can dictate the pace for the first 20 mins, then it's Liver-lona time!!
