MrBlueGuy 1,552 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Well, we are used to play better against big teams and shit against smaller ones. So, I think Jose already knew the right approach for this kind of games.Yep approach is bus park after getting the 1st goal/conceded and it is 1-1 like we did against City.

RoyalBlues 4,050 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Think we will lose 1-2, they are in the best form since 2013 and we are tired now, we barely won against one of the worst side in the league today.Bus parking time I thinkCourtoisIvan Terry Cahill AzpliMatic Ramires FabregasWillian Remy HazardUs with less than 2 shots on target by the end of the match and less than 40% possession We're playing at our home, we won't park the bus. Thanks for the encouragement though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the encouragement though.Yep like against City a couple of months ago...or PSG at home. Not bus park but will get OUTPLAYED, DOMINATED by the away team.

In our current form it will be very hard, but IF we show up and play like first half of the season i think it could be a comfortable win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not bus park but will get OUTPLAYED, DOMINATED by the away team.We're playing safe against City at home, the objective is clear to have a draw is not a bad result, because they're in second place. Yes, PSG match is a shit one, and Luiz destined to score the wonder goal anyway, but that is CL for you.This time I have to think we will play as 'usual' because they're not the biggest threat for the title at the moment. If they are on the place of Arsenal right now, I agree, I'm expecting the same method like against City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hull city dominated us ffs and they are vastly inferior to Utd who are bang in form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyalBlues 4,050 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Also Remy will make a difference in this match. Glad that Fabregas and Matic could play and their yellow card cummulative banned has been reset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I would like us to see some nice pressing high up the pitch. With Valencia playing right back they don't have the pace to exploit that and are bad under pressure themselves. their defence is shit and will succumb to width and pace. But when we allow them to have the ball all the time, they will pass us to death with their typical Van gaal 100% posession tactics. they are not Barcelona FFS.But if bus parking suffices for a draw, I will take that. Utd have to win this in order to have only the idea of a sniff at the title. So we have a nice opportunity to show why we will win it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted April 12, 2015 Author Share Posted April 12, 2015 If we don't get Remy back for this one, then we're pretty much screwed. Can't really blame Drogba considering he is past his prime but it was excruciating watching him against QPR. Was like seeing Torres upfront all over again. Stayed central, static in between the centre backs and hardly offered any movement upfront. With his lack of pace, you could see QPR were comfortable in pushing high up the pitch to squeeze the play, confident in that he's not going to outrun their backline. Heck, don't even remember him winning too many headers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 If we play Cesc and Matic in the middle Fellaini is going to cause us some really problems because neither are good enough to trouble him in the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laylabelle 9,546 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 The problem with us and bus parking is you know 90th minute they'll score...again.We need to play decent again for the last few games and hopefully it will be the game..otherwise be a long 90 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was constantly on the move against Stoke last week, stretching their defence and creating space for others to exploit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,996 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Hate to add to the negativity in here but I can honestly see us getting totally bossed in midfield in this one with the form Fabregas and Matic are in. Fellaini, Carrick, Herrera all in fantastic form. Even fucking Ashley Young has been great lately and will probably destroy Ivanovic who will inevitably play even though he's been abysmal for ages now.We know United are weak in defense from wide areas but you know Luis will be parked on the bench being wasted. Like Jason said, if Remy can't go we're fucked here. We need pace, movement, and runs in behind from our striker, none of which Drogba has. If this were at Old Trafford I'd say we might get hammered in this form we're in. I trust José to get at least a point at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hull city dominated us ffs and they are vastly inferior to Utd who are bang in form.Hull outplayed us in some minutes, not the all game.. but off course if we'll play like vs Hull or today, United will dominate the match. I just dont think it will happen in the Bridge in a big game against them. City did it but City played well in the middle of tha park, when they're playing well they're better and more dominant than this United imo. United doesnt have the quality in midfield to control this kind of game for 60-90 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyalBlues 4,050 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 If Costa could stay fit for this one, I bet I won't hear half of negativity in here. So, I think the problem is not that you are fear of MU, but you are lack of confidence with your team.Cheers up people, Jose's record against big teams is not a coincidence.
