Romero
Dalot Jones Smalling Young
Tuanzebe Fred
Lingard Gomes James
Greenwood​

things are looking bleak for Smalling I guess. Fewest minutes of any CB this summer (apart from Bailly obviously) and again Rojo over him.

Disappointed to see Gomes sidelined. Hard to see why he isn't getting the chances that others are - he has looked excellent to me in the short time he has been on the pitch.

Rojo can play LCB and Smalling pushes Lindelof into LCB when they play together, simple as that.

He said the line up today will start

So Maguire in for Rojo
Pogba in for Matic
Bruno in for Andreas
Dyballa in for Mata

Why the feck is Rojo getting minutes ahead of Tuanzebe and Mata getting minutes ahead of Greenwood/Gomes?

We all know what Mata and Rojo can offer - not very much. Give the younger lads a run out as this is the last chance to impress before the league starts. It must be frustrating for them.

Rojo will hopefully be sold so why are we even wasting any minutes on him?

Stupid decisions.

Our midfield is so very limited.
your midfield? We don't have a single starter out there today, we're forced to use Borini as our LCM haha!

Krunic wouldve likely started, but he isn't fully fit after an injury either, and will come on later in the match.

Anyways... final post of the day (that I'm allowed)... so good luck and hope we both escape sans injury!

Surprise, surprise, the attack is horribly unbalanced yet again :rolleyes: We aren't getting anywhere near top 4 with garbage team selections such as this :mad:

Ole doesn't do himself any favours, especially after last season's "You will not see some of players play for United again" quote and then always playing all the usual dross.

Interesting line up. Do we reckon it's a diamond or one of Mata or Pereira on the right of a 4-2-3-1?
Looks like a diamond but will probably be Andreas on the right. I'd like to see the diamond again.

Did people always used to get this wound up about line ups for friendly games? Or is it a recent phenomenon?

Either way its a bit weird... These games mean literally nothing.

Our midfield still needs work. We need a DM.
Easily my biggest concern this season. Matic looked like a guy with a 40 fag a day habit at times last season. He's the clear weak link.

That's usually true but Ole himself said today's team will be very close to what we put out against Chelsea.

It's last game of pre season, our starting XI against Chelsea should be very similar and honestly it's a shite team.
