    Don't give a feck about this game tbh. The atmosphere at Old Trafford in this game will be the worst since years and rightly so.

    Jose had a dig regarding the atmosphere but I think fans need to see intent to win to create atmosphere. At one point during that Sevilla game I was thinking have this lot been paid off or taken a bribe. We looked like we didn't care in the first half.

    FFS have a word with yourself, even before tonight the FA Cup was our only realistic chance of a trophy and you don't give a feck about it? Just feck off altogether then

    el3mel’s comment is harmless. Take a look at the guy who wants to lose to get rid of Mourinho!

    Are you the ref?
    Think we might see a few changes.






    It could go either way, the team know they have nothing else to play for as do the fans, it's possible all will enter Old Trafford with a focus and determination, or it could be toxic.
    What on earth makes you think that Sanchez deserves to start in what has become our most important game of the season?

    More negative tactics with a slow tempo and Brighton scoring through Glenn Murray in the 83rd minute before Martial equalising in the 90th minute before going out on pens

    I don't think he should start, I'm taking a guess at the team and I think there's zero chance that Mourinho drops Sanchez.

    Yep I saw it and he's clearly not worth anyone's engergy replying to, anyone who says they can't be bothered with a game that was always going to be our most realistic chance of wining a trophy though just begs the question why bother watching football at all if it's not to see your team win trophies?

    He wants to get rid of Jose because he hate Jose thats fine. Wishing United to lose is damn right sore loser if one.
    Was kinda asking a guy who is quoting for shaming just dunno where my quote text went.

    Not going to be able to watch this.... want to say id hope we respond well and hammer them with great attacking football, but that's not Mourinho. A drab win and suddenly it'll be "in the semi final", job done, shit like that.

    I’m sure he’ll watch it - just a heat of the moment thing, I guess.
    QF replays were axed after 2016
    Yes, that’s right!

    «A guy» :lol:

    Wanting United to lose - especially in a FA Cup QF is just horrible. Not much more to say.

    Wanting United to lose is horrible, was just wondering did you quote people for future shaming for the same thing while we were under LvG in his 2nd season or then it was ok because you know it wasnt JM.

    Because you know, you having a go at the guy for wishing us to lose, singling him out while there are others here running around who did the same in the past (just under different manager), or people who dont see anything wrong with a person wishing us to lose game. Hell one of those is a freaking scout here, guess person who gives likes to newbies so they can get promoted (not sure whats their role exactly).

    Not looking forward to this. My mood has been ruined by the exit from the CL. I hope to see some excitement and some attacking football. I'd like to see us try to win games and to stop the negative BS Team:

    DDG
    Darmian Bailly Smalling Shaw
    Mata Matic Pogba Martial
    Lukaku Rashford

    Flat 4-4-2. Play with overlapping fullbacks and use the width of the pitch. Just go for the kill. Try to score as many as possible. Play like we did 2nd half vs Palace.​

    Should give Shaw a chance to work those pizzas off:

    De Gea

    Valencia Bailly Lindelof Shaw

    McTominay Matic

    Mata Lingard Martial

    Lukaku​

    Yes Darmian. He can't do any worse than Valencia so just send him out there and tell him to overlap and put quality balls in the box. I'm sick and tired of Valencia hoofing the ball to nobody. Darmian has been very poor too but what choice do we have? Maybe Lingard as an auxiliary RB? We should've kept one of TFM or Tuanzebe though.

    Good reply. It figures tho, you dont give a feck about him wishing us to lose games, part where he said how its a good price to pay if it means getting rid of your landlord is what you made all riled up.

    I know he is, hope you have a flashlight at least, must be dark up there.

    It was a straight question about your non double standard stance regarding people wishing us to lose and you decided to put that in bold and tell me to go to sleep :lol:, the state of you.

    Edit: Wont go any further here because its not thread for it.

    We’ll probably go out and Mourinho will get sacked. That would be the season summed up in a nutshell.

    De Gea
    Valencia Bailly Lindelöf Shaw
    McTominay Fellaini
    Mata Ibrahimovic Rashford
    Lukaku

    Ugh. Do we have to? First time this season I can say I’m ready for internationals so I don’t have to watch football. Probably going to be a 1-0 snooze fest.

    Need to bounce back.

    Mata and McTominay will most likely start.

    Lingard and Pogba likely benched considering their performances.

    Could see Martial coming in instead of Rashford who did fine, while Sanchez as CAM.

    As for Fella.. Jose depends on him too much. As much as I like Fella, just start him on the bench Jose and brings him on when and only if we needs him.

    Could we see Valencia benched (twice now he have been subbed off for poor performances) swapping with probably Lindelof or Darmian? or Young RB with Shaw LB? Prefer the latter, Young is more natural on the right, and Shaw would brings more balance to the team with the constant width he provides on the left.

    Quoted for future shaming.
    Could not give a flying feck. Mourinho can spend another billion but his style of football won't change. You can quote me then or everyday from here on out, @SirAF quoting me won't bother me one bit.
