OFFICIAL MANCHESTER UNITED v MANCHESTER CITY MATCH THREAD 1

What is undoubtedly a key game in deciding which part of Manchester gets the 2017/18 Premier League could see the end of the final unbeaten record in the country.

Pep Guardiola's Citizens got the first blemish on their record in the Ukraine midweek, and after Jose Mourinho's Red Devils got one over Arsenal last weekend, you can be assured Mou will want a repeat of said performance at the Emirates.

Or, more than likely, he'll park the bus again and bore everyone to death.

16:30 GMT kick-off.

Manure: De Gea, Valencia, Smalling, Rojo, Young, Matic, Herrera, Rashford, Lingard, Martial, Lukaku.
>Subs: Romero, Lindelof, Jones, Shaw, McTominay, Mata, Ibrahimovic.

Al-Shittihad: Ederson, Walker, Otamendi, Kompany, Delph, Fernandinho, D. Silva, de Bruyne, Sterling, Sane, Jesus.
>Subs: Bravo, Danilo, Gundogan, B. Silva, Aguero, Mangala, Zinchenko.

1-1 imo

second for important phone calls

...

>dutchfaggot so desperate to make the thread he doesn't even wait until the line-ups are out

fuck the dutch faggot

>could see the end of the final unbeaten record in the country.

I mean I don't think city will necessarily win outright but let's not get silly here

1-2
Sterling 90+4 desu

Epl?

Not even once.

If Manchester United doesn't include City, then how can United be united?

>moyes

damn...

This thread is better because the OP actualIy put effort into it

Yeah we're staying here. Didn't realise the other thread was the Dutch user.

...

>he'll park the bus again
Sitting and countering isn't an unexciting tactic, just depends if you get it right. Plus, it's kinda hard to not to give up possession against City: they're just so good at keeping the ball.

>Zinchenko
LITERALLY who

>4.30 kick off
what is this irregular faggotry?

this
also this

United win = potentially GOAT title race
Draw = United have a very very slim chance
City win = give them the title already fuck sake

without pogba united are going to be so boring
0-0 incoming

The best form of defence is attack. Jose, the absolute mad man. He clearly thinks it's worthless to just sit in against City.

anything but a loss 2bh

>no Pogba or Fellaini

Just give the cunts the title already

meme time due to three TV games

what makes them so good at keeping the ball

the teams with the most success against city sat in: leicester, southampton, west ham

Who do I pick today manure or Etihad city?

It's just a 4231 lad

Silva and De Bruyne playing Pep's meme triangles.

Bet on City lad

forgetting the team that actually beat city didn't

oh and huddersfield too of course

Reminder that Etihad literally translates to "United"

...

Normally I would but City’s coming from a loss and United’s coming from a win. Granted, the loss meant fuck all, but still

who /ABU/ here?

how do you stop meme triangles

i don't know how much tactical value we can extract from a dead rubber CL game away with a heavily rotated squad.
shaktar played really well but it clear city were saving themselves for this match today.

1-1
Rashford (de Gea assist) 67
Sane (David Silva assist) 25

It was City's C-team. They wanted to lose to get rid of Napoli desu

The lost. They break you down eventually. I'd guess Mou is playing both Rashford and Martial in the hope that City's fullbacks think twice about overloading forward.

>away results
>game is at old trafford

meme squares
Makes sense then

anime squares

>liverpoop

>ABUs
>possessing critical thinking skills

Are you ready to apologize?
How can one man be so based?

they played almost as good on the first leg before kdb scored

>implying City won't press like crazy no matter who United play

ngl as a united fan I'm completely prepared to get bummed 2-0

come on guys im serious

You don't. There's no point going toe-to-toe with them, they're too technically good. Just congest the midfield and force them wide. The key to beating Pep teams has always been transitioning defence to attack as quickly as possible.

City has been shaky lately, only winning because of Raheem (and goals at 90+20 with 2 minutes of injury time).

I like Pep but I want City to lose desu

Come at me City you pieces of shit

14 saves against Arsenal

meme tetrahedrons

I hate pep but I want City to win desu ne

City's plan: pass and pass until they have an unsaveable tap-in

>The key to beating Pep teams has always been transitioning defence to attack as quickly as possible

you mean hoof ball? shak on the first leg did pretty good without hoofs.

Other team parking the bus

>4-2-3-1
>Oliver

>Manure
>Al-Shittihad

super s1-1nday
put all your money on a draw

>epLEL
>last year won by Chelsea mid season
>already won by shitty not even 15 games in
>*****competitive******

are there any shapes that aren't memes to u *

pressing like demons to win it back when they lose it

That is exactly how United will line up though.

i like this mentality serbia

Watching streams in Arabic is making me feel warmer towards kebabs

But worried about Jesus. Aguero would just take pot shots that De Gea would eat up but Jesus is the tap-in master.

Keep your eye on Kyle Walker bombing the right side lads

>Martial on the right

>Utd playing a 2 man midfield with Matic and Herrera

will there be a minutes silence for the arena bombing

Mourinho's going to target Delph.

0-0 ft put your house on it

pressing is more of a meme than triangles

Dubs and Lingard scores a 90' winner.

10 years ago, City was nothing but a midtable club at best that struggled to not be relegated.

Now they are by far the best team in EPL and miles ahead of United.

How the fuck did this come to be?

Jaden, get of the internet

ukrainian xavi

regular shapes cant beat meme triangles

no i hear half time ariana grande performance of wonderwall ft. a white rapper that isnt lil peep

>80237991
I honestly hope to God you're trolling.

arabs

...

Money?

Fairytale story lad

lingard will play in shitaryan position

hardwork,dedication and passion
just kidding they're a fucking oil money club

Is Pogba out going to fuck United?

Lots of homegrown youth talent

just through hard work and perseverance x

What would you have done instead?

anyone get laid over the weekend? i thought i was going to but sadly did not and instead drank myself to sleep. currently waiting until noon when the liquor stores open so i can continue to drink. there's a chance i might still get laid but i doubt it. anyways how bout you guys

*dabs*

Jose looking happy in his pre-match interview.
