    Under normal circumstances Man United would be beating Newcastle in Old Trafford though this anything but normal including another makeshift defence with a midfielder filling in who will likely be playing in Saudi retirement League for former stars next season.
     
    well that's quite the interesting lineup given 2 CB's on the bench and 3 forwards on the bench yet Bruno or McT is playing a false 9

    interesting tactic
     
    Did we ever play a full first XI this season? For me that's

    Onana, Dalot, Varane, Martinez, Shaw, Casemiro, Mainoo, Bruno, two out of Antony - Rashy - Garnacho, Hojlund

    It's more the fact that Hojlund has had to play with Garnacho/Rashford/Antony on the wings with Bruno for the majority of the season i.e all players who don't really find him and are more likely shoot/cross badly than play him in. On top of that, our none existent midfield usually consists of a 18 year old asked to press high and whoever else is fit but usually not Amrabt; someone, who despite not being good enough usually plays in an orthodox way, which is more conducive for progressive football.

    Heard Bruno was starting, got excited at the prospect of Amrabat, Mainoo, Bruno, Amad, Garnacho and Hojlund finally being our front 6, but nope. We will never play this six together.


    I was thinking the same!

    Probably for the best for him to come on and affect the game positively.
     
    Casemiro in CB again with 2 on the bench :lol:

    This is how you know ETH doesnt have the capacity to learn or improve. If it were up to him, 5 years on he'd still be here playing Casemiro and Rashford in every game.
     
    The ideal is that it should be McTominay playing upfront with his physicality and height.
    The reality is that it will be Bruno at false 9 playing up top with no abililty to hold a ball up, play with his back to goal or offer any aerial option.
     
    As none of the terminally lame have managed to rise from their sick beds, ten Hag has his post match excuses already written.
     
    Casemiro in there for his farewell tour in front of the home fans?

    Only reason that makes sense for him starting today.
     
    Feels like we haven’t won for so long!!
    Yeah, and it looks even worse when you look at our last games. I always prefer Wiki-style.

    £400 millions and this is our line up. This cnut of a manager is the biggest fraud in football history.
    It’s gone amiss that’s he actually lost 19 from 49 games and it could soon be 22 from 52 or 43% loss rate!
     
    People do realise that players take time to get match fit right? Just because they're on the bench, doesn't mean they're ready for 90. Especially long term absentees.

    I don't think ETH should be here next season, but caftards going seriously overboard on the lineup criticism.
     
    I hate Newcastle so much, I honestly cant say for certainly if I'd be more gutted losing this or the FA Cup final. At least the latter is expected.
