is Eric hurt today? Bailly clearly the much better fit next to Maguire. Why is OGS not making that change?!

Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

Very true and that's where the frustrations really come from is his decision making/temperament. Just the understanding that he cannot just force everything with or without the ball and can impact the match in other ways for the benefit of the team aside from a clear goal or assist. Those are the consistent differences between very good players to top players who win. Because he's been a light of positive from an individual standpoint the past 5 years or so, everyone has just wanted him to become this bonafide superstar immediately and not ride out the ups and downs of young stardom.
He's shown a lot of improvement this year and now that he's surrounded with another really good player in Bruno, coupled with his partnership with Martial, Pogba coming back into the team, the excitement is there.
There are signs, I would say from the anfield game onwards, that he's overcome some kind of mental barrier. He's really starting to show maturity and ownership of his position at last.
And Tottenham players aren't better than City's when it comes into unlocking defences as well. The game vs City didn't look like a match against Pep's team, it was really good to see them really struggling.
Agreed on the midfield part. Fred especially. He might look a bit redundant if We only use assist and goal as metrics. Because He was not scoring goals and not putting incredible passes ala Pogba but his work rate cannot be underestimated. He works his socks off from the first minute till stoppage time. He plays for the team. This is often overlooked.
Ideally, Bruno and Pogba should only start together against teams where We could be sure We'd dominate possession. Against big teams it looks like a gamble because They have never played together as good as it might look on paper. Unless if We are really desperate for a goal then by all means, unleash the beast. Your approach looks good.I expect Jose to allow United to have a lot of possession. Pogba and Greenwood are great in possession so should start, imo.I’ve been looking forward to this game since full time in our last one, I love what our team is becoming... but now? I just want 3 points & no injuries.
Not sure. We're 7th and 8th in the Premier League for average possession - both sides are better on the counterattack.
Can you really not figure it out?God knows what system Ole will go with. So many rumours. Hopefully Ole will go with the right one.
What I will say is, we don't have to go gung-ho. We need to work our way into the game and find a rhythm. Regardless of the system and personnel we go with, we'll have decent options off the bench, and it's pivotal we use them wisely. This will be far from the easy game some are predicting.In theory the toughest game we've got left in the league, won't be a walk over that's for sure.
Nope, only Phil and Axel were reported injured a couple days ago.
Lindelöf is better.
True, but Spurs are nowhere near the class of those clubs.
I'm in the camp of dictating the tempo, rather than responding the tempo taken to us. Spurs demand respect, but we can overpower them should we wish to do so.
Here we go, the experts have arrived. We've had boring Brexit,Covid19 but....
How I've missed the matchday thread
are you saying that he gained some muscles, pace and some spine during the C-Break?Is this on free tv anywhere?
Don’t think so it’s on Sky main event, although Norwich v Southampton is free on Sky one.. right now.
Unfortunately not.
There may be some other means to watch the game, but I can't think what that could be.
If this holds true then I kick of Covid19: The $eason of Greed; with a perfect 11.
The problem is that Bailly is far too inconsistent. He can have great games, but then he'll turn around and have an absolute shocking one the very next match. Or even within the same match he'll have both great and terrible moments.
Lindelof isn't great, but he's the most consistent of all our remaining options. And consistency is one of the most important attributes for a central defender.Its really back, isn't it. Just feels so weird, actually waiting for the team news to arrive.
his superior combination of size&athleticism can offset his inconsistencies as he can make up for some of his mistakes with them. While Lindelof is just too slow and weak to compensate for his inconsistencies.
I would pick Eric over Victor every day of the weekFinally we are playing again
Yeah, we get that. Fortunately, though, you’re not the manager.I totally forgot the line up game existed
No more so than Bailly has suddenly developed a brain.
Demonstrated succinctly by Luiz yesterday.
Sky pick i think?I am worried that Mourinho would do a Mourinho to us.... park the bus and a 1-0 for Spurs
Similar to what we did to them at home multiple times under Jose...Fecking hell, line ups not even official and people are already moaning about Ole's decision make. One part of football I ain't missed.
so now Bailly is like Luiz?? if so, please show anything from Eric that resembles to any of Luiz's "gaffes"
Least I'm consistentThat's the best Friday night in a looong time, beers are ice cold, United is playing full strength, what a time to be aliveI always feel like the match starts from the moment the lineups are released. 10 minutes to go till then. Can't wait.Does Pogba start
Does Pogba start
Does Pogba start
Does Pogba start
Only when Phil Jones is in the starting lineup. Good change he'll have to be subbed before kickoff.Can't wait for kickoff
He's no more like Luiz than Lindelof is like a great supine protoplasmic invertebrate jelly. Both have weaknesses, but let's not overstate it.Feels like it is the start of a new season.... wish it was the start of a new season...lets go!!!- Status
