Mikra I agree as tired as Bony maybe he will satrt with Michu behind him. If I was offered the draw now I would bite their arm off. 1 - 1
Trunds, I would usually agree with this but United have never dominated us at this level. Games have been close and, in my opinion, had we had a decent run of the ball, been closer still in terms of results.
It might be a question of styles. United haven't come near, for instance, to displaying the superiority that Everton have shown against us. I know we will be playing a Moyles team again and he seems to know how to beat us, but balancing that is the loss of the Fergie factor and all which that implies such as ref's decisions etc.
It might come down to how well their players adapt to the requirements of the new manager. The change must have been disruptive and, add the fact that we have a slight head start in terms of competitive games and much more firepower up front than previously, we just might surprise them.
I know it is a cliche but we must believe in our ability. They are far from invincible and we are now a pretty useful outfit in our own right and playing on our own patch. So long as we match their work rate in midfield for the entire game, which I'm sure we will do with JJ in there, I think we'll be in with a chance of a win.
Of course they rightly start as favourites but they are notoriously slow starters and could come a cropper against us if we are on our game. Consequently, I would be prepared to forego the theoretical point and take my chances of grabbing all three. And that, I sincerely hope, is not the proverbial kiss of death for us.
