For some reason I feel MUCH more confident watching us go in as the underdogs. It takes a lot of the psychological pressure off the lads and allows them to take risks.
 

The pressure is on those overpaid mercenaries. If we can stay disciplined and keep it tight, we could get something out of it but it will be tough.
 
if we turn up and actually perform....it'll be the biggest test they've had so far this season

Think Drenthe and Coleman need to play. Wed need to make counters matter and with pace, give them something to think about

I think i would run the risk of playing Drenthe and Gueye for this one and have Cahill as the nominal Striker but playing a bit deeper. Potentially bring in Neville for Jack or Ossie - i think he likes citeh even less than I do. Providing Neville gets a game midweek.
 

I can't see one realistic scenario where we'll come away with a win here. If we take a two goal lead, for example, we'll try to shut up shop and get demolished. If we try and hang on and nick a goal late on, we'll get demolished by three or four. All out attack, we'll get demolished.

Basically, we're on for a hiding. I don't blame Moyes or anyone for it either, as it's quite simply a case of a far better side playing us. I'd take a draw right now and be delighted with it - I'd actually take a narrow 1-0 loss right now actually as it wouldn't destroy our confidence.

I criticised Moyes for how he went ultra defensive against City and nearly threw away the win last year. This season, if he comes up with ANY way of getting something from this game, I'll applaud him.

Optimistic as ever mate.
 
Ruffle feathers, mind games, bomb threats, flick knives,

generally smash the granny out of them.

Its ours for the taking, like every game. You know, what the hell I'll say it; I think we're even going to play with a striker on Saturday.

Gotta stop drinking before I post on here...
