Manchester United 0:0 Liverpool

Devil may care · Feb 24, 2019

McTominay, Mata and Lukaku is handing a huge advantage to Liverpool.

NJM78 · Feb 24, 2019

Matic and Martial out huge blow. Lukaku and McTominay starting always puts me on a downer and Smalling all arms is a nervous one for me, would've gone Bailly.

Will stick with my 2-2, but Liverpool to win if any.

sglowrider · Feb 24, 2019

This injury-ravaged line-up, has been deflating.

TMDaines · Feb 24, 2019

McTominay is a surprise but think Matic travelled and everything, so it will be interesting to learn if something has happened or if he was carrying an injury and was travelling as a decoy.

I’ve slated McTominay enough, but Pereira is less competent and Fred has yet to show the mindset to play for United in the league. I feel McTominay is more able a deputy for Matic than he would be for Pogba or Herrera, and whilst Matic has been fine since Ole joined, he’s probably the one player I’ve earmarked as being unexceptional. Not the biggest loss in other words.

He isn’t the walking embodiment of everything wrong with United either.

Sod off and watch Fellaini’s new team in China.

feck up

CM · Feb 24, 2019

Lingard on the bench is a shame but the rest of the line-up is about as expected

PlayerOne · Feb 24, 2019

Don't understand people moaning about the line-up, not much Ole could do really. Mata for Sanchez maybe, but that's it really. The injuries have exposed how weak the squad is.

JonDahl · Feb 24, 2019

We are gonna fecking batter them

Tom Van Persie · Feb 24, 2019

Come on United!

You are worked up aren’t you . We should have just sold Fellaini in the summer. It was stupid selling him now.

We sold Fellaini years too late.

Hilarious reactions on here

C’mon United!

Organic Potatoes · Feb 24, 2019

Paul is going to have to pull off something special again with that front 3.

TrueRed79 · Feb 24, 2019

Not feeling confident but it's a derby and we will be up for it. Huge, huge game for McTominay. Could make or break him.

MuFc_1992 · Feb 24, 2019

We can whine all we like but there's no other option than playing McTominay at CDM if Matic is injured.

An Irish Red · Feb 24, 2019

I think Sanchez would have been a better choice than Mata (too slow) or Lukaku (too Lukaku).

reddaz71 · Feb 24, 2019

Matic being out emphasises how threadbare the midfield actually is, if Pogba gets injured as well there's hardly a midfield at all, here's hoping for some Saudi investment this summer...

Why the feck are we playing Milner at RB?

Because he's a horrible prick who always raises his game at Old Trafford

IrishRedDevil · Feb 24, 2019

Milner at right back and we don’t have Martial there to test him with pace

No Matic is a massive blow.

AgentSquirrel · Feb 24, 2019

State of this thread :lol:

. McTominay is nowhere near as bad as the hysteria queens on here would suggest. He was fine in this game last season. There is literally no other reasonable team selection to be made given the injuries. It's the best lineup we have available.

AJ10 · Feb 24, 2019

Hopefully mata is playing as a 10 rather than as a RW

PoTMS · Feb 24, 2019

Damning on Fred and Pereira that McTominay starts instead of Brazilian internationals. They're all shite tbf.

Oga on top. · Feb 24, 2019

People are seriously underestimating this Matic injury. He's been class and simple in the same breath since Ole has come in.

Was thinking there’s some tactical reason I’m not seeing. I think we lose some of our offensive capability without TAA at RB.

He'll be very useful for doubling up on Pogba which is basically half your job done.

wut?

MrSingh2002 · Feb 24, 2019

Just a reminder Mctominay played a blinder last season when we won 2.0.

He ate them up. Atleast give the fecker a chance. If he plays poorly save the rant for half time.

ManchesterYoda · Feb 24, 2019

Mata playing central again? I hope! If he is central I think he will score or create at least one goal today

Sanche7 · Feb 24, 2019

Interesting line up, maybe McTominay provides a bit more mobility than Matic and maybe that's why he's replacing Matic I guess.
Needs Lukaku and Mata to step up today, looks like the back five, even the FBs, will sit back and defend whereas the front five will attack with Herrera acting as the link between attack and defense

Wilt · Feb 24, 2019

McTominay ...wtf!

I’ll eat my left nut if anyone predicted this lineup.

Just because you might have made one mistake, does not mean you should go make another. I didn’t have a problem with Fellaini but I wouldn’t have complained if we just sold him in the summer.

Cloud7 · Feb 24, 2019

Big game for Scotty. Hope he rises to the occasion. I can see Ole sending Herrera out with instructions to get forward less than he usually does, to minimize the risk of Scott being overwhelmed in midfield.

Gee Male · Feb 24, 2019

He will have to play in the middle.

Maybe the Linhard role as false 9, Rashford and Lukaku pushed to the right and left.

I'm less confident now, but can still see us winning this.

peridigm · Feb 24, 2019

Herrera, Pogba, Rashford, and DDG need to have MOTM performances today. I'm more worried starting Lukaku than I am McTominay. This season's Lukaku is like we're playing a man down. It looks like any attacking substitution will need to be Sanchez or Lingard which is also worrying. Sanchez has been shit and Lingard is probably not 100% fit otherwise he'd be starting. Still feel we can manage this if we don't make silly mistakes. Defense and midfield need to play out of their skin.

Adam-Utd · Feb 24, 2019

Mata chasing Robertson is a bit of a worry, but he will try his best. we don’t have anybody else to do that job realistically.

SilentWitness · Feb 24, 2019

McTominay is a big shout, one that will either be labeled after the game as a revelation or a travesty.

Catt · Feb 24, 2019

They will kill us on the counter. On paper this United team seems very easy to stop.

Cockney Phil · Feb 24, 2019

That squad is strong enough to win.

Try Faith in Ole, works wonders against Scouse like weaknesses and other lingering doubts.

Sandikan · Feb 24, 2019

Lineup looks really ropey so hopefully the occasion lifts us!

Bet they wouldn't have risked milner at right back if martial had been around. Presuming he's actually at right back

Judas · Feb 24, 2019

Mata over Sanchez is fine, the latter has shown time and time again that he’s not up to it right now. I trust Mata way more in a big game even if he’s a snail.

I’m pleased we’re in a position to pick McTominay instead.
