A younger looking Veron.If you squint it's like watching Veron

Cheers.Well, Maguire can see it quite frequently, but it's on Varane's arm. Cheeky from Erik.
Varane.Who wears the captain armband this game? Maguire?
Not sure I agree about Rashford tbh. Garnacho has scored tonight and is working his nuts off. Rashford should not just waltz back into the team.and all three would be the right call
That may be, but we've made some shite teams look pretty good a few times in recent years. The big difference for me is having Mount in for Eriksen/McTominay. There was one sequence where they gave the ball away in the final 3rd and Mount and Hannibal were sprinting back like their lives depended on it.I wouldn't be getting carried away that Amrabat is going to get the freedom of Old Trafford in every game.
A lof of this is due to Palace. It's a poor disinterested side they've put out.
It's a different ball game in the league when teams play their strongest sides and they're motivated. You can only beat what is in front of you, we deserve credit so far but there is rightfully an asterisk attached to everything that happens against a team with no interest in putting any pressure on or off the ball in the league cup. There are definitely two ingredients, Palace being shite and us exploiting it.
I have been backing signing him. Fairly confident he’ll be very good for us. The basics, workrate, the quality is all there.Best I’ve seen of Mount so far.
Maguire not making a mistake bumps him up to a 6 because for him that is pretty good. Maguire not making a mistake and also doing something well adds another point?What? Maguire is a 7 because of one basic intercept, but Amrabat, who is out of natural position and is an absolute metronomic titan gets a 7 too?
Resting for the weekend i hope.Lindelof coming on? Don't tell me Varane is injured again
On for mount. Hopefully just a precautionLindelof coming on? Don't tell me Varane is injured again
Yeah we don't need Amrabat to create, we need him to form the platform TO create. It's been our issue for years in my opinion. We've never had a consistent platform to build into the final 3rd, so if our main creators/attacking threats are off their game we look hapless as they don't get as many opportunities to get it right.Yeah. Amrabat with his energy off the ball and ability to show for the ball constantly (most touches today and most passes), and know how and where to pass it just for us to keep possession is huge. Will be a life saver for casemiro and get his level back up to world class without a doubt. Especially as Eriksen is the other extreme end of lack of work rate. Also, some might not like it but amrabat just won't be someone who creates or scores. It's not his role, we have enough other guys who will force shots or creative passes. He's a nice contrast where he'll just keep the ball for us and let us build. Much needed.
Why risk him, need him when its real.Lindelof coming on? Don't tell me Varane is injured again
Maybe. But it also helps to have an actual midfield and also a LW who helps defend and generally tries to play with his teammates.We do. We retain the ball a lot better with Martial in there.

That's still slightly unbalanced. What would the system and style of play realistically be with that personnel?Casemiro, Amrabat and Mount in midfield going forward. Bruno on the right. There should be no doubt about this. Pellistri should be subbed on for either Mount and Bruno.
forgot. Just put him somewhere on the right wing either inverting next to casemiro/the DM as you say, or overlapping pellistri, basically just doing a lot on the right.Is Dalot on the bench when we have the ball? (Also Amrabat and Casemiro have swapped a decent amount too)

Mount off not VaraneMount off for Lindelof
Nevermind its Mount..Resting for the weekend i hope.
In truth Eriksen would have looked good in this game as well. Nothing Palace have done would have caused him to need to break sweat.That may be, but we've made some shite teams look pretty good a few times in recent years.
