I'm afraid of Smalling vs Dolberg tbh, but will we can't change anything. Let's hope he's up to it for once.Smalling.
Penalty in the cup semis last year.
Red card in the final.
He scares me.

Get out.2-1 Ajax I reckon
You're god damn right!We'll bend them over and spank them like a lil bitch! Go United!!
I agree, but it's a gamble in Mourinho terms. Lingard will do more in terms of tracking back and disrupting play. He's not as good, but he's a work horse.I find it strange that this is considered to be a gamble. Or a shock. I understand why, I just find it a little silly.
Lingard is faster but Mata is better (comfortably) at almost everything else you'd want in an attacking sense. By playing Lingard instead we would be weakening the team.
It's never too late to start.It's on nights like this I wish I had taken up drinking.
Expect a lot of 11/11.11/11
This thread is a mix of excitement, nerves, optimism and negativity to name a few. Ya gotta love footballI feel sick already.
A sign of the future?Valencia captain.
Smalling compliments Blind more than Jones. Smalling can be clumsy at times, but he's better in the air than Jones for me.Don't get Smalling over Jones, other then that it looks good
Third, the luckiest! He will score from corner kick!Smalling.

BlueWhat colour we playing in?
ThanksBlue
Hopefully. Lingard does have a good record in these games too though. Could just be for experience as much as anything else. Though Mata is better at keeping the ball, and usually more clinical in front of goal.If Mata's back to full fitness I think it could give us the cutting edge in front of goal we so badly need. He usually works hard in big games, too, so I don't think it's as much a defensive risk.
That is my main concern. Baily is a beast, what makes the stupidity on the end of the game worst...Bailly's suspension is mightier than we thought it would be. Blind was the worst player on the pitch against Celta & Smalling has declined(perhaps the worst defender in the whole of Greater Manchester area).
Jose could do with his hair and smile too. And hugs of course.Tweet

"I need Mata's brain" says Jose Mourinho
We've scored 1, maybe 2, goals from a set piece this season, we are awful at them..Ehm...maybe because they will give us a HUGE advantage on OUR set-pieces ?
It's nothing to do with hate, that's just a lazy crutch his fanboys use. Ajax are a good footballing team, fielding a player that can't do anything with the ball on the floor and is hugely susceptible to the press is not good idea, especially not when the only reason to play him is a lump ball tactic that we barely ever benefit from.Your hate for Fellaini will just make you refuse to see anything I counter.
Fellaini is our best outlet for getting these passes down, and then can easily pass them on to Pogba.
Pogba simply can't do the same job that Fellaini will be doing as well.
Would imagine Herrera's is worse, at least this season?Huh, I didn't know 'very good disciplinary record' meant worst in our team.
meh, I had Jones instead Smalling.Expect a lot of 11/11.
An own goal?Third, the luckiest! He will score from corner kick!
It was Fosu Mensah who gave away the pen in FA Cup Semis last year. Although Smalling scares me also, he looks a nervous wreck in a league game God knows how he'll do in a European Final.Smalling.

Away from that, does he basically says by this that Lingard is brainless ?Jose could do with his hair and smile too. And hugs of course.
