I'm not heaping pressure on Werner for this game. It's a big match and he's barely had time to settle.

Still, will be a good game for him to cut his teeth on. Hopefully we'll see some of what he has to offer!
 
Need to get an unbeaten run going with our squad coming back, theres so much still to play for this season, a win today would be great, a draw away at old Trafford is not so bad.

Let's hope we get the win
 
They've had one good result against a decent team in the last 10 - Villa, who should have nailed that at 2-0 up. And Villa aren't that great either imo.

They don't like being pressed. If Werner starts then he's v good at that.

If we finish with 11 players I'd be confident of winning this one.

Just make sure cheating cunt Fernandez doesn't get into the box otherwise you know what's happening. Dunno how the ref is.

The misplaced confidence in here is hilarious, you guys never learn do you
What about United scares you? They are completely stunted in the buildup and the worst team in the top half in the final third. Bournemouth went there and won and we beat Bournemouth at home playing poorly. Hojlund makes Richy look like Mo Salah. The worst case scenario is our attack misfires and they get a dodgy pen for 1-0, but I don't fancy their defence holding us to nil when no one else has managed it this season. They are utter shit, this is quite possibly the worst United team in PL history.

They have 6 players returning and we have 4 key players out.

I hear you. Just think the relative break (Wigan in the Cup excepted) will have done them a favour.

Over a longer period our history up there is poor and I think this game comes just a couple of weeks too soon for us with injuries & players unavailable

Oh and VAR

Spot on. At 2-0 up Villa chose to sit in instead of going for the 3rd and 4th, Uniteds midfield is very poor and they do not work back too much especially if Eriksen or Mctominay play, our overloads with the inverted full backs should give us a huge advantage, my only worry is that Cheat Fernandes and the VAR shambles. If we avoid any controversy we should win this one
 
It’s a danger game. Players coming back from long term injury, new players still learning the system. It’ll be a challenge finding tempo from the get-go. ManU are playing for their season and their pride. Does Sancho leaving help settle the dressing room? Does Ten Hag still have the dressing room? But in our taupe jumpsuits we play well away. There is ridiculous optimism in the direction of the club. All this points to a game of high drama, and I’ll be asleep for it because it’s on at 3.30am
