Looks like a diamond. Seems like he’s tried coming up with a plan to pack the midfield.

 

[mu4c_20le]

To be fair, you somehow managed a draw against Liverpool where most people expected something similar. Who knows.

EtH seemingly parking the bus with that setup and try to hit them on the counter.

We faced 34 shots that day.

It was like Normandy.

 

[lex talionis]

Onana finally finding outstanding form is cause for hope.

 

[christinaa]

its called injuries. - Hojlund ,Martial, Martinez , Maguire, AWB Shaw, Malacia, Mount all crocked.

On the bench Anthony £90 mil Amad £37mil Erikson. Amrabat.

I thought that only Livarpool had injuries?!

 

[Winrar]

Haven’t felt so despondent before a match, mostly due to circumstances.

If we happen to get something out of this game? Massively helps Liverpool.

 

[ForeverRed1]

Pep literally laughing at us when asked if ETH was trying something different

 

[christinaa]

Pep literally laughing at us when asked if ETH was trying something different

Yes, because he knows that Ten Hag can't do much with the present team he has

 

[DJ_21]

Guess the scousers will be supporting us for a day. They’ll be disappointed

 

[Stookie]

Onana finally finding outstanding form is cause for hope.

You’ve probably jinxed that now mate. Watch him throw the ball in his own net or something

 

[edgecutter]

What a shocking midfield. You would honestly think we haven't spent anywhere near 400 million over the past 2 years.

 

[DJ_21]

So who would you play there with all the injuries?

We shouldn’t have let Reguilon go knowing we have Malacia out all season and Shaw who’s injury prone. What sense does that make?

 

[eire-red]

Looks like a diamond. Seems like he’s tried coming up with a plan to pack the midfield.

I hope its just a 433 with the false 9 instead. Our full backs will get destroyed with a diamond and our midfield doesn't have the legs to continuously shuffle from left to right to defend the flanks in an organised manner.

 

[United Hobbit]

TBF bar Alvarez, city's bench isn't insane

The starting line up though

They have Haaland up front... We have McT...

 

[DJ_21]

The difference between there’s and ours is embarrassing. Hopefully this changes in the summer. We should start buying quality but sensibly.

Should probably pack the goal line.

Could be. Who would you have as the false 9? Mctominay? Bruno? Our best hope is to use the flanks when there FBs push high up.

 

[Laurencio]

Operation knock em off their perch begins today .... hopefully?

 

[spwd]

Nice, got all 14 correct.

 

[Chumpsbechumps]

Kind of reminds me of Jose’s Chelsea against Moyes United at Old Trafford. He played 4-5-0 with that blond lad as kind of a forward.

 

[Catt]

Should probably pack the goal line.

11 players on the goal line might work. Won't score at the other end but hey.

 

[DJ_21]

Should probably pack the goal line.

With that defence, we could try. Wouldn’t work

 

[Licha-Vidic]

I think we will get something.. We will look like we're going to crumble as the game starts but we will come good.

 

[Giggsy13]

It’s amazing how many people gloss over the fact that players get injured and thus our bench is impacted.

 

[DJ_21]

Have 10 on the goal line and keep Rashford up top. Just keep whacking it up to him to break.

 

[LInkash]

McT has more Euro qualifier goals than Haaland

 

[Camy89]

This is going to be painful.

 

[DJ_21]

I think we will get something.. We will look like we're going to crumble as the game starts but we will come good.

Like your optimism. We will concede early and then the goals will start flying in. We crumble after conceding. Could be 3/4 down first half

 

[erikcred]

Have 10 on the goal line and keep Rashford up top. Just keep whacking it up to him to break.

If we've 10 on the line, Onana would probably be our best bet to have up top.

 

[Ish]

That kind of bench is usually what we will see for the league cup. Never expect that for a Derby against city after spending tons of money for past years.

Tbf to us, we have limited choice because of injuries. Off the top of my head: shaw, Martinez, mount, maguire, Hojlund, Malacia, AWB…(do I even mention martial these days)…and our bench looks much better.

 

[Eyepopper]

I've never been so sure that we're gonna be absolutely fecking hockied

 

[DJ_21]

All them empty seats with 6 minutes till kick of

 

[Zoo]

Just show some personality out there lads

 

[DJ_21]

11 pts behind 4th. We ain’t getting that

 

[Red00012]

We have 8 out injured.

Yep and listening to some United podcasts you’d swear our injury issues have been the same as everybody. ETH doesn’t get afforded the same sycophantic cock sucking affection that the holy trinity top 3 managers are afforded.

Agree

 

[DJ_21]

The only hope I have is that Chelsea got a point here… if they can anyone can

 

[Buster15]

Injuries are a constant in football.
And I couldn't care less about Liverpool or anyone else.
I am only interested in Manchester United getting a result today.

 

[Marcelinho87]

Can’t wait to start seeing the prints of SJR on this club, it’s depressing where we are right now.

 

[Chumpsbechumps]

All them empty seats with 6 minutes till kick of

atmosphere there is poor. Was at a game they cruised earlier in season (with my son’s team) and I don’t think the fans drive their team on.
