After losing Zlatan, we're down to 2 men that can play as #9, Rooney and Rashford. So Rooney's gonna have to play some games to rest Rashford and I'd rather it's against Burnley than against City.And i would rather keep rooney on the bench.

Well done for quoting my post from immediately after the last match finished. Yeah, that was before he wasn't seen with the squad yesterday. The team I submitted didn't have him in (Darmian and Young).So obvious.
We'll see, Burnley will surely attack, not sit deep the whole time and I hope there won't be a huge panic with Blind in the side.That is crazy talk! Darmian isn't even a particularly good full back, let alone centre back. Burnley are going to park the bus and won't offer much going forward, so Blind's passing skills will be useful. I would play Blind, Tuanzebe, TFM or Carrick at centre back before I even considered Darmian.
So obvious.
It was obvious as soon as the last game finished imo. He looked knackered during extra time.Well done for quoting my post from immediately after the last match finished. Yeah, that was before he wasn't seen with the squad yesterday. The team I submitted didn't have him in (Darmian and Young).
Nothing incredible about it. Our first 11 need protecting for the Europa now it's pretty obvious.
Not surprised. It's not easy to play 120 minutes and lead the line alone for last 20 minutes. He was clearly knackered.
MD06: Liverpool 5:1 Hull CityHow many times has a team scored 5 or 6 in a PL match this season? I think those days are past us, except for perhaps one freak match a season.
Not that surprising considering he played 2 hours on Thursday night and the derby is in four days.
Yep.MEN are usually useless at guessing the line up prior to it coming out aren't they?
Why are journalist so dumb these days?
I would agree with it.
Fair enough!MD06: Liverpool 5:1 Hull City
MD08: Bournemouth 6:1 Hull City
MD11: Chelsea 5:0 Everton
MD11: Liverpool 6:1 Watford
MD13: Swansea City 5:4 Crystal Palace
MD14: Tottenham Hotspur 5:0 Swansea City
MD14: West Ham United 1:5 Arsenal
MD24: Everton 6:3 Bournemouth
Try 8
No chance of us scoring 5 or 6 away to Burnley though.
Oh, I remember now. I just don't think jose will trust him yet against City.Didn't Jose say he was happy with Shaw but mentioned something about leg cramps? I thought Shaw would be a bench option.
Agreed - a wall of cotton is what's needed here.Rashford needs to be wrapped in cotton wall so the right decision
When he broke the record?When was last time Rooney started a game?
I'm wondering the same.Why are journalist so dumb these days?
Let's agree to disagree then. I think we are watching different playersDefensively he's better imo. Blind at CB can be all over the place sometimes. Also, Blind being a better fullback, I'd say they're on par.
I agree that rashford might need a rest but i would rather see martial start up top.After losing Zlatan, we're down to 2 men that can play as #9, Rooney and Rashford. So Rooney's gonna have to play some games to rest Rashford and I'd rather it's against Burnley than against City.
Well glad I changed my predicted line-up on time then.MEN saying that Rashford and Mkhitaryan both on bench.
Possibly, but going from how they've performed against the top six this season it'll be more difficult than we think. Think Jose may even play a weakened team with one eye on the derby next week.
Here are their home results vs. top 10 opposition - they've given them close games:
Burnley 2-0 Liverpool
Burnley 0-1 Arsenal (conceded a last minute handball goal)
Burnley 2-0 Watford
Burnley 2-1 Everton
Burnley 1-2 Man City
Burnley 1-1 Chelsea
Burnley 1-0 Southampton
Burnley 0-2 Spurs
They haven't conceded more than two goals at home all season.
I'd be very wary of this tie, looks easier on paper than it is.
Can't remember when that wasWhen he broke the record?
yup.Let's agree to disagree then. I think we are watching different players
It's easy to write crap and get paid nowadays. No brains needed for that.Why are journalist so dumb these days?
