I can't believe Man U have to go long ball to fellani against Preston North end - I mean their attacking cost more than pne's entire club! And they score a lucky goal
Actually think we can beat them IF everyone is putting a shift in and working hard off the ball. If we play like we did against Spurs, we'll lose comfortably.
United won't press us like Spurs did, so I can't see us being as bad on the ball as were against Spurs. We need to use the same tactics as we did against City, defend in numbers and break quicky.
It does not matter how bad Manure are... They will always beat us. It is called Okafor's law... If you are the first to do a chick, you will always have a chance!
Arsenal have been playing better than United. And United have often been poor against average sides. LVG will know how to play Arsenal. Arsenal is a top side and united players will be fully gee'd up for their visit. Somehow I feel this is a good draw for us (almost as good as drawing the RS at home)
Hopefully we are as up and geared for it as well, like against City, if we are, it will be another good win in Manchester.
For us, I'm confident we are going to beat you and knock you out, everything comes to an end eventually, and we are finally owed something against you, and I'm sure the boys will be up for it and will want to prove it, like they did VS City. Hopefully it leads to another meltdown at United just like the last time we knocked you out of the cup at Old Trafford in 2003, with the whole Fergie-Beckham bust up.
I didn't say you owe us anything, we owe it to ourselves, and we will finally do it, our record is so bad, and that is what will spur the motivation-drive from the players, as they did VS City....There's not going to much said to motivate them, their the defending their trophy, against a rival United who had the best of us over the past few years, that's all the motivation you need. I wanted United in the next round, preferably at the Emirates, but hey beating and knocking you out at Old Trafford will make it more juicy now and more meaningful. As I said, I am confident we will do it, everything comes to an end eventually, and our terrible record against you can't go on forever. We shall prevail over you. As for getting nothing, once we beat you, you'll be ending the season with nothing, again for the second year in a row. ;-). I'm liking this new era at United.
It's ****ing annoying that the one game we most likely won't win is the game we end up getting. But the hoodoo needs to end at some point. It can't keep going on forever. Hopefully we have a fully fit squad to choose from.
Maybe the one you were owed by the players came against City? Either way it should be a good game, i must say i am not confident (in any game we play at the moment) but feel we tend to play better against the better sides.
To move onto the next levels, we have to overcome our hoodoos, we started that last year by winning the cup, then we finally broke our **** record in the big games and away from home by beating City, now we will have to break another one by beating United, and slowly but surely all those hoodoos one by one will be unlocked and our players shall be free like doves.
