Yes , Amorim thoughts should be what’s best for his international career rather than Amorims squad depth.
Bruno is a better player than Mainoo which is why he’s starting.

Mainoo is a better player than Ugarte so should've started over him, the choice shouldnt be between Bruno and Mainoo as Bruno is out of position as a CM and should be in 1 of the 10 roles if he plays.

I know it's baby steps with us at the moment but it would be nice to have a comfortable victory.

There is something very wrong when you have a United starting lineup of Dalot, Maguire and Shaw in 2025.

I'm 100% backing the manager but he talks of being brave and yet he starts with these 3, that's not being brave, that's being conservative at best.

He's a conservative coach. At this point its evident.

This game will be about beating Kelleher on one end, and minimizing the chance of mistakes from Bayindir on the other.

Michael Owen doesn't have to worry about his pundit job.

Mount would have played ahead of him today if there was space in the team.

My feeling is Ruben doesn't want young players. Hence the goalie being on the bench again. He even wanted a more experienced striker

He's an extremely cautious manager. Doesn't take any risks

Is Amad injured? Not sure why he isn’t on the bench otherwise (unless it’s disciplinary?).

edit: missed the news about the family bereavement.

So we’ve got to score more goals past their goalkeeper than they do past ours?

Which is a lot easier said than done.

DRJosh · Sep 27, 2025

None of us are at the training sessions. Amorim obviously feels Mainoo isn’t at the level required to start over Bruno.

You’ll never see a starting midfield of Mainoo and Bruno it would be carnage.

Roboc7 · Sep 27, 2025

Think we will get a draw, we’ve got to win back to back games at some point and are due an away win but I just don’t trust Bayindir in these type of games.

Mainoo definitely will be leaving on a free if not forcing his way out

His contract runs until 2027 and the club has an option to 2028…

He shouldn’t because Bruno‘s our best player but he could certainly play next to him.

We don't have many games this season, this isn't an issue

It’s an issue when we get injuries though or need to chase or defend a goal

Ceteris · Sep 27, 2025

Jesus Christ, the state of this place after every lineup.

You've got your player FCs,
The Amorim hasn't got a clue brigade

Give it a rest and watch the game

At least Lammens and Mainoo might get some minutes in the carabao cup. Oh wait.

FA cup it is… Mainoo will push to leave in January so he won’t get game time

LordSpud · Sep 27, 2025

feck we could win back to back games here. First time in 11 months

They don't have the same roles in the team

Lemmens FC
Mainoo FC
Have a go at Amorim FC regardless of team selection
( knowing full well both weren’t going to start )

Castia · Sep 27, 2025

I thought the new keeper would get a game but the usually problem will occur - we’ll attack down the sides relying on Dalot and Dorgu to be our attacking outlet.

DJ_21 · Sep 27, 2025

There midfield and defence isn’t great…

Ruben doesn't like him

Can imagine bayindirs flappiness costing us today

I think it’s more that he doesn’t have many players he feels he can rely on for quality, and Bruno plays in his position.. a midfield two with Bruno and Mainoo isn’t safe enough in this system atm

FrankDrebin · Sep 27, 2025

I feel like Damsgaard will be hot property in the summer.

Just a classy player to watch.

daveskimufc · Sep 27, 2025

A tad annoyed that Yoro seems to have lost his place, and that Kobbie and Lammens aren't starting

pauldyson1uk · Sep 27, 2025

Thought today would be ideal for Lemmens to start , but sadly no!

stu_1992 · Sep 27, 2025

First time we'll see the presumably preferred front 3 start together so that will be interesting. Definitely happy to see Cunha back starting.

I initally thought this would be first game that we could realistically start Lammens, but I got the feeling after last week he wouldn't be seen today. It doesn't feel like Amorim would drop someone after no mistakes last week.

Rolaholic · Sep 27, 2025

Oranges038 · Sep 27, 2025

Somehow we've still got to endure Maguire, Shaw and Ugarte getting starts.

Should win this, can't wait to see how Bayindir and co deal with those long throws.

I thought it would be Shaw at LWB and Dorgu ar RWB but if Dalot is ready then this is better.

He can't fecking run, cannot understand why anybody actually thinks this is an idea.

Escobar · Sep 27, 2025

Too many defenders in that line up for my liking.

I wish I could share the same optimism as you lot. I dont really see us winning, usually we are poor after a promising performance

I agree, I've a bad feeling of an early red card or conceding early. Hope I'm wrong

Andycoleno9 · Sep 27, 2025

Strange that Yoro is benched for Harry two games in a row.
