Welcome to the cafIts one thing picking VdB over Fred, although VdB has done nothing to displace him, and Fred has been the far better/reliable performer last season.
But people are picking VdB over Pogba, its absolutely insane. The less he plays, the more his stock grows.
I distinctly remember when we actually played him last season and he put in average displays, people here were calling him a flop asking him to be sold. Its funny.
I actually rate him and want us to play him more, but to pretend as if he is higher in the pecking order than McT, Fred and Pogba isWelcome to the caf
He's a good skilled player but in games he becomes anonymous.
If Ole doesn't start DvB again, I don't know why he stopped him from joining Everton then. This whole situation is so effing ridiculous.Fred can’t play apparently, replace him with Matic..
Copy and paste this to the opening of every match thread this seasonA little wary of our midfield. Backline and Forward line, will be fine.
The meltdown when Ronaldo is on the bench !This game is going to be such a let down isn't it
Surely that's a minority of <1%Its one thing picking VdB over Fred, although VdB has done nothing to displace him, and Fred has been the far better/reliable performer last season.

Just because people put him there doesn't mean he'll be confined to that position the entire game. He'll have freedom to roam around.Everyone seems to be putting Ronaldo at center forward. When did he stop operating from the wing?
If Lingard gets the start over a likely fit Sancho, I don't want to hear anything about Ole being ruthless.Want

If dan james can have two years of being given every chance under the sun, despite being shite then VdB should have 6 or 7 games on the run to see if he can find form.Dunno why everyone is smitten with VDB he's been bang average whenever given the opportunity to play.
Cavani was the only PL based player in the Uruguay squad. But there shouldn't be a worry there, as Uruguay cancelled his call up by formally withdrawing him from the squad in response to the initial PL stance on players going to South America for the internationals.Is Fred definitely out then? Can't say I'm too fussed over that to be honest. At least Ole has an excuse to play someone, cough, cough, else.
What are the chances of Uruguay doing the same as Brazil? Trying to think, what other Uruguay players are in the PL besides Cavani?
This is one of those eternal mysteries. James scored in his first few games then faded out, yet played 50 times for us. Does Ole just love headless running?If dan james can have two years of being given every chance under the sun, despite being shite then VdB should have 6 or 7 games on the run to see if he can find form.
Explains why Fred hasn’t been droppedThis is one of those eternal mysteries. James scored in his first few games then faded out, yet played 50 times for us. Does Ole just love headless running?
Good thing we signed all those replacements in the summer.Explains why Fred hasn’t been dropped
gradually over the last few yearsEveryone seems to be putting Ronaldo at center forward. When did he stop operating from the wing?
He's also unavailable for the game.Fred can't play
Have to disagree there. As much as we like to shit on Lindgard he was very good last season and with Sancho just coming back from injury and hardly being stellar for us his first few games its not that clear cutIf Lingard gets the start over a likely fit Sancho, I don't want to hear anything about Ole being ruthless.
Lingard should be nowhere near this game.
He had a great start for West Ham and then tailed off at the end. He should be nowhere near this game.Have to disagree there. As much as we like to shit on Lindgard he was very good last season and with Sancho just coming back from injury and hardly being stellar for us his first few games its not that clear cut
Just to be clear, i want Sancho to start ahead of Lindgard, but i wont be too suprised if Lingard starts instead
That's not been confirmed yet. They've said there's a good chance he should be fine to play.He's also unavailable for the game.
Not in the UK.Will it be on tv?
NaughtyHe's also unavailable for the game.
As if that fat bastard knows.Neil Custis reporting CR7 will start from the bench. Sounds BS to me.
He got fewer minutes than Dan James last season. And it was James' second season of being absolutely bang average and yet getting chance after chance.It’s bizarre.
Give him a change!
Gets given a chance and is average.
Give him another chance!

Make it happen Ole.
Donny can play as a 6. That’s where he started with Ajax. Bit of knowledge on your own players wouldn’t go amiss.Pogba and VdB in a 2? Are you being serious? Playing Pogba in a 2 is already suicidal but pairing him with an offensive minded CM?
I am still hoping that somehow the Brazilian bans can be overturned and we start this with Fred & Pogba in CM.Ole will play a barely fit Scott McTominay with a visible limp before he starts VdB.
The Sun reported Tuesday that quarantine meant he wouldn't be ready for Newcastle. Tomorrow they will report that he will start and by Saturday morning they will create an article saying he has been made player-manager.Neil Custis reporting CR7 will start from the bench. Sounds BS to me.
He didn't play that role in an Ajax team though, atleast not that much. He was usually an 8 and later a ten.Donny can play as a 6. That’s where he started with Ajax. Bit of knowledge on your own players wouldn’t go amiss.
