Do you think DDG will start the final?

You've really got a thing for these young lads haven't you? Particularly Martial.

or maybe i just appreciate literally the only attacker we have that actually tries to take a man on and beat him?

Ban · May 4, 2018

That lineup. Migraine incoming

Nah, I reckon it'll be Romero v Caballero. Battle of the Argentinians.

Don't be melodramatic. Rashford (in particular), Lingard and Sanchez all also regularly do that.

Surely Conte will start with Courtois? It's the final after all. But i'm not so sure about Jose

sanchez hasnt done that since he got here. All he wants to do is drift inside and try and chipped pass through the middle. Lingard can barely keep the ball while dribbling it seems. Rashford somewhat tries that but up top he generally is busy making runs that nobody plays him in to.

Both Sanchez and Pogba do this on numerous occasions during the game.

Martial, for all his undoubted dribbling ability, often finds himself running in to brick walls. His decision making needs some serious work.

There's so much here that's wrong I'm not even sure where to start. Agree to disagree.

i also just think his style doesn't mesh with what others are trying to do in mou's system unfortunately.

fine with me. Hopefully martial crushes it today in spite of having darmian and fellaini in the lineup.

Mourinho on how United will line up
Mourinho was asked who will replace Romelu Lukaku as the main striker, he told Sky:

“Both. We have changed all the three [forward] players - Lingard, Lukaku and Alexis. Everybody is asking about the players when they are not playing. Today, they are all playing. They are three attacking players with freedom.”

That's just not true.

I know. Romero would most definitely had started against Spurs if he was available. But since he wasn't and Degea started, add the fact that De gea is chasing an EPL golden glove, he would probably go on for the rest of the season.
Romero would probably need a game to get him up to speed for the final since he hasn't kept goal for a long time now and there's no chance anymore.
I doubt he would play again till next season.

If he doesn't it will be cause of Fellaini and Darmian.

jesus h christ man. Maybe i am saying that we have some non creative players in there. Where the hell did i say it would be because of them? Is anybody serious excited to see those 2 names in there? fekin hell

Absolutely agree with you there. There is a clear divide between manager and player.

GM K · May 4, 2018

Fellaini is technically better than most people acknowledge. He is far from being as clumsy with the ball as many claim.

I don't think so. Caballero started every cup game he wasn't injured for including league cup semis against Arsenal.

Courtois' form has been not that good this season either so Caballero would probably do better for them.

Doesn't De Gea only need one more clean sheet to secure it? At least that is what I remember reading. If we get one tonight, he's won it.

Forget that there is a game ffs.

agree to disagree there. Maybe only because people have such a low opinion on his technical ability would he have a better technical ability. Ive seen the game here and there we i think man fellaini is actually pretty good. But that is completely overshadowed by the more numerous times he looks so slow and untalented on the ball.

VanHaal'sRedArmy · May 4, 2018

Are we playing 4-4-2? Please tell me we're playing 442...

GM K · May 4, 2018

Sky Sports reporter: Who (among the three forwards) is the number nine today?

Jose: All of them. We have three attacking players with the freedom to interchange.

I've been saying this for a while. I noticed Sanchez and Martial, whenever they have played together, have always rotated wings.

Well, Lukaku's injury is a blessing in disguise according to some as apparently Rashford is already world class and must be our main ST so I am confident he will carry us to the win today.

Who ever is saying that is a fecking idiot !

He's two ahead of Ederson with three games left. If he keeps a clean sheet tonight, he will be guaranteed of winning, but Ederson will still have a chance of sharing it with him.

Sloppy start.

I LOVE the thought of this taking place on the pitch. Like a dream come true.

We're not winning tonight, games like this bring something out of the tin pot teams that they lack all season long.

I think people have a negative mindset about Fellaini and that overshadows his assets. Don't get me wrong, I will sell him if that's the only way of getting a different type of midfield player but I honestly think he is far from being as bad as people make out and if I don't have to sell him to get other midfielders, I will certainly keep him.

That's a norm in these threads so to take a head start.

groovyalbert · May 4, 2018

Brighton are going to be so up for this.

Barnslig · May 4, 2018

Woke up, saw Fellaini in the starting lineup, might aswell just go to sleep again. Why do Mourinho drop Herrera who’s been very good lately? Way to reward the players doing good.

For me we cant talk about lacking the quality to catch city then keep bringing back that lack of quality in midfield. Use mctominay as a defensive guy and find that creative midfielder to bring in.
