Probably 60/70 then Sanchez in.Sounds like Rashford is ok. Hope he starts.

Yes, we look attractive again nice to see us actully play football again, we can win this.Imagine how grim this fixture would have been if it was Mourinho versus Benitez? would have been beyond awful.
It feels great that we can look forward to football again.
rather lukaku get more games at striker personally. Think sanchez should replace lingard if he starts. He been playing all games since ole's arrivalProbably 60/70 then Sanchez in.
I really hope so! I'd love to see him on the right, think he'd do some damage there!Sanchez to be involved
Ole confirmed it in the press conference.I really hope so! I'd love to see him on the right, think he'd do some damage there!

I hope he does some damage to Newcastle and not us.I really hope so! I'd love to see him on the right, think he'd do some damage there!
Same here.Alexis is the one I’m most looking forward to watching.
Quite sure he said Darmian would be the back-up option.Unless I’ve got it wrong but I’m sure Ole said in his press conference that Darmian and Lindelof are the only two defenders that can play at centre available for this game? Darmian at CB
Didn’t know Phil Jones has picked up another mysterious injury?
The person asking the question specifically asked that OGS only has 2 fit CB's and if that is an issue, would they need to call-up Roshaun-Williams or someone, OGS said Darmian would be the backup CB.Unless I’ve got it wrong but I’m sure Ole said in his press conference that Darmian and Lindelof are the only two defenders that can play at centre available for this game?

Because it's a side that is bottom of the Championship, and a good time to give young players some minutes. We should be good enough to win still.I don't know why most of the people want rotation to happen for the cup game when realistically it is the only chance for Ole to win silverware. I think there might be rest in this game as well as Reading game.
I have a feeling that Sanchez will rediscover his form and be like a new signing.Sanchez to be involved
Really should recall Axel if we canQuite sure he said Darmian would be the back-up option.
How’s he been doing at Villa?Really should recall Axel if we can
He's injured at the moment and out for most of Jan, but I agree with your sentiments if we offload some of our 5 senior Centre BacksReally should recall Axel if we can
no no the last thing we need is for Marcus to move away from the centre and shoehorned on the wing. If he's not ready to start this game put Alexis in the false 9 but if he is available then Alexis must go to the right but almost as second striker with freedom to get inside just like Lingard was doing before with added goal threat and more creativity.If Alexis is fit I want to see him starting instead of lingard. Possibly even put Marcus on the wing and play Alexis as a 9. I don't think he has the pace in him anymore to keep running up and down the wings. We should try him more centrally.
He has been doing really well. Unfortunately though he recently suffered a foot injury and have missed the last 4 games. Prior to that he had started the last 13 games playing till the final minute in everyone of those games as CB. We can only hope he will regain his spot and form when coming back but recalling him would be an incredibly daft decision considering the amount of valuable experience the lad is getting over there. However I do wonder how Axel will respond to a setback like this. He was in great form and was starting week in and week out. It is now up to him to show he is mentally strong enough to come back and regain his spot.How’s he been doing at Villa?
I agree with this. Bottom line is I want to see him play in a more central role. And to be quite frank I would start even a half fit Alexis ahead of Lingard any day.no no the last thing we need is for Marcus to move away from the centre and shoehorned on the wing.

That's some serious Lingard hating going on there if you'd prefer a guy who was garbage 90% of the time when he was fully fit, half fitI agree with this.

Unreal how much hate Lingard gets on here.That's some serious Lingard hating going on there if you'd prefer a guy who was garbage 90% of the time when he was fully fit, half fit
He is Wolverhampton or Leicester quality at best. Will go down for me as one of the most useless players in our history to ever get that much play time along with Young, Jones and Fellaini.That's some serious Lingard hating going on there if you'd prefer a guy who was garbage 90% of the time when he was fully fit, half fit
What is wrong with post?He is Wolverhampton or Leicester quality at best. Will go down for me as one of the most useless players in our history to ever get that much play time along with Young, Jones and Fellaini.
was Pedro just as useless at Barcelona?He is Wolverhampton or Leicester quality at best. Will go down for me as one of the most useless players in our history to ever get that much play time along with Young, Jones and Fellaini.
Id say just use Sanchez up front. More mobile like Rashford and if he loses the ball then its more okay in a position like that. Mourinho completely misused Sanchez I think. He was never in dangerous positions.I think that team selection up front for today is pretty tricky. Rashford has run himself ragged in the past 3 games and picked up some sort of knock and apparently faces a fitness test.
If Sanchez can be brought back to anything like his best then getting him integrated into this team as soon as possible would provide a huge boost to us for the rest of the season. On the other hand, if we get 'Jose Sanchez' who gives the ball away every 5 minutes with useless passes then we risk setting the team back.
On balance, I think I would go with Sanchez/Martial/Lingard as Ole says that Sanchez has been knocking them in in training and is looking very good.
Give Rashford a week off and get him totally refreshed for the Tottenham game.
I think that introducing Lukaku into the current team is also risky as our play under Ole is very dependent on fast precise play with players interchanging positions. I am sure that Lukaku is capable of that but he has spent so long standing around like a tree, I think he needs a few sub appearances (and the game against Reading) to get back into it.
Such a pity you are not the Manager. The club doesn't know what it is missing!And to be quite frank I would start even a half fit Alexis ahead of Lingard any day.
I’m not sure that’s how Ole’s mind is working.I have a feeling Fellaini will start this - as a way for Ole to make it up to him that he never got to come on against Bournemouth due to the red card.
I hope not. He should pick his strongest team albeit compensated for fatigue. Fellaini does not meet that. At best a sub.I have a feeling Fellaini will start this - as a way for Ole to make it up to him that he never got to come on against Bournemouth due to the red card.
