Who is out first central defender for the youth team? Bernard? Might have to play him for this one.

 

[spiriticon]

No defence and no midfield. Excellent.

Don't even want to predict a score.

 

[Inigo Montoya]

Who is out first central defender for the youth team? Bernard? Might have to play him for this one.

What’s he like? Heard promising reports but not much else?

 

[LInkash]

Phil Jones = Pukki Party

 

[Lee565]

We are facing Norwich at home ffs, put dalot or young at right back and stick Bissaka next to lindelof, got to be better than f'ing jones

 

[Andycoleno9]

Easy win. 4-0.

 

[Jeffthered]

Here’s another fixture that will buy Ole another two months

..probably. If we struggle against this mob... at home.. then, well...let's say there will some real pressure around OT. Thing is I cannot call this with any confidence at all (sigh)

 

[charlenefan]

Don't forget Norwich's infamous win at OT during the dark LVG winter of 2015

Confidence in the squad is on its arse, down to what 2 fit CB's and one of them is Jones, 2 CM's one of which is Matic, yeah not good

 

[Hugh Jass]

If Lingard starts i give up. Not going over to the pub if he is playing.

 

[Feed Me]

This forum is becoming exhausting.

Ole is becoming exhausting.

We will turn Norwich over comfortably. They are wretched at the back and we hammered them at their place, despite our away form being even more brutal then than it is now – and that’s feint praise.

 

[Paul_Scholes18]

Against Astana he struggled. I have not watched him more than that.

 

[Nicoseth]

Back to relying on feckin Phil Jones. Never confident of anything other than an embarrassment when he plays. Norwich to win 2-0. Full on crisis ensues. We'll be linked to Verratti and Maddison on Monday.

We will win this mate. It is bloody Norwich and we should have won 5-0 last time if not for missing pens and giving them a late goal. After this game that is the time to worry.

2-0 to us with Martial and Rashford scoring´.

 

[Alabaster Codify7]

As depleted as we are, we should be winning this.

2-1

 

[el3mel]

We'll win this comfortably regardless of anything. 3-1.

 

[redshaw]

Kind of confident to score a couple and perhaps win but if Ole plays Pereira and Lingard and Jones still rusty as hell then 2-2 could be on the cards.

 

[McGrathsipan]

literally the reserves playing!

Strap in! Not going to be pretty

 

[USREDEVIL]

We will win this I think. It's almost easy to predict United as we never win too many in a row or lose too many in a row.
2-0 United was my prediction. Here's my lineup:

De Gea
AWB Jones Lindelof Shaw
Matic (UGH!)
Pereira Fred
Greenwood Martial Rashy​

I am still staggered how LVG survived that shocking December and that result was absolutely disgraceful, can even recall the players being booed off at the end of that one.

That kind of thing could quite easily happen again especially with the likes of Buendia, Cantwell & Pukki in that Norwich side. How the heck did we reach a situation where none of Bailly, Rojo, Axel or Maguire was available and yet again we will have to roll out Jones again.

 

[ManchesterYoda]

Romero

Lindelof, Jones
Wan-Bissaka, Matic, Williams

Fred, Gomes
Greenwood, Martial, Rashford

Two of them were long term injuries yet we fecked off Smalling to Roma and went with an injury prone defender in Axel.
Talented as he is, he will never be relied on to complete more than a few games in a row.

 

[BlackBen]

This match will buy Ole more time because we’ll win it and his fans on here will be in everyone’s face telling us how good he is and can’t see why people want him out and to trust the process yada yada .

 

[Bondi77]

With Jones and Lindelof at the heart of the defence fills me with no confidence whatsoever and that coupled with our recent displays I will be surprised if we get anything out of this game.

 

[red_de_pologne]

DDG
AWB Lindelof Jones Shaw
Fred Matic
James Pereira Rashford
Martial
​

 

[Nou_Camp99]

I have never been as pessimistic about this club and even I think we will still win this one....just about. If we don't then surely it's curtains for Ole?

 

[Sassy Colin]

Axel not fit again yet? Where is Rojo?

Is Jones the only option we have?

 

[croadyman]

Axel not fit again yet? Where is Rojo?

Certainly looks that way right now,cannot see us calling on another youth product

 

[Stevondo8]

DDG
Wan Lindelof Rojo Williams
Matic
Fred Gomes
Greenwood Rashfird
Martial

3-1, job done. No more injuries please. (And if Rojo isn’t fit then I guess it’ll have to be Jones, unless his cramp tore his hammy the other night)

 

[always_hoping]

I have a bad feeling about this game. Norwich went to high flying Leicester and took home a point and but for a silly VAR desicion they would have beaten Spurs instead of drawing with them.

As ever with this group of United players, go 1-0 behind and at best it will be a draw for United.

 

[Adam-Utd]

Pukki against Lindelof and Jones is going to be a slaughter.

I think this'll end up being a Desmond Tutu.

 

[R'hllor]

We gonna win, spirits will be raised by pre kick-off ceremony of Ashley Young stand reveal

 

[Red00012]

Young to lead the Utd team out in his civvies.

 

[Sandikan]

Pukki against Lindelof and Jones is going to be a slaughter.

It's Pukki, not prime Henry.

 

[Nou_Camp99]

It's Pukki, not prime Henry.

It's actual Phil Jones not Phil 'Next Baresi' Jones though. Norwich will score this weekend. It's just a question if we can outscore them. If we don't the vultures really will be circling.

 

[Inigo Montoya]

Norwich true to their manager’s ethos don’t go and play for a draw. They come to win but their defence isn’t that strong. It’ll be an open game

 

[Paul_Scholes18]

Pukki against Lindelof and Jones is going to be a slaughter.

I think this'll end up being a Desmond Tutu.

Last season we won 5/6 games with Jones and Lindelöf in defense. Norwich is the worst side in the league so surely they should manage that.

 

[Sandikan]

If you listen to people like yourself, Phil Jones would be turned over by park players.
He's a decent midtable defender. He's certainly ok for Norwich at home!

We've not kept clean sheets this season with Maguire against Norwich and co. We've had about 2/3 all season haven't we?

That is true. It's been a shocker.
