Sure everyone is hoping for the much needed win, but in all fairness the way they are playing gives little confidence at present

Just hope they can suddenly turn it around with a great performance, but so many players out of confidence or just lost their form not expecting it.....

We can all see it so that means Wenger can as well so he will know just what to say to motivate them, lift them out of this slump & lead us to glorious victory. He doesn't get 8 mil a year for nothing.

Exactly. I've been expecting us to wake up out of our coma every week since the debacle at St. Mary's and each week it's the same lethargic disinterested dross that's served up. I'm not expecting much change on Sunday but united are so poor at the moment that even our mediocre best may be enough....just.

We haven't played well really since City in mid-December.

We simply have to beat a utd team minus rooney, who loves to score against us and hopefully de gea. We need to find our goalscoring boots, Sunday will be a great day to do it.

Stick around the city centre and get the train to the ground, easy enough and return was under a tenner for the FA Cup game IIRC. Piccadilly Tavern is ok for food and two minutes from the station but if away fans start singing in there they stop serving and kick you out, there's another pub a minute (literally) along that road though that doesn't mind away fans.[/quote]

Cheers Rob - are you going?

You mean The Brunswick. At one time it used to be the haunt of Citys support, who would always be very polite and ask you the time when you came out of the station :box: :lol:

Martial is not playing in United's match tonight as he has pulled a hamstring in the warm up. I don't know how bad is is or if he will play on Sunday.

Doesn't really matter does it?? He hasn't exactly been pulling up trees over there. I've just got that sickening feeling, the way we have been playing the last 2 months, that no matter who they put out there........ :( :(

When you haven't won a league game at a ground in nearly 10 years, and you posses zero bottle, then it's hard to be confident of us winning. We couldn't beat Chelsea when they were giving away points for fun, so I expect this to be similar. The fact is that in league games against them with Moyes and van Gaal as manager, we have P5, W1(Home this season), L2, and D2.

Typically they start to show a bit of form just before meeting us, we'll win though :barscarf:

Hardly showing a return to form. They beat a 4th tier team equivalent at home. Even then it wasn't as easy as the scoreline suggests.
