    Have we actually seen any official confirmation that Tuanzebe is injured? Or is it just rumours? Well, prabably is true though. feck.

    Based on the rested players I think we can predict quite easily who will start tonight. Romero is obviously in goal. Rightback there are some options, but I do think Darmian will play. Lindelöf and Smalling seem obvious picks in central defense. Leftback is tricky, but I think Blind will probably start. Shaw is an option now though so hard to predict. Herrera will certainly start. Carrick likely as well. Up front I think Rashford, Martial and Lingard should be obvious starters. Fellaini or Mata will likely be the last starter. Would prefer Mata and a more attacking team. Mkhitaryan and Lukaku will likely be on the bench. There is also the option that we play 3-5-2 with Blind in as a 3 central defender. Martial and Rashford as strikers with Lingard maybe even as a wingback. I see no need for it though, but it could be something we try.

    Hope Shaw gets a start today. Probably the best match for him to start off with. A good 60 mins or so should do him a world of good.

    Seems to be an issue with his back. He's missed the last two U23 games.

    Herrera - Carrick

    Lingard - Mata - Martial

    Rashford



    I would love to see Gomes or a youngster in the lineup, but that'll do.

    Hope not, he's played 90 minutes in every competitive game so far this season, including the games for Belgium. I don't see us getting another chance to give him a day off any time soon.

    Very much doubt Shaw or McTominay will have a chance to start, unfortunately.
    Why not? I think one (Luke) if not both, have a good chance of starting. McTominay hasnt showed much with the 23's so far this season, but he's got the size Jose likes, so I expect him to be at least on the bench.

    Cudos to anyone who gets 11/11 tonight. My struggle is whether it will be Shaw or Blind, Mata or Fellaini.
    I've gone Luke and Juan; so I'd go the other way if I were you fella, as I'm struggling to pick my nose at the minute. I've given up on correct scores... absolutely shocking so far.

    Translates as... "please don't sing about Lukaku's penis, you feckers."
    Hopefully there won't be any cock ups tonight. The club will ban long and short members if they violate the rules. This club was not erected to be a voice for racism and if anyone does violate the rules I hope a pen  is used to write a letter telling them they are no long welcome at the club. There's always some knobs who ruin it for everyone and we can't have people being racist all willy nilly.

    Didn't realize they are in the Championship. They sound like a League 2 team.

    Thanks for getting all of those out of the way.

    Jose said it in his presser after the Everton match. Look up the embargo'd section on Youtube.

    Edit: I don't know if I can post it here.
