I'd rather Evans playing as a false 9 than Rashford up top

Maybe Antony as a false 9 today?

 

[Red Rash]

Who's Højlund ?

Højlund hears a who

 

[daveskimufc]

Wouldn't actually mind seeing Antony down the middle. He might be alright, he can hold the ball up quite well

 

[Kostov]

We can’t seem to catch a fecking brake with absentees. Let’s end the year with a win.

 

[Annihilate Now!]

Genuinely would have put McT up front

 

[Yanited__]

Shame Hojlund's ill. Very difficult to build any consistency when key players are in and out of this side

 

[Irrational.]

I am sure this has been asked a thousand times but when is hojlund?

Strained voicebox.

 

[NLunited]

Maybe Antony as a false 9 today?

I was thinking the same thing. He has all the skills (except good decision making).

 

[Someone]

Please let's not play Antony on the right. Happy to see what he can do on the left or even in the middle, but just not on the right.

 

[always_hoping]

Scott playing, Antony not.

Scott is better to have as impact sub and if needing a goal in the final quarter.

 

[Ali Dia]

I'd rather Evans playing as a false 9 than Rashford up top

Yup. On paper it’s more than enough but in reality their striker is far better than ours

 

[superdry]

Højlund hears a who

Hoj is Howland

 

[nakpodiareuben]

That bench, so weak.

Amad!

 

[48 hours]

Who's Højlund ?

 

[LDUred]

I bloody hope he proves us all wrong but his term of being direct is non-stop cutting onto his left foot and blazing his shot wide off the target. The opposition can read his game a mile off.

One of the most one footed players I’ve ever seen.

It's not so much the one-footedness, although that admitedly doesn't help his cause: it's the lack of genuine footballing ability.

Giggs was one-footed and did alright (although with time he became better with his right). Arjen Robben was also very one-footed but good enough for it not to be a drawback.

A good comparison for Antony is Nicolas Pepe. He's not good enough, at the highest level, to be a one-footed player.

 

[JB08]

Mainoo and Eriksen is a very worrying midfield.

 

[Doracle]

I’d have played McT up top but can’t really complain about that team given the injuries/illnesses.

 

[Superunknown]

That's so fecking annoying about Højlund. Would have had him down to score again today after his last game. Meh, that's shit.

The amount of sicknesses and injuries we've accumulated this season is abysmal. Players and staff need to sort this out. You can't build a consistent team if it's changing every fecking week!

 

[FrankDrebin]

Maybe Antony as a false 9 today?

He's good as a false wide player, so why not ?

 

[JediSith]

Feel bad for Hojlund after breaking his PL duck he misses the next match. If he played could have seen him scoring and building momentum.

 

[superdry]

Rashford on the left Garnacho on the right was the key against AV, they will be shifted and less effective now.

 

[MonkeysMagic]

Of all the games to miss, the one after you just scored after waiting for 13 games to score, must be the worst!

Of course we should have the quality to beat this Forest side, but not sure collectively we have had one instance when the entire team played well! So it will be a slog, and we will let them score with nothing balls, and then it's an uphill battle...this is one thing we can all agree that Utd have been consistent in!

 

[justsomebloke]

Lot of nonsense about the striker position. Rashford was very good against Villa, absolutely deserves to start again.

 

[Irrational.]

Garnacho has to play RW. Antony should play anywhere else, not like he has any impact elsewhere on the pitch.

ETH has just confirmed Antony will be RW and Garnacho on LW FFS.

 

[moodyred]

I am just glad Martial is out with illness. His usual medical leaves just started. In time for the festivity.

 

[Steve 007]

I don’t think Ten Hag had a choice. Disappointing let’s hope Anthony steps up. Rashford is through the middle. Just confirmed by ETH.

Goalie.

They worried the feck out of Villa

 

[stu_1992]

So disappointing that Hojlund is ill and that he can't ride the momentum of his first league goal last week.

 

[Dannn411]

Antony RW. FFS. Who is the person at the training ground that keeps giving key players illnesses? This is ridiculous.

 

[Adisa]

Beyond ridiculous.

 

[moodyred]

I blame Martial.

 

[criticalanalysis]

Bit surprised by the Antony criticism. Sure his end product is extremely questionable and my expectation is low but I think his general link up play and everything between the boxes is decent. I think he'll have a good game..

 

[Samid]

He’s a Man Utd right winger who neither scores nor assists. What on earth is surprising about the criticism? Dan James got heavily scrutinized here and he cost 4x less and had more end product than this bloke.

 

[surf]

That's an inexperienced young group on the subs bench.

 

[Yakuza_devils]

We need Rashford to hit another purple patch. Antony too to step up to contribute more assists and goals. We need to fight for the 5th place. This is a must win.

 

[DJ_21]

Come on reds! Let’s have a comfortable win to show we’re turning a corner!!

 

[Ish]

I’ll do you one better, why is Hojlund?

 

[Red Royal]

There always has to be one injury/illness to deal with this season doesn't there??? Just when front line slightly clicked. Oh well, here's hoping for a good performance.
