There's a reason for that though! Attack is the best form of defence etc. Most teams will get stuffed if they attack City, as they will leave gaps at the back that City cut through on a counter. They just don't have the quality to stop a City break every time. Hence most teams siting back and hoping to get a draw. It's the same against us this season - most teams have not attacked us, but end up being beaten anyway due to the quality of our team.

Very true. But, if you have to beat them, then the best way is to get at that crappy defence and hope for the best when they attack. If you sit back, you will almost certainly lose.

Que?

We are lots of points behind and have bad goal difference. We are fighting with two others for one place. Unless Arsenal and Chelsea both collapse, top 4 is out of the question if we lose tonight.

Nothing to do with maths then.

Adding points to points is maths. We need to win all our games unless two sides (statistically unlikely, again maths) both collapse. That’s because there are not many points left to gain and not many points left to drop.

Seriously, you're the second person to have said this, where are you getting this result from?

Even after Salah put us 2-0 up I wasn't as confident as some of you utd fans about beating Chelsea...

I’ll either be proven right or wrong in a few days. It’s just a feeling, I’m not one for quoting a billion stats, as they mean the square root of sod all anyway.

I wouldn’t be confident of Utd beating any side at the moment. We could lose to a League 2 side.

All that said, we WILL beat City tonight. 3-1. Martial to score 2 off his shin. Pogba to score from 25 yards with his left foot and then scream ‘I know I’m a dhead! But I can change!’

Unless we beat City, top 4 is gone. People are very bad at maths around here!

With 'the german grenade' aka Mustafi playing for us Gunners and set to self destruct at any given moment inside 90 minutes, anything is possible.

I,ll have a pint of what your on.....
If they capitulate tonight, he ...OGS better get some of those youth team prepared. You can only have so many false dawns and Churchillian speeches in the dressing room.

Be interesting if Mr Woodwood gets a rousing round of applause 👏

I’m really not sure I can stomach wAtching tonight .

I would not be surprised that ManU have a great 10-15 minutes then lose a goal and get humped good and proper!

That's definitely the most probably outcome.

There is a desperation for us to finish in top four but tbh.. apart from a bit of financial gain (probably no more than if we could offload Sanchez's wages) we wont go far in CL next season. So I'd be happy getting some more minutes out of the youth now as we did end of last season. I don't think we would get any worse results..

I'm not sure what buying clart/attraction OGS will have in the summer regardless, so in turn next season will all have to be about development and some intelligent buying.

[franki68]

I'm not sure I can actually stomach watching tonight.Watching guys on 100k+ a week stroll round a bit of grass has become quite boring and offensive .

I'm hoping for 6-0 today. Then we're back even on goal difference!

7 out of the starting 11 have absolutely no business playing for Manchester United.

That's got to be some kind of record.

Are you here all week?

[bstb3]

Wow that's quite, er, experimental. Basically just sit back and try to counter since we wont be much cop at pressuring the ball. Honest, at least.

Young and Lingard though...

Marginally better than that 5 at the back

[anonymous-user]

If that line up is true, it confirms one thing- OGS hates Liverpool more than I do!

[toastyhamster]

I thought that was a wind up but the teams confirmed :-o
