After the shit show midweek its onto the next one... City match aside Leicester have been dogshit this season so we should do them but who knows with us. We're not scoring enough goals at the minute, even Zlatan has dried up so I'm hoping Mourinho mixes it up a little and puts an attacking side out. Will Jones be fit for this one?
De Gea
Valencia - Bailly - Rojo - Shaw
Carrick - Herrera
Mata/Micky - Ibra - Martial
Rashford
Not overly fussed about the back four as long as Darmian and Rojo aren't full backs, Blind played pretty well midweek so could start again. Pogba has been wank the past few matches so he can gather his thoughts from the bench, Martial has got to come in and get linking back up with Rashford like last season. I want goals. |

Well after that last match ........... where I morphed into this mad as a wasp woman ........... don't really know what my expectations are here - I'm learning to lower them We will get what we deserve........ midweek it was nothing ..... and I'm still mad swear2-smiley Pogba and Ibra seem to be running stone cold so bench them both ............ but it's not going to happen. Mikhy is also not doing it for us at the moment but trying hard so De Gea
Valencia - Bailly - Rojo - Shaw
Herrera - Schweini
Lingard - Mata - Martial
Rashford
But it's not Hull  A change is as good as a rest I suppose Leicester are far from being on top form to say the least Merson thinks we can score 3 I'm not so sure  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- With how things are going at the moment I can see Leicester being relegated. They are on a horrible run and watching them at Southampton - wow. Manchester United have to win this game after their poor result against Hull and that's what I like about this game, if it's all square going into the last 20 minutes then United will have to go for it. That could play into Leicester's hands but with their confidence shot to pieces and how they are playing, I can't see them getting anything. They are never going to get back to where they were last season, it's impossible. But they do need to rekindle the spirit they showed towards the end of the season before last when they were in a relegation battle. It clicked for them then and they got the results they needed to survive. It needs to happened again. PAUL PREDICTS: 1-3 |

We seem to have developed the knack of making poor sides look good. So I don't see us winning by more than the odd goal.
As for the line up:
De Gea
Valencia - Bailly - Rojo - Shaw
Herrera - Schweinsteiger
Lingard - Mata - Rashford
Ibra
Should get the job done with Rooney and Pogba making an appearance from the Bench.
Result 1 - 2 Goals by Ibra and Rooney !

No doubt the fan-cheating wankers will have their cup final against us, like they all do. Fuck 'em. I hope they go down, cunts.

De Gea
Valencia - Bailly - Rojo - Shaw
Herrera - Schweinsteiger
Mhki - Mata - Martial
Ibra/Rashford (you could argue both ways, Ibra offers strength over Morgan but Rashford would run circles around that backline)
We better get the win here, absolutely attrocious last week and we can't allow that to happen again, then again Mou has taken a very laissez-faire approach at times which is aggrevating.

All of you dropping Pogba? I don't know, for me he hasn't been that bad, especially when he was given the freedom to move forward, but when you stick him as a defensive midfielder he's no better than Jones playing there  Dear lord, I just had a flashback of that. I'd go with this:  I am struggling with how exactly to incorporate Martial and Rashford in the same line up, Martial up front doesn't do the same job as Ibrahimovic and neither does Rashford, but it seems unfair to drop either one of them. Micky for me deserves the bench after his last performance, but I wouldn't go with Lingard either, so Mata it is. |

Jie - For one hung over moment I read your line up as having Ibra in Goal and David as Striker ! Maybe that is not such a bad idea after all.

Comfortable win but should have been ruthless really and won by 5 or 6.
Micky was excellent, piss easy afternoon.. onto Watford.

much better performance today. Like dave said should have had about 5 or 6 really but we were on another level from Leicester who are pretty screwed, unless swansea remain as bad Leicester will be going down i think. A shame in all honesty since they're still somehow in the champions league (imagine if they won the champions league somehow and got relegated).
Maybe i didn't give our defense enough credit, they looked pretty safe (Mahrez looked good so Rojo did alright to contain him in the first half, and Blind did a better job of it in the second) Pogba did his job also which is good to see (would like some consistency out of him, thats it).
Anyway more of the same for Watford thanks. Only 2 points off of the top 4 and the 4 teams above us don't exactly look great (City barely beat swansea and tottenham barely beat middlesbrough and the scouse lost to Hull). We may pull this off yet
