On a more serious note, I hope we make them work for it. So many people writing us off at 4/5 nil win for City which is nonsense. We're not f**king Huddersfield.

Really want to see Mooy start this one playing in a central midfield 3 alongside Stephens and Propper, with Trossard playing a free role behind Maupay.
I’ve got a real sneeky feeling we might get something today ! UTA !

I hope we get a result that ensures we're shown last on MOTD.
A painful 1-0 win will do.

To Hughton's credit, we weren't a disgrace against the big teams...aside from Liverpool who cut through us like butter, but they have one of the fastest counter attacks in Europe. The measure for me is reconconciling Potter's approach with damage limitation with giving us half a chance of nicking a goal. This was Hughton's strength. Today is the first real test of the new approach with that challenge.

For the first time since we have been a Premier League team I am actually looking forward to seeing us play a top two team away from home. It could all go cricket score but I feel that at least we will give ourselves a chance, however small. Not settle for a narrow defeat as an achievement before a ball is kicked

No no and thrice no. Been there done it, dull dull dull
An exciting 1-0 is acceptable though
Sorry if I’m misinterpreted your post and the 1-0 refers to us winning but surely that would ensure first up on MOTD?

My edit to a more up-to-date pic failed.
They're planning to do the other end too, which will increase the capacity to 63,000 making it the second biggest club ground in the UK... and in Manchester.
So steep!

Yes, it was us to win.
A win for City would definitely be up near the start of the programme.
A thrashing by City would be first up.
Little BHA winning painfully against one of the BBC's favourite teams would surely be an embarrassment and hidden away near the end.
I agree, I don't want painful football but I think we've got to accept we're going to have it dished up a few times this season. This game is likely to be one of those times.

I'm struggling to see anything other than a shellacking today.
The way we have played in the first three games leaves us very susceptible to the counter attack. Unfortunately, City are apparently quite good on the counter...
I am however quite looking forward to the game. I think the way we play will give us our best chance so far of getting a positive result but the flip side is I think it greatly increases our chances of an absolute whooping too.

Why can't we have two managers?

Judging by the odds this could be a record breaking score against us double figures perhaps

That's an urban myth, put about (I suspect) by City supporters jealous of the coaches from all over the country that thronged the car parks around Old Trafford.

I can't see passst a lost tbh, just hope it's not embarrassing and we make them work for the win.
My fear is an early goal for them and the flood gates open.
Why are people thinking we can get a result? Genuine question.

No chance! If we were to get any kind of result up there it would obviously be huge - however we achieved it - and we'd absolutely be up first or second depending on other results.
