No chance of us winning this one. Manure are in a run of really poor form so, you just know that they’ll get a really dodgy VAR decision. It was always written thus.

Was always more confident about this one than last night against the original United. 3-0 to us (maybe 3-1 if they get a dodgy penalty).

We’ve won 2 out of the last 4 league meetings. We can do this.

No doubt that Hojiland will get his first prem goal .
happened to Andrew Cole and who was that fair haired foreign striker he didnt score for ages until he did it vs us (Diego Forlan)

They'll definitely cheat, and win.
This unfortunately. As sure as night follows day.

I dont see how anybody watched them today and thinks they'll do anything against us but get shovelled. They're absolute shite.

I wouldn't change it around too much. We desperately needed Dougie further forward last night, so I'd bring Big Donk in to shore up the defensive duties.               

                     Martinez
Konsa    DiegoCarlos    Lenglet    Digne
               The Donk
     Bailey     Dougie     McGinn
                   Diaby
                  Watkins

Luiz will need to sit next to the Donk. His efforts to play on the half turn would be a disaster. Agreed on starting the Donk, McGinn was lost there last night and we lost his goal threat from midfield as a result. Only one of Diaby or Bailey for me and likely the latter on current form. Time to start Moreno too. Id go with Ramsey again on left.
