No disrespect to McBain and I look forward to reading his preview. I hope he doesn't mind if I post something up tonight. Just working on it now and I've even took my own photos

Don't make it too good Azul or you'll give the game away

Prays for a draw

 

[Azza]

If United attack just 10% like they did against West Ham we're stuffed.

Zlatan v Jags or Funes Mori... He'll think Christmas will have come early! It's going to be tough to watch.

 

[gonetomorrow]

I think we'll win on Sunday. Typical.

At least a two clear goal victory for United. Morale looks abysmal amongst our players and with no real leaders in the squad aside from Williams, who hilariously isn't even captain, we're a sinking ship. At this rate I'll be happy to finish 11th once again.

I will also be made up if we get a shot on target before the 93rd minute !!

This could turn ugly.

Gonna pop Koeman's main quotes in here to avoid clogging up the other thread:

“Southampton was really a sloppy start. If not they can’t score after 40 seconds.

“The Swansea game was difficult because the role of Sigurdsson makes it difficult for us.

“We need to have that aggression in the game. We have to put ourselves with that aggression. It’s not good that you need something external to bring that aggression.

Maybe it is the type of players we have - but we’re trying to change that.

“It’s the team performance. It’s not by one player.

“The team was not compact against Southampton, the team did not start aggressive, otherwise we would not be behind in 40 seconds.

“We need to be more clinical.

“If we are more compact and aggressive we will be more difficult for the opponent.”

“In a difficult time you really understand what you need as a team.

We need to be strong, we need personality in the team.

“We can change a lot of things this Sunday.

“Not really different because we believe in how we train, how we communicate to the players, how we show the players mistakes. But with a lack of confidence it’s always difficult.

“It’s football. First of all you need to work hard. It’s the best way to turn around things.

“We play a big game against a big club. We are still in a good place in the table.

If somebody asked me that in December Everton would be 7th and if we beat Man United we’d be 6th, I’d be happy.

“But I know some performances have not been good enough. But still unbeaten at home.

“The first message is to work hard.”
