I have no such fears! We'll beat them by at least two clear goals. 2 nil or 3-1
I suspect it'll be quite tepid, actually. A draw for both sides won't do much harm.
We have got to win tonight to shut the scousers up, like we did at Old Trafford this season against Arsenal
I can't help but think we'll get beaten, and beaten well. Really hope we don't though.
Can't wait to get there, hope the atmospheres buzzing! Come on United!
Have a horrible feeling Moyes will go all defensive with Welbeck and Valencia on the wings, Mata behind Rooney and Jones in midfield. Really, play our best XI and go at them, they are not that good at the back.
I also strongly hope Clattenburg has an extra eye on Skrtel today, the man gets away with an awful lot at set-pieces, a pen isn't out of question IMO if the ref gets his shit together and isn't afraid to give big decisions.

If as people are saying that liverpool are most dangerous on the counter attack then we need to drop and defend from deep to nullify that. However most people wont like that idea.
We have to win. I know it's gone but I have to believe we can get forth place. I can't stop believing.
It does for us, we have to win. We win and you lose to Spurs and we're eight points off two sides in the race for fourth with nine games to play, anyone who thinks that gap is definitely insurmountable hasn't paid much attention to what can happen in football when pressure is applied. A draw and it's definitely over, a win and we still have a slim chance.
We win and we're 4 points off chelsea with a game in hand and them still to come to Anfield.
A draw for both sides won't do much harm for Arsenal, but that's about it.
It depends on whether United see the CL as a bigger chance to save the season.
United still have to go to Everton and have City at home. The recovery required really needs 4 from 6 there minimum.
It's hard whatever happens today.

You fannies better win this.
We will, not to worry.
Well there's the kiss of death.
Harharhar, Barney is a fanny.
There's a tavern in the town
IN THE TOWN
And we're gonna burn in down
BURN IT DOWN
SMASH THEM!!!

A must win.
Or play fast defenders. Like Jones/Smalling/Rafael.
When was the last time we absolutely battered a rival?
These games often ignore league form.

It'll be cool!
Whatever happens today, lets hope the post-match debate doesn't centre around Mark Clattenburg.
Suarez has been too well behaved recently. I reckon he might give Fellaini a good tug on that Afro.
3-1
RvP (x2), Rooney, Sturridge

I fear our line-up. Please Moyes just keep it the way it was.
He should say it's black candy floss and hope Suarez is hungry.
Please win today and shut Liverpool up, getting a little too mouthy for my liking.
3-0, van Persie hat trick.

If you lose it inevitably will. Regardless of whether he has anything to do.
I think it's inevitable we won't see Januzaj and Mata together in this game, though how I'd love to see them. We'll likely see Young or Valencia in one of the wide positions as they offer more defensively, something David Moyes seems to value in the bigger games. I don't think that approach will get us much in this game and would love to see us put our best attacking team out there. Their defence is their weakness, why not have a go and exploit it? If we sit back we run the risk of getting broken down eventually as they are useful with possession and we know all about their front-line.
Hes been better this season imo. Not as bad a ref as some would have you believe...
Anyone else been nervous /on edge for the whole week because of this match? At first I was dreading it but the closer it gets the more excited i get. I just hope it's an open game with both teams going for it rather than a cagey affair. I'd much rather a 3-3 than a 0-0 draw.
Even though I think we'll get beaten comfortably, I still wouldn't be content with a draw. Anything less than a win would probably leave our top 4 hopes in tatters, if they aren't already.
By the way, what are all hoping the result will be in the North London Derby?
Yeah. It doesn't help that we've had 10 days off.
A draw wouldn't be horrible, we'd still be in the title race with that. A win and we'd be right in the thick of it.

They often don't, they seem to follow the form book certainly in recent years. The only thing that changes is the intensity which'll go up a good few notches, the last time we battered a rival has been too long but I wouldn't expect that today. This isn't me being negative because I do think we can and will win but I reckon it'll be more in the fashion of a smash and grab rather than us being the better side for the 90 mins.
Spurs win surely? That is if you lot have top 4 aspirations left (I don't think it'll happen).
Immaterial to us tbh.
