      Just read that 3 of the 6 game officials for the United match were the same officials who screwed us in the Spurs match. Including the lineman and Michael Oliver. How the f**k does the FA not see this as a problem?

      It's amazing the number of unsold United tat that I see in stores now. I realized just how fake and plastic United fans are here in the US. In the late 90s mid 2000s you couldn't spit without hitting some pr**k in a Beckham or Rooney shirt. I know one guy who's a United fan and his life is miserable now. Of course I keep texting him when they lose and once a week I text a screen shot of the table and highlight Uniteds position.
      It's the simple things in life. Those little things that make me smile.

      So the question here becomes....do we root for a blowout which will likely get ETH a pink slip....or do we allow them to keep it close so it keeps him in a job?

      I do love a good blowout of that pitiful team.

      I want 8-0, need to improve on past results against them.

      Not like there’s anyone to replace him anyways, out with the sh*t, in with the shi**er.

      The path of support goes United - Chelsea - City - PSG.
      Here at least. It's easy to see the glory hunters.

      MacAllister is going to be a few more games from what I've read. Jota not till late January.

                      Alisson
       Trent - Konate - Virgil - Kostas
                         Endo
                   Dom  -  Grav
                        Gakpo
              Salah      -     Nunez
           
      Think Diaz has been blowing a bit cold the last few games so I'd see how he can impact the game off the bench, especially against a tired Maguire, having Diaz run at him full of energy should leave him on his arse, especially after facing Nunez up to then, even if he's been one of their better players this season.

      Edit: Nevermind, Maguire just gone off injured so that's him out.

      So after Rat faces deliberate yellow card v Bournemouth, are Maguire and Shaw feigning injury now, so they don't have to face us  :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

      ManU is like this old dude that once was a stud but now needs diapers. They have this massive reputation from the past but are just an average PL team right now. We need to beat them, especially with home field advantage, if we wanna seriously talk about a title race. We are heavily overperforming (see xG, xGA), so I am not convinced yet we are a contender and not just a lucky pretender. But a win against a mediocre but still average PL team like ManU when it counts would convince me and a lot of people generally that we are for real.

      I know what you mean, but what's the use of being a heavy favorite if you can't enjoy it. If something happens and we lose, so be it...but I don't think that's going to happen. Much more likely that we put them to the sword.

      Nothing is guaranteed in football but it's not a 12.30 ko and United are a disorganised mess on and off the pitch. We need to be aggressive from the start, press them and we should be able to win fairly easily.

      Even With both Jota and Mcallister likely to be out, on Sunday. The Reds should comfortably beat Man U at the weekend. Seemingly more woes for manager, of this hapless bunch Ten Hag.

      Agree with the above. But they're like a wounded animal now, and we haven't been brilliant ourselves, even though we've been getting the wins.
      we also have our own share of injuries. We should win, but I'm always nervous in these situations.

      Are we gonna risk any more injuries to our top players on Thursday ?  Hope not !

      They got thumped last time out at Anfield. They won’t forget that. They will be prepared for us. It’s a rivalry, and I think it will be a tough game for us.

      As long as the players turn up, win the battle's and make sure they are first to everything and don't give them cu*ts a sniff, then no reason not to feel confident
