[Inigo Montoya]

Will start on the bench.

He can’t start immediately, he plays in the same position as Greenwood. Unless Greenwood plays through the middle, it will be a like for like swap IMO

 

[Inigo Montoya]

Bailly and DDG not in the squad according to MEN

Bailly we know about and Henderson is our cup keeper regardless of DDGs poor showing

 

[Canagel]

Because we're in a very tight top four race and if we miss it but win an FA cup, that will be highly disappointing when you factor in how weak our rivals have been and how injury free we are (so far).

City aren't crowned champions in Feb as well, if we stop dropping ridiculous points like SHU we should be close enough come May - I'd rather we finished with 10 points of them and won nothing rather than won an FA cup and the gap was massive again, the latter would just confirm we aren't really going anywhere and will be an echo of the LVG/Mou years where fans give up hope of actually improving a team and want to just throw money at the problem - we need Halaand, we need Sancho, we need Upamecamo etc.

No disrespect but this is a loser mentality. We are certainly not in a postion to be throwig away any chances of silverware when the club has won nothing for 4 years and has bottled 4 consecutive semi finals. Last season top 4 only would have been acceptable due to a weaker squad. The squad has been strengthened this season so nothing less than top 4 and a trophy should be accepted

 

[No Idea For Nickname]

Confirmed squad members:

Dean Henderson, Nathan Bishop, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Axel Tuanzebe, Victor Lindelof, Brandon Williams, Alex Telles, Harry Maguire, Nemanja Matic, Luke Shaw, Scott McTominay, Fred, Bruno Fernandes, Donny van de Beek, Amad, Edinson Cavani, Daniel James, Anthony Martial, Mason Greenwood, Marcus Rashford.

 

[Gambit]

No diallo

Scratch that. Fecking Amad there

 

[big rons sovereign]

Got a bad feeling about this one.
Although, saying that, the BBC are wanking Moyes off so hopefully that's gonna backfire on them.

No Phil Jones is a big blow

 

[Jonno]

Amad in the squad, nooice

 

[No Idea For Nickname]

No Phil Jones is a big blow

He is, yes.
Who?

 

[BootsyCollins]

How many allowed on the bench for FA-Cup games?
Is Amad in risk on beeing left out? Cant see anyone else (bar Williams maybe) who Ole would put on the stands.

9. Same as Premier League, so all those listed will be involved tonight either starting or on the bench.

I actually think Williams might be given a start. We need to rest AWB. I'd also rest Fred and McTominay now that Pogba is out for a while. Time to try VDB in that role.

 

[jderbyshire]

Full strength for this, but with our cup keeper Deano in net.

We've not won a trophy in 4 years. What do you want to rest players for, the West Brom game 5 days away??

Henderson

McTominay Fred

That’s the worse thing about the BBC, it wouldn’t matter if we won 10-0 they’d be cnuting us off and please don’t let Martin cro-magnon Keown be commentating it’s embarrassing.

 

[Offsideagain]

Diallo is a great talent but I would be a little worried if the lad came up against some battered centre back that would kick the s*** out of him as he is slight in build. We should win this one given a fair wind and a decent Ref.

 

[Red Royal]

That’s the worse thing about the BBC, it wouldn’t matter if we won 10-0 they’d be cnuting us off and please don’t let Martin cro-magnon Keown be commentating it’s embarrassing.

Or Jermaine 'Trent Trent' Jenas.

I do like the 7.30pm kick off time though, plenty of time to get back to bingewatching on NetFlix afterwards...if no extra time and penalties.

 

[jderbyshire]

I just realised we can use 5 subs tonight.

It's Diallo time people.

 

[Foxbatt]

'Fellaini" is back isn't he? I mean his suspension has been overturned . He is going to cause us problems.

The hys threads are the worst. Fans are pretty much allowed to say what they like about United, a lot of it quite vile. But any post questioning Liverpool is immediately removed by the mods.

When has Ole ever used 5 subs? Let's hope he uses three before 92nd minute and Amad is one of them

I’ll be too pissed for that.

He was the first manager in PL history to use all 5 subs at the same time.

 

[ClaytonBlackmoorLeftPeg]

he was the first ever manager to bring on 5 subs at the same time in a competitive club match in the UK

first by a matter of seconds

Each to their own. I agree minimum this season is top for but you can't assume that's a given - FA cup is great as an extra but I don't see it as being a major honour. Maybe that's because the League cup is so pointless and it dilutes the FA cup's importance, I'm not sure.

Let's say we beat WHUM tonight and then drop points against WBA - on papaer we should smash them but you just never know. I think maintaining bit of a cushion on the top four race, keeping players fresh and fit is way more important than trying to get through to the next round of the FA cup. Just my opinion, I completely understand yours.

 

[manichester]

You never know rhat you will get with this team they can be wasteful in attack and brittle in defense. One thing for sure it will be a stressful watch.

 

[lex talionis]

Go full strength.

Yes. No need to rest players. Go out there and feck them up

 

[Salus Populi Suprema Lex]

It will be interesting to see what changes Ole makes, particularly at the back. If we defend as we did against Everton, we could easily be knocked out. West Ham are going well and won't be afraid. Personally, I would like to see Ole send a message by dropping De Gea, Maguire and Lindelof. Nobody should be an automatic pick.

 

[Salus Populi Suprema Lex]

This match is on the BBC1 isn’t it

Yes

 

[red_de_pologne]

haha fair enough, has he used 5 subs ever since?

Agree. West Ham won’t be easy even if we do go full strength. I’d give VdB a chance though, and if he plays well, get him in for WBA too.

I'd love to see Donny given a chance, but I think Ole will go with his trusted physical double pivot against Soucek & Rice. But we'll find out soon enough.

yep - just when we were beginning to really look forward to matches

If he's supposed to replace Pogba, and Pogba is out for up to 6 games, it's be nice to play him into some form over next three games

To get the likes of VDB up to speed and give youngsters much needed game time. You have to find games for these lads, we've lost our way with that since Fergie.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

M.E.N. saying Fred has been tweeting and it usually means he is going to start.

Massive test for VDB. Really needs a big game.
