Super lineup. No complaints there, it's down to the lads now.

 

[Fraud]

The best XI according this forum.

 

[IrishRedDevil]

Because:

Because no.

 

[Garethw]

Great lineup. Just wish Martial or Lingard were in for the useless Mata.

Edit: Posted this before seeing the official ineup. I’d have liked to have seen Mata benched though.

 

[Nickosaur]

Happy with that. Hoping Mata can have a good game.

 

[RonaldoVII]

Baffling how Mata keeps his place for a tough away game. Hopefully Martial takes his chance with a good performance.

Not sure what the alternative is given fitness?

 

[DocRockter]

No Darmian(Mike the only defender) on the bench.. Italy calling?

 

[Andersons Dietician]

I wonder if that is going to be 433 Mata out on the right or mata behind a front 2.
Bar Mata for Sanchez that to me is probably our best team.

 

[Irrational.]

Could this be a 4-4-2 diamond, with Martial and Lukaku up front? I hope it is.

 

[el3mel]

No Darmian(Mike the only defender) on the bench.. Italy calling?

Italian transfer window has been shut down.

 

[Kostov]

Good team, i’m just worried with Mata playing away games.

 

[Rozay]

My second 10/11 in a row ffs. Annoyed that I did the hard bits like predicting Young at RB and Martial but the whole Sanchez thing fecked me. Without any info from the club, I still had him in.

 

[Jacko21]

Not until January.

 

[VeevaVee]

Lovely

 

[Marcelinho87]

Hoping Young puts in a blinder at RB as I feel going forward he offers more than Valencia.

Would like to see Young/Shaw as our full time full backs.

 

[Damien]

The best XI according this forum.

Doubt anyone would have Mata in their best XI.

 

[Ban]

All the talk of a fresh summer etc, injured after one game.

What does summer has to do with an injury?

 

[Garethw]

Rashford.

 

[Nick7]

Good team.

 

[LoSpritz]

We cannot fail to score against a defence consisting of players named Duffy, Dunk and Bong

 

[Devil may care]

Surprised Martial is starting, very glad I was wrong about Andreas though and I think it's the right call to play Young over Darmian, wish I hadn't changed it late on.

 

[Jacko21]

Time to see where Martial's head is at.

 

[Random Task]

Martial hasn't had enough game time. With him going home for his baby, his pre-season was reset. Rashford will be fitter.

Exactly this.

Let's hope Rashford can step up this afternoon.

 

[Leftback99]

Rashford who had to play on the right because Mata couldn't defend last week. Should be better with Young instead of Darmian though.

 

[Ban]

Alexis cost me of course but I put Darmian at RB too.

 

[Ramshock]

Great lineup. Just wish Martial or Lingard were in for the useless Mata.

Edit: Posted this before seeing the official ineup. I’d have liked to have seen Mata benched though.

Imagine calling Juan Mata useless and not getting deserved abuse for it.

 

[Yagami]

The best XI according this forum.

I don't know what my best 11 would be but I know I'd have Matic and Alexis in there.

We cannot fail to score against a defence consisting of players named Duffy, Dunk and Bong

I do like Dunk, though.

 

[el3mel]

10/11 missed Martial for Rashford.

@Damien you're probably in the same boat as mine huh ?

 

[Member 109952]

Glad Shaw's playing. I think I'll like Young playing on the right, he's got a good cross on him and can actually go down to the byline now if he wants rather than having to cut back as he does on the left.

 

[Fraud]

Rashford's performance was so shockingly bad in the previous match that even Martial is above him in the rotation.

 

[YzWayne]

I like when this forum disapprove of a certain player starting(mata this time around). He will go on and and prove you guys wrong, again.

 

[Vidyoyo]

Doubt anyone would have Mata in their best XI.

Would obviously shift Sanchez right if it wasn't likely to cause Mourinho anaphylactic shock but it could be argued Mata is our best starting RW. Lingard better through the middle. Rashford better off the bench.

 

[MuFc_1992]

Martial hasn't had enough game time. With him going home for his baby, his pre-season was reset. Rashford will be fitter.

I see that towing the company line has backfired on you. Martial starting has completely all the despair I was feeling watching city play.

 

[RonaldoVII]

Rashford.

Rashford who had to play on the right because Mata couldn't defend last week. Should be better with Young instead of Darmian though.

Rashford was fairly awful against Leicester. Mata set up the winner.

 

[Jacob]

Martial from start. Wow. Thanks to Sanchez I guess, Rashy was always going to be benched after last game.

Yep.

 

[Member 109952]

I don't like Mata at all but Rashford is not a RW. Just a shame we don't really have any other options there other than Lingard who isn't a RW either really.

 

[Cloud7]

Would have liked Lingard or Rashy ahead of Mata on the right, but other than that, happy with this lineup

 

[Vidyoyo]

Happened last match too. Had about three people laugh at me for putting him in my fantasy team (he got an assist).

 

[AndyJ1985]

The right side of our team desperately needs improving. But other than that we're looking decent
