[Drifter]

If we can't beat a Newcastle team that is pure dogshit, there really is no hope for us.
I want us to win convincingly...then sack the miserable one.

Yeah right.

 

[duffer]

How many of you lot want to drop points today to hasten Jose's departure?

Be honest, no judgement (from me anyway, you'll get roasted by others but who cares).

He'll be gone regardless. I want us to win.

if BBC is to be believed, 3-0 home loss and pogba sitting down in the goal for 90 mins doesn't even seem to be enough.

Everyone should watch pogba today (if he's not dropped because Jose is in yolo mode). I doubt he even breaks out of a light jog today.

Never want United to lose. They seem to be fecking it perfectly well without us wanting them to lose.

 

[MikeKing]

Newcastle has 2 points and we are playing at home. We surely won't lose this. If we win, i hope to see some relief or happiness, celebration, just anything positive. Tired of feeling shit after watching us

 

[SER19]

....................De Gea....................

...Dalot...Smalling...Bailly......Shaw...

....................Fellaini.................
.............Pereira......Fred............

.....Rashford....................Pogba...
.....................Lukaku............

 

[sunama]

If we lose this. I won't have much to say.
Newcastle are pretty awful.

If Jose has already agreed to leave, then I'd love him to cut the shackles and just have us play without any restrictions. Just tell the players to attack as much as they want and can. Score as many goals as possible.

 

[MuFc_1992]

If I were mourhino, I'd go with a team full of players loyal to him. I don't know whether it's possible to make out a reasonable XI of players who will play for him but that must be the only option he has left now although it's debatable whether he wants to survive instead of just getting a big fat payoff for failing.

 

[Minimalist]

Still think he’s going after the match regardless of the debate going on. He knows he’s done.

Can’t imagine it’ll be a good match today.

If he is fighting for his job, I agree.
But what if he has already agreed to leave, by mutual consent?

Going by the most extensive reports I've seen that would mean no De Gea, Valencia, Bailly, Pogba, Herrera, Mata, Martial or Sanchez I think? Maybe throw Lindelof, Shaw, Perreira and Rashford in with that group for safety.

I think we could just about field a team without them in a Christmas tree formation.

Romero
Dalot - Jones - Smalling - Young
Fred - Matic - McTominay
Lingard - Fellaini
Lukaku​

What a thing of beauty.

But who are loyal to him ? and the ones that are,how many are we talking about ?
I just think there is a divide between the management and the players now that cannot be patched over with Jose at the helm.

I think players are fed-up with his negative demeanour around the club,fed-up with his constant snipes at their playing abilities which is hardly good for team morale and are just generally fed-up with the restrictions in their play.

There is no collective thought showing through at United.All the big factors seem to want to go off in different directions.
All seem to see United through a different lens.

 

[Catt]

We got this. 4-0 to United.

 

[Drifter]

2-0 And a convincing performance.

 

[BrianMcClair'sBarnet]

My starting 11 today goes:
DDG

Baily
Smalling
Young
Shaw

Pogba
Fellaini
Matic

Mata
Lukaku
Martial

 

[BrianMcClair'sBarnet]

My prediction.
Manchester United 1 Newcastle United 0
Goal:Martial
Red card for Newcastle.

 

[sunama]

My prediction.
Manchester United 1 Newcastle United 0
Goal:Martial
Red card for Newcastle.

That's very precise.

 

[el3mel]

I can't believe the players will be able to play with all this shite around.

My prediction is we'll lose 1-0 and Mourinho will leave "on mutual consent" tomorrow.

 

[Jazz]

If Valencia isn't playing does that mean Dalot starts? Or is he going to use Ashley Young?

That's what I'm wondering. The mental part for an athlete is extremely important.

 

[Damien]

I thought it'd be Dalot but MEN seem adamant it'll be Young. Young posted a graphic on his Instagram story yesterday about the game but can't remember if he does it when he's not playing. I know Fred and Andreas tend to do one every game.

Oh I just saw that from MEN. Disappointing. What has he got to lose by playing the lad? Ah well.

 

[Catt]

2-0 And a convincing performance.

Yeah, I think we'll see a very good performance too.

 

[BrianMcClair'sBarnet]

That's very precise.

Its how I roll,for todays game.

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Scrap the three man midfield. Go with a 4411.

 

[glazed]

If Jose drops Lukaku and Pogba, he's basically saying to Ed 'fire me or I will make you fire me.' Will be very interesting to see selection.

 

[BrianMcClair'sBarnet]

He can drop Lukaku,that's fine by me.

 

[Charles Miller]

1-0 and awful football.

 

[Rednotdead]

I want us to win but not for Mourinho - I want him gone.

 

[Yagami]

Scrap the three man midfield. Go with a 4411.

I kinda want something similar in a 4-2-2-2. Like how we played against Chelsea at home last year if you remember that?

 

[UncleBob]

Can't imagine that Lukaku will be benched

 

[mitchmouse]

Newcastle have manged to be worse than us, which is quite some feat at the moment. Anything more than a big win (at least three and more like four or five) isn't good enough although Jose is in a lose-lose position in this one. any player made to look poor by Newcastle shouldn't think about playing for us again

 

[Pace Abuser]

De Gea Romero
Young Valencia Smalling Jones Bailly Shaw
Matic Fellaini Lindelof
​

Hard to beat.

 

[Ban]

Hope Mourinho will go on a high.

 

[jymufc20]

Can't imagine that Lukaku will be benched

Who is saying that he will ?

 

[The Cat]

Really want to see Dalot play today

 

[UncleBob]

Who is saying that he will ?

It was more a general statement, I see quite a few don't have him in their preferred starting lineups

 

[DomesticTadpole]

16:06
The squad have arrived
So far here’s the players we’ve seen arriving:

De Gea

Smalling, Bailly, Lindelof, Shaw, Young

McTominay, Mata, Fellaini, Pogba, Fred, Pereira

Lukaku, Sanchez, Rashford,

Hope there are more than that.

Anything professional looking whether it's photos or graphics is just a social media team. I doubt it means much, unless they have very specific instructions. It does sound like he's gonna be playing though. Shame if so over Dalot.
