[SilentWitness]

Probably our strongest lineup at the moment, Godfrey has been doing alright at RB and Beto outperforming a dismal DCL recently.

Feeling really pessimistic as an Everton fan recently though as we haven't had a win in a long time.

 

[red_de_pologne]

That’s Bruno on the right .. expecting a crap performance from him

 

[Utd heap]

The season is effectively over. Liverpool will put the final nail in the coffin in 8 days. Team is dire and headed nowhere fast. Literally no reason to keep watching. If we beat Liverpool twice and beat Chelsea and Newcastle, maybe fans will be interested again but if you don't give people a reason to support, they get weary. Fans are human beings and not robots.

Give us a reason to support

It's just your football team mate. Or only when we win?

 

[Red Rash]

That's a super weak bench. Really wish we would give Diallo a shot. Not super optimistic about this game, think it could be a dull one

One thing our fans has always been known for though is standing by the team and manager. We’ve been through so much over the last years and we’ve still stood by the team… unlike our Manchester rivals who can’t even get fans or make noise at games even when there one of the best teams in the world.

 

[Ole'sgunnarwin]

Who can we realistically play there?

Maybe not a slow player who wasn't even good enough in his position 4 years ago. Youth player or a player that can move.

 

[#07]

Who can we realistically play there?

I'd be open to playing Dalot at left back and letting Kambwala have a run out at right back, just because he offers more physicality. Also, is Lindelof at full back going to be that much better than Harry Amass? I'd be open to finding out.

 

[Lay]

Everton are in woeful form so this should be straightforward.

 

[prateik]

Hope its McT top and Rashford left and not Rashford top, Bruno right and McT in the Bruno position.

 

[Samid]

Crazy how a Hojlund injury killed the season. Misses a third PL game in a row. I think we’d have beaten Fulham, and maybe something vs City. If we drop points today it was such a devastating injury. Considering it’s meant to have been a minor muscle strain too. Shows how bad our depth is.

Losing to all sorts of cannon fodders in the first half of the season killed our season, not one specific injury to a player in February during a purple patch.

 

[red_de_pologne]

ETH seems to have given up on Antony altogether

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Hope its McT top and Rashford left and not Rashford top, Bruno right and McT in the Bruno position.

Should be the same vs City.

 

[2 man midfield]

Maybe it’s a good thing we aren’t in Europe anymore. Can you imagine having to somehow find an 11 for midweek games too?

 

[Dannn411]

Give us a reason to support

It's just your football team mate. Or only when we win?

Yes. Give people a reason to cheer. Is that an alien concept to you?

 

[AndySmith1990]

Ten Hag always starts his strongest team anyway, which probably contributes to the injuries

 

[mikeyt]

Same old crap forthcoming, refusing to try something different despite two horrific performances sums ETH up

 

[Ekeke]

Gonna expect a draw with that lineup

 

[2 man midfield]

Look at that bench!

 

[Gandalf Greyhame]

Onana
Dalot Varane Evans Lindelof
Casemiro Mainoo
Bruno McTominay Garnacho
Rashford

Is probably what I’d go with.

Good call. It's telling that neither the fans nor the manager think twice about leaving Antony out.

We've pissed away so much money on terrible signings.

 

[UnitedSofa]

So many youth players on bench

 

[90 + 5min]

Get 3 points and somehow build on it. Haven't we one match a week max for the rest of the season?

Pretty much. We need to make best from this situation. We need to show some passion and some desire. There is nothing to lose but lot to gain by giving it all. If they can't perform once a week then there is no point of being at our club.

 

[Jaap]

Everton will deal with our front three quite easily & conjure up a few decent counter attacks. Reckon we will see them lead, but we will equalise. Fulham-esque game incoming.

 

[padzilla]

How the hell do we not have a left-back playing for the reserves or youth team? It seems shocking that two injuries can leave us without an actual left-back to play a game of football with.
Surely the point of having reserve and youth team players is to maybe one day play them in the first team, if not why are they still here?

 

[Oranges038]

BBC has McT right wing.

Antony may just retire.

 

[izec]

Pissing money down the drain with our transfers and injuries galore. Hope we have an investigation going on internally, this is not acceptable. That bench today with all the resources is criminal.

Three. If AWB could play RB, Dalot would have been on the left.

Also,
- we sold Telles,
- loaned out Brandon Williams and Alvaro Fernandez, and
- terminated Reguilon's loan.

That's the spirit.

Other than Williams and Fernández who are on loan, we have Sam Murray (who is on loan to Rochdale but has a clause saying he still play U-21 games) and a teenage Harry Amass. I know what you’re saying, it’s shocking.

 

[Telsim]

Is that... McTominay on the right? Well, that's novel.

 

[thisisnottaken1]

Three. If AWB could play RB, Dalot would have been on the left.

Why doesn’t he play Lindelöf at right back? That’s a position at which he’s played in the past.

We do have them. ETH likes players like Lindelof and Amrabat out of position there instead. Clearly doesnt rate Sam Murray our u21 left back.

 

[Agila Dathi]

400 million spent, a few free transfers and loan deals, and this is the team available.
I just can’t wait for this season to end.

 

[lex talionis]

I’m a confirmed Martial skeptic so I’m under no illusion about his desire to earn his paychecks, but what’s the public reason why he’s nowhere to be found?

 

[didz]

We do have them. ETH likes players like Lindelof and Amrabat out of position there instead. Clearly doesnt rate Sam Murray our u21 left back.

In fairness, neither do Rochdale.

 

[Cloud7]

Today is definitely the day for an uninspiring 2-1 United win

 

[Ekeke]

In fairness, neither do Rochdale.

I guess they dont rate Mather either

 

[Rossa]

McTominay starting again forcing Bruno out of position. Terrible.

 

[SER19]

Probably our strongest lineup at the moment, Godfrey has been doing alright at RB and Beto outperforming a dismal DCL recently.

youve come to the right place, Old Trafford, where points are given away

 

[SparkedIntoLife]

I don’t get why we have two keepers on the bench. Happy for Dermot Mee but why? Surely could’ve had another outfield player on there.

 

[Gandalf Greyhame]

Not that he was a great player by any means, but surely keeping Darmian would have been better than all the money we've spent on transfers and loans for a Shaw backup.
