Matic and Fellaini would have been ideal for this. Typical our fecking luck.
Not heard anything yet. I saw a bit of yesterdays training in some videos and couldn't spot him, but that doesn't mean he wasn't there. Fellaini was training with the side, however. So, three in midfield is still possible without him if José wants to go with that (it will still be three at the back as well IMO).Some people ruling out Matic - has there been any news on his injury?
Jones is an idiot for agreeing to take multiple injections to play in a friendly carrying injuries.I don't suppose there is the slightest hope of Phil Jones being fit which is a real shame as personally I reckon our defence is a shadow of its former self without him.
Jose said he'll travel, not sure if he'll play.Some people ruling out Matic - has there been any news on his injury?
Is it a lack of loyalty, or just a different level of maturity?Cause there aint no loyalty in sports, both players and fans, in the States.
Same/similar team to the one that started against Watford IMO. Matic has traveled so hopefully he can play. Also hope old men Young and Valencia have the energy.Not heard anything yet.

Exactly what I've gone for, but replacing Herrera with Matic if fit. Martial HAS to start ahead of Rashford all day long if one of them are to be selected. Not too worried about the Gooners. They always slip up after a run of a few games. Though they have won the last 12 at the Emirates to be fair.--------------de Gea

Nothing wrong with that team at all. Despite Ander's poor form he's still a big game player for me.--------------de Gea

I didn't predict him to play this game at all. He's not ready yet for such kind of intensity.Just hope Ibrahimović's out of the squad doesn't mean he had a problem with the same knee. Maybe he's to join the team in London.
You didn't predict him to come as a substitute? Considering he's been 4 times in a row subbed in, that's bold.I didn't predict him to play this game at all. He's not ready yet for such kind of intensity.
We might need one of his features last season, those killer assist-passes through the middle for the forward's runs.Herrera can do a job if he's restricted to defensive jobs only, tackles and interception, but Jose should tell him to stop rushing as an idiot.
No. I predicted a midfielder, either Herrera or Matic, the one who won't start, Rashford and one of Darmian or Blind to park the bus by the end of the game.You didn't predict him to come as a substitute? Considering he's been 4 times in a row subbed in, that's bold.
It makes sense… if we are holding a result. If we're chasing…No. I predicted a midfielder, either Herrera or Matic, the one who won't start, Rashford and one of Darmian or Blind to park the bus by the end of the game.
I hope not, but if we're chasing the result he may throw Mikhi or Mata in the game.It makes sense… if we are holding a result. If we're chasing…
It's a good call. But notice Mkhitaryan isn't with the squad. And I very much doubt Mata would get ahead of Ibrahimović if we are chasing.I hope not, but if we're chasing the result he may throw Mikhi or Mata in the game.
But I'm optimistic by nature so predicted us to win 1-0 and we'll put Blind or Darmian at the end to save the result.
Zlatan clearly lacks match fitness and sharpness IMO. He's playing currently with his class qualities only. This game is very tense for him and we need to ease him back in the team after such a long term injury. He'll play against CSKA for sure.It's a good call. But notice Mkhitaryan isn't with the squad. And I very much doubt Mata would get ahead of Ibrahimović if we are chasing.
He'll go for 0-0 as usualWill we be bold and take the game to Arsenal tomorrow, or will we see the same mindset we witnessed at Anfield? I'd love to see us really have a go in one of these away games against the top sides. Arsenal aren't brilliant; we could really get at them.

I doubt we're going to challenge them for possession, like we tried against Chelsea in the beginning of that game. Also not as cautious as against Liverpool, so probably something more like Watford, letting them play and then profiting from the space they offer us behind.Will we be bold and take the game to Arsenal tomorrow, or will we see the same mindset we witnessed at Anfield?

Yeah mate it's very different to in the States. Mixing isn't common. Best to keep quiet.Are you serious? You'll get thrown out of a game for wearing a shirt that has the other team on it?
That's utterly ridiculous. Is that a common thing in England?
At US sporting events you see shirts/jerseys of both teams scattered everywhere throughout the stadium.
Mate, Europe is nothing like the U.S. you come to Stockholm and wear the wrong shirt in the away/home section you’ll most likely end up in hospital. Same goes for pretty much every country.Are you serious? You'll get thrown out of a game for wearing a shirt that has the other team on it?

Neville is predicting a proper 3-5-2 with a Herrera–Matić–Pogba midfield (actually he predicted Matić–Herrera–Pogba, but that's nonsense).
