He is too good for that league.

 

[Rockets Redglare]

Might as well drop CL. We're not gonna win. Should focus on EPL to get top 5.

What’s the point in trying to get in the Champions league if you think we should just not even bother trying once we qualify?

 

[Carl]

Bizarre that Hannibal was dropped yesterday considering how great he has been on the press. He's a must start.

 

[slored1]

Onana
Dalot - Varane - Maguire - Lindelof
Casemiro - Amrabat
Bruno - Mount - Garnacho
Hojlund

We have to win this. No ifs and buts. 2-1 United.

 

[BootsyCollins]

Onana
Dalot-Varane-Victor-Amrabat
Casemiro
Bruno-Hannibal
Mount-Martial-Garnacho

 

[mitchmouse]

No rashford
No bruno

And we might win.

I came here to say pretty much this. On current form, I'd sell them both to get a proven goal-scorer. But I do repeat: on current form. I do realise Rashford, in particular, is capable on going on a goal-scoring run. but what the hell has happened to the guy we signed four years ago?

 

[mitchmouse]

No point even trying to guess whether we'll turn up or not - but can pretty much guarantee giving Zaha a goal

 

[DJ_21]

This will be a tough game.

Onana
Dalot Varane lindelof Reguilon
Cas Amrabat
Bruno Mount Rashford
Hojlund

Need a strong performance here. Our home form as got a bit sketchy. Need Hojlund to start getting on the scoresheet to gain some confidence. We’ve got enough creativity out there.

 

[whitbyviking]

Promised my son we could watch matches this year and I’d take him to a few. Thankfully he’s in bed at champions league kick off times.

At least Viking are doing well, but their season is soon done. Middlesbrough doing better now so I can send him with his granddad. His first Old Trafford experience should he special, but with how dire we’ve been I just don’t want to take him, imagine a toxic crowd and a poor result. It’s high time these useless, workshy wasters got their fingers out, top to bottom

 

[Devil81]

Huge game for ETH this one, lose this and he's in trouble I'm certain of it.

I'd like to think he would drop Rashford and Bruno but I'm not holding my breath.

 

[CallyRed]

Barring any injuries, it will be the same team as yesterday.

 

[astracrazy]

As if we play CL games without our star player and the captain. Not that I disagree with you. There’s a very slim chance Rashford is dropped, but 100% Bruno plays. My captain always plays.

Are you referring to Rashford as our star player.....? You must be joking.

 

[DRJosh]

I feel we might be pleasantly surprised to see Rashford and Bruno (or one of them at least) on the bench for this one. For a manager that has stood his ground in upholding standards, I believe ETH will see the light for this fixture.

 

[horsechoker]

I thought Zaha went to Saudi. Strange choice to park himself in Istanbul at 30 -- when he could have played at another PL club or gone for the riches in the Middle East.

I think he wanted champions league football

 

[DRJosh]

Are you referring to Rashford as our star player.....? You must be joking.

Our 'star player' who won't even make the Brighton bench for a premier league game.

 

[sglowrider]

I think he wanted champions league football

Interesting. Wasnt Arteta interested in signing him too?

 

[DickDastardly]

Bruno should not be dropped.

Ffs he's the only player we have who's putting in a 8/10 performance every fecking game for the last 3 years and you lot would drop him?!
Just put him in his normal place.

Casemiro - Hanibal
Bruno in front

Put Mount on RW if Antony isn't match fit.
Garnacho on LW
Hojlund up top.

So fecking easy.

 

[El Zoido]

Are you referring to Rashford as our star player.....? You must be joking.

I’m just referring to his status within the squad, and how he’s viewed by ETH.

 

[RuudTom83]

We are forever told Top 4 is all that matters...well we got Top 4 last season so we should enjoy the match ffs.

All I want to see is a balanced selection which also includes some youth.

 

[Josh 76]

The next international break can't come soon enough. Please.

Why? It will be the same crap after the break.

 

[Red_toad]

When are the mods going to fix the team selection? Numerous players there who are out on loan or no longer at the club?

 

[RonaldoVII]

Onana
Lindelof Varane Maguire Dalot
Amrabat Casemiro
Antony Bruno Garnacho
Hojlund​

 

[Annihilate Now!]

I absolutely do not want to see Lindelof anywhere near this team.

Get Hannibal back in midfield and put one of Mount or Bruno out wide.

