Man Utd. (a) build up

[Fredo]

My only worry is that United can click at any time, albeit for 1 game. Mata worries me and it's important that we don't allow him space in that little pocket in front of our defence. But he's likely to be playing on the right.

I'm actually not worried what Utd does, we've seen several times this season, it's what we do that matters. I hope we keep up our good run of form and smash them. We turn up and play well and there's nothing that united's current team can do to stop us.

[TheElephantMan]

We are better than United and as long as the ref doesn't spoil the game then we should beat them. I just hope that Clattenberg has a good game.

I can understand that, the being negative pregame. Its a self defence mechanism after years of being ****ed over. I used to wind my utd supporting mates up bad before our games when I was younger, used to be right in their faces, telling how **** they were and a bunch of cheating cunts, only thing is nearly every time without exception I was left with egg on my face. It hurts. The continual disappointment. This is why this game feels so important, it really could be a changing of the guard.

This is exactly spot on. I never really did the winding up of opposing fans but Im more of a 'not tempting fate' person. I cant make brash predictions or statements before any game, even if we are playing the bottom team in the league

This is a huge opportunity for us but we could have done without the changing of the guard stuff. Just play the game and make statements after. But Rodgers sees the players everyday so maybe he knows he has to ramp up the pressure.

One thing I know is that we definitely deserve to finish in the top 4 this season

[Fredo]

The changing of the guard stuff comes from journos. Rodgers didn't say it.

[TheElephantMan]

Although I'm sure United will be really up for this game today they can still overturn the two goal deficit against Olympiakos on Wednesday and surely that will affect their approach to today's game? Fourth place seems to be beyond them now, they won't particularly want to play in the Europa so the current CL campaign is all that's left for them.

This.

[Fredo]

I'm going for a run to shake off the nerves.

How's the weather up there?

[Shaggy]

Slightly overcast, about 10 degrees, still, no rain.

[Rigadon]

This is what I want to see at the end of today's game...

[TheElephantMan]

I feel like I'm going on holiday. Can't wait to enjoy the sunshine, but absolutely dreading the flight.

[Fosterbloke]

I'm so ****ing up for this game. We'll win. Man Utd's grip over the league will die. Moyes is a cunt and a fraud. Phil Jones can go **** an ape.

[Zapater]

Not likking some of the quotes/interviews that have come out from us pre game. Just adds extra pressure. Think we have created an expectancy on ourselves and its not going to be an easy game at all

Some of them have been completely unnecessary. Doesn't sit well with me, a little bit concerning tbh.

[Shaggy]

What quotes?
