It's amazing how every hard test we come up against gets redefined as "not that hard" a test after we pass it.

Yeah, sort of shows how well we are playing that they are not looking as hard tests at all.

I cannot wait for this game.

That doesn't sound good. Feck, I wish We could continue the trend...

I hate this game. So much pressure. And now stake is huge

 

[tenpoless]

I'd start Mata over Lukaku/Sanchez. He usually plays well vs Liverpool.

The hardest part is picking one of Lukaku or Sanchez. They're both shite.

 

[JJ12]

Just win baby win

 

[Andycoleno9]

If we don't have Martial then i woukd go with 4312 again but with Alexis in attack.

Shouldn't be for us. Liverpool have to win, we just can't lose for the sake of pride.

Yes. Perfect scenario for us actually. Zero pressure and going into the game with good form. Martial and Lingard are also expected to be back in time.

 

[AgentP]

Really hope our home fans are up for this one. They can't match our hardcore away fans but atleast this is one game where even casual fans can get themselves pumped up and create a good atmosphere.

If Old Trafford isn't up for this one then there's no hope for us. As long as Liverpool don't score early it will be difficult for them. If Klopp is any good, he'll set them up to frustrate the home fans. Then they'll have a chance of nicking something.

Actually him and Dean are probably the best refs in the league. Say's a lot about the quality of our league but it could be worse.

Relax. City and Liverpool are -painful to relate- a level above us in squad strength and play (over the last few seasons). And yet we have a puncher's chance. OT will be rocking and we'll be going for their throat. Enjoy...

Michael Oliver has given Liverpool 7 penalties in his last 9 games he has been a referee in a Liverpool game.

Fantastic.

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Question is do we go with a diamond again or back to wingers?

Most recently, against both Leicester and West Ham, Liverpool struggled to break those teams down. Not only did they fail to create many chances, but they could have easily lost both of those games had the other teams been more clinical in front of goal. Both teams played a 4231.

Liverpool's use of the width means I'm not sure we can afford to play a diamond, as we'll be incredibly exposed in the wide areas. However, the cheating spaces our forwards found themselves in meant we were able to counter effectively against Spurs, Arsenal and Chelsea.

Whatever we go with, we need to counter through wide areas.

He's most certainly not the best referee for our games.

He won't give one at Old Trafford. Especially from a Salah dive.

 

[stu_1992]

Looking forward to this a lot more than the last time we played them. We played well last night, going and in defense when it was needed. With the exception of PSG we've looked solid when playing big teams under Ole so hopefully that continues here. We got passed Chelsea without them, but hopefully we do see Martial and Lingard come back into contention. The more options the better. All the pressure is on Liverpool in this game, so hopefully we can use that to our advantage and derail them. 2-1 to United.

 

[Gandalf Greyhame]

Oliver the ref. Expecting a Pool penalty from a Salah dive, and James Milner to get away with 32 cynical fouls on Pogba and Rashford.

There's really no pressure. If we was in the title race I would've been more scared. Pressures on them

 

[minoo-utd]

I trust Ole at this one.

 

[#07]

I feel sorry for Ander Herrera. Michael Oliver will give him a yellow within the first 5-10 minutes and then be desperately looking for another opportunity to send him off for the remaining 80-85 minutes.

 

[Needham]

He'll be looking to prove himself on the big stage.

If Martial/Lingard dont make it back.

Where did you see this stat? I want to throw it into my scouse colleagues' face at work

 

[Jonno]

Having watched the Hererra / Sanchez interview on BBC before the Chelsea game, and having watched Sanchez when he came on against Chelsea, I really feel a lot more confident in him starting over Lukaku against Liverpool.

I'd be for Sanchez starting against Liverpool, I think he's incredibly motivated and putting everything into turning this poor form around.

Will we play a diamond though? Who knows with OGS, he will have something up his sleeve that might surprise Liverpool.

This is easily the most excited I've been ahead of a United Liverpool game in some time. Attack v Attack, license to get forward, in form players, a manager that understands the importance of the fixture. Roll on Sunday.

I think Sanchez would excel playing where Mata played at the tip of the diamond, but I don't think we can afford to ask strikers to track their attacking full backs so I can't see us using that system. I'd still start Sanchez though, he looked much sharper yesterday, could be the catalyst he needs.

The fact that the scousers think he's the best ref in the league should tell you everything you need to know.

We have not scored 5 at home for some time

Sunday seems a good day to do it

They'll need one when they're 4-0 down.

 

[Zebs]

Still gutted that Mata scissors/overhead kick didn't go in in the first half last season to make it 3-0. They were on for an absolute drubbing that day had it hit the back of the net.

Time to make up for it this season

 

[Sassy Colin]

They'll need one when they're 4-0 down.

Good point.

 

[crossy1686]

I think starting the same team as we did against Liverpool is the best way to go, as it will be total demoralising for them to see Lingard and Martial coming off the bench in the last 20 minutes to run them ragged when they're tired.

 

[Slevs]

I hate this fecking fixture. Let's go boys!
