Did Valencia pick up an injury?
You guys should get the MUFC app. Valencia is rested because of his knee injury and the artificial turf.Think the article says that he hasn't traveled to away legs recently.
I don't think Lingard travelledExpecting this now :
DDG
Dalot - Smalling - Lindelof - Shaw
Fred - Matic - Pogba
Lingard - Lukaku - Rashford
Should be good enough to grab a win.
He didn't ? Weird, but that means another 90 minutes of Mata stinking the fecking place in RW.I don't think Lingard travelled
You never know. They might decide to turn up and play the game of their lives.DDG
Valencia Smalling Lindelof Shaw
Matic Fred
Rashford Pogba Sanchez
Lukaku
They will obviously sit back and defend so we need Fred's creativity in midfield more than the physical presence of Fellaini.
Yep.Is Herrera fit?
Last loss at home was November 2017. Players like Pogba need to turn up and focus.understand they have a good record at home.
Martial is definitely not starting.Mourinho on Rashford said:He’s selected but I just want to remind you we can only start with 11 so when you see the team you could try to speak about the ones that are going to play and not the ones that are not going to play.
Agree - I;'d expect Jose to start Matic.Jose never rotates much. Expect to see Matic start this one especially as he can't play the next league game.
Valencia wont be played - confirmed by Jose due to the pitch.Very informative post, thank you.
They do pose a threat it seems and I agree with others on here that we should not treat it like it like an easy league cup game. Best we go for as strong a team as possible and only rotate those with injury niggles.
My preferred line-up would be:
De Gea
Valencia, Smalling, Lindelof, Young
Fred, Matic, Pogba
Rashford, Lukaku, Sanchez
I'd have Shaw and Fellani and the bench due to the injury niggles from the international break, while Rashford gets the nod due to his domestic suspension after a good brace of games for England.
Part of me is also tempted to try another Def Mid instead of Matic, in prep for the weekend. Under that scenario, I'd move Matic to CB instead of Lindelof and bring Perreira or Mctom into midfield
I think Jose may have said he actually played on the one tonight, describing it as awful.Im assuming Fred has come across artificial pitches during his time in Ukraine?
We have an abundence of CBs, but not many that are fit or in a level of form that Jose can trust. Of our 5 CBs, only Smalling is reliable, with two others being sick notes and the other two shakeyValencia wont be played - confirmed by Jose due to the pitch.
We have an abundance of CB's without playing midfielders there.
Jose will go solid throughout - I'd expect Matic to start, Fellaini also. Smalling/Lindelof to remain.
Due to Valencia not playing and Dalot not quite being fit for a start, that leaves Young as our RB which means for me Shaw will play.
I'd like us to mix it up, get Periera/McTom involved but Jose is Jose, he wont tinker too much. Herrera/Mata likely to come off the bench
Yeah, there are both artificial and hybrid pitches here in the Ukraine. As I understand the one in Bern is artificial; seems a ltb weird, one would think that a Swiss team could afford a hybrid pitch:Im assuming Fred has come across artificial pitches during his time in Ukraine?
Since November 2017, they have not faced anyone anywhere near the calibre of Manchester United (not basel, only beat United and city in meaningless games, got thrashed otherwise).Last loss at home was November 2017. Players like Pogba need to turn up and focus.
My girlfriend just asked where they are from.
I started to google it, but then stopped and thought, oh wait...
Sir, we have been looking at your browsing history and a red flag was raised for us investigate.That fecking name... Put "YB vs Man Utd" in my Google calendar as I didn't want "young boys" in my history.
This is an interesting way to look at the game/results. You are right - once the familiar names started appearing on our team sheet, the results have got better.I like Fred and Periera but I don’t think it’s a coincidence we’ve looked better when the more familiar players came in. I’d be intrigued, excited and worried about Dalot starting all at once.
So do the fans of young boys find it strange? Do they realise how odd their club name sounds?.
Can you imagine 30,000 fans all singing "we love you young boys, we do"
I agree put him on the bench and try to give him 15/20 at the end but he should start the league cup match next week.If Dalot has just got over a knee injury I doubt he would play on an artificial pitch in case he aggravates it again, so expecting Young at RB, Darmian seems to be right out of things just now.
