[Red Royal]

I would go with Shaw at LB, plus Fred and McT for Greenwood and Matic.

 

[Jonno]

Can’t wait for this. Gutted theres no fans. There won’t be half as much hatred in this as I’m used to, but it will be a cracking game I’m sure

 

[kouroux]

I cant remember the last time we started a game and didn't look drunk.

vs Istanbul at OT, best first half of the season. 2nd was a bit different though

 

[Schmeichel's Cartwheel]

more to the point, when was his last good game?

Thursday.

 

[Schmeichel's Cartwheel]

Bielsa spending his whole week trying to figure out Ole's tactics , he is in for a surprise when he realises that even Ole hasn't figured them out yet.

How can one figure out that which does not exist?

 

[Borys]

Last 5 games for Leeds - 2 wins (Everton, Newcastle), 1 Draw (Arsenal) and 2 Losses (Chelsea, West Ham). They've had some tough games recently. They tend to get high xG so this is not a game for Matic and Pogba midfield. We need to go with Shaw also.

On the other side, Leeds concede a lot of chances too so this should be fun. We could really use Cavani as they seem to have no clue how to defend balls from the wings and how to win headers.

[Dare to Zlatan]

Certainly think this will be a high scoring match. One for the neutrals definitely, Leeds will play into oles counter attacking tactics, but Leeds will press and harass our back four when playing out.

 

[Raees]

What, so we should pick a similar team? Get Ole to get his boots on? Pointless stat.

Think you’re reading too much into that one - more of a cosmetic stat so I agree with you.

There is more relevant stats in the article for example Leeds are the team that has put in the most crosses in the EPL but we have the defender with one of if not the best aerial success rate in the league - Maguire stands at 80% aerial success rate.

[Random Task]

Anyone else feeling confident about this one?

Think we're gonna surprise people and win this game comfortably this afternoon.

 

[KennyBurner]

I missed the Sheffield game and we won. Should I also miss this game cafe?

 

[duffer]

I bet you all £100 that United drop points today.

 

[Red Royal]

I missed the Sheffield game and we won. Should I also miss this game cafe?

Yes please

 

[KennyBurner]

Really hope pogba doesn’t start this game. Against Sheffield he lost the ball countless times and was bailed out by lindelof. Im sure the same will happen against Leeds and this time they will capitalize on it.

Given the ball away consistently multiple times every game doesn’t constitute a good performance even though he created an assist.

 

[KennyBurner]

Yes please

I’ll have it on in the background but won’t watch till we are two goals up. We need the win!

 

[No Idea For Nickname]

I missed the Sheffield game and we won. Should I also miss this game cafe?

Yes. Please. Thanks. And the rest od the season. You will forever be loved on Caf.

 

[No Idea For Nickname]

I’ll have it on in the background but won’t watch till we are three goals up. We need the win!

Fixed.
Yw

Smart ass

 

[TwoSheds]

God no, I can't watch that shit again!

 

[Lash]

I am, they are open as feck and that's much better for us and we tend to do well against teams like that.

I bet you all £100 that United drop points today.

Didn't realise you were so loaded, must be a real Kensington Chelsea fan

 

[charlenefan]

0-1 Leeds

the only result no one sees coming

 

[Random Task]

I am, they are open as feck and that's much better for us and we tend to do well against teams like that.

They been hit and miss all season, like us I guess, so let's hope they're having an off day. Unlikely given the rivalry between us and the fact we haven't played each other in the league for decades.

Shame we'll have no fans present as the atmosphere would be great today.

 

[VP89]

I bet you all £100 that United drop points today.

I think you're right

 

[Hughie77]

Need a good start, been saying that most of the season? I think ole goes with Fred and Mctom. Shaw back in . Pogba bench and Cavani bench. Unless he goes with Cavani from start with Martial , Rashford . Let's see. Pogba is the tough one to drop on present form in last 2 games.

 

[Offside]

Really mental how bad our home form has been this season. Surely today is the day we put in a performance?

 

[HowYouDoin]

Bielsa spending his whole week trying to figure out Ole's tactics , he is in for a surprise when he realises that even Ole hasn't figured them out yet.

Hahahahahahahaha

 

[jderbyshire]

De Gea
Wan-Bissaka Lindelof Maguire Shaw
Pogba Fred
Greenwood Fernandes Rashford
Martial
​

Hopefully Cavani is fit enough for the bench so we can bring on him and Telles if we're struggling.

 

[HowYouDoin]

I have a really bad feeling about this game but one dilemma I see everyone having is the midfield.
I would personally start Fred and Pogba. It is our strongest midfield that we should play against most teams except maybe the super top level like City and Liverpool.
For the time being anyway. Once Pogba is gone then it will be VDB who might be a better fit with McT instead of Fred.

 

[HowYouDoin]

Henderson
AWB Tuanzebe Maguire Telles
Fred Pogba
Bruno
Rashford Greenwood Martial

This is the team I would start.

Don't let the door hit your arse on the way out.

I would prefer Greenwood as a sub chasing a goal or against tiring legs. He really doesn't contributite to our build up play enough, just looks to go dorect himself too often. He will learn, but this game we cant afford to give up possession so easily.

 

[Borys]

Yeah, only if we play 4 midfielders (4-2-2-2/ diamond). No place for Matic.

 

[ForeverRed1]

Hoping we can go out there today and show intent. It’s us though so I’m not holding my breath!

 

[MadDogg]

I expected VDB to start this match in central midfield, but his poor showing off the bench in the last match (albeit at #10) puts that in doubt. Combine that with Pogba's good performance in the same match and we may very well use Pogba again instead. It's tough to pick what we'll do.

 

[SER19]

What a difficult game to predict. Two teams that you're not quite sure what you'll get.

For no other reason than blind optimism in going to go for one of those rare days where for some reason things click and we win 4-0, Greenwood x2

 

[RedTiger]

I bet you all £100 that United drop points today.

That's just printing money on your part mate.

 

[The holy trinity 68]

Leeds are quite an open and attacking team, which could play into our hands. We struggle more against park the bus teams, if Leeds try to play their usual attacking game we could punish them on the counter attack.

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Some of our counters were frightening that day and I can only imagine we'll be doing the same thing today, as Bielsa won't change his style.

 

[Offside]

Weird feeling Dan James will start.
