Do you feel the same for Jose?

Yes. I always liked Jose even before he was our manager.

I don't want him as our manager anymore but I wouldnt rewrite history. I remember the day he left Chelsea for the first time. Him live on sky at some random restaurant in London. I was both happy and sad that he had gone.

We're going into this game clearly out of form. We have been since the season started. However, people wrote us off against an in form Chelsea, where, had it not been a last second goal by Ross Barkley we'd have taken three points at Stamford Bridge, and fullly deserved it, in my opinion.

Arsenal seemed to have upped it this season, but they've been quite lucky this season. If we can play like we did at Chelsea, then I see no reason why we shouldn't be beating Arsenal.

I would like to see a 4222

De Gea
Young Smalling Jones Shaw
Herrera Fred
Lingard Pogba
Rashford Martial

Young suspended. Shaw and Smalling are doubts.

You also know that if Smalling is fit, then it will be Matic straight back into that midfield.

Surely there will be loads of empty seats for this one? I'd absolutely 8-2 be there.

The way we're playing they very well could return the favor.

DDG
Dalot Jones Rojo Darmian
Fred Herrera Pogba
Lingard Lukaku Rashford

MyOnlySolskjaer · Dec 2, 2018

No matter how shit we are I'm confident we won't lose to them at home.

marukomu · Dec 2, 2018

It says 9am JST start for me. A midnight kick-off? It doesn't need to be that late to be a fecking nightmare.

Annihilate Now! · Dec 2, 2018

We'll probably let Mkihi score against us... For the laughs

Canagel · Dec 2, 2018

Line up could be absolutely anything

DDG
Dalot Bailly Jones Shaw
Pogba Herrera Fred
Lingard
Rashford Martial

WPMUFC · Dec 2, 2018

part of me is now wondering if there is any scoreline that arsenal could win by that would snap woodward into action. If Arsenal steamroll us 3/4-0 can we please be put out of our misery now instead of "waiting for top 4 to be mathematically impossible". Does paying Jose a huge amount of money now really matter in the grand schemes of club? Arsenal actually have players that can play football. This isn't palace / Saints. We could be absolutely obliterated in 4 days.

RedDevilRoshi · Dec 2, 2018

Thought I would never say this when coming up against Arsenal but I’m not looking forward to this at all. This could potentially be there first league win at Old Trafford for God knows how long.

kps88 · Dec 2, 2018

The kickoff time mentioned is incorrect.

Kapardin · Dec 2, 2018

2-8 Arse. Revenge.

ThatsGreat · Dec 2, 2018

Utd to win this big and Mourinho gets a 2 year contract extension.

EwanI Ted · Dec 2, 2018

Jeez this is a big game now. Will be interesting to see how the Arsenal Spurs game pans out, but right now you’d have to fancy Arsenal based on recent form.

Trouble with predicting this game is that this new Arsenal are hard to judge. Old Arsenal would always hand you three points in a crisis. Even Moyes got a temporary boost by beating them. Not sure about this team though. They have a fairly poor record in games vs the top teams so far this season, but tbf they’ve competed well in those games. On the other hand I don’t think their performances matched their results when they got that run of 10 wins in a row in all competitions.

Still, not much points to a United win. Heart’s hoping for a 1-0 win to us. Suspect it might be a narrow win for them.

hasanejaz88 · Dec 2, 2018

I'm going for a United win. Arsenal aren't a team fit the big games and I can see Jose getting one over then. 3-1 United.

Devil may care · Dec 2, 2018

Shaw and Rashford came off with knocks, Young is suspended, Valencia is injured and Darmian wasn't in yesterday's match day squad, so I'm guessing at this for our starting 11.

By 20 hours.

SqueakyWeasel · Dec 2, 2018

This again, really? Another match already? When's the next international break?

Irrational. · Dec 2, 2018

0-1 and hopefully the final nail in Jose's coffin.

On my birthday too.

Flying_Heckfish · Dec 2, 2018

First time in a long time that I am fully expecting us to lose at home to Arsenal

mitchmouse · Dec 2, 2018

can only see disaster - with Arsenal then thinking they are world-beaters

Spurs beat us 3-0 there and it was used as a sign of progress.

Remember that :lol:

That's assuming that Lukaku/Rashford/Smalling will be fit and ready. But yeah, I think that's our most likely first 11.

Phil · Dec 2, 2018

Bit late for a game, no?

Catt · Dec 2, 2018

12 am. Are they insane?

I think there needs to be more of this on here.

It is very possible to like Jose. To rate Jose as a manager and respect his body of work and not want him to be our manager anymore.

That is a very fair point.
I wanted Jose to succeed SAF and was kind of pleased when he was appointed.

I am have huge respect for his various achievements. But and an increaseingly big but, it is becoming obvious that things are not working out as hoped and expected.
Something needs to change. If the dressing room atmosphere is as toxic as appears Jose is not likely to be able to turn it round.

My real concern is that this episode may well be repeated again next time unless we have a comprehensive clear out and re-build with players hungry for success and prepared to do whatever it takes to win for United.

12OunceEpilogue · Dec 2, 2018

Funnily enough I can see us boring them into submission and scraping a draw. Then again they could easily obliterate us, we're in such a fecking state.

Watching them now.

They will go for it. Seem mentally stronger than before.

Kapardin · Dec 2, 2018

8-2 looks very doable. For them.

I am sad that it hasn't worked out obviously.

It's toxic with him at the moment. But he was a damn good manager at some point. Just not with us.

AndyJ1985 · Dec 2, 2018

We'll "park the bus" and go for the smash and grab. It'll be dull as shit but wouldn't be surprised if it works and cries of "we've turned a corner" can be heard throughout the land.

A lot will go OTT over the game today forgetting they performed exactly like this at home to Spurs last season under Wenger when they won 2-0

It's bloody annoying how much better they're playing than us though given they're the most depisable bunch of cnut fan base

Rado_N · Dec 2, 2018

As if we're even capable of parking the bus.

Southampton broke us down quite easily. Arsenal will tear our defence to shreds.

LuisNaniencia · Dec 2, 2018

Need pure energy in midfield, but will get Fellaini and Matić.

Don't remember the last time I was so confident we are gonna lose against Arsenal at OT.

Minimalist · Dec 2, 2018

Arsenal can actually attack.

That's concerning. :lol:

I doubt it's Arsenal that will trigger the reaction.

We made a woeful Southampton look top rate yesterday. Struggled against an awful Young boys. I think we are bad. And I actually expect us to get worse. We have not reached our trough imo.

They are going to thrash us...
