[SAF is the GOAT]

Remembered this game against Everton in the FA Cup

 

[Mickson]

Everton at OT is always a tough one irrespective of their form.

Football clichés calling.

 

[Kag]

Dalot, Varane, Martinez and Antony (if fit) will all come back in you’d expect.

 

[FrankDrebin]

Football clichés calling.

Cliché or not they're tough to beat at OT. They always turn up.

 

[Gasolin]

Anyone knows what's our missing game ? where it will be played ? and when its going to be re-scheduled ?

We have Crystal Palace and Leeds. I don’t recall which one was due to the funeral of the queen when all games got cancelled but I think the one that was not due to the funeral was Leeds.

 

[Withnail]

Big shout out to the Everton board for keeping Lampard in charge for this game.

Good stuff. A new manager bounce was the last thing we needed.

This has to be the last we see of Frank in the PL, doesn't it?

 

[Who's Kissing Cameras?]

Gimme Iqbal please ETH.

 

[Who's Kissing Cameras?]

Good stuff. A new manager bounce was the last thing we needed.

This has to be the last we see of Frank in the PL, doesn't it?

He kept them up last season and got a draw at the Emptyhad. He’ll be back.

Another Anthony Taylor disasterclass.

Friday Friday gotta get the win on Friday

Fun fun fun fun fun fun fun you know what it is

 

[Withnail]

He kept them up last season and got a draw at the Emptyhad. He’ll be back.

Anyone giving him a job now needs their head examined.

I think he’s done but they need this ‘dead rubber’ to find someone else and give themselves a week.

 

[Telsim]

Go all out and smash these. Kicking both Everton out of the cup and Lampard out of the job would make for a good evening.

 

[Todd]

Anyone know how this can be watched in the USA? They don't put F.A. Cup matches on the normal places I'm able to watch EPL or CL/UL matches.

 

[Gator Nate]

Anyone know how this can be watched in the USA? They don't put F.A. Cup matches on the normal places I'm able to watch EPL or CL/UL matches.

For FA cup, it's ESPN+... and if you buy cable, like I do from Xfinity, or have a package, like I do, from Verizon mobile, you might have it for "free."

As for CL/UL, it's Paramount+, same deal. I have Xfinity, so I get it for "free."

 

[Wing Attack Plan R]

Go full strength, get a couple goals, then make 5 substitutions. ETH will always play his strongest available side, I don’t know why people keep thinking he won’t.

 

[Gerald G]

De Gea
Dalot--Varane--Martinez--Malacia
Casemiro--Fred
Antony--Bruno--Rashford
Martial

Subs: McTominay > Casemiro; Garnacho > Rashford; Elanga > Martial; Iqbal/Mainoo > Bruno​

Of course this all depends if we are winning comfortably (the last sub would be for like the last 5 mins)

 

[Bulldog United]

this is the one

Hmm, I am an Xfinity customer, I'll have to see if I've got access to ESPN+

Thanks!

[Lights Out]

We have Crystal Palace and Leeds. I don’t recall which one was due to the funeral of the queen when all games got cancelled but I think the one that was not due to the funeral was Leeds.

Palace away was postponed along with all PL fixtures the weekend after she died.

Leeds at home was one of a few postponed the weekend before the funeral because it’s high level police game and they couldn’t spare the resources.

We didn’t have a league game for a month.

Both games are still to be rescheduled

 

[nemanja15]

Bruno will definitely play as he’s suspended for Charlton. You’d expect Dalot, Varane, Martinez and Malacia to be the back four… probably McFred with Garnacho, Elanga and Martial?

 

[RedDevilRoshi]

A few changes but not too many. Play a strong starting XI first and then make subs as the game progresses. We can rotate the whole eleven for the Charlton game on Tuesday.

DDG

Dalot - Varane - Martinez - Shaw

Casemiro - Fred

Garnacho - B.Fernandes - Rashford

Martial​

Subs: Heaton, AWB, Lindelof, Malacia, McTominay, Iqbal, Mainoo, Antony, Elanga

Score Prediction: Manchester United 2-0 Everton

 

[croadyman]

Dalot, Varane, Martinez and Antony (if fit) will all come back in you’d expect.

Wonder if Rapha should be rested until derby

 

[Red the Bear]

Wonder if Rapha should be rested until derby

Be should, no reason to risk him.

 

[SAF is the GOAT]

IMO Dalot needs to play at least 45 minutes in this game just to making him running make him fit bit by bit

 

[Kag]

Wonder if Rapha should be rested until derby

No chance. Ten Hag wants trophies and the FA Cup is important. He’ll go full strength tonight and rest a few against Charlton.

 

[roseguy64]

Go full strength, get a couple goals, then make 5 substitutions. ETH will always play his strongest available side, I don’t know why people keep thinking he won’t.

Because he rotated the last game we played.

 

[sepulturite]

Go full strength, get a couple goals, then make 5 substitutions. ETH will always play his strongest available side, I don’t know why people keep thinking he won’t.

Maybe people think it because he didn't play his strongest side the other day against Bournemouth?

 

[Wing Attack Plan R]

No, he didn’t. The entire first team wasn’t available, so he played as many as were fit, uninjured, and ready, as he normally does, that’s not rotation.

 

[Wing Attack Plan R]

Maybe people think it because he didn't play his strongest side the other day against Bournemouth?

Who out of the strongest XI was available who didn’t start? He played everyone who could start who would be considered starting XI. When you see Fred and McT start while Eriksen and Casemiro are fit, that’s rotating the team. AWB played because Dalot wasn’t ready, same with the center back choices.

 

[EliotTheRed]

To show how far we’ve come under EtH, I’m sure the majority of posters/ fans agree with me in that I can’t wait for the next game to come around now.

Remember (but don’t dwell!) last season? And previous seasons under LvG and JM, you’d dread watching us because the football would be tumescent or we’d simply get a pasting.

The positivity and buzz around the team now is completely night and day, I hope we absolutely batter these tonight, and Charlton next week, ready to go into the derby game.

 

[Wing Attack Plan R]

No, he didn’t. The entire first team wasn’t available, so he played as many as were fit, uninjured, and ready, as he normally does, that’s not rotation.

ETHwants a trophy, he’s playing his strongest available.

He deliberately rested Varane for the Bournemouth game. This was also the correct thing to do, of course; his games need managing and we didn’t need him as badly against that sort of opposition.

 

[SilentWitness]

From Lampards conference we are probably going to play how we did against City. Get to half time at 0-0 and we can maybe nick a 1-0 or a draw.

 

[Wing Attack Plan R]

Varane was injured, or recovering from a muscle strain. He wasn’t 100%.

 

[Siorac]

In an ideal world, Rashford, Bruno, Eriksen, Casemiro and Varane wouldn't even be on the bench for the two cup games, with City and Arsenal coming up. I know that won't happen but I wish we fully rotated for these. I'm always scared of the domestic cups potentially derailing our season.

 

[Kag]

Varane was injured, or recovering from a muscle strain. He wasn’t 100%.

He was fit. Rested.

I genuinely don’t understand this logic. We haven’t won a trophy in years and the FA Cup is a great opportunity for Ten Hag to make his mark on the club with some silverware. He isn’t going to rest players against Premier League opposition.
