Pre Match Manchester United v Leicester

Live on BT Sport on Saturday, 17:30

They've won both their matches 4-0 so far.

So do we park the bus and hope to keep them out, or try to win the game 5-4?

 

[Miles Away]

Go for the win...I hope.

 

[homer]

If we don't stick an extra man in midfield they'll shit all over us

 

[LudlowFox]

I think we don't turn up and hope everyone forgets about it.

Nah, I don't think we can afford to sit back as we'll just be fish in a barrel. We need to go for it and ride our luck.... we're good at riding our luck. It's not going to be easy and we could get tonked... but then we might also put in a good performance (and still get tonked) Who knows, maybe ManU will get cocky and complacent (and still tonk us)

 

[Micky]

We are going to get shat on. 5-0.

 

[Blaarev]

2-1 Leicester. Stringfellow, Weller.

 

[Graz]

We're just going to get dicked on aren't we?

If Shakey finds a way for us to not get steam rollered, he's done well.

No confidence at all for this one. They look very good right now. Plus tore us apart on corners last year and their team has just got bigger and better in the air.

I stupidly arranged meal out for the other half's birthday on Saturday night before I realised this was on, meaning I'll miss both this and Mayweather/McGregor. Bad planning!

You could still fit the fight in, it doesn't start until some unearthly hour.

Injury news from CS:

“Harry hasn’t trained fully today as a precaution,” he said on Thursday afternoon.

“I am hoping there is nothing long-term there and it keeps him out of Saturday. It was because of the tackle in the first minute and he has had an adverse reaction to it 24 hours later.

Vardy is fine. He came off during the [Brighton] game. I think it was more of a nerve problem than a kick. It settled down overnight which allowed me to include him in the squad for Sheffield United.

“I thought it was the right thing to do in terms of saving him a bit. But he has trained the last couple of days no problem.

“Wes will be involved. He has trained the last couple of days. Hopefully we won’t get an adverse reaction tomorrow but he has trained fully today. I expect him to be fighting fit for Saturday.

“Kelechi is another one who has trained, which is pleasing. We just have to be mindful of how long and how we push him. Gradually he is getting back to full fitness.

“Danny Drinkwater is training as well. The only one who has missed training is Robert Huth. We are taking it easy with him at the moment. He is sore in his foot so we have to be mindful that we are careful with him.

"Iborra is not training yet. I think it will be after the international break.

“Once we get over United, we have a couple of weeks and I am hoping we can up his fitness and get him out onto the grass. He hasn’t joined in with the squad yet.

“I am always trying to look on the positive side and say you will be back in one week when I know it probably will be two or three, really just to put some positivity into them.

“I know with Vicente he is disappointed at the moment but I am sure we will have him back sooner rather than later.

“Mendy hasn’t had any reaction so he is training fully. He is okay.”

Erm, that sounds positive

I don't think our defence is good enough to stop them scoring. Lets not show them respect and take the game to them.

Worried that he didn't mention Leo

Let's pray that he's fit

I quite like the:

"The only one who has missed training is Robert Huth."

And then the next paragraph:

"Iborra is not training yet. I think it will be after the international break."

Defo didn't like the bit about Maguire though, if we don't have him against Utd then we are well and truly ****ed.

If Harry is not playing I will revise my decision to watch this up the pub.

Too many gobby fake Mancs about to test my patience when we get a beat down .

Playing Man U always gives me the same feeling, a bit like potentially sleeping with your sister-in-law.

The anticipation is thrilling, but sadly you know you are going to get found out and it will all end in tears.

 

[jb5000]

Probably what Ryan Giggs thought too

You clearly haven't met my sister-in-law.

 

[fitz]

They're due an off day. It's been a couple of weeks since they won the league, apathy towards the rest of the season will set in. 3-0 to us.

 

[cambiassoo]

I don't understand why some of us are feeling so pessimistic ahead of this one.

We will give United a much bigger test than the likes of Swansea and West Ham did.

I'm backing us to win this against the odds.
