Can’t quite believe that’s the team to be honest. I think it’s a bad line up but we usually win when I think that.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

I say 24 mins in, Fred will get bookedHopefully, McTominay is at the base of midfield, with Fred on the sides.
Can you imagine SAF's reaction back in the day?
What would you have played?Big pressure on Ole with the lineup and formation he's picked. There'll be more questions asked if the formation fails or De Gea/Pogba/Shaw/McTominay let us down again.
Haha thanks, I get it now. Keep the good work!
Mctomminay will be an annoying fecker for 45mins and break up attacks, foul, get in their faces. Will be subbed for vdb at HT maybe.
Not Pogba or De Gea.
Finally some sense in this thread. Ole clearly the worst human being in the entire planet, and all those who don't see it are just blinkered fools.
List of the worst people in the world right now :
1. Ole
2. Trump
3. Boris Johnson
4. King Jong Un
5. Cuneyt CakirI hope Dive performes good and we win. Not because I am a fan of his, but so he can get some value up and be sold on Jan.1.
But expecting a lot of jogging and juggling with a ball, and not tracking back or giving flying kite about the game from our Diva.
I mean everybody was pretty much saying the same about the lineup earlier this week and we all knew how that ended.
I think it's more of a 2 to share. Scott on the right, Fred on the left. Free role to go counter press for Fred and get us a break. Bruno will run a lot.
The key for us will be to find a way to keep Bruno high up on the pitch. If we do so, we will most likely score. If he comes down, Fred, Pogba, Rashford, Greenwood or Maguire all have to shout to him to go higher up on the pitch, because that's where we will hurt them. And a lot.
Possibly but even then they would have the chance to win and match that tie breaker. Fine margins and all, ha.
Again, it's this thing called reality.
You think Klopp gets all his top targets? Did Fergie for that matter? Do you seriously believe neither of them have ever signed players the club have scouted and recommended but might not have been their first choice for whatever position? Difference between them and Ole of course is that they can make more from less and don't need a superstar in literally every position to have a hope of winning titles.
The club scouting system recommended Herrera to Moyes and LVG, Fred to Mourinho and VdB to Ole. That happens whoever the fecking CEO is.Hang on i've read this week that Ole said even though we were easily dumped out the Ch Lge from a fantastic start we're improving and Pogba turns up for training so what can possibly go wrong?Another formation change again. I'm not complaining and given the circumstances of the players unavaiIable or not fit enough to start think it makes sense. Can we win it? Sure if the right players show up today. I've no doubt we can win it. Will we? Who knows, I could see it go either way. One of those games.Ah those halcyon days, when all we had to worry about was Frogie and Goggs ruining our club. Now, after that desecration, we're in for a new one. Ole is at the wheel. We're about to be driven into a wall. It's all over. ABANDON ALL HOPE - POGBA IS STARTING. Stop supporting the team right now. No point. The only productive thing left to do is to complain on an internet message board and OCCASSIONALLY capitalize words.Moyes,LVG,Jose and now Ole have never really got who they truly wanted in the transfer market. Heck, they probably didn't even get their 2nd or 3rd choices.
Beek was a bargain price and we moved on him like a b*tch. Did he fit into our way of playing ? who cares. Appease the fans because they're starting to get restless, especially with Chelsea's early spending.Last edited:Shaw? just bck from injury, shite midweek.....starts twice in for days. Olé is a walkover for some of these players. Stroll straight back into starting 11The ineffective diamond returns. Good lord.
Also, why can't we pretend Paul Pogba doesn't exist.Lord Pog to score a double salvo
I cannot believe DvdB is on the bench yet again but the Scottish rugby player is starting again after having a shit performance mid-week. Get Solskajer and his clueless team out.
Is that what he did when he come on midweek?City have gone pretty defensive.
Why isn't Laporte starting?
We play not to lose thats why you got 7 defensive players on the pitch again.
give me an example of when Pogba has controlled the midfield... actually give me one where he's won the midfield battle against tams such as West Ham or Southampton or WBA. what's tiresome is being told he must be good because he won a World CupWow. I am a huge DDG fan, but how the feck is that pussy starting today?
Add Bissaka and Maguire to that
I'm a bit baffled that people think it's a bad lineup. What lineup did you want out of interest?
fairly irrelevant too - I don''t see one CL table topping team we could beat in the knockout stage
Absolutely this. We are not playing to win. We almost are fielding ten men as Fred & McT duplicate each other so much.
There’s nothing offensive about this lineup save for how offensive it is.
Can't be that huge of a fan if you call him that.
Or just employ a coach who'll make do with whatever they're being provided with instead of hiring people under the title of manager when their position is actually the coach.
If he’s doing all that then why would he be subbed at HtWhen the caf doesn't like the lineup, we do well.
Pogba will have a worldie now he's in the shop window, get a bet on him scoring and assisting.
A diamond only works well if you have full-backs who attack. We... don't.
Also, Fred very rarely plays well with Pogba in the side.
This could be a disaster. But City have gone a bit defensive, so I would expect a pretty stale game at first.
Grealish and Sancho would have cost a combined 180 million pounds. Do you really think that was possible? Grealish was probably our first choice but as soon as Villa stayed up we weren’t spending 80 mill on him.Fernandinho with his first foul before 7 minutes. Interesting that Cancelo starts at LB, he's been better at RB this year. I don't rate Gabriel J that much, but as long as he's running around with KDB behind him, need to mark KDB from the half way line to wherever he goes. Slow down KDB, slow down City.- Status
