We used to have a good record at OT.

I'm hoping City trounce Utd so Solskjaer feels inclined to play openly against us to get a result instead of counter-attack.

That might play into our hands.

Can see this being a draw. Will go for 1-1.

 

[robdog]

I am torn on who should start this match up top, but I believe Don Maurizio will start Breast diving Higuain. Let him go for an hour - 70 minutes then bring on the Sexy Giroud to finish the match - shame that CHO is out, because both Higuain & Giroud will suffer w/out his crosses into the box

 

[axman2526]

Two average teams with sh*t defenses that would make pub teams blush.

High scoring draw.

 

[Gol15]

I think we can win this 1:0.

Despite normally close affairs I think with City going neck and neck with Liverpool, City will win by several goals.

0-2 defeat

Yea City aren't gonna f**k about are they especially with Champions League gone and the league the only big trophy left to play for.

You only need to look at our record v the top 6 to know where this game is going.

1. It’s not that bad.

2. It’s irrelevant.

How can we trust Sarri in an away game against a top 6 team! Doesn't matter how sh*t United are and how crap Olly is as a manager sadly this is only going one way, 3-1 united.

Cue the false 9. You know he is just going to stick Hazard on top. ????

f**k Me, if Hazard plays false 9 for this game, it will be up there with all the other poor decisions. Hazard HAS to play where he can be a threat and hopefully we start with Giroud and then throw Higuain on to inject a bit of pace!! 

 

[Luca Vialli]

Absolutely nothing to fear, They are terrible with a mascot for a manager.

It's pretty bad though isn't it? 

Why wouldn't it be relevant? If this team generally struggles against other teams within the top 6 and also has struggled with away games throughout the season it's definitely something we should be looking at going into the game. 

If Sarri has any hopes of securing a top 4 spot he's got to do something he hasn't achieved for most of the season.

This is our record against teams mostly above us, so no it is not "pretty bad" but about bang in line with what it should be. Away track record i'll grant you, but it's a small sample. It's one of several factors (current form among them) that have a bearing on the game, not that relevant on its own and certainly not reason enough to expect us to lose before a ball has even been kicked. As for Sarri having to do something he hasn't achieved for most of the season, many thought he'd never give RLC and Hudson-Odoi a chance yet both now seem to be first team regulars. Many thought that under Sarri we'd never again be able to come back from behind and get a result. We've done that now. That was also a small sample, and in fact many are too quick to judge Sarri based on insufficient evidence.
