Hopefully we win, but a 0-0 or a 1-1 would hardly surprise.
We've just been really poor since 2017.

Great post! :applause:Wow, so many moaning, whinging "supporters" on here the last few days (weeks, months, years ...) So many sour posts of doom & gloom; I think I'm gonna slit my wrists, ... feck!
Like the world owes you a team that wins every friggin' game, plays beautiful attractive football every g'dam match, yet is still aggressive & bold all the time, taking shit from no one and oh yeah, every player is an unbreakable superstar. You're dreamin'!
I've got news for ya; "life ain't like that" not often anyway. I will remind you we've been way more fortunate that most in that regard, just not right now!
Let's just face it, our current "United", is a team in progress. Playing a much better, watchable style and creating more good chances than we've seen in a few long years now and we;ve remained largely unbeaten 'cause we're still hard to score against apparently.
No, not every game but most, and usually against teams that are only interested in just getting a point. And certainly not coming to entertain anybody in the stadium or at home for that matter, (even though "entertaining" is how they supposedly generate money & personal income ... through TV "entertainment" compensation; they don't care, they just know that it's very possible to get a point and maybe (but rarely) all 3, because we don't have all the pieces yet. And if they DO lose, they can say the were "expected" to lose. The top 6 all face a similar battle, but there's still "Only One United" and teams across the globe cherish a point here at any cost.
All that said, we still have enough talent & where-with-all to kill most teams who play any type of "open" game against us and again I recognise not all teams; and yes, I admit there are teams better than us, some only very slightly, and a few considerably so, but over all we still have a top side. Hard to beat and still in with a slight chance of a top 4 finish; not likely, but the fat lady hasn't started to clear her throat yet.
But it's also a team with a reasonable chance of European hardware this year, despite some untimely injuries & suspensions and a feck of a schedule, we're still favoured by many to win it!
But hey, that's football, that's what makes us happy and can make us sad (or pissed) and I get that, but feck me the I'm tired of all the "Shite, I'm sick of watching this mess every week" That bull shit serves no useful purpose. "Don't wanna watch" ... then "don't feckin' watch". And please spend a little less time moaning about it on the caf and a little more talking up what we do well (even if it's not much) or focus on what certain players do well. Try it for a change, you might feel better.
So what are we to do, commit hari-kari? No! Here's to a little more "support" & a little less "manc" depression. (c'mon, that's funny)
Back to football; On the bright side, Jose is learning who he trusts and who can do the job ...
I think Jose believes (and I think I agree) our best team at the moment has to include DDG obviously, and has Valencia, Rojo, Bailly & Young as the back four. (Young has earned that spot imo) Will Shaw get a chance or two - perhaps, but if fit, it sounds like Young & Blind will get the nod in the most important games from here on in.
Carrick can still play an important role in front of the back four, despite his lack of pace & mobiliyu but he desperately needs players with speed & quickness in front of him, Herrrera & Ideally Pogba answer that call but his (Pogs) absence, then Mkhi needs to help create space & openings so the likes of Ibra & the "kids" can get on the ball and (try to) finish.
Unfortunately even though they train with Ibra, the young lads still still lack the noos, experience, know-how, whatever you want to call it to get the job done often enough, yet but they will just have to keep trying!
So, cut to the chase; our best attacking, yet stingy 11 is
---------------DDG---------------
Tony----Bailly------Rojo----Ashley
-------------Carrick---------------
-------Mkhi------Ander-----------
Marcus----------------Anthony---
------------Ibra-------------------
Rooney, Lingard & Fellaini will all have a role to play, and may start against the toffees & some others during the run-in. But those 14 plus Pogba can beat what is a slightly weakened Everton line up, (as well as every team they may face in Europe) especially with no Coleman at LB. That'll be a particularly big miss for them blues. Lukacu depends on those crosses.
I'm just sayin!
Another draw....
Need the 3 points here. Chelsea next aint we?
Everton will show more ambition then those Baggies so i think we'll score one or two.
------------------------------------De Gea-------------------------------------
Valencia--------------------Bailly-----------Rojo-------------------------Blind
-----------------------------Herrera---------Pogba----------------------------
Mkhitaryan-------------------------Rooney-----------------------------Martial

If we keep Lukaku quiet and Zlatan plays well we should be good
Ah, the old 4-2-3-1-2 formation. Why don't more teams play that?
What.. We play Rooney and then his clone as well.. Pretty scary thought thatProbably as 13 players isn't legal?
I can almost guarantee Mkhitaryan won't start this match today. He seems to be one of those who if he has one bad game, Mourinho will lose a bit of faith in him.
He had some bad games and still started after thatI can almost guarantee Mkhitaryan won't start this match today. He seems to be one of those who if he has one bad game, Mourinho will lose a bit of faith in him.
0-0 written all over it.
That's worrying, about our only consistent out-field performer that was still available for selection.No Valencia in the squad against Everton.
Source?No Valencia in the squad against Everton.
We might get an actual wake up call.Reading the comments here, you could almost think that we're losing every other game. Imagine if we actually start to lose games
God I hated that game. I just knew we lost the title after the 4-4.
But we actually didn't play Wigan next. We already played them and lost. Then we just had to not lose vs City like you mentioned, but we just lost our way.
Martial won't start tonight imo, not my choice but what I feel.
Haha same here.United is like a bloody drug! Last match I swore I would not watch another PL match this season Now I'm ready and confident they'll beat Everton
