I'm expecting nothing less than United 4 - 0 City.

Have put a £1000 bet on it.

what would be the return on that if you really did put it on?

4-0 to United is 80/1 I think United to win by 4 is only 33/1, hardly worth it.

In Carrick we trust (for some reason)

 

[Robbo]

Not the most ideal opponent for Carrick's first game, but City aren't as good as previous years.

Good we have Amad and Mbeumo back, at least.

Edit :: Keano was like this on The Overlap yesterday, he was absolutely fuming about the coaches and owners and is repeating it today on Sky

Casemiro, Mainoo and Bruno in midfield then.

No Cunha or Sesko... quite a big call. Mbeumo must be striker with Dorgu wide again?

 

[Converge]

Yeah, not sure I agree with Sesko coming out of the team for a big game like this, particularly with him scoring lately. I’m sure they’ll come on later, but may be too late by then.

 

[Droolinggimp]

I want to punch Foden in the face.

 

[sigma]

Cunha been poor in final touches recently hasn't he?

 

[Calpol]

It's basically a ten Hag team + Dorgu, Mbeumo. So much for the rebuild.

He's trying to carry the team a bit like Bruno does. Perhaps that what happens when you are surrounded by crap.

Can I be arsed watching?

 

[sigma]

Interested to see how this pans out!! For all the positive comments I have about Amorim his inflexibility always going to be a problem (so why did they hire him, you ask? Good question, I say).

YT comments were saying this is different to EtH because he preferred 6-1 when defending or something? Carrick doesn't?

Was it ever going to be much different?

 

[bingham67]

Im trying to be positive but my head thinks we are getting battered

 

[bingham67]

So are we going for the good old Ole counter attack?

 

[Robbo]

Tactics aside, hardly any of our players would get into that City team, particularly the midfield/attack.

There needs to be a way to get Bruno/Amad/Mbeumo/Cunha and possibly Sesko in the same team.

What's your shirt number cos I'll be rooting for you!

Haven't you spent months saying we have the squad for this formation

 

[Nate75]

Here we go!

Not exactly? Cunha can just play on the left (he has before). I think he'd be better than Dorgu, but we'll see.
