John Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 We could do with Manchester City not losing at the weekend then Manchester United could not clinch the title with a win against us... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villadude Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 2-1 to us, benteke will go missing again, bent and gabby to score, shrek for them, all goals scored in the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mottaloo Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 We will either get bummed 5-0 or they will win it in the last (97th) minute with an offside goal or massive deflection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Yes we just don't want to concede an early goal. When they come we have to take our chances and Guzan will have to play a blinder. Can't see anything else other than a united win to be fair. I just hope its not a big margin and have an effect on morale and confidence. We'd just beaten Liverpool 3-1 then went to Stamford Bridge and lost 8-0. It took us about 3 months to get over that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pez1974 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Bring back Sylla, play a tight 4-3-3 and we will be able to contain them and frustrate them for long periods. We'll still make a few chances, have to take one or two of them. If we concede early we could easily get hammered though. Exactly this - it's what I come on this thread to post. Their midfield looked poor against WHam, and although they have the attackers we need to try and nullify the service. Oh, and Vlaar to hit RVP like a train and not get booked, but Baker breaths down his neck gently in the 80 minute and get a second yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pez1974 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 With the option of bringing on Bent, N Zog and Gabby as game changers with 20 or so minutes to go if it's still tight and he feels we could knick it. So, if it stays 0-0, that'd be the 80th minute then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvfcTheObsession Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I can see this being a dull game, with us losing 2-0. I wouldn't be too disheartened by that, although I think we are going to need to pick up something against Chelsea, to go with at least a win and a draw from our other 3 remaining games.

Papillon Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I am neither defeatist or always positive when it comes to our games, but it is hard to get excited for this game.. Man U almost never lose at home, in fact they always seem to win. Anyway, it would take a miracle for us to take a point off them, but the game also has to be played first. What's most important for me this weekend is what will happen to Wigan, Stoke and Sunderland. If we lose and they lose, then OK. If we manage a magnificent draw and they all win, disaster. Something like that. Stoke are away to QPR who right about now know they will relegate so perhaps they will up their game because the pressure is gone. They are down, time to bring out some positive energy to end the season on a high. Sunderland have a tough game against Everton, which has a draw written all over it and Wigan play a tough West Ham away. I was impressed with West Ham last night, but that was against Man U and not Wigan, they can suddenly return with a crap performance which kind of epitomizes Allardyce teams. I predict a draw for all of these teams really, which would take us one point in deficit but we can fix that against Sunderland, a game we have to win!

Kwan Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 One of the few glimmers of hope is that United haven't been really looking up to snuff lately. We gave it a right go last time and I think there's an outside chance we'll at least not get hammered. My biggest concern is that our fullbacks tend to tuck in a lot. If we give Carrick or Scholes time on the ball, they're going to hit that long diagonal and have us on the back foot really quickly. Think it's really important for Lowton and Bennett to keep their concentration levels high and not let their man get in behind them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingsombrero Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 (edited) They'll score in the first 3mins and we'll all think well that's that then. We'll then proceed to have a really good go back at them, squandering a couple of good chances along the way. Then just when we start to believe that maybe, just maybe we might sneak something they'll blast another past us in the final 10mins followed by another 2 for good measure in Fergie time. 4-0 Edited April 18, 2013 by flamingsombrero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avflife Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Guzan Lowton Vlaar © Baker Bennett Delph Westwood Sylla Weimann Bent Gabby Benteke has looked sluggish last two games (Stoke and Fulham) so needs a rest, but PL probably won't even have this in his mindset.

CI Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Benteke has gone AWOL against all the Big5 this season. Not 1 goal. I did enjoy him pushing Smalling over though. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morpheus Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Will be interesting to see whether Fergie rests a few this time around or will he give us the utmost respect by fielding his best team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
