    I'm too disgusted with the penalty decision we are not going to be given today to watch the match.

    That's our best system, 3-4-1-2, the one we played better with. This crisis comes after we dropped it for City and following teams, since Mourinho just sees it as a reactive system. Maybe without two strikers he goes back to it.

    Our injury numbers are incredibly bad now. What happened to Mourinho's injury record managing a squad? Maybe the physical side of it, with Rui Faria, is also out of touch.

    As much as I think we might be on for a beat down here, this is the kind of game we’ll get a result Just in time to hold back the tidal wave building. Just have a feeling we’ll nick this game 2-1

    Just go back to scared animal mode, Mourinho's best mood, and face Everton like we did Watford and Arsenal away, in 3-4-1-2.

    Will we start both Martial and Rashford, leaving us with no attacking option on the bench?

    Although he's trying to ship Blind and Darmian, Mourinho might be forced to use both today.

    Just close your eyes, forget your name
    After the Southampton game and Lukaku's injury/overall performance I put this down as a 0-0 and despite the relative collapse in our results over the last 4 games, would have been happy with it.

    But that 4 games also means 4 games without a win (the longest streak since last April/May, when we were going for the Europa League). It's also rare for Mourinho, too, so based on no logic at all, I think we'll win today and clean sheet it.

    The manager will risk getting Matić injured, isn't he?

    Knowing United, they are going to tear Everton a new one here. Its when you expect them to do well they make a dog's arse of things, remember?

    Valencia - Smalling - Bailly - Darmian
    Fellaini - Carrick - Young
    Lukaku - Zlatan

    You can bet on DDG and a wide player getting injured today to complete the XI.

    Injury ridden team vs an Allardyce team. Doesn't look very positive in terms of getting 3 points. Wish Unsy was still incharge of them.

    There'd be Mkhitaryan, but nah I see just Rashford starting.
    It's probably going to be martial starting today given Rashford played almost what 70 min?

    Going to be a horrible game today. Players won't have the legs to add to our miserable form.

    A draw would be a good result.

    There will be no upset today. Big Sam will once again outsmart Mourinho.

    Was just having a look at the table and fixtures and we could be 4th by the time of kick off. Depends on goal difference. Pool need to win by 3 goals. So this is a must win game, as also Spurs have a game in hand so if they were to win their next 2 they’d be 1 behind and we have Pool and Spurs to play just around the corner.

    You know this lot doesn't have the fight in them to go to Goodison and grind out a win. 3-1 to Everton.

    With the number of defenders something like:

    De Gea

    Lindelof Jones Smalling
    Darmian Matic Pogba Shaw
    Lingard
    Martial Rashford

    Subs: Romero, Tuanzebe, Rojo, Blind, Herrera, Mata, Mkhitaryan​

    Would be the best to hope for.

    Think it'll be more like:

    De Gea

    Lindelof Jones Smalling
    Darmian Matic Pogba Blind
    Mata Lingard
    Rashford
    Which still doesn't look that bad.

    Really think we’ll struggle to score a goal today.

    That's what this team has done to me.

    Yeah, can't see Shaw playing back to back that quickly. Isn't properly match fit. Blind seemed a better option against Southampton to me, but I suppose Jose will have to use him today.
