Looking forward to Burnley pulling a performance out of nowhere.

Expect them.to kick us all over the park and the ref waving play on

croadyman · Dec 27, 2019

This will definitely be a tougher assignment that Newcastle because they won't open up as much,also Utd generally don't deal with big strikers well either

crossy1686 · Dec 27, 2019

Their home form is terrible, especially against supposed top 6 teams. We absolutely should win this but I’m not getting my hopes up

Irwin99 · Dec 27, 2019

They didn't have a single shot on target against Everton. We should be beating these.

Shearer said it the other night:

"You never know which United is going to turn up, the one that beat both Spurs and City or the one that got done by Watford."

He's right, that's exactly how it is.

032Devil · Dec 27, 2019

We need a three-man midfield against these types of teams (who pack the midfield and over-run our two-man standard).

They LL raise their game against us. I m sure of that

I hope having Pogba back will be the key to unlocking teams like Burnley. Otherwise, or if he is uninterested, it will be another 2-1 or 2-0 loss. Newcastle showed us we can come back from a goal down, but they did gift us great opportunities. Greenwood + Pogba should start

red woppit · Dec 27, 2019

Tough one. I know it's not flavour of the month, but I would start with three at the back, Tuanzebe coming in, to counteract the aerial threat they have, bring Williams in at LB, Fred, Pogba and Pereira in midfield, to pick up the second phase ball, with Rashford and Martial up front, playing a little more central. Williams would bomb up and down the left, with AWB the same on the right. Think this will be scrappy, so hopefully we take one of the few chances we will get, and keep a clean sheet.

Mal donaghy · Dec 27, 2019

These are the games where the Burnley keeper, becomes lev yassin, Gordon banks, pete schmeichel, gigi buffon, and a 17yr old Cassias ! All rolled into one.

Or we have crap strikers incapable of putting away highly presentable opportunities?

charlenefan · Dec 27, 2019

Just to make everyone aware, Liverpool scored 3 at Burnley, City and Chelsea both scored 4 and Spurs beat them by 5 at their ground... :nervous:

PoTMS · Dec 27, 2019

Can't see us winning this. We've won two PL away games since March - against shite teams in Norwich and Manchester City.

Predicting a 1-1 draw or 1-0 Burnley win.

Gerald G · Dec 27, 2019

We'll win this game. Pogba will be MOM

Giggsyking · Dec 27, 2019

I say we should rest the team in this match giving the fact our manager has no clue how to win them. Its a loss (at best a draw) anyways.

Gerald G · Dec 27, 2019

De Gea
AWB--Lindelof--Maguire--Young
Fred--Matic
James--Pogba--Rashford
Martial

Subs: Romero; Jones, Williams; Mata, Pereira; Lingard, Greenwood

If it's Pereira for McTominay I hope that means he's deeper. Would prefer Pogba further forward.

Pereira deeper is bad. It’s better to put Pogba there. Or find a real solution.

Yeah and even Arsenal did beat them with a clean sheet if I remember it right.
Still would not trust us much. We are great at turning crap when you think we have some momentum or form.

bondsname · Dec 28, 2019

Time to start using either Matic or Pereira alongside Fred. Or maybe Levitt deserves a shot?

Either way, smart from Ole to sub both Martial and Rashford, while resting James the whole game. It means we have a fresh attack for this game, bad news is Greenwood probably won't start.

I think we'll see:
De Gea
AWB Lindelöf Maguire Shaw
Pogba Fred
James Lingard Rashford
Martial

But i'd rather see:
AWB Lindelöf Maguire Shaw
Matic Fred
Greenwood Pereira Rashford
Martial

With an attacking bench containing Pogba, James, Lingard and Mata.

A win is the most important thing at the moment, but avoiding injuries aswell. If we lose Pogba we are screwed, so use him as an impact sub till he is 100% match fit. We might aswell use Matic now as we don't have many options.

It's hard to know with Pogba how ready he is. He looks good, but how long has he been training with the ball? I tend to agree that starting him is a big risk, we can't lose him again for any extended period. Let alone with McTominay out. However, Pereira should never be deployed in midfield ever again. Only Matic, Fred and the two youngsters.

Unless Ole does the unthinkable and goes with a 3 man midfield, which would probably be sensible given the circumstances. Garner/Levitt - Matic - Fred. With Pogba coming on in the 2nd half when we've not made any chances

I'd like to see

--------------------de Gea
AWB---Tuanzebe---Maguire---Williams
----Garner------Matic------Fred
James--------Martial------Rashford

With Pogba and Greenwood coming on when we need them. I don't think Lindelof can cope against a physical side like Burnley.

JMack1234 · Dec 28, 2019

Pogba has to start for me.

Also, I'd be tempted to give Axel and run out and see if him and Maguire could get some sort of partnership together.

Of Course Pogba isn't 100% fit but it's time for him to get 60 mins. We're not in a position to rest him and play this team.

Strelok · Dec 28, 2019

Given how clueless our attack and how clumsy our defence usually is when it comes to face a low block with quick counter and long ball I don't have high hope for this match.

Actually my only hope is Pogba could do something but as he will probably play deep again due to McT's injury so pretty no hope at all. It's gonna be ugly imo.

How was Watford's awful table position flattering?

I know we suck vs bad teams but get the jibes in factually please.

Considering we’ve won 3 and drawn 2 of the last 5 meetings, our overall league record against them looks quite crap

They were one of the founders of the league. Quite a big team way way back.
Got to the quarter final in The European cup once too.

Zlatattack · Dec 28, 2019

Should give Garner a chance ahead of Matic.

11101 · Dec 28, 2019

This is arguably the toughest game of our season. They will bully and foul us off the park and make it very hard to get a goal. If we can put two or more past these it will be a turning point.

r3idy · Dec 28, 2019

Predict 1 - 1 for today's game. An ugly game where Shaun Dyches team will be set out to contain and frustrate us on their small pitch.
