Easy win
The senile old goat in charge will find a way to fuck this up. He'll play Flamini in goal or something. With a bit of luck he won't be able to get his usual stand-by ticket to the game and the players will be freed to play while he consoles himself with whatever magazines he can find in the bin outside WHSmith.
United are poo but unless our forwards have sorted their lives out, we won't be winning this.
1-1.
0-3
Welbz to have a party.
If we don't go for this - and instead give them too much respect (see Chelsea) I will be very cross :fury:
That's precisely what will happen so I hope we play Welbeck.Quote:

With our lack of confidence and the Barcelona result and WUMger unlikely to change anything up, a draw is probably the best result we can hope for.
We have lost coherence in the middle of the park but enough chances to win games are being created. Giroud is going through his seasonal goal drought which happens when he is played too much. Sanchez, well I don't know what's happened to him. After being so consistently good for so long, I guess a fall in form was overdue. Walcott? Well, nuff said. It's further compounded by having no goals to rely on from Ox, Ramsey or Campbell. Welbeck may look like the new messiah but it wasn't too long ago that Arsenal fans were laughing at, rather than cheering him. The chances are coming but the players seem to be on a no-goal bonus now.Quote:

We should go there and win if we have real aspirations of winning the title. Wenger though has the shits when it comes to Old traford and at best we'll get a draw.
We should win and are capable of winning but we won't win. I think it'll end in a draw, wouldn't be surprised if it's 0-0.
The way they play and the way we shoot, or don't, that is depressingly likely :(Quote:

Yeah our finishing is a real problem at the moment, we simply have to improve or we'll fall short this season on all fronts.Quote:

We shouldn't even need the extra advantage to beat this Utd team.
Big question for me is who partners Flamini in the middle.
Advantages count for nothing with us as we always make it hard for ourselves. In fact the worse state they're in the more likely they are to beat us.Quote:

that was one of the worst performances we have had against United... think they had like 8 defenders playing that day and still comfortably beat us.Quote:

That's it then, we're fucked.
Martial injured for this just now :haha:
0-0.
So in attack they have the following to choose from:
Mata
Carrick
Young
Herrera
A Valencia
Fellaini
Schneiderlin
Lingard
Poole
Pereira
Goss
Weir
Riley
Depay
Rashford
Keane
If we don't win just let world war 3 commence early...
Jesus christ, they really are down to the bare bones.Quote:

Problem is we are about as reliable in front of goal as United this season
We have failed to score in five of our last eight games, six of which have been at home
15 goals in last 13 games in all competitions
I don't know what to say here really, I can't see us winning but then I rarely can see that against anybody.
It will probably be a draw.
We have a lot in our favour against them now but I still cannot see us winning because we just can't score.
I am going to stick my neck out and say we will win. hopefully the players will watch a video of the first game and watch how we started that game and try to replicate. there wont be a lot of goals but I think we will get a sneaky giroud header for 1-0.
Well you'd think United would be wary this time of a quick start from us, it will probably be a tight game like it generally is at Old Trafford. I can see us playing well but probably not doing enough to win. Largely thanks to the goal shy attack.
No Santi. We can't play that way when he's not there. But that doesn't mean we should do that winter cold start routine that we've favoured so much this season.Quote:

Didn't exactly set the world alight against Hull even without him starting
True. But that was more because he was being rested rather than dropped for poor form. He seems to put in an extra shift every time he gets dropped. May be it wont matter if the rest of the team plays like shit.Quote:

What does that even mean? He's just going through a bad patch, putting him on the bench isn't going to help.Quote:

He's always been a patchy goal scorer, droughts are just as likely as hot streaks for him. The fact we're not getting goals from elsewhere only further increases the burden on him. It's not his fault his fault we're reliant on him, that's down to WUMger not coming through in the transfer market.
Even though he's not scoring he's still playing pretty well. He'll win everything in the air but there's never anyone within 10 yards to capitalise.
