Covid apparently.

Silly boy

 

[Catt]

So what happened to Greenwood?

Covid

 

[UncleBob]

No Henderson on the bench either.

Future king of England

 

[calodo2003]

Donny

 

[Garethw]

Back to this ‘starting-XI-in-numerical-order-but-substitutes-listed-by-position’ bullshit again.

It shouldn’t but it absolutely infuriates me every single week.

Who the feck signs off on this shit?! List the team in position-order, ffs!

It caught me by surprise. I didn’t think Ronaldo was playing.

 

[CloneMC16]

Top class trolling from Ole. Talked VDB up and still didn't start him. Hope to see more from Sancho in this one.

 

[Zoo]

Got 10 of the starting team right, Matic for Fred the only surprise.

If it wasn’t for Fred travelling back from South America he would have gone for McFred again. And Sancho is only in because Greenwood has Covid. He has no intention of trying to turn us into a dominant team.

 

[Hoof the ball]

Talks up Lingard and VdB about getting their chances because they deserve it.

We get the easiest possibly away game in the world, versus a Watford side that not only struggle to win, period, but routinely lose at home, and still it isn't an optimal enough situation to rotate in VdB and/or Lingard. It's embarrassing. Who are they going to get minutes against? Who the living feck is easier than Watford?

 

[Van Piorsing]

Rash, Ronnie, Sancho...

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Matic...ffs

It's operation 'Keep me in a job'. They will probably win. This is when Ole is bound to get a win.

 

[Garethw]

Matic...ffs

He’ll drop right back and play like a third CB. Another extremely negative setup Against a team that should be cannon fodder ffs.

 

[MDFC Manager]

Silly boy

He's going to waste his talent, isn't he

 

[UNITED ACADEMY]

Donny on the bench, 9/11 ffs Ole.

Why would you even think he will start after so many times never start

 

[bond19821982]

Don't know what's the point of having Mata on bench. You have Lingard and Donny who can play the same position. Should have given some youngsters that place.

 

[Random Task]

Errm, I thought Donny was starting today? Ole all but pointed confirmed it in yesterdays press conference.

 

[Bebestation]

Ole still doesn't know the tactical problem and he isn't good enough.

 

[BeforeKeanetherewasRobson]

It's operation 'Keep me in a job'. They will probably win. This is when Ole is bound to get a win.

And that's a ... good thing yeah?

 

[sp_107]

McTominay should be no where near the first team, He would have an occasional blinders but overall we are amputated if he is playing.

Matic/DVB/Bruno could have been better.

 

[Samid]

Looking at that bench we might actually get to see a Donny cameo*

* assuming no injury subs + either side being 3 goals up by the 80th minute

 

[Garethw]

He's going to waste his talent, isn't he

It seems like that could be the case. The lad seems to lack professionalism and needs a strong manager to sort him out.

 

[Black Adder]

Don't know what's the point of having Mata on bench. You have Lingard and Donny who can play the same position. Should have given some youngsters that place.

He gave his buddy new contract, he has to put him on the bench just for the sake of if.

 

[Lee565]

WTF is this, why have you gone for this team?

Tbf I thought shaw was out with his concussion, it's the same set up holland used under van gaal in the world cup of 2014 with sancho in the robben role of being given a freedom to roam behind the striker and technically sancho, lingard, beek and matic are our best fit players to allow us to actually control the game and tempo for once in a blue moon, as for dalot over bissaka, I just don't like bissaka and think he was a huge waste of money.

 

[bond19821982]

McTominay should be no where near the first team, He would have an occasional blinders but overall we are amputated if he is playing.

Matic/DVB/Bruno could have been better.

Bench Bruno and play Pogba (when he is back)

Pogba,Matic and Donny would easily keep the ball. That's more than enough against lower sides. It's not like Bruno is pulling trees for not to be benched.

 

[jem]

Surely this was a game to give Telles a run out. Shaw has been garbage and is recovering from a concussion.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

And that's a ... good thing yeah?

For this week.

 

[bosnian_red]

He doesn't fecking learn does he? At least try something different after getting repeatedly battered. We'll probably win because Watford is garbage and our players are actually good, but even the slight hope that he'd change something isn't there.

 

[Bobade]

It seems like that could be the case. The lad seems to lack professionalism and needs a strong manager to sort him out.

It's unprofessional to get covid? Or is this a joke i don't get ?

 

[FireballXL5]

Got 10 of the starting team right, Matic for Fred the only surprise.

Same here. Just knew he wouldn't start Donny.

 

[PlayerOne]

Builds up Donny and puts him on the bench again, you can't make this up

His management of the squad players is shocking, which was why I understand Jesse's frustration.

 

[Annihilate Now!]

Nice to see our back 4 rewarded for their excellent performances vs City with a start here.

No wonder AWB doesn't give a feck.

 

[bdspeedy]

Ole's obsession with Scotty is creepy. Sorry to see Ole go and would be delighted if McThom cones good but it will probably turn out to be Ole's downfall.

 

[Champ]

Some of the comments on here

'Operation Keep me in a job' is the best

You ever thought that maybe Ole just wants to win the game, and so will put out a team he thinks is right to do that?!

 

[TheGodsInRed]

Not sure I can bring myself to watch this.

 

[One Night Only]

He’ll drop right back and play like a third CB. Another extremely negative setup Against a team that should be cannon fodder ffs.

How can you not want cover for the lindelof/Maguire comedy duo? Watford will bully the shit out of lindelof for sure.

Isn't that supposedly what he does every week?

I think Ole very much likes the "bringing academy through" too much and tries to force it sadly.

 

[villain]

Why would you even think he will start after so many times never start

Because a McMatic midfield against Watford is pathetic honestly, you'd think we were playing prime Barca.
I know I should know better but it's still disheartening.

 

[Josep Dowling]

How is Donny not getting minutes with the midfield options we have available. Up there as one of the most baffling decisions I’ve ever seen in football.

 

[One Night Only]

Isn't that supposedly what he does every week?

Nah he purposely wants to lose loads to make his job unsecure, only then he wins. Duh.

 

[Strats]

Matic and McTominay

Why the feck is Ole starting Shaw who recently had a concussion? Head injuries are not to play around with

Rushing back players like he always does because of his fear of losing, absolute coward.
