Happy with that line-up, a mix of very old and very young. I'd like to think the pressure to get a result has been taken off and they can work on establishing patterns of play and understanding on the pitch. It's very rare that I would rather see a decent overall level of performance and good games from particular players like Greenwood, Chong and Williams and see us just miss out today than sneak into the hat with a dreadful display. I'm at the point where I need to see something develop between our players.

Or maybe get more players in to rotate . It's the same for everyone

The whole of the PL has been heavily rotated today. The amount of football is having a knock on effect now on the FA cup.

Most major leagues only have one cup competition for starters.

 

[Devil may care]

Interesting line-up, Ole clearly has an eye on the City game which is fair enough.

 

[Paul_Scholes18]

Bit of a daft comparison seeing as they've got twice the amount of quality players as us.



Port Vale I mean.

True I guess. They got Aguero, Jesus, Mahrez, Sterling, Sane, Bernardo Silva for the attack. We got Martial, Rashford, James and Greenwood.

I hope they start with Jesus against us though over Aguero. Since Aguero plays today I would guess that they will play Jesus against us.

Yeah the problem is that we have lost far too many players without getting replacements. That is just stupid when you play in the Europa league and have lots of games.

Nice team. Good chance for Chong and another opportunity for Williams. Great to see Rashford, Fred and Martial to get a rest. Good to see Lingard dropped from the team.

Lingard is ill along with Martial and Shaw.

 

[Dargonk]

Interesting line up. It doesn't look the best, but I hope some of the young players have a really good game, and show us what they are capable of.

Lingard is ill, which is why he isn't in the squad. Had he been healthy, he may have got a start.

 

[0le]

Lingard is ill along with Martial and Shaw.

Oh. Well at least Rashford and Fred get a rest.

 

[elmo]

Any reason the match kicks off at at 31 mins instead of the usual 30, 45, 00?

 

[Isotope]

I don't care about freaking Top 4 "trophy". United should get this real FA Cup trophy.

There’s a mental health video playing before every match.

Usually I'd agree, but for the sake of the club in its current state, getting in the CL trumps it for me. Sad state of affairs really.

 

[sizzling sausages]

Every match started a minute late today as part of a mental health awareness campaign.

 

[stu_1992]

Significant changes there. Hopefully we have enough to go through but with that team I'm not sure. Hope for the best though!

We're also in a semi final on Tuesday.

 

[Andycoleno9]

No Lingard? Guess who is starting against City.

 

[Damien]

No Lingard? Guess who is starting against City.

Lingard and Martial fell ill - left training early yesterday.

 

[Drifter]

Come on!

 

[mu4c_20le]

Looks like an NFL game getting ready

 

[Tom Cato]

No Lingard? Guess who is starting against City.

Lingard is sick with the flu.

 

[Cantona in disguise]

Absolutely agree with this. I must be old school but I'd rather have trophies.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

No Lingard? Guess who is starting against City.

He's ill, so depends if he is still ill.

 

[Inigo Montoya]

Bloody hell its Adama Traore not Messi. He’s an absolute unit but he‘s not unplayable. I want to see Williams pin him back into his own half.

He needs a kick

Two questions

1. Why is ko at 17.31
2. What channel is this on?

 

[Alvaro Maestre]

What's the deal with Gómez?

 

[Tom Cato]

What are the chances new calls for Oles head will come if we lose this?

 

[Adisa]

Hope we win.

 

[Paul_Scholes18]

We miss lingard. Says how bad this 11 is.

 

[hobbers]

Chong, Mata, Matic and Pereira

This is going to be the grimmest game all year. And that's really saying something.

 

[Drifter]

Two questions

Something about Mental Health. Taking a minute out to think about it.

 

[JonDahl]

Think we can nick a replay here

 

[M Bison]

Ashley-Seal to score the winner

 

[cj_sparky]

Are Garner, Puigmal, Galbraith, Levitt and Traore all injured?

 

[0le]

I'd rather have a trophy if at all possible. You never know when you can next win a trophy, so every trophy you do win should be cherished.

Preparing us for the game ahead.
