Man Utd (Home) Build Up

[PTP]

i'm in durham saturday for eng vs aus T20 - so will be waking up hungover to death and trying to find a pub to watch it in

manure have looked depressingly good since the debacle of pre-season. But there are some silver linings:

1. Though not truly a one man team (Welbeck, Rooney, Valencia are all dangerous), they are still reliant on Persie's goals at times
2. The teams they have played have been shocking, did the manure effect make them ****? Wigan, Swansea (Ashley Williams, WTF?) and now Chelsea (no striker and no Mata, a terrible line up)

[dww]

I think anyone expecting Moyes to make United easy to beat was dreaming. The issue for me has always been how many close games become wins rather than draws. I don't think it will be anywhere near the rate that Fergusson achieved.

Both United and Chelsea from this glimpses I've seen and the stuff I have read/heard seem to be trying to start fast and hard before easing off into a false press. I think the key to playing them will be to resist the early onslaught and then have faith in our passing game.

hope rooneys not there by the time. as long as we can keep rvp in check, pretty confident we will win this.

[Fosterbloke]

Think we'll do well to beat them. they look effective and well drilled

We've beaten Everton before so we'll be ok.

[Fosterbloke]

Yeah, Manchester United pet name for him - before he signed of course. And what Arsenal fans sang to him at the start of last season. I'd slag them both off for hypocrisy but this forum turned on Suarez quick enough so that in itself would be hypocritical

I think we're above that to be honest.

Andre Marriner has been appointed referee for Liverpool v Manchester United on 1/9/13

[Muddled]

Damnit.

A step up from Martin Atkinson, granted, but it will be another opportunity he'll take to show off his tan to the nation.

[dizzycat]

First big test and by the end we'll have a good idea of where we're at. Looking forward to it and it's great that the team are going into the game with points in the bag already. I just hope that they make the individual error that will probably decide the game.

[Chris]

They are ****ing **** and their manager is a gutless fraud. Let's destroy these cunts.*

*Unless the referee decides who's winning the game before kick off like Halsey did last season.

[TheElephantMan]

Hopefully referees will start giving other teams a chance now that bacon face has gone.

[DKdan]

Unless the referee decides who's winning the game before kick off.

As long as he decides its us, I dont really care.

[BigChief]

Well that's decided then, Skrtel back in with Agger (God help us). At least Enrique and Lucas are properly rested and Hendo suddenly has mountains of confidence. The three of them and a fired up Gerrard have a lot of running around and crunching tackles to do on Sunday.

I see an xmas tree formation coming up: 4321 with Aspas, Coutinho and Sturridge to do all the magic for the team. The rest will be permanently defending.

[Fosterbloke]

I think Skrtel will play well. He'll want to show the manager he's worthy of a starting place.
