Great line-up, let's go, 6:1 predicted.
g = window.googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; window.googletag = googletag; googletag.cmd.push(function() { var interstitialSlot = googletag.defineOutOfPageSlot('/17085479/redcafe_gam_interstitial', googletag.enums.OutOfPageFormat.INTERSTITIAL); if (interstitialSlot) { interstitialSlot.addService(googletag.pubads()); } });
And you seriously don't think his lack of decision making has attributed to this? Rather loose the ball than pass? Rather shoot and miss than pass?The reason we've been so toothless in front of goal this season is due to our star player not scoring. I mean, no one else has exactly stepped up have they?
Plan might be a diamond in Europe and a 4-3-3 in the league. Ten Hag used a proper 9 in the league and then Tadic as a false 9 in Europe when Ajax was good. As we saw with Fergie in the 2nd half of his tenure, a lot of managers see the league as being about outscoring teams and Europe as about being tough to beat.If he persists with this diamond where does that leave Antony?
Really hope he cements himself. Would also be a miracle if he doesn’t get booked. Really huge chance for him to be in the mix as a full-time starter if we once again look energised with him in the team.Hannibal starts
Replace Höjlund upfront attacking from the rightIf he persists with this diamond where does that leave Antony?
I get that! What I'm saying to you is, who else has stepped up so far this season? The answer would be no one!And you seriously don't think his lack of decision making has attributed to this? Rather loose the ball than pass? Rather shoot and miss than pass?
As I keep saying. For every one he scores comes two or three poor decisions to get there which could have led to a goal for someone else.
"My Rashy shall always play...."How bad does Lindelof have to play to get dropped. Garnacho and Martial should be starting too.
What other choice do we have with the injuries?
Evans 100%.Who would you start? (Genuine question). What’s wrong with Evans, is he injured?
Cannot be bad enough for Maguire to start is the obvious answerHow bad does Lindelof have to play to get dropped. Garnacho and Martial should be starting too.
You really think he’s been awful?Evans 100%.
Even Maguire deserves a start over him, he's been fecking awful so far this season
He should be doing this regularly then?To be fair, this is something Garnacho was accused of doing when starting the first couple of games this season.
Isn’t Maguirre injured as well?Evans 100%.
Even Maguire deserves a start over him, he's been fecking awful so far this season
More lives than a catHow selfish and poor does Rashford have to play before getting dropped?
Think this will answer whether the system can work because the two best uniform pressers in the squad or occupying the midfield and will press in sync, which is something we only ever see other teams do. If we can’t get it going with them basically maximising off the ball work in the middle of the pitch, it really needs to be scrapped.Doubt its a diamond. Hope it's not anyway!
We'll most likely see what we saw against Burnley, with:
Hojlund
Rashford Mount Hannibal Bruno
Casemiro
Amrabat Lindelof Varane Dalot
Onana
Lindelof? Definitely. Been a total coward on the ball and off it.You really think he’s been awful?
3 games against mediocre teams without good result should be enough to make up ETH mind.I rather have a larger sample size before I'd make up my mind. Somehow 3 games just feels like it's not enough to make a proper judgement on whether or not players can build up a relationship and understanding on the pitch.
The whole point of dropping someone is as you don't trust them to deliver in important games.The reaction to seeing Rashford is way over the top. While I love Garnacho and also believe Rashford getting a few games on bench will be good, it was not gonna happen in an important CL game. Garnacho has not really taken all his chances when he started.
What needs to be done though, if Rashford is ineffective, he gets pulled at HT, rather than 75th min.
Lets be honest. Casemiro isnt going to sit. He's going to want to get in the opponent's box more than Hannibal. So he might as well be on the same line as the restDoubt its a diamond. Hope it's not anyway!

You’d rather Maguire plays?Lindelof starting is a disgrace
It might, but at least give it a chance to fail properly.Might a larger sample size cost ten Hag his job if it’s as bad as currently suspected?
Wild…Lindelof? Definitely. Been a total coward on the ball and off it.
Yeah let's put MaguireLindelof starting is a disgrace
Yeah let's put Maguire
Yeah definitely. Literally can't be worse and actually wasn't worse in the game he did play in, even if that was a very easy game. If Maguire had put in the game Lindelof did on the weekend the slagging off would be endless.You’d rather Maguire plays?
yeah the vitrol is crazy. Is he the greatest ever, no. But people are hyping up evans to a crazy amount (which is hilarious with how much people were trashing him after the first game). Youd think he was on some 10 game great run with how much people are hyping him up.I don’t rate Lindelof at all, but I’m baffled at the dismay at him starting. It’s simply logical? Sad to see Amrabat again out of position though.
Yep, the trouble with him is when he's out of form he's absolutely woeful. Sick of the sight of him running into blind alleys. I could maybe understand if things were nearly coming off for him, but they aren'tRashford? How many more managers are going to die on the Rashford Hill?
