Great to see Shaw back and all the best to Mainoo.

 

[JB08]

For some reason I had a feeling our XI was weakened more than it is due to injuries.

Still not great but better than I thought it would be. Shaw back is huge but not sure I’d have rushed him in with a start - ten Hag knows better than me his fitness though.

 

[Pirlo'sBeard]

Martial FC. Let's go!

 

[DWelbz19]

big team news. Kobbie’s potential profile in midfield, Shaw back for buildup and ball progression, Martial (whilst no legs) has a first touch and a semi accurate short pass…

Could we actually play some half decent football today? *hides after we scrape a 1-1 Lindelof goal*

 

[Leftback99]

Interested to see Martial. We generally play better football with him in the side.

 

[BootsyCollins]

The pressure on Mainoo
He is a kid who played some good matches in pre-season.
Hopefully he can cope and put in a good shift.

 

[Jev]

Love that lineup.

 

[crossy1686]

Bookies pretty much have us dead level, which is slightly depressing.

You realise that the bookies odds are dependant on where people place their money? As in if lots of people put money on an Everton win, the bookies will shorten their odds in retaliation?

 

[Sunny Jim]

great line-up. I really like the fact Mainoo starts.

 

[Samid]

 

[suheilsworld]

Love that line up. Feeling slightly more confident than before

 

[Tom Van Persie]

Great to see Shaw back and Mainoo starting.

 

[DickDastardly]

Martial?

Desperate times

 

[IrishRedDevil]

From 0 full backs to 4 fullbacks.

 

[Darkhorsez]

Great having Shaw back! VDB on the bench - I forgot he is still with us!

 

[Bobade]

Yeah, that's still slightly depressing though isn't it?

 

[mu4c_20le]

We're going to be doing them a charity aren't we

 

[PoTMS]

Good lineup but not much on the bench. We really can't afford to go behind.

 

[DJ_21]

Time for Mainoo to shine baby!!! No idea how Dalot starts ahead of AWB though.

 

[RedChisel]

I'm feeling quite confident about this which probably means we are losing.

 

[NewGlory]

Mainoo and Shaw are starting!

Exciting!

 

[IrishRedDevil]

Expected AWB.

 

[laughtersassassin]

The bench is grim. Hopefully we don't need it.

Not sure why AWB isn't starting tbh

 

[groovyalbert]

Martial off by half time

 

[bosnian_red]

Nice lineup that. Well balanced. Martial... Hopefully he can run today. No Hojlund is a concern but good lineup otherwise.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Blimey Joe Hugill.

 

[hobbers]

Poor Mainoo. First start and he has to play ahead of the proven nightmare low-block CB pairing, and alongside the famous missing man in midfield.

 

[Judas]

Mainoo starting has given me a reason to be excited, be very interesting to see how he does.

 

[Andre Kagawa]

Shaw

 

[DON’T PANIC ™]

Why Dalot over AWB?

I put our small uplift in form recently on the return of AWB.

 

[Rojofiam]

I really like that lineup.

 

[dwd]

No goals in that team

 

[3KDré]

Also a bit concerning that Ten Hag wants us to permanently sign Amrabat but he's not good enough to start ahead of a kid.

 

[3KDré]

The bench is grim. Hopefully we don't need it.

Not sure why AWB isn't starting tbh

Think he just came back from injury, no?

 

[AngliaRed]

Majority of these players starting today has thrown most of our previous managers under the bus.

Just needed Lingard in the team and it would be a full spineless united.

 

[BeforeKeanetherewasRobson]

Thought Shaw would be back and had seen a couple of rumours about that midfield.

Wonder how the midfield will play? and where?

 

[Unam333]

Is Varane injured or something?

 

[Berbasbullet]

Hojlund too soon.

Amrabat must be awful in training.

 

[Mickeza]

Our attacking options are just crazy for the money we’ve spent and the club stature that we are. Where has Antony gone now?
