LASK 0:5 Manchester United

SATA · Mar 11, 2020

Probably Tuanzebe at rightback. He needs a game soon and this should suit him just fine

theklr · Mar 11, 2020

Since Lingard isnt there, is it possible to hope for a Gomes sub now?

Devil may care · Mar 11, 2020

Shaw is in the squad so he could be LB and Williams RB.

RedDevilRoshi · Mar 11, 2020

Starting XI:

Romero

Williams
Tuanzebe
Bailly
Shaw

McTominay
Pereira

Greenwood
Mata
Chong

Ighalo

subs:
Bishop
Lindelof
Maguire
Matic
Gomes
Fernandes
James

Score Prediction:
LASK Linz 0-2 Manchester United

Tuanzebe probably but i'd like to see Williams on the right side, think he'd actually be better there personally.

How the hell would you know?

I'm psychic and I've seen the future.

Or... he's naturally right footed and would probably be more comfortable going forward? just a hunch. He cuts inside an awful lot recently and I think with his speed he'd be less hesitant.

He did switch to the right against Chelsea away on his first start and did well for 10 mins or so.

Williams or Bailly rb?

Bailly I’d say. Williams likes that LB wingback role

Full bodied red · Mar 11, 2020

I did once watch a match on a dirty, wet, November night in Stranraer when there were, at most, 150 people inside the ' stadium ' if we can call it that.

But I've never actually seen a match where spectators are excluded.

So this time, I'll be watching with interest to see if -

( 1 ) When a player is ' injured ' in a doubtful tackle, whether he'll roll over two or three times and then thump the turf to let everyone know how badly he's ' injured '

And

( 2 ) When a player scores, will there be the exagerrated celebrations - a 10 yard knee slide with a matador arm swing to finish followed by seven or eight team mates jumping on his back before they move away so that he can do a fist bang on the club badge before going back to the halfway line for the restart.

Jaap · Mar 11, 2020

Romero
Bailly Maguire Shaw
Dalot McTominay Pereira Williams
Mata
Greenwood Ighalo

Looks likely & I think this team’ll get at least a draw tomorrow.

Dinghy · Mar 11, 2020

Expecting to see the diamond formation:

-------------------Romero-------------------------
AWB-------Bailly----Maguire----Shaw---
---------------------Fred----------------------------
McTominay-----------Fernandes
---------------------Mata---------------------------
---Greenwood-------Ighalo------------------

Score prediction: 1-3

Alemar · Mar 11, 2020

Where are Dalot and Pogba?

Ali Dia · Mar 11, 2020

Wearing my sensible hat I’d rest players for this and try and knick a goal to bring home. I don’t think the likes of Bruno Shaw Fred or Maguire need to start. It would be good to try and keep them fresh for tougher games ahead?

the other argument is get it over with in the first leg and let the youngsters get a run out at OldTrafford? Tuanzebe Chong Gomes Laird and Garner mustn't be that far away from getting some game time. Leave the big guns on the bench just in case.

Brilliant

Adcuth · Mar 11, 2020

Be the perfect game for Garner this. Lower level opposition and we need to rest a few players.

If we can keep the crowd quiet in the first twenty minutes we should be ok.

These were seen at the airport:

De Gea, Romero, Bishop.

Williams, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw, Tuanzebe, Bailly.

Gomes, Pereira, Matic, McTominay, Fernandes, Fred, Mata.

Greenwood, James, Chong, Ighalo.

Just 20? And risky low no. of defenders? weird. Wonder if the rest is joining later.. or not.

Yeah, usually 20 players travel and 2 will be left out of match day squad.

prateik · Mar 12, 2020

Play all the kids we want to test.. none of it matters.. All football will be suspended before the end of the season anyway.

Big Andy · Mar 12, 2020

Need to quieten the crowd first, then hit them with a few goals...

Havak · Mar 12, 2020

Assume Bishop and Gomes are the most likely to be left out of the 18.

Romero
Williams Bailly Maguire Shaw
McTominay Matic
Mata Fernandes James
Ighalo
---
de Gea; Tuanzebe, Lindelof; Fred, Andreas, Chong; Greenwood

Hope for something like this to get the job done in an hour or so if possible. Then start subbing off Maguire, Fernandes and one of James/Ighalo for Tuanzebe, Chong, Andreas/Greenwood. I think the return leg is the better option for playing a side with more changes if we can come away from here with a couple of away goals or better.

Finish the game like this ideally:

Romero
Williams Bailly Tuanzebe Shaw
McTominay Matic
Greenwood Mata Chong
Ighalo

That is genuinely funny - best post for months.

jderbyshire · Mar 12, 2020

It all feels a bit strange with everything being up in the air.

But we have to assume for now that we're playing Spurs on Sunday and should make sure a few are rested for that. That's a huge game.

Romero
Tuanzebe Bailly Maguire Williams
McTominay Pereira
Greenwood Mata James
Ighalo

0-2.

Nou_Camp99 · Mar 12, 2020

I think there's more chance of the domestic seasons being completed than the European competitions. Afterall even if the PL is played behind closed doors it doesn't require international travel etc so it should still go ahead you'd think.

Our squad should be heavily rotated tonight. We need the full team fresh for Sunday's game at Spurs. We have a second leg as well in case we need to pull it back.

Offside · Mar 12, 2020

Perfect game for Gomes - playing in front of no spectators.

What? Where have you been? Self isolating for 6 months?

It'll definitely be interested to see how players and also the refs behave.
I have never watched a match which had zero spectators.

Random Task · Mar 12, 2020

Is this game still going ahead?

groovyalbert · Mar 12, 2020

This feels a bit like batting on when you know you haven't got the overs left to chase a total. Only a matter of time before European seasons are suspended.

SirAnderson · Mar 12, 2020

May as well go all out. This and maybe the Spurs game could well and truly be the last we watch our team play for the for foreseeable future.

0-4, lets smash them.

You are probably right. Just pretend this is the last one or two matches of the season.. cause it most likely are.

mav_9me · Mar 12, 2020

My prediction : this and rest of sport is going to be cancelled.

Don't think the games will happen this weekend. Everything is shutting down, it can't be long before the prem is shut also.

It absolutely sucks but it seems the whole world in quarantine is the only possible way forwards.

Nou_Camp99 · Mar 12, 2020

Rumours rife that an announcement is coming later today to state that both the Europa n CL are suspended. Season is really in turmoil now. No chance these competitions are being completed.

Samid · Mar 12, 2020

Postponed (according to Marca).

I think so too.

Will be a bit hit to the economies, but it's the only way.

Alabaster Codify7 · Mar 12, 2020

Game off, then. For the best to be honest.

Not sure, I assume it means after these matches? We're already in Austria playing behind closed doors, not sure why the match couldn't be finished.
