Scenes when Young scores the winner

 

[Name Changed]

Clearly Europa is the priority.

From today? It wasn't before.....

 

[manufanatic]

Personally if martial started over young and lingard played where big hair is I would be fine with the team. But either martial is injured or he is taking shaws place in the dog house

 

[Zoo]

Personally I would have given Rojo or Bailly a breather and played Blind at CB.

 

[MadMike]

He just had a three game ban after an international break.

Regardless, didn't he say he felt tired after the midweek game?

 

[SuperiorXI]

Nuts line up!

 

[AltiUn]

The state of our team, spicy.

 

[Freak]

I don't get all the hate. Rashford, Lingard and Young have been our most in-form attackers for a while. Mourinho's picked a team on merit rather than reputation.

Fellaini's in there as a spoiler to try and counteract Kante. Carrick's obviously a better player, but he'd get eaten up by Chelsea's midfield. There's a clear strategy to the XI.

Are you kidding me? Rashford, Lingard and Young couldn't score in a brothel let alone on the pitch even if you give them 100 chances to.

 

[el3mel]

9/11 for me in the predicted line-up , missing Zlatan and Mikhi , the 2 most players I was sure they will start

 

[Marcelinho87]

All those clamouring for Martial, have you even watched him? He has been pathetic and doesn't deserve to be anywhere near the lineup.

 

[Tom Van Persie]

People complain about Zlatan not getting rested. Zlatan admits he's tired so Jose rests him and yet people still complain. Rashford's pace troubled Chelsea a bit when we played them at the bridge in the FA Cup. Zlatan can come off the bench if we need him.

 

[ManUtd1999]

Real lineup please.

United: De Gea; Valencia, Bailly, Rojo, Darmian; Fellaini, Herrera; Young (c), Pogba, Lingard; Rashford.
Subs: Romero, Blind, Fosu-Mensah, Shaw, Carrick, Mkhitaryan, Ibrahimovic.

 

[Android1974]

We have a front three of Lingard, Young and Rashford... let that sink in. Average as can be.

A front two of Lingard and Rashford, mind you.

 

[Garethw]

That team is set up to not get beat. Negative bullshit.

 

[SkeppyRed]

Never thought I would see the day Manchester United would be parking the bus at Old Trafford.

Did you miss the 2008 CL semi final then?

 

[sunama]

To be fair, pace up front us probably the way to go Vs Chelsea and Zlatan will come on at some point

If pace is so important why haven't any of these pacey players scored lots of goals?
Even when Ibra was suspended, the promise of pace and lots of goals failed to materialise.
Based on the above, I must conclude that pace is over-rated.

 

[kps88]

Not even gonna bother watching. If we aren't even going to make an effort to win, why should I waste my time watching it?

SAF put out a weakened team against Chelsea when we were still in a title race. We lost, but it didn't mean we made no effort. We have to use the squad keeping in mind the amount of games we have coming up.

 

[AndyJ1985]

If Jose is going to rest players and put out shit lineups like that, why not give some young lads a debut?

 

[DWelbz19]

It's 2 players away from being our strongest team

Darmian, Fellaini, Young and Lingard make our strongest team?

 

[Cassidy]

Personally I would have given Rojo or Bailly a breather and played Blind at CB.

Clearly another one gone in the summer

 

[top1whoisman]

You should have a look at the numbers Young has put up in those three seasons if you think he's been inspirational or a leader at all.

Which numbers are the ones that describe his leadership? Don't find Rooney or Smalling any more "inspirational". Herrera is probably the only player I'd preferred to wear the captain's armband.

 

[NoLookPasser]

Where's the quote where he calls them defensive?

Look it up. He said a while ago when he said Chelsea would end up winning the League

 

[sunama]

No idea how but I got 9/11. Of my subs chosen, max I'll get is one point for Carrick if he comes on... Martial not in squad and Fellaini starts.

....and that is the most important thing about today

 

[Minimalist]

A low point post Ferguson: Ashley Young as captain in big home match.

Oh well. Guess we have to lump it these days.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Is Rooney still injured? He only mentioned that Mata was done for the season and that Smalling and Jones might return some time in May.

 

[Kag]

It's 2 players away from being our strongest team

It is? Because none of Shaw, Mkhitaryan, Martial or Carrick are in that team, so I'm finding this hard to believe. Nor Mata, either.

 

[salford_]

neville will find a way on comms to tell us that is the exact side hed have chosen

 

[Sassy Colin]

Extremely risky to throw everything in the Europa league basket

 

[AltiUn]

Starting Rashford up top who has only scored 4 in 25 games is a joke.

 

[Deleted member 101472]

No team in history has ever put what looks like a weakened lineup on the field and won a game in the history of sports.

Seriously may aswell lock this thread, the pessimism is contagious

 

[Djemba-Djemba]

Don't win today and top 4 is done.

Jose seems to have already thrown the towel in and is focusing on the Europa League which seems the sensible thing to be honest.

 

[MadMike]

State of this thread

State of that team.

 

[Glanville95]

What a shite team and Young as captain. Absolutely laughable. It's as if Jose's given up on top four already with that line-up. Should not be throwing in the towel already.

 

[witchtrials]

Sad that it's got to the point that we're waving the white flag to Chelsea so we can focus on Anderlecht.

 

[Philadelphian]

Lingard and Rashford will spend more time on the ground than on their feet causing any problems. Weak players. Bullshit team. Really embarrassing.

 

[Catt]

All those clamouring for Martial, have you even watched him? He has been pathetic and doesn't deserve to be anywhere near the lineup.

Apparently not because Martial will make things happen

 

[ManUtd1999]

No idea how but I got 9/11. Of my subs chosen, max I'll get is one point for Carrick if he comes on... Martial not in squad and Fellaini starts.

Sounds bad to me...

 

[Summit]

I see posts every week saying that top 4 is gone and we should be prioritising the EL to ensure CL football. Yet all I see is moaning when Jose does is fact prioritise the EL. Why?

 

[MDFC Manager]

That team is set up to not get beat. Negative bullshit.

Proper United manager is our Jose

 

[C3Pique]

Anyone expect I g anything other than an embarrassing loss without scoring is going to be sorely disappointed. I'm going 0-3, with them taking a foot off at 60 minutes.

For the world's most expensive squad that 11 is a disgrace.