 

[MegadrivePerson]

I absolutely do not want to see Lindelof anywhere near this team.

Get Hannibal back in midfield and put one of Mount or Bruno out wide.

Don't have much choice when down to only five defenders!

 

[Carlsen19]

What’s the point in trying to get in the Champions league if you think we should just not even bother trying once we qualify?

Exactly - what a daft post

 

[KiD MoYeS]

A few players deserve to be dropped for this game but they won't be.

 

[Offside]

feck me, drop points here and it’s really getting depressing

 

[the_cliff]

I want to see this:

Onana
Dalot Varane Lindelof Amrabat
Casemiro
Bruno Mount
Antony Hojlund Martial

Reckon it's probably our best team right now with the players available.

 

[James35]

We lose this surely the manager is walking a tightrope.

CL group stage failure he would have to go.

Hopefully we pull something out of our arses and get the three points.

I fear we could face any team in Europe right now and lose. The OT crowd will be up for it for sure but the boos were the loudest heard in a while at full time yesterday. Patience will run out eventually whether we like the manager or not.

 

[Melville Red]

Why in gods name did Utd give Rashford such a great new contract just on the back of a relatively short purple patch?
We must be the worse ran club in the PL.
Hope he’s dropped for this match and a for few others as well.

 

[TheGame]

Onana
Dalot Lindelof Evans Amrabat
Hannibal Casemiro Mount
Bruno Hojlund Garnacho​

Eriksen or Hannibal, whatever on that point. Probably Hannibal for better energy to inspire us more. Garnacho has to start. Bruno on the right as pellistri shouldn't start. Let Rashford be bench for a bit. Amrabat will sadly be LB until we get one back.

Would probably go for Maguire over Evans and try to get Amrabat inverted if possible but yeah we need the above midfield and Garnacho deserves a start

 

[Hester_manc]

.....................Onana...........

Lindelöf.Varane.Maguire.Dalot

...........Casemiro.Mejbri............
..................Eriksen...............
Bruno.............................Rashford
..................Højlund....................

Subs:
Martial, Antony, Mount

 

[McGrathsipan]

Play the same players expect the same outcome

 

[dannyrhinos89]

I came here to say pretty much this. On current form, I'd sell them both to get a proven goal-scorer. But I do repeat: on current form. I do realise Rashford, in particular, is capable on going on a goal-scoring run. but what the hell has happened to the guy we signed four years ago?

he’s always been a purple patch player, he’s not somebody we can rely on for goals regular.

when he’s bad though he’s very bad although he doesn’t help himself when he constantly dribbles into a dead end. I’d like to see garnacho get a run at left wing for a few games at least and bench Rashford.

 

[GMoore23]

Onana
Lindelof - Evans - Maguire - Dalot
Amrabat - Hannibal
Eriksen
Anthony - Martial - Garnacho

Casemiro definitely needs a rest here and wouldn't start Mount or Varane 3 games in a row so soon after injury.

Rashford and Bruno dropped.

 

[Todd]

I would play:

Onana

Dalot
Maguire
Evans
Lindelof

Amrabat
Hannibal

Garnacho
Eriksen
Pellistri

Martial

But ETH will not drop Bruno, and I very much doubt that he'll play that back line, as I imagine he'll stick with Amrabat at LB.

Ultimately it probably doesn't matter. They are in good form this season and don't concede many goals, and we're an absolute catastrophe.

I expect they'll win this, and if they do that's curtains for us in the group.

 

[astracrazy]

I’m just referring to his status within the squad, and how he’s viewed by ETH.

Ladlst season I'd ageee but this season not. Even his team mates were looking pissed off at him yesterday.

 

[Dr. Dwayne]

Welcome to Hell part 2.

 

[Onerealunited]

I don’t mint much about how we set up the team as long as we win but nevertheless I would like to see

1) Varane being rested for this game. Maguire, Lindelöf and Evans should be capable to defend

2) Mejbri to start. With the two starts he already have had he has shown that he can play in the middle against senior teams and as a minimum so as our current starters

3) Garnacho to start. He needs more game time and it won’t hurt to put some real pressure on Rashford for the LW spot

 

[RuudTom83]

Let’s keep it simple.

Pick one and sub the other on if needed.

Rashford or Garnacho
Martial or Hojlund
Bruno or Mount

Hannibal back in because he did nothing wrong and deserves to keep his place.

Amrabat and Casemiro in front of whatever back four is fit.
