If we cannot play our squad players against a team like Huddersfield, then they are purely here to make brief sub appearances. Granted, there are players who need match fitness, but there are no games less important from here on out. It's not like I'm advocating fielding a team of 11 youngsters. I'm only hoping we are resting 4-5 crucial players for the CL.Unlikely to happen, but i'd be tempted to start the same team that will kick-off @ Sevilla next Wednesday in the FA Cup, for obvious reasons...DDGDropping Pogba would be ridiculous. Is he not allowed to have a slump in form? He's our best player ffs. People have shockingly short memories.
Valencia ____ Lindelof ____ Jones ____ Shaw
Carrick
Matic __________
___________ Pogba
Alexis _________________________ Martial
Lukaku
Can see us going there with the 3-5-2. Seemed pretty successful in away matches and they're definitely going route 1.
Counter them with Martial/Sanchez/Lukaku or Lingard/Sanchez/Lukaku, we should win comfortably.
Agreed, particularly on the bolded part.play the 4-3-3 with a mix of first team and squad players
-------------------De Gea-----------------
Young--Lindelof--Jones---Shaw
------------------Carrick------------------
----------McT--------------Pogba-------
Lingard------Martial--------SanchezA good attacking performance isn't too much to ask.
This is Manchester United ffs!Why bother, we're shit, jose is shit. We'll never win a game againRomero
Darmian Lindelof Rojo Shaw
Carrick McTominay
Mata Sanchez Martial
Rashford
Subs: Pereira, Smalling, Jones, Young, Pogba, Lingard, Lukaku
Maybe a young player on the bench in place of Jones, but I can't think who.
Missing Bailly
Ddg
Valencia Bailly Rojo Shaw
McTominay Carrick Pogba
Alexis Lukaku Martial
Also hope Gomes is in the squadLast edited:All that I'm asking for in this game is to see Sanchez play on the right, just to see if it works. I know that he's probably better on the left hand side, cutting in and shooting, however I just want to see how effective he is on the right hand side. Maybe give him a free role, the same type of role Mata plays occasionally when he is put on the right hand side.Gone for a completely different team to what I think will pay at Sevilla. So either going to get 11 or may be 2.I wouldn't risk any key players before the Sevilla tie. Pogba and Alexis in particular.Bailey plays. Jones smalling matic pogba get dropped for their recent performances.

Gómez, rashford and pogba off d bench.
Folly !!! behave .Huddersfield are so bad that they'll only be able to win if we gift them goals and they manage to stay solid without mistakes for 90 minutes and we'll finish poorly. They've done it once this season, they won't do it again.Lightning does not strike twice. We will win this, it is a bye into the next round for us.
2-0 with Martial and Sanchez scoring.
This game is more important. At least with Sevilla we have a 2nd leg if we don't win but the FA Cup is our best chance of winning something this season. Our best players should play and if we're leading bring them off at 60/65 mins.
They are the third best pressing side in the opponents half, after City and Liverpool, in terms of number of times winning the possession back. And we struggle against good pressing teams.
If our players underestimates them again, like you have, we will lose again.
Not too sure about the score and scorers, but have to agree....I simply refuse to believe that a bunch of cloggers like we saw at OT a couple of weeks ago can beat us two out of three in the same season.
There....I've said it.
So basically you’re saying there is a chance.Not sure what line up we'll go with. Think it's a certainty we'll get minutes for Carrick, McTominay and Bailly. I'm going for;
Romero
Shaw
Lindelof
Bailly
Valencia
Pogba
McTominay
Carrick
Martial
Lukaku
Sanchez
We'll be taking this competition seriously but Matic really needs a rest, he's been a mainstay this season but he's only human. We should beat them pretty comfortably, players will be playing with a point to prove and after what we saw last time we played them (despite it being at OT) they really don't have a lot of footballing ability.
I confess I only care about the Premier League and the Champions League. Winning the FA Cup is not worth missing out of 4th or going of CL a round early.
I too rate the PL and CL higher but we aren't winning the PL this season and our chances of winning the CL are slim at best. The FA Cup even though it isn't the be all and end all reprents our best chance of silverware. We aren't in a position where we can pick and choose what competitions we go for so I'd go with the big guns tommorow ie alexis and Pogba and focus on the job at hand.
No way, that would be suicide against a very pumped up route 1 Huddersfield. I also wouldn’t allow Carrick and Mctominay start a jigsaw together, let alone a tricky FA away fixture.
DDG must start, along with Pogba and Matic.
Rashford is also injured.
3rd best pressing side in what way? They have the 19th best offence in the league and the 19th best defense in the league. The fact that they're not in the bottom three (which they will end up in) is quite the feat. They are however not good. They weren't even good when they beat us but when you pretty much start with a 2-0 handicap you can beat any team by being defensive and wasting time enough.
Don't get your hopes up.
Tahith Chong may make his first debut. (source)
He played yesterday against chelsea reserves, i wouldnt hold my breath. Maybe Gribbin if he isnt injured plays or Tosin kehinde. Tahith Chong may make his first debut. (source)
De GeaThis is what I would like to see.
Darmian Jones Rojo Shaw
Carrick
McTommy Pogba
Sanchez
Lukaku.......Martial
Now, thats positive attitude. Well said sir!
Would you also happen to know the exact score, so I can place a bet?Romero
Valencia Bailly Rojo Shaw
Mctominay Matic Pogba
Lingard Lukaku Sanchez
It’s not the end of the world if we bow out of the cup, but damn it, not to these cnuts - we are not losing to fecking Huddersfield again!VAR is to be used today yeah?1. De Gea
2. Shaw
3. Darmian
4. Rojo
5. Lindelof
6. Carrick
7. Pogba
8. McTominay
9. Rashford
10. Mata
11. SanchezThink we'll see at relativey strong side for this with only 2/3 changes Wednesday against Seville.
Yes, I agree with this because we have more than normal amount of replacement players available, if anyone gets crocked. Mourino needs to be playing with a core team now as much as possible.
It would be good to get Bailly and Rojo playing together again, they are our best defence in big matches and allow MU to play a lot further forward than with other defenders. At least give Bailly 45 minutes to get him into playing again flat out.- Status
