What we hoping for today, team wise?

Same as Sunderland I assume?

Eto or Ba upfront. Give cole a chance at left back.

MaroonAndGreen

Looking at our next 7-8 fixtures, this is our best chance of an away win so we have to take it..

Fully expect us to though.

As regards team: Ba deserves his start after his and Fernando's performances in the last 2 games. Kinda expecting to see a different combination behind the strikers too, Schurrle possibly in!

As long as we get the job done I dont care, with Utd losing we've to win as well, any opportunity any rival drops points we've to captailise and keep in touch with City/Arsenal/Pool

MaroonAndGreen

In Moyes we trust

Essein on the bench is a waste. After his last game he should be only on the cup squad

GavRedKing

15mins left I fancy a draw, you never write off Utd at home.

Ya should be De Bruyne

Thought De Bruyne might even be a regular starter before a ball was kicked, worked hard and did his job at Old Trafford and barely been used since..

He has pissed off Jose with something anyway!

GavRedKing

I reckon De Bruyne will start against Palace or Steaua.

Hope he does.. has Mata started 3 in a row in the league this season actually?

GavRedKing

I'd doubt it TBH but if he ha a good game today he'll be played against Palace no doubt.

Utd lose again at home. :eek:

Looks like they're coming apart. Even at our worst under RA, we never collapsed like that.

Ferguson got the last out of the tank, and too many of the squad are now running on empty. They'll need a total overhaul, and perhaps they'll have to do it from mid-table mediocrity. I can't believe they'll dump Moyes. If they can limp to the window, they can do some business to help target a UCL place. But if they have many more defeats like this and the dressingroom falls apart, God knows what can happen.

GavRedKing

What annoys me is we went there and played no striker, we could have and should have taken the game to them that night.

Were you watching the game? Bar the odd set piece United never looked likely to score. It really does look like the maddeningly stubborn United we've been used to for so long is gone.

If MC and ourselves win, that's three teams 9 points ahead of Utd. Any more of a gap by New Year and they're truly out of title contention.

I watched the last 25mins TBH I expected Utd to push on and go for it but nothing happened bar the offside goal which was correctly ruled out.

Not like Utd at all.

We HAVE to win, its simple, Utd have dropped points again so a win today means we'll have put 6 points between ourselves and Utd in the lat 2 games, thats huge.

GavRedKing

Decent start so far for us, hope we can at least take the lead, theres only so many times you can come from behind.

Crackle

Like the line up. Should be good enough to get the job done.

GavRedKing

Ramires should score there

Gonzovision

Good run by Schurrle, not the greatest by Ramires though...

GavRedKing

Slack by Ramires.

I'd love another Hazard display of excellence now.

GavRedKing

Twice Ramires has been sloppy in possesion

GavRedKing

What a goal be Shirley

homer simpson

Whoop Schurrle

Gonzovision

Great goal.

GavRedKing

Aguero has put City 1-0

GavRedKing

That was a corner no?

MaroonAndGreen

Aguero on fire recently..

What a start by us though!

Would love another before HT to make it safe cos they will bombard us 2nd half if its just 1-0

Crackle

Great to get the early goal, hopefully they'll maintain the intensity and performance for the full 90.

Johner

Lovely stuff so far.

GavRedKing

Hazard is so smooth with the ball, hes nearly impossible to knock off it.

Another one soon please.

GavRedKing

Poor by Mata.

homer simpson

Mata should have done better there.

Not to mention keeping the pressure on Arsenal!

GavRedKing

Stephen Irealand coming on, it would be just like him to do damage :eek:

Like that Villa game a few years ago.

GavRedKing

Poor charlie adam :pac:

GavRedKing

Great defending by JT

MaroonAndGreen

Brilliant defense so far especially JT.

Aw Ivanovic thats awful we had 4 waiting
...

GavRedKing

Hazard should have done better there

GavRedKing

Decent play at the edge but our finishing is leaving us down.

We need a 2nd I think.

MaroonAndGreen

We have to get another while we are on top

GavRedKing

We're doing ok but thats where Torres should be, not crossing it

GavRedKing

f**k sake lets up it
