Eriksen they don’t love you at tottenham come rescue Swansea

 

Don’t you dare

 

Fantastic result for AFC Wimbledon today

 

COYS(wans)

 

Set my alerts on for that match today in my footballing app to keep track of it. I was shocked!

 

It would be PEAK United if we won tonight

 

Your best chance is if De Gea suddenly regains his form again.

 

There are literally four games where City have failed to score this season: Tottenham in the Champions League first leg, Chelsea in the League Cup final, Liverpool & Chelsea in October & December respectively.

Even if De Gea is unbelievable tonight, you'd still fancy City scoring at least once. So I think the United front line will need to rediscover a bit of form as well.

 

Darmian starts lol

 

City need the 3 points today. Arsenal will lose anyway so it won't matter for top 4.

 

And since when do y'all experiment with 5 in the back?

 

Ole has done it a few times since being manager. I remember a few weeks back he tried Shaw as a LCB in a back 3. It could be any number of formations to be honest. Could even be Young RW to double up on Sterling.

I do quite like the idea of Fred being the middle midfield player. He's good at winning possession back quickly.

Not sure it's a game for Andreas mind. He's looked shocking in possession at times this season. If we give the ball away cheaply tonight we'll be punished .

 

Few times in the past few months. When Shaw got sent off v West Ham we were playing a back 5.

 

Lol united line up

 

Sterling was a United fan as a kid. Shame he's had such poor taste in clubs since then.

 

Gotcha! I really was struggling to remember but was thinking it was likely that Ole had tried it at least a couple of times since it would seem a bit odd to randomly try out the formation in this type of match up.

 

Sorry in advance to my fellow United fans watching this. Also, maybe just don’t watch it, it’s still early enough to bail.

 

Jesus Kompany has been tragic so far. Guardiola surely thinking of bringing him off.

 

We've comfortably been the better team so far.

 

Stunning work by Ederson there.

 

City are coming at Rashford so far in this game.

 

So far all 25 mins has been City running into a brick wall.

 

City make that foul multiple times a game and never get yellows.

At least this ref is consistent.

 

But how about Wolves being up by 2 against Arsenal!?

 

Oooh almost. Fantastic ball and great clearance.

Not surprising.
