Fred and Lingard to start for fitness, Pogba possibly too.

2-0 United win.

Think Pogba will be a sub. Probably get about 30 minutes. Lingard and Fred will start for sure.

Mellor is a much better option - Hoogewerf doesn't even impress at U18-level, whereas Mellor has done quite well at reserves-level

Yeah I get that, just feel hoogerwerf has a higher ceiling than Mellor

Let's not do a Spurs. Bit of self respect.

Beans · Sep 24, 2019

Such an easy game, and with Arsenal coming up, I'm taking a chance and picking Garner to start with Fred and Gomes. Probably picking one too many Academy players, but with so many injuries our hand is forced.

Romero
Dalot Tuanzebe Jones Rojo
Fred Garner
Lingard Gomes Chong
Greenwood

always_hoping · Sep 24, 2019

No such thing as such an easy game especially with all the doom and gloom around Old Trafford at the moment and if Rochdale turn up and play this game like their cup final it could become tricky

Colchester United are worse than Rochdale but they knocked Spurs out tonight a warning that United should heed and hopefully whatever 11 is selected to start they come into this game prepared right and with focused minds to deliver the desired result...

They play better football than us.

They'll probably tear us apart with some of that football. Oh dear, i was hoping for a comfortable night.

I’m not sure whether I’d prefer them to park the bus or have a go at us at this point :nervous:

Next league game is against Arsenal, so it's better to play only kids and back up players if we have any.

Would go with

Romero; Dalot Tuanzebe Jones Rojo; Garner Matic; Lingard Gomes Chong; Greenwood.

Why play Garner and Matic in the same team? They are both #6s and will get in each other's way. Play: Garner, Levitt. Why play Lingard ahead of Ramazani? Ramazani is in-form, a proper winger, and freely scoring for U-23s.

I wanted Levitt to play but thought it will be too many young players. Also Matic isn't good enough for first team, so just threw him for cup game.

Would go with Levitt for sure. Him and Garner had very good partnership this season. Also Ramazani played on monday, so doubt he will be involved.

Rochdale look a bit like a slower version of our U-23s. Southend gave them no proper press; and didn't attempt a single tackle in that clip. No wonder they were able to walk it into the net.

Hadn't realized. I guess he won't be starting tonight; which means Lingard.

I just watched that clip of Rochdale's goals against Southend and noticed Southend consistently gave Rochdale time and space; which Matic sometimes does. Garner and Levitt will press them tightly. If we play our best U-23s with a senior player defense Rochdale should be pressed off the pitch.

jackal&hyde · Sep 25, 2019

The players i want to see the most are Dalot, Tuanzebe, Gomes, Fred and Greenwood. If fit, Garner should get minutes too.

Castia · Sep 25, 2019

I tell you what I've got an awful feeling about this one.

We aren't playing well and will probably play a team full of players that aren't match fit.

Our U21s played against Rotherham and played them off the park, not sure if they played their full strength team. So we should win the game easily no matter which team we play.

Of course then we are talking about ManUtd, going by last 6 seasons, we might do worse than our U21s.

On for me where I live. That being said starts at 9pm local time. If the first half is the same I will go to bed

I live close to Southend, and they're pretty shit TBH.

Teams have nothing to lose by getting themselves up against PL opposition though. They're expected to lose so will go all out to play.

Without comparing the level of competition when we talk about "patterns", playing identity and coaching this is what we refer to. It's not bought with 200m it's created. Just might save this video for reference

Treble · Sep 25, 2019

Play only players who won't feature against Arsenal. No need to risk regular starters against Rochdale.

Matic is simply not good enough, full stop. He shouldn’t play any games

Ideally yeah, but not with the squad we have.

Adcuth · Sep 25, 2019

We got a squad list yet?

Thank god for that. I have a feeling that the latest Brexit saga might be more exciting, well not really but I can think of better ways than spending a Wed evening.

Alabaster Codify7 · Sep 25, 2019

If this was at Rochdale, I'd stick a fiver on a 1-0 upset or something. But I can't see past a drab victory for us at OT. 2-0 is my guess, we'll look comfortable but won't look like scoring many.

I reckon if the lads turn up with the right attitude, and Ole gets the tactics spot on, we just might cause an upset.

Said Laird and Garner will be in the squad, reported by Times. Looks like they have updated it.
