Difference between Barca at the Nou Camp and Liverpool at Anfield tbf...

The important difference is between an acceptable result and a bad loss.

yep, I'm sure their morale has taken a hit the last couple of weeks, no wins in 4 now, whereas we haven't lost in 5 and Jose will be able to use the result against pool as a booster

Jayop

Big win tonight hopefully will add to that moral booster before the next two big games. I know City is only the league cup but the last thing you'd want is to be spanked by them in it.

Think alot has been learned about city over the last couple of weeks.

Also think Jose learned a lot from the first half display we had against them and it won't happen again.

Where did u steal that lineup from

Xenji

Does anyone know if you can get BT Sport Showcase on Freeview here, they are showing the match free to air tonight?

Whatsisname

Darmian lives!

deaddonkey15

Still no Mkhitaryan.

Jayop

Happy enough with that. Would have liked Fozzy to get a run but happy to see Darmian in anyway. Surprised to see Pogba playing again.

It's free to air on BT Sports 2 if you have a satellite

Quandary

It's a bit worrying that Henrikh and Schneiderlin are not even on the bench if they are fit to play.

Herrera getting a well deserved rest after the work he put in at Liverpool surely means he's starting against Chelsea too.

The chap is just returned from injury, relax.

Yep, I'd have been pissed to see ander play tonight.

I think Jose wants Pogba to play as much as possible in an effort to get him bedded in quickly. No harm IMO.

Rayne Wooney

Looking forward to seeing that front 6 playing with Rooney hopefully staying up front and not dropping back.

It's as likely pigs will fly as Rooney sticking to position...

Liam O

Blind not in the squad can only mean Jose doesn't fancy him and he's going to be sold soon.

You'd have to imagine Henrikh still isn't quite right. No way would Jose buy him and discard him already with so few appearances.

It looks like Jose just doesn't fancy Schneiderlin.

I'd normally agree but 5 games in 12 days and this is the least important of them all. I guess he thinks Pogs can play in them all. I suppose he wouldn't be too tired after the Poll game considering he was a passenger for most of it.

Whatsisname

Pretty sure Schneiderlin is injured aswell

Seemed highly strung to me. Calm your cock good sir!

Couldn't agree more. Hopefully this is the real start to his Utd career. He's coming into his peak years now and with any luck he'll be a mainstay for us. It's been far too long since we had a midfielder with his skill set.

Like a Paul Scholes that can tackle a bit better but can't pass as well.

OK so nothing like Paul Scholes.

he should have been a starter from the very beginning, was class in spain as well.

Yeah I read that he was injured in the MEN.

He'd damn well better. Games like Monday show that Zlatan should not be undroppable, the best thing Rooney can do for himself is to go out tonight and show that he is still a very good striker, and worth playing in that posiiton.

Jayop

I.miss 18 year old Rooney. What a player.

ericzeking

I thought Martial was meant to be injured?

Cookie_Dough

Great to hear RVP getting a big cheer and a chant. I miss him. Hope he's quiet tonight though

adox

The Eir sports commentary is horrendous continuously going on about the Utd supporters booing the team already. I would presume that's the Turkish fans.

How Soon Is Now

Really should of had mykitarian on bench at least. I mean how else do you get match fitness then by playing?

If doesn't feel he's good enough for this surely won't have him near Chelsea or City then either so that means no time for another few games added to what he's missed already.

bangkok

is there anything to be said to 2 strikers playing up front?? give both centre halfs something to think about... we are the home team

ElChe32

Some touch from Mata. *swoon*

beno619

Rooney should be all over that Peno.

sReq | uTeK

Jesus that's some pass from Juan

Manutd_4life

Hopefully that boosts his confidence!!

Great run and great penalty

Quandary

Juan Mata

Pure class

adox

Two brilliant passes for the penos.

Very unusual having different peno takers after the first one was converted but the ends justify the means.

How was the defender for the second one not booked?

Did I mention the commentators are driving me mental?

Rayne Wooney

Pogba was playing far too deep before the penalties

bangkok

already in 45 mins, carrick is proving yet again why he should be in the starting 11. pure class

Hargreaves and Owen in the studio and then they add further pain with Savage

Mars Bar

There's the Pogba we paid outrageous money for!

Holy crap that was fantastic from Lingard
