Glad the CL joint top goalscorer is back. 1 more to take number 1 on his own.

 

[gaffs]

i am also on board with not playing mainoo on this surface. Need to get it done without him for sure and not risk him getting injured yet again so soon. Against newcastle he will be crucial for us

Yet its ok to play Hojlund, who is just back?

 

[Nep77]

Finally got rid of Rashford from XI via suspension and than we have to bear tamed weak 15 year old like short and cross from Antony Ten Hag.

 

[HookedOnAPhelan]

Why do people want it called off? Wouldn't we have to play tomorrow instead? Which would feck us completely for the Newcastle game.



Just throw some paper towels on the pitch and get it over with.

 

[Based Adnan]

dead line up, call if off

 

[Escobar]

Play, be big boys and win that game. Easy

 

[Heinzesight]

They’ll play for 20 minutes, realise it’s impossible to pass the ball, then call it off.

 

[DJ_21]

Excuses in early for if we don’t win. The pitch will be the cause.

 

[Aint gota Kalou]

I reckon he starts Martial against Newcastle. Hojlund has been on fire in the CL

 

[Fortitude]

Why leave Mainoo out? ffs.

First out the team for me in those conditions. Primed for injury with the way he plays and the likelihood of the pitch being a massive hindrance.

 

[Fr. Todd Unctious]

Hojlund probably getting the nod also because I doubt Tony has 2 games in 72 hours in him

 

[van Nistelrooy]

Weather forecast is thundery showers for the next few hours. Can't see this going well.

 

[arnoldS]

Good Mainoo is rested. Nothing good can come out with this conditions and atmosphere. Let him play in the league and don't burn him out.

 

[pascell]

They’ll play for 20 minutes, realise it’s impossible to pass the ball, then call it off.

Just like all our games post League Cup final, apart from we couldn't get it called off.

 

[Pughnichi]

Talksport radio

‘Rashford will be a miss’

 

[HookedOnAPhelan]

Just like all our games post League Cup final, apart from we couldn't get it called off.

 

[cyberman]

Why leave Mainoo out? ffs.

It’s not a possession based game tonight, the rain makes that impossible. More direct and more fighting for the ball

 

[Fingeredmouse]

If this does get postponed until tomorrow, I wonder if there is a precedent for a league game being moved as a consequence of a similar event. Newcastle on Saturday after playing on a Thursday would be brutal.

 

[Heinzesight]

[Ayoba]

wheres varane?? wheres mainoo??

 

[Fortitude]

Hope Shaw gets through this unscathed. Really surprised he's being risked.

 

[BeforeKeanetherewasRobson]

Yet its ok to play Hojlund, who is just back?

Think he was probably “ok” for Everton but wanted to keep him for this which is 100% a must win.

Also a shorter injury than Mainoo, who I think might play v Newcastle at weekend

 

[Keanes Magic Hat]

Probable the right call with Mainoo on this pitch, save him for the weekend, this team is good enough to get the job done.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Has feeling he would make changes, managed 10/11

 

[mitchmouse]

no rashford in the squad?

 

[Strelok]

Not a bad lineup. A bit disapointed that Mainoo doesn't start. Think Antony will have a good game today. As long as he can keep it simple like last match and stop trying his Robben wannabe crap.

 

[DJ_21]

wheres varane?? wheres mainoo??

Varanes not played for weeks, don’t think manager likes him and Mainoo being rested for weekend.

 

[Fully Fledged]

no rashford in the squad?

Suspended after red card in last match.

 

[Jericholyte2]

no rashford in the squad?

Sent off in the last game.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

no rashford in the squad?

He is suspended

 

[MDFC Manager]

wheres varane?? wheres mainoo??

Bench

 

[Sassy Colin]

Amrabat lives!

 

[Adisa]

We either qualify or finish fourth as far as I am concerned.

 

[VP89]

Why leave Mainoo out? ffs.

Yeah lets throw an 18 year old barely back from long term injury on to that pitch

 

[DJ_21]

no rashford in the squad?

Got a red last game.

 

[DJ_21]

We either qualify or finish fourth as far as I am concerned.

Players won’t think like that. We may win tonight and need gala and Copenhagen to draw in the last match to go through.

 

[Sunny Jim]

If this does get postponed until tomorrow, I wonder if there is a precedent for a league game being moved as a consequence of a similar event. Newcastle on Saturday after playing on a Thursday would be brutal.

dont be silly. EPL does not give a single feck about a competitor’s games

 

[Escobar]

We should get awarded a win as they did not bother to build a roof.

 

[always_hoping]

Six changes from the home game against Galatasaray.

Out - Dalot,Varane,Mejbri,Casemiro,Mount,Rashford

In - Wan Bissaka,Maguire,Shaw,McTominay,Garnacho,Antony

Three changes for them

Out - S Sanchez,M Akturkoglu,Tele (Sanchez not the bench tonight injured?)

In - D Mertens,T Ndombele,H Zlyech

 

[Ludens the Red]

Blimey. Pitch does not look good.
