Manchester United 1:0 Leicester City

Snafu17 · Sep 13, 2019

We've dropped points against teams we should win with pretty much the full squad. I can't imagine we'll get anything from the game against a solid opposition with some of our most important players missing.

Raw · Sep 13, 2019

What little hope I had is gone. Feck me our squad is thin.

FootyGirl88 · Sep 13, 2019

Can we go 3 at the back with Rojo and Young as FBs??

Tunazebe Maguire Lindeolf

Young McTominay Matic Rojo

Mata

Rashord James

I love Garner but he's nit ready for a game like Leicester yet. I'd guess Scott, Matic, Periera. Yuck

Top class midfield that. It's like the football gods want to punish Woodwards incompetence instantly this season.

Offside · Sep 13, 2019

3-1 United.

Maybe Fred back.

Maybe if someone can find out where Phil Jones is, he could play RB

Think I'm making Vardy this week's Fantasy Football captain

I mean starting with 10 players would definitely be one way of making things even harder for ourselves.

Mcking · Sep 13, 2019

Leicester will field a comfortably better XI to go with a better manager.
De gea>Schemeicel
Young<Pereira
Rojo<Chilwell
Lindelof=Evans
Maguire>Soyuncu
Matic<Ndidi
McTominay=Choudhury
Mata<Tielemans
Pereira<Maddison
James=Albrighton
Rashford<Vardy
Even De gea, McTominay and James being as good as their Leicester counterparts is arguable. I haven't watched much of James and Soyuncu, and De gea has been terrible for ages. They will have Barnes, Perez, and Praet on the bench, and we will have teenagers. Their team pisses all over ours across every position on paper. I won't be complaining if we don't win.

I did think a change of formation could be needed, personally though I'd go Young a RWB and James at LWB with Greenwood up front with Rashford

Plus Mata behind them, that could work.

without wanting to sound negative I do doubt Ole's nous to change formations given the injury situation. I fear he'll stick with the 4-2-3-1 and just fill the positions with those who are most comfortable there

Havak · Sep 13, 2019

I expect this now:

de Gea
Young Lindelof Maguire Rojo
McTominay Matic
Mata
Greenwood Rashford James
---
Romero; Tuanzebe, Jones; Andreas, Gomes, Lingard, Chong

Hopefully Wan-Bissaka is fit enough to start, maybe Fred on the bench over someone if he's up to speed yet (probably over Lingard if he fails a late fitness test). If none of our doubtful players make it back we really are down to bare bones already and it's only September... Garner would be the next most senior player to bring in after everyone else listed in this post.

I fancy us to lose this game but not heavily, I'm still going with Utd 1-2 Leicester, but I wouldn't be shocked if we drew or even managed to sneak the win. Would be an extremely good result if we win this game though, no doubt about that. Not being pessimistic as this is a good Leicester squad and we're stricken with injuries and not on good form.

Maybe people will finally realise that throwing 3 18 years old in the league doesnt actually work like in football manager

I hope not, we don't have the players for a 4231

Massive Spanner · Sep 13, 2019

So wait, Pogba and Martial are both injured?

Chris on a bike, this could be grim.

Depends what you mean by "work"

Lash · Sep 13, 2019

On the plus side, Gomes will probably make the bench. Wasn't that what most people were clamouring for?

To play with Pogba and Martial yes... :lol:

Surprised me that people weren’t aware we had all these injuries, must switch off during international week. I been dropping hints all week we were gonna be in trouble.

FootballHQ · Sep 13, 2019

Can see you starting Greenword tomorrow.

Certainly with those injuries Leicester will be looking at the 11 put out and be thinking they should be taking a point at least from this game.

tenpoless · Sep 13, 2019

Boss Ole please take a moment to listen to me.

Dakhia
Balot Linderloaf Macguire Beilly
Parera Matich Bugba
Rasfurd Mison Jems

If he is then I hope Ole plays him where he's best -through the middle. I don't see why he is being asked to do a job wide.

stu_1992 · Sep 13, 2019

Think anyone with a lot of youngsters in their line up will be disappointed. I reckon most of those will be held back until Thursday and we're far more likely to see people like Rojo, Matic and Mata in this game. Solskjaer hasn't shown much indication he's ready to trust the young players in League games yet and I don't see that changing yet.

Chong, Gomes and potentially Garner will be on the bench I reckon, Greenwood has got to start though. James and Rashford isn't enough up top.

But Ole will be the fall guy in the end.

robinamicrowave · Sep 13, 2019

De Gea
Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Young
McTominay, Matic, Pereira
Mata, Rashford, James

Gray, Vardy, Barnes
Maddison, Ndidi, Tielemans
Chilwell, Soyuncu, Evans, Ricardo
Schmeichel

Can only see a Leicester win.

I think most young forwards get shunted out there to protect them slightly. Someone like Wes Morgan flying into the back of him will do him no favours.

BusbyMalone · Sep 13, 2019

I wonder if Garner and Gomes will know get their chance. He did say in September and October they'll be in the team. Now seems as good as time as any.

Yeah I think the first two will definitely be on the bench. They almost have to be at this due to sheer lack of numbers if nothing else. Maybe Garner, but honestly I'd expect Greenwood to be on there too. I expect that Pereira or Mata (Maybe both) will be who is chosen for the forward section.

We have the EL on Thursday, you could see him throwing them in then and hoping for the best.

Injuries reminds me of the PSG game. Boys we're gonna win this

Same here. But the board is full of anti-Ole threads. Its gonna be the same shit

Possibly. I still think at least one of them will be on the bench on Saturday. Our squad is so thin they almost have to be on there.

Mark Pawelek · Sep 13, 2019

I don't think Matic and Mata can play in the same side. Both are slow. Played together we'll be run over. If we want to play Mata we must play Fred, not Matic. Otherwise we lose tomorrow.

always_hoping · Sep 13, 2019

Not the news i wanted to hear with Shaw,Martial,Pogba out and their replacements will likely be Young,Mata,Matic or Lingard which highlights how light on options United have in the panel now. (thanks to board and Woodward for leaving the panel the way it is)

Not confident of getting a result against a in form Leicester who unlike United have loads of creativity in their team and clinical striker.

No. People were clamouring for Gomes to play.

bondsname · Sep 13, 2019

This club is cursed. Almost half our starting XI is injured. It's ridiculous, is there a reason for these obscene amount of injuries? Something surely must be wrong.

Feck this fixture already. Dammit
