    I don't know what Rashford or Antony needs to do to be dropped? They is not good enough right now to play in the first 11. Garnacho should play. I would even play Martial there. Or Evans for that matter. Rashford and Antony should be benched.
    I know what you mean. They’re frustrating.

    We’ve got to get Rashford scoring again, somehow, and we’re trying to develop routines between him and Hojlund. It would be a tough call to drop him.

    Antony is important to the balance of the team on the right and gets through a lot of work.

    I just wish the two of them would find a way of producing the goods.

    Drop Amrabat while starting McTominay? :lol:
    Of course , McT has scored 3 goals in the last 2 games for us and he scores for Scotland all the time right now. What does Amrabat give us? He has been very poor for us, left back or central midfield. I know he can still become a succes. But right now McTominay is doing much better than him.

    He's an actual midfielder who can win the ball, show for the ball, and pass the ball :lol:

    Unlike invisibile man McTominay

    I've been watching United. Closely. And if you think that, you're deluded. There's a difference between not being as good as you can be, and being shit. They have not bern that.
    The irony in calling me delusional after your comments!

    This is total nonsense. Apart from the bit about the goals.

    No it’s not. I love the club but if we keep bringing in CL money every other year, it keeps the glazers around.

    But some of you don’t want to accept that. The CL is crap these days anyway.
    Not at all, missed out on the CL loads every other year and yet they are still there.

    He scored 3 but was nowhere seen in his primary job (creating, passing, defending).

    He is doing classic thing what all managers do when things go to shit. Just picking same lineup (more or less) which won previous game.

    Nailed it. 10 out of 11.

    I prefer Garnacho on the left, but Rashford was always going to be the obvious choice. Hopefully he will have a good game. Hopefully EVERY single United player has a good game today.

    Let's be honest, those 2 were always going to play. It's McTom that's the main mystery
    Probably since he's been put biggest goal threat the last few games he has a point. But, I'm sure his extended run in the team will come to an end when Casemiro is back.

    People here ranting about Rashford and Bruno starting. I'm vastly more concerned about McT playing hide and seek in the middle again. Fecks up any remote chance of keeping possession.

    Extremely good point. Hence he has to play what he has to work with, Anthony.
    Thank you, felt you need some clarification. He doesn't, but God forbid he changes formation or tries anything different than ever failing non productive winger.

    Must win. Just hope that Onana has gone past his cock up stage. Picked 10 out of 11. Varane I did not put in.
    Mctom and Amarabat one of them will have to venture forward my guess it'd Mctom. Maguire needs big game as well. Hojlund to score 3-0..

    The caf loves to complain.

    It's a good balanced team people. Yes, a more attacking side would have been preferred as we need to score and need to win today, but we have a good attacking bench today.

    McTom really hasn't played all that well. He made 11 passes in each of his last 2 starts. Nowhere near good enough. He's basically invisible in midfield. Amarabat at least gets on the ball.

    He's grabbed some important goals, and proved himself a useful squad member, but he's not contributing in the ways a midfielder needs to.

    He's not a striker and when he's not scoring, he's a passenger. We can't afford that in his position

    Yet it was clearly our subs who were more effective. Oh well, let's hope we get good McT.
    .....so he is thinking; those players did great as subs so lets try that again. Remember Wout on no10? First game on that position he did pretty good. And then he played no10 next 6 or 7 games.
    I thought that Erik is rigid coach who has his clear plan about team. It seems that guy is experimenting more than Pep.

    Supposedly, we should rate Mount because he was Chelsea player of the year twice. That statement is a hyperbole to point out how dumb that notion is.

    Don't get me wrong, I'd play him ahead of Bruno at the moment but he's been underwhelming.
    All the more reason to give him a chance in the number 10 spot and make Bruno earn his place back. Mount clearly isn’t working as a number 8 so he should go to a number 10 where I think he’ll be better

    Antony's last chance before getting benched surely. Why should anyone of them even bother in training if this chump gets picked every single game and does nothing. Hopefully he has a cracking game tonight.
