[@kurtpunchesthings2411]

I think that's really it. It's a given city will have the lionshare of possession What United have to do is take their chances when they come and think towards either sneaking a 1-0 win, maybe similar to Wigan 2013 or a 2-1 win

[@jims9438]

I didn't watch the game from the kick off but as soon as I saw the line up I thought back to Gary saying pack the midfield with McTominay, Amrabat, Mainoo and Fernandes with Rashford and Garnacho upfront. Having Varane and Martinez at centre back was a massive boost as well. What a great result 👏

[@joshuajonas6946]

Love the analysis! But what about starting Amrabat next to Casemiro for back 4 cover. Mainoo as our 8 for added steal and Bruno in a false nine, Garnacho and Amad up top. And sub on Rashford and Hojlund on tired legs.

[@Literallyme1234]

You're giving City too much control

[@adenihunadewale9214]

Mainoo too slow,united should play for penalty,use 5-4-1

[@joshuajonas6946]

@Literallyme1234 lol, they're going to have control anyway. We have never controlled a game against then with this team. At least with my suggestion, United can contain the pressure and counter effectively.

[@joshuamericannoordin9339]

Wow almost a similiar goal just the finishing 5:58

[@theemotionalremix]

On the ball, Man United have been utterly outclassed in both their games vs City this year. I swear their only hope is to park the bus and counter attack.

[@adenihunadewale9214]

Lol, against all determined teams we've faced this season

[@joshuajonas6946]

Pack the middle and counter with pace. 3-1 United. I hope 🙏🏽 😅

[@joshuajonas6946]

@@adenihunadewale9214 sounds good to me, but do you trust rashford right now to defend from the front?

[@thebiglebrowski3695]

​@@joshuajonas6946I wouldn't want him to. Conserve all of his energy for blistering runs on the counter. Don't even track back. Stand on the halfway line and run every time we get the ball. Let the other 10 players defend while he cheats on defence. It isn't like an attacker is ever particularly great at defending anyway.

[@ericcantona1587]

problem with this analysis is that you think Man united will actually have the ball. If united over load the midfield with 2 up front then the wing backs have to press more agressively. This would leave the 2 CBs open to a steaming on Foden and Haaland. If united try to play posession in the middle they are going to get hit with long balls and i honestly doubt the still-recovering centre backs to be able to handle Haaland at his strength. Not to mention Doku. That guy is a menace. IMO united have to play a 4-5-1. Casemiro, Bruno, garnacho, Amad, Mainoo. Rashford up top. Make Garnacho amad and rashford tire the centre backs. Bring on Hojlund, Antony, eriksen in the second half. This is going to need a 9/10 perfomance from every united player to have a 50/50 game.

I love how the first chart shows Man city's points won against the big 6. What i love about it is how Man united didnt even make the chart 😂. Which means the argument with the chart is kinda pointless to me, since City isnt playing top 6 team on saturday

[@barnesy2013ify]

The only way Man Utd win, is if Man City play really bad and Utd have 1 of their rare good performances 🤷‍♂️

[@marcusnguginganga2829]

three ways united can be city 1. Get in touch with Doc and Marty from back to the future go back in time and recruit the '99 team - this still isn't guaranteed. 2. Find a genuine genie in a lamp and wish for a win 3. kidnap the whole man city team before kick off, not sure the legal ramifications here

[@vLoneXThuG]

you were right man

[@mjthefootballtouch8226]

I thought you said hojlund of bench would be a good option given that defensive positions shall be tired

[@SimpForLatinas]

Garry always backs Rashford to cause problems to defenders. I just dont know why, unless he gets lucky deflection while running against defenders brainlessly or hoping for them to slip and fall, i dont see a way Rashy can get better rating than 6/10. I'd love for him to have a good game, but he's clearly not in the right mental place, something he needs to fix and until then will be a liability only relying on past moments. Will go back to this comment and see tho.

[@kurtpunchesthings2411]

It would be like rashford to have 1 freak game where everything just goes his way and scores 1-2 goals

[@omidrone1949]

[@Freakinawesome333]

0:45 This graphic doesn't make sense. Villa, Wolves and West Ham played 12 games against the big six while the other teams shown played 10, since they are part of the big six and can't play against themselves. It should be points per game, which would put Chelsea 4th above Wolves and City 2nd ahead of Villa.

[@Jrad28]

1. Show up an hour early 2. Score 3 goals during those 60 minutes. 3. Pray that United can hold on and it goes to penalties.
