V Man Utd

Playing at home may actually work against them. If they don't come out and take control, the crowd will get very antsy and the players will feel that tightness.

We can't sit back. We have to go at them early. Put them on the back foot to start.

I must concede, it's set up for the counter and players like Mirallas and Lukaku.

Never write off United. Very glad if we get a point.

In the past years when people have said to me "We can go to united, liverpool arsenal and win" I have never agreed with them but this year I honestly believe we can.

Is Carrick out for that game?

Fellaini - Cleverley it will be. We should really dominate that midfield with Barry, Barkley and McCarthy unless we get a red card.
Even with Carrick in, we really should as Fellaini/Cleverley are both not really good playing CM IMO.

They have a dodgy defence even though they kept a clean sheet vs Leverkusen. Smalling, Evans, Ferdinand, we should really do them on the counter. Only one defender in that whole team is quite pacey and thats Evra.

We may win or we may lose, or indeed we could draw. IMO.

Hopefully Spurs will give Rooney and RVP a snidey few kicks tomorrow. (y)

It will be a very tough game.

Will do the preview on Monday hopefully.

I dont think we'll have too much joy there, tbh.

I know we're flying at the minute, but they are desperate for three points to stay even within peering distance of Arsenal now. I can see us facing their very best team and it'll be difficult to handle both Rooney and van Persie and get some momentum going out of defence. Those two will be pressing all night.

United followed by Arsenal less than 4 days later is going to be unbelievably tough. I can see us coming out of those with just a point, tbh. If we do better than that it'll be very welcome.

I'd be satisfied with 4 points. Any less then Martinez out!

Five players for 3 spots. Pienaar, Osman, Barkley, Mirallas, and Del. What will Bobby do?

Whilst feeling more positive than ever I think it's important to remember it wasn't too long ago we were played off the park by the bottom club.

Sorry to put a negative in. But important to have some perspective.

For the first time that I can remember we will be going to old trafford actually expecting something from the game! We have a better starting 11 than them in my honest opinion and our midfield should win that battle the way they are playing. Is the game on tv at all?

Bold statement when its the same side that won the league title last season

De Gea,Vidic,Valencia,RVP,Rooney,Carrick,Hernandez,Jones,Fellaini and Kagawa are good players
